Anyone ever been at the Ballyogan sorting office?
I had mail delivered to the wrong address & have been told it was returned there.

Just need to know where it is & how easy it is to get the mail. Just need ID?

coming from Carrickmines exit on M50 its about 1/2 mile up on left hand side. You'll see the post box outside it. Parking inside. Shouldn't be a problem getting the mail. If you have any problems ask for Mark Fenton. Tell him Archie (my knickname) said to ask for him and he'll sort it out.

[careca]

actually Cat probably best to ring them first as I have a feeling the mail only stays there for a day or so and gets shipped off elsewhere (main sorting office in Tallaght or something). Could be wrong though.

[DeadParrot]

I think Pollen counts have been very high for the last week or so.

I use this and it worked for me last Summer. It's fairly uncomfortable the first few time but you soon get used to it.

fuck that.

[DeadParrot]

i'm saying its a cold.
Runny nose, sneezing, foggy head, watery eyes, light fever

Man flu

[Closed_Account]

Yeah ditto on the hay fever. In bits. In berlin at the moment and my eyes are very swollen which has never happened before. Also wheezing like a mofo-only have an inhaler which was out of date two years ago-assume it would be OK to use it. Not in the humour to have to get a prescription auf deutsch for a new one.

Could you please play the role of 'a disturbance in the public gallery'?

Roar 'traitor' at SQ repeatedly.

[Starvin Marvin]

Fucking hell, in bits with hay fever this morning. Look like a junkie.

Ulster Bank haven't drawn down my morg payment either, I look forward to the cunts trying to charge me over their own incompetence

seen a few facebook statuses this week about it

Homeopathy is a real shot in the dark, but this is probably the only thing that ever worked for me.

If you're really fucked the injection off the doctor is the nut cure and only thing that ever worked for me. Will last all summer and is like you don't have hayfever.

I have it way too bad for any of those shitty over the counter cures to have any effect.

Can't do it although judging by the characters around me whatever decision is given it could get a bit theatrical in here. Lots of pro-Quinn cavan folk and a good dose of "where's my NAMA Joe?" types baying for blood.

Expect a cliche gasp and "order in the court" to make an appearance at the decision being delivered.

Some wag next to me keeps calling him Princess Laya.

I got it last year and it did very little for me! Although, this year I haven't been suffering too badly, so maybe there are some legacy affects?? Having said that, I usually don't get it really bad until the end of the summer.

[Raoul Duke III]

I have no fucking idea what this banking debt deal actually means. Neither does.anyone else but it's fairly given Gilmore a hard-on.

Wow I thought that worked for everyone.

Me and a friend of mine who also gets it really bad have been getting that for the last few years and it works very well for us.

Kenalog is the name of the injection.

[Raoul Duke III]

No idea. Best case outcome is the EFSF\ESM retroactively takes on the debt associated with recapitalising BoI, AIB, EBS ILP\TSB plus the 35bn or so incinerated in Anglo\INBS. This is approx 65bn.

Realistically though, we're looking at sticky, sugar-based confectionary.

[Raoul Duke III]

Probably a retarded question but if we took loan repayments \ bailout cash and whatnot out of the balance sheet is Ireland running at a profit or a loss right now or are we still spending more than we are taking in?

I think we still have a big problem.
we are still running a huge deficit

Our taxes simply are not enough to pay for public sector wages and social welfare of all sorts.
Shows why the croke park agreement is such a joke.

Massive deficit still. So no change to current austerity programme.

I'm more interested in what this does to the composition of the debt.

Its so bloody stupid and frustrating were skint but lets keep paying out high wages and welfare off all sorts so we can dig ourselves deeper into debt.

There are obviously lots of reasons for people to have gripes with both UEFA and FIFA (corruption, sleaze, Blatter, obscenely money-driven etc.) but by far the biggest has to be their crusade against the sessioners of this world.

Why oh why must they have the World Cup and Euros final on a Sunday? I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday than chilling out in the afternoon with a few beers, maybe a BBQ and then watching the football, all the time accompanied by more beers. This would leave a nice, lazy Sunday to recover and watch some less taxing sport like tennis or something.

Instead, we get stuck with a Sunday final, where with every beer that annoying cunt of a voice in the back of your head will be reminding you that you have to be up in x-amount of hours and have x-amount of things to do.

I'm with Euan Murray on this one, sport should not be played on a Sunday (well it should, but a major final shouldn't be played on a Sunday night).

[Megatron]

@Mike_Vaughan: Mario Balotelli: "I don't celebrate goals because it's my job, postmen don't celebrate when they post letters??" what a guy.

I'm surprised Carlsberg and other beer sponsors haven't pushed for a saturday finals. Especially when looking at the success of the Champions league final.

[RichieM]

Ya puts us at a massive disadvantage when negotiating surely since we can say we will default and stuff your bailout since we need the cash coming in to cover our day to day.

Nice exercise in futility trying to get out of debt by borrowing more and still spending more than your wages. It is not as if we are really pumping vast amounts into infrastructure projects to justify it in the long term.

Ah well payday friday and it nice and warm. Also heading to the Curragh tomorrow so any tips would be happily received.

[carlop]

Yeah it's weird, I can't really figure it out. Maybe it's because they want to have the opening game on a Friday night and can't fit everything in in time for a Saturday final.

[DeadParrot]

Thanks for the info, took a gamble & headed there anyway, was only 5 mins away from where I was. Unfortunately it left Dublin at 5am this morning to head back to Belfast, sigh, especially as my mum never remembers to put her (sender's) address on it. So she'll be on a bit of a goose chase herself no doubt trying to track down where it'll end up, up there

How/where did you get the graphics in your sig?

Both the Youtube and Twitter banners can be found on those sites somewhere - just google them. The HTML code they give you is not useful here though, just snag the image URL and do the rest yourself in your sig.

[ArmaniJeans]

Come on you know I couldn't answer that even if I knew ( the latter part that is)

There will almost definitely be a punitive element to this and there's no point in fining a bankrupt so what do you think the Court is going to do? The only common law remedies here are fiscal and committal.

Beyond that I cannot comment as it is sub judice

You forgot 'please dont do it again and maybe give a wee hand reversing bits of it' as the third option.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0629/breaking15.html

Bankrupt businessman Sean Quinn, his son Sean and nephew Peter Darragh Quinn have been ordered to take specified steps aimed at unwinding measures taken to put multi-million euro assets in the Quinn international property group beyond the reach of the former Anglo Irish Bank.

Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne also today made clear to the three they could face punitive sanctions if they do not obey the orders, which include orders requiring them to disclose all their assets.

"The judge made orders directing the three to disclose all their assets in Ireland and worldwide, whether held directly or indirectly. They must also disclose the work done by lawyers and any other agents of theirs in relation to the worldwide assets."

So time to 'correct' themselves, which if they don't do to the Courts' satisfaction may lead to fine and/or imprisonment.

How an intelligent man such as yourself can have anything to do with homoeopathy saddens me.

On the hay fever thing. I historically get a bit hay fevery at the turn of seasons. But this year has been like nothing else. The last 2 months has been the worst I have ever experienced.

The most annoying thing for me is deep ear itching. This has also lead to my doing something I have never come across anyone else doing. I "scratch" my inner ears by compressing air into them with my hand / vibrating them. Doing this makes a squeaking noise that variously fascinates or repulses people.

I was doing it during the interval of a play a couple of weeks ago and the stranger besides me starts cracking up and asking how do I do that.

I don't know what other people hear when I do it. It sounds like a very pitched squeak to me but then it is in my ear so...

Can anyone else do it? Put your hand over your ear, palm covering the opening. Now start pressing it in and out rapidly at a slight upwards angle and see if it starts squeaking after a few seconds of this.

The issue of what penalty to impose was adjourned to allow the sides consider her ruling and make submissions

It's not over yet. She adjourned the punative element. If you'd seen how it went it was the right thing to do from an overall perspective.

Oh, and people only get sent to jail for failure to pay a TV licence if they can pay but won't. Nobody has ever been sent to jail who couldn't afford a TV licence. Nobody.

Think it makes sense to hold over the threat of punitive sanctions and give them time to assist in undoing whatever they may have done with overseas assets.

Judge was quoted the last day as saying that her attitude to the punitive element would be heavily determined by their cooperation now.

From any perspective, getting back the 200m plus of overseas assets is worth more than seeing them in jail and/or fining them a couple of million which they will declare inability to pay.

I think it's down to how each individual person treats their equipment, I don't think any of my charger cables have broken but I have had a couple set of earphones break maybe two out of all the time I've had my iPod's.

Read somewhere recently (speculatively) that Apple might be ditching their dock connector in favour of a smaller connection.
