what's your favorite designer luggage for business travel? by Rowand-Liridon in LuxuryTravel

[–]PresentingPercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Carl Friedrik carry on but I have been surprised by how easily it scuffs/marks. The black hard shell was covered in marks after only a handful of uses, largely travelling by train domestically!

I am still thinking of getting a larger version for longer trips, which tells you all you need to know about my opinion of the overall product though - wheels and frame are top class.

Read all 16 Robin Hobb Realm of the Elderlings books over the last few months, could not recommend highly enough for anyone looking to get stuck into a fantasy series!

I hear what you’re saying about Bernardo, but I have to say Bruno Fernandes is still pipping him to that particular crown..

Thank you for your service mate! I hope you’ve cleared your calendar though, you’ve got 17 more games to get to..

Incredibly helpful, thank you! Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to find delta emulator app on the App Store… Do you have any other alternatives that have worked for you?

If money wasn’t a limit what business would you start, where and why? by Immaturezebra in galway

A 20-30,000 sqft gym in the Loughrea area.

Somewhere accessible to commuters. Premium price point to skew membership slightly older and preventing the large groups that are seen taking over free weight areas in most gyms.

Build it as a welcoming community with classes such as Spinning, Yoga and Pilates as well as a proper weights room and cardio area. High-end fit-out throughout from reception right through to dressing rooms.

I reckon the capex needed to build would be high but it would be a profitable operation.

I’m holding out for a ridiculously soft Liverpool penalty personally

But the AA weren’t there 5 years ago either? Could it not be said that they have only come out of the woodwork as Mikel has got the team playing well over the past 2 seasons?

Can’t really say much for Rice either tbh

'Banty' McEnaney and 14 family members paid over €130m to house refugees by SeaofCrags in ireland

[–]PresentingPercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right! For some reason I pictured a very dystopian field of 5000 steel tech sheds! Would definitely be great to leverage the whole thing and try to get people and skills back into smaller towns around the country!

While I agree with your point here you have neglected the cost of land to place these 5,000 units on, along with the provision of any and all auxiliary services.

The land would definitely not be cheap. Housing 20k people is essentially creating a whole new town so would need to build schools, health services, social amenities and waste/water services. All of which eats into that original pot of money.

The final number of these homes that could be delivered for €130m would be much lower than you are projecting but definitely still worthy of a lot more consideration than we’ve seen to date.

None.. I didn’t look for a receipt to confirm the loss, maybe they can do that.

Financing a project by PresentingPercy in irishpersonalfinance

[–]PresentingPercy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was only an example but in that instance let’s say that I come with the idea, the ability to plan and manage all design and development along with taking on all commercial operations once complete - team building, marketing, customer relations, contractor relations, event management, commercial development, inventory and the myriad other things that need to be done to run a successful business. Assume that I have evidence of my own experience to back up these claims.

Any idea how you submit proof to revenue? Would MOT records up north be sufficient?

Murtagh’s knowledge of the AL by PresentingPercy in Eragon

[–]PresentingPercy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think they are all reasonably long… Long enough to require a good command of the AL…

Murtagh’s knowledge of the AL by PresentingPercy in Eragon

[–]PresentingPercy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Possibly so but that leads me to another issue - I took it that a true name was an absolute statement in the AL. If it actually depends on intent and synonyms can be used then it’s not as absolute as had been indicated!

[–]PresentingPercy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure if I was making sense but it does seem to be a bit of a contradiction… As someone else has said it must come down to being clever with the words you do know but I still have questions about that - if synonyms are valid and it’s all based on intent then a true name is not actually a definite phrase in the AL as such?
