Been informed about a job in Oz by an ex that is leaving the job and coming home to Ireland that I'd be qualified and been asked to forward a CV on. I'd bea muppet not too right given Irleland in the current state its in right? Would have to sort out something on my apt that bought through the affordable housing scheme tho and know the rules for renting out are quite strict in that regard.

BBC2 now HERE WE GO!!!!

LOL at the idea that before your ex gets home she wants to make sure you remain on the other side of the planet Pics of ex required obv..

It's wayyyyyyy over the line from Tony G. If it was a $1k, $2k even $10k buyin, it could be brushed off a little but i'm presuming that both of them were sitting there with $100k of cold hard cash which makes it a sickening angleshoot.

if anyone actually believes what they hear at a poker table they deserve to lose all their money

[Donkathon]

I just realised when i joined this forum i joined to improve my poker and to try and help others improve how they play poker not to get caught in moral debates about rare bad or good moves i make in my life.

I do realise i made the comments that sparked the debate and for that i can only blame myself. From here on in i shall try keep BBV comments poker related or as close as possibly can be.

lol, poker in the bbv (not going to happen )

500 posts.....good jesus.

Great start to the day, up at 8 with no chance of getting back asleep even though I'm wrecked. Body clock's can be a pain in the hole. Took the suit off the hanger, wore it out on Friday night because it was a Grad night for all our Physio friends here, had a look today and I've no jacket, and there's chewing gum on the bottom of the pants and fake tan all over one of the thighs.

Need to wear it tomorrow. Balllllllllllls

[digiman]

Yeah but there is a pile of bullshit propaganda fed to us about how bad it is to drink drive these days. And you can be sure that when a guy who had a couple of pints does kill somebody that we are going to hear all about him being drunk. It doesn't mean he was actually drunk as opposed to consumed alcohol, it doesn't mean he caused the accident either. I know from experience of when I did it that I was as good if not a better driver after 3 or 4 pints as when I was sober.

Now if a guy was drunk out of his head as I said earlier its a whole different thing. For me if I got in a car after 6 pints I'd deserve anything that happened to me. I am not fit to drive a vehicle at that stage, I might get home alright but I do know that I my reactions etc. are impaired after that many pints.

IMO you should not be let drive on the road at all then. I would be all for a total ban of driving after just one bottle. I'm actually surprised by some of the younger posters here and their opinions on it.

[Strewelpeter]

I'm completely against it and anyone caught should be banned from the road and/or get a prison sentence. If you give any lee way people will take a mile. No excuse for it.

How would people who see no problem with drink driving feel if worse case scenario was to happen. They kill someone or someone in their family was to be killed by a drink driver.

Sure you only had 3/4/5 pints and nothing every happened before when you drove after a few. I'm sure the persons family would feel better after hearing that.

Or Tom who has been drink driving for years, only ever has a few and he never made a mistake driving before. I'm sure you can relate to him and forgive him when you're putting a family member in the ground.

+ a million

If any of the droolers that want to pretend that drinking and driving is ok or that anyone is a better driver after a couple of pints want to carry on the conversation come on down to me some day and I'll bring you on a tour of half a dozen graves that are full as a direct result of people who thought like you. Then we can finish up and I'll bring you to meet a friend of mine who is a proper drooler, 50 years old now he has literally been drooling for the past 32 years since he came across someone who thought he was 'OK to drive'.

[The Situation]

Do police in the country still throw a blind eye to well known locals having a couple of pints and driving home?

Do police in the country still throw a blind eye to well known locals having a couple of pints and driving home?

Yep, although they dont like the piss being taken usually only let you off once or twice

My uncle parked outside the pub & drank all day (He live about 10 minutes walk away)
Proceeded to fall out of the pub & get into his car, guards pull up along side & tell him he better not be going to try drive home

They actually gave him a lift to his door lol
Then the mad cunt when the guards left he walked back down to get his car lol

Needless to say he was stopped again bring the car up & banned

(Before any smart comments my uncle is dead now so stfu in advance)

(Edit: & no it wasnt from drink driving)

[Emmet]

The thing that really marks the whole idea of drink driving is that you have no idea what effect alcohol is going to have on your judgement until it's already impaired.

We've all been out and missed dinner, or had a 2 hour kick around and ended up smashed on 3/4 pints before.

Just in the same way that there's times when you're on your 6th/7th and you reckon you'd still pass a sobriety test.

Alcohol's affect on you has so many more variables than "volume of alcohol" consumed, yet this is the only 'effective' test available to the potential drink driver.

Whats your move here:

At a tourney where a lot of the players know each other well a player who isn't known at the table makes a strong play check raising the flop and one of the locals folds AK face up. After checking his cards and mucking the player to his right... well I don'k know how easy or hard it was for him to see them but he does see the cards being mucked, he then sits back and starts gesticulating to his friends at the table that the check raiser didn't have it. A couple of minutes later the unknown player gets up and leaves the table and the guy to his right is asked and tells the table what the player had.
When he returns to the table no one says anything.
should you , another unknown, say anything?

[Bubbleking]

Re: the whole drink driving thing

We own a pub in the country so as you can imagine it would be pretty prevalent down our way. In saying that it isn't as bad as you'd think - the local lads all come down on bicycles (pretty funny watching them go home tbh and its prob just as dangerous as driving but anyway). Most groups would have a designated driver and for the rest we just leave them home after. Bit annoying having to do taxi at 3am but it has to be done.

Theres always a few who drink drive (always the older lads). They've been doing it all their life - thats not an excuse for it just saying old habits die hard but it certainly isnt a necessity to drive drunk. Iv said it to a few of them before "ah mick I'll spin you home" and I was looked at like I had 10 heads. But in saying that people arent stupid either if there has been a good session in the Pub the next morning the carpark will still be full

I know lads tell you that you look like Rooney but I was laughing last night every time Joe Sheridan got on the ball. Split of you. Anyone ever tell you that?

[Ste05]

There are few looser terms thrown around than the word 'Alcoholic' and the resistance to the word is enormous. I use it to describe anyone who has problems in their life that are caused by alcohol. I'm sorry if it offends anyone's sensibilities but speaking as someone with thirty years experience dealing with people with alcohol problems, for me and many other people I know drinking and driving is as good a jumping off point for a working definition of what makes an alcoholic as there is.
So as far as I'm concerned anyone drives a car over the legal limit has a problem in that their drinking is more important to them than the safety of other people.

And then you go and throw one of the loosest definition of alcoholism I've heard in a while. If a person drinks and drives, that does NOT make them an alcoholic, not even close!
As someone with a claimed 30 years experience of dealing with alcoholism I'm hugely surprised you came to this conclusion. Or did you possibly mean you have 30 years experience dealing with people affected by drink driving?

Obviously that's terrible, but please don't play down the effect alcoholism has on people's lives by trying to imply that someone that drink drives is an alcoholic, it completely takes away from the good points you have on drink driving.

People who drink and drive are a danger on the road, as are alcoholics who drive drunk and both should be punished for that crime. markc hits the nail on the head:

So all drink drivers are alcoholics because anyone who drives a car over the limit meets your definition of an alcoholic. Ever heard of a tautology?

Alcoholics are powerless over alcohol - that's true. I am sure that many alcoholics drive while drunk. I am also sure that many people who are not alcoholics drink and drive.

Anyone who drives over the limit is a criminal, they are not necessarily alcoholics and for you to conclude that is just ridiculous. Some people are just stupid and some are careless and they deserve the full measure of the law. Saying that all drink drivers are alcoholics is just plain wrong and it adds nothing to the analysis of why people drink and drive...

[Zuroph]

Having one pint and driving is not an issue, at all. The only reason for it to be outlawed is to perpetuate the meme "Never drink and drive". That's not based on reality, good statistics or anything other than propaganda.

I'll say this: I've driven drunk before. I won't do it again. But driving while tired is a hundred times worse than driving while drunk. If you're drunk, and you know you're drunk, you can force yourself to focus and make yourself concentrate on the road. If you're tired, no matter how hard you try, you are going to make a mistake, and you can't do fuck all except hope you get home in one piece. So learn to sleep in your car.

with respect, that balls. you can force yourself to try and focus, but your response times are compromised. sure, you can drive slower, but there's other issues like equilibrium that come into play too.
you don't have to feel "drunk" for alcohol to have seriously impaired your bodys instincts, response times and ability to react.

I thought I explained it fairly clearly, maybe not. The word can and is used to cover anyone who has an alcohol problem, I go on to demonstrate that anyone who drinks and drives has an alcohol problem. They are putting their drinking ahead of the lives of other people, if that is not a drink problem then I don't know what is.

Anyone is entitled to disagree with me but they are wrong.

yeah the whole time - when I was a member of he gym in Navan a couple of times people would be taking to me for 5 or 10 mins convinced I was him. I didnt really get it at first but I figured it out after when he said - "bye Joe best of luck on Sunday"

[Angry-Ball]

Not quiet sure what this means. But have you ever gone to the local and drove home i know where your local is and have a rough idea where you live and would be interested to hearif you really never have.

every night i go out to the local there would be upwards of 12 cars parked there including mine, by 2 in the morning ther is none, don't think she sells much orange either. driving home after 9-10 pints and a few drops isn't that uncommon tbh.

[Funkymonk]

Ok here is the gist of the problem.

Due to bad housekeeping a companies accounts had been neglected. 4 Years worth of info sitting on the system. Invoices etc from the S.O.P ledger.

I backed it all up and deleted the old info up to when the next set of accounts due. I checked the data and fixed the warnings which were pretty normal. A couple of debtor balance mismatches.

I left and got a call to say that when you put a stock code into the system a different name came up beside it. But if you hit the tab key the right name comes up. Now there are thousands of codes and you can't know them all. I went back to the place and did a few things and it was working fine. I created a new company and put the data in there and it was ok. Transported back and it was grand.

Call today that it was back to the way it was,

Now.. my question.

it has been a while since I did this sort of stuff. But I have a vague recollection of when data got corrupt that you can rebuild the data using the function in Maintenance,

I can't remember what that does. I want it to basically break the links and reset it again without losing info.

Is this right?

I used to know Sage inside out but been a few years since I was using it regular.

Thanks

My move is to read your post another twice and still not really understand it

The fact that Tony G pulled the move on TV where he will be shown up as a cunt makes it twice as bad. I'm not sure if the fact it was against Hellmuth nullifies that but i know there's no lost love between the 2. It would really make my day if Hellmuth busted him. One thing tho, it's riveting viewing to have Hellmuth and Tony G at the same table so looking forward to trying to catch it on Monday/Tuesday

No logic to your line here, if anything it is 100% the opposite

He is fully open in what he is doing because he knows he will get caught by the camera, it would be worse if he did it in a spot where he knew he wouldn't be caught

He is doing it for the TV as it is a TV show, all part of his character as one of the bad guys & will get him another TV booking

If I wasn't so invested in it I'd be tempted to absolutely lump on Kildare at the 11/4 that has been available. I just can't see how that price is right but maybe I'm looking through white tinted spectacles.
The windy day and that Dublin will try to turn it into a brawl are in Dublin's favour but its got to be a l;ot closer than 11/4

I usually look forward to the pre season Emirates Cup

The first year was Arsenal, PSG, Valencia, Inter Milan
Second year was Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus, Hamburg
Following year was Arsenal, Rangers, A Madrid, PSG
Last year was Arsenal, Celtic, Lyon, AC Milan

And this year...Arsenal, PSG, Boca Juniors and New York Red Bulls

The Red Bulls are sitting on top of their league and will give Thierry Henry a chance to come home, but i'm a bot disappointed by the line up tbh

Considering our full pre-season schedule is made up of the above, 2 games in Asia, a game against Cologne and a game against Benfica it's a pretty shit build up

[Zod]

The Red Bulls are sitting on top of their league and will give Thierry Henry a chance to come home

do you think he'll handle it?

[LuckyLloyd]

Me.

I see no need whatsoever to mix the two, I am a terrible fiend for the drinking, but the extreme taboo that is drink driving is enough to completely and utterly dissuade me from ever thinking that it was ok to do so.

If I'm driving, I'm on the lemonades or probably just stick to the uisce, if I'm drinking, its balls to the wall stuff. Americans are absolute fiends for it, it really really shook me when I was over there that plenty of them would drive to party, have 5/6 cans, one glass of water and then drive home.

It's just something I don't want to be involved in, ever. There's no excuse worth dying for. That's the simplest way of putting it. If you know that you'll need to drive to a pub to get a drink, get a few cans from the off license and stay in instead. Convenience isn't worth the hassle.

Eh, they routinely drive in much worse states without any rebuke from their peers. There were a couple of times where I got into the passenger seat of a car in North Dakota with people and felt like a fucking spanner the next day for doing so.

[Ste05]

I thought I explained it fairly clearly, maybe not. The word can and is used to cover anyone who has an alcohol problem, I go on to demonstrate that anyone who drinks and drives has an alcohol problem. They are putting their drinking ahead of the lives of other people, if that is not a drink problem then I don't know what is.

A person who drinks and drives is not an alcoholic. They have a stupidity problem and are committing a criminal offence.
By trying to make your stupid point of classing people who drink and drive as an alcoholic, all you are doing is completely making light and demeaning the problems people face who actually have to live with the everything associated with alcoholism. If the only problem people living with alcoholism had to face was the chance their husband/ wife/ whatever would drive home drunk from the pub after a night out then I'd say they'd be bloody delighted.

The term "alcoholism" was split into "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" in 1980's DSM-III, and in 1987's DSM-III-R behavioral symptoms were moved from "abuse" to "dependence". It has been suggested that DSM-V merge alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single new entry, named "alcohol-use disorder".

Alcohol abuse = repeated use despite recurrent adverse consequences.
Alcohol dependence = alcohol abuse combined with tolerance, withdrawal, and an uncontrollable drive to drink

Which of these definitions do you think someone falls under if they drive home on one occasion while being over the legal limit?


BTW, what do the following people suffer from:
People who speed;
People who drive while tired;
People who drive without due care and attention;
People who talk on the phone while driving;
People who drive with balding tires;
People who drive without a valid NCT;
People who drive without car insurance or road tax;
etc. etc. etc.

It's a stupid argument you're trying to make. See how easy it was to downplay drink driving to a mere road traffic offence. That's what you're doing with alcoholism in attempting to make your point, all you do is weaken your overall argument.

[LuckyLloyd]

I'll say this: I've driven drunk before. I won't do it again. But driving while tired is a hundred times worse than driving while drunk. If you're drunk, and you know you're drunk, you can force yourself to focus and make yourself concentrate on the road. If you're tired, no matter how hard you try, you are going to make a mistake, and you can't do fuck all except hope you get home in one piece. So learn to sleep in your car.

This is so fucking true, and it really is a disgrace that we don't have more PSA ads on the topic.
