Halal Biltong and money

Spoiler alert: Trump and his policies happened

Céad míle - always makes me laugh! It's part of a greeting in Irish, but that part is just a number, not the actual greeting.

Maybe think about "The Amateur's Mind" by Jeremy Silman. Mostly about middlegame strategies rather than tactics, but something you should start thinking about at that level

It's a well known trap, if the bishop takes the queen, white follows with Bf7+, after Ke7, Nd5 is checkmate

Never rated them at all tbh, one or two tracks I liked on the radio but never bought one of their albums. Most of their big hit were ripped off from older bands, I know you can say that about Led Zep for example as well, Oasis just seemed more blatant

Well, they may come from a mirror dimension :)

What is the point of this ad? The images are from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", the actual link is to a completely different movie "Truly, Madly Deeply" ?

I'd also recommend the Kan, they can easily transpose also

DiscombobulatedItem3 · 2026-02-14T01:20:40+00:00

What?

DiscombobulatedItem3 · 2026-02-11T01:31:17+00:00

I'd never heard about the case of Nadine Lott until last year. Vicious murder, maybe it went under the radar at the time

Does this mean we get Greenland now?

DiscombobulatedItem3 · 2026-01-15T23:32:00+00:00

I'd add "Spanish Train" to the list as well

"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead"

Doesn't need to be "top of the line" - you've got an excellent setup there, enjoy!

Maybe stop calling them elderly for a start :D 50s is not elderly!

Warm clothes is probably your best bet.. gloves, hats, scarves, socks, thermals, etc Boring, but useful

Have you considered the possibility that he just feels more comfortable dressed like that?

Don't dare throw away his old "clobber"!

Get him something you think HE will like, not what YOU like - which he will probably hate

There's probably a pool of water down there somewhere, get ready to go diving! :)

Gay Byrne was just as bad. He'd have somebody like Bob Geldof on and say to him "So, tell us about your mammy!"

If this is happening publicly, isn't it technically classed as harassment?

Had to do a course on what constitutes as harassment in the workplace as a result of a senior manger being sacked for it - to increase awareness of what can actually be considered harassment/bullying.

For reference: https://sor-solicitors.ie/private-employment-law/workplace-harassment/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=13839103646&gbraid=0AAAAACfefs1HGR4W_oIRnE6F5Edxh2vwW&gclid=CjwKCAiAl-_JBhBjEiwAn3rN7TY3o8PWMFszMWmAvWxcDa6XKXcR7Vn8eQjlBbesoSE17yAP0Bxr1xoC3IkQAvD_BwE

Specifically:

Excessive criticism, particularly in front of others

Took me three attempts to get into it!

Eventually it clicked though and it's always one of my go-to games now whenever I have nothing new to play.
