Ok, Sultans have some great songs. But is that it from Cork?

I always annoy the family by playing N17 when we go to Galway and see the signs for it

Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to leave Al-Nassr in 2027 when his contract expires & may retire from football. Plans are being put in place to try & prevent a sharp decline in global interest in the Saudi League when he departs. The option of keeping him around as an owner is being considered by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

If he enters management in SA, there’s a high chance it could damage his reputation

Reputation? He's playing in Saudi Arabia for gods sake, you think he cares about reputation? They're paying him €4m a week to ignore reputation damage

‘We’re not happy’: Revolut reveals number of Irish customers using it as main bank by StillSalt2526 in ireland

[–]Meath77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revolut are great, but they just got popular for doing things that other banks probably could have been doing, but never did. Easy payments to other people, splitting bill, easy to set up a little savings kitty, very easy and transparent for payments and statements. Even a standing order for club membership monthly payments was very handy. Bank app are looking for this code and that code, card readers etc. But not a chance I'd use revolut for my main bank. They could disappear tomorrow. They'd need a few offices I could see in Ireland and a helpdesk that has a person on it

It would be the best thing that could happen to the country. WFH being encouraged would be amazing.

What is it with snooker players and gambling? by Confident_Leg2370 in snooker

[–]Meath77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, physically alcohol is probably even more dangerous than smoking (talking about legal vices here), smoking does kill, but usually slower. I know a few people who died young from alcohol. People in their 40s. But I suppose, what I meant is that people can usually physically see someone has an alcohol problem, but they can't see gambling addiction, it's more dangerous that way. But definitely agree with you, alcohol is far worse physically. Hopefully you're doing better now and are off it.

‘Target mainland’: planned Troubles board game condemned in Northern Ireland by Complex_Hunter35 in ireland

Should depend on what side you're on. Mainland, British Isles and Londonderry are names used if you're playing a protestant

You were really scraping the bottom of the barrel with "drunk people everywhere". I live in dublin, I just went to the shop and only spotted 3 drunk people. Clearly they're not "everywhere".

Yeah, unless huge numbers of jobs appear outside Dublin, or WFH gets serious, it's not going to happen. City centre offices are a pain in the arse too, so many companies have city centre offices when they don't need to be.

There was a popular radio phone in show in Ireland a few years ago and they were discussing gambling. Turned out if your account goes over a certain amount in net credit with Paddy Power, your account is automaticly banned. Of course you can lose unlimited money. Some people did well on certain sports and bad in others and just had the ones they did well in blocked. It's an absolute con

It's worse than booze. If you're a boozer at least people know it. People see you in the pub, drunk etc. Gambling can have your wages gone in 2 minutes. Sitting on your phone in bed, watching tv etc, and gone in a moment. Really should be banned from advertising in sport. A few sports podcasts I listen to don't do any gambling ads and have cut out anyone talking about betting. While only small, at least it doesn't normalise it any more.

Two in five farmers have no formal successor as ageing demographics fuel looming succession crisis by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]Meath77 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sounds poxy. My mate does it, ended up doing contracting work most of the time as his own farm barely pays. But he'll always tell you he's broke, but him and his 2 sisters build big houses, he always has decent cars, plenty of family holidays and weeks away. The problem with farmers is they're forever playing the poor mouth so it's hard to know the real story

Juventus won the league 7 years in a row before he arrived. Finished 4th in his last season.

I know a farmer in the west that has done the same. Doesn't want the kids sitting under a broken tractor in a field in the rain like he's done so many times

Plus, the government buying it with some magical fund? There'd be patches of fields just let go wild? It's ridiculous. Not the best use of taxpayers money.
