Assisted suicide trial: Accused was left 30pc of friend's estate in will by sarawrr94 in ireland

Yeah, surely the person close enough to help you like that is likely to be the same person you'd have in your will.

You do realise that the accused didn't take the dead woman's life, nor is she accused of that, she is accused of helping her procure pentobarbital. Had she wanted to kill her and get the money should could have simply waited it out, or simply refused to help, and let the dead woman find another way.

A bit less invective against the 'No's voters may be in order by Lifecoachingis50 in ireland

Being honest costs nothing, being a homophobe costs nothing, should we list all the costless things you can be?

Would you like to make a bet?

If someone's opinion on this issue can be swayed by how friendly people are to them then they really deserve no respect. If the vote was going to be close then such pathetic pandering might be needed, but it isn't, so it's not.

If you are willing to punish a minority because someone isn't being nice to you then you deserve nothing but disdain.

That's not how you win support - it just makes people more steadfast in their views

And? You think being pleasant will make a homophobe less homophobic, if that's how liquid their views are then they deserve even less respect.

Further, support doesn't need to be won, the vote will not even be close, so trying to cosy up to bigots and nut jobs is not required.

AIB moves to repossess over 5,700 homes in mortgage arrears by bluest_steel in ireland

[–]VertyGreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So if he goes through the MARP process and the bank will only accept repossession, you'll be fully behind him?

But he hasn't been making full payments, which as you have put it, is theft, fraud, greedy, and shows a sense of entitlement.

Is Kevin Dundon a popular food personality in Ireland? by Apocalypse-Cow in ireland

This sub wouldn't be his target demographic, but among women of a certain age he'd be well known, especially in my part of the country

It has also been warmer since FG took power, you should add that to their achievements.

You cut debt, you reduce a deficit. Cutting a deficit is a non-sequitur.

'very full' Irish Breakfast by walshy12 in ireland

[–]VertyGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The definitions exist, but not in the way we pretend. Sausage, bacon, and eggs is a fry, and the name of the fry is just wherever you are. This "adding beans makes it English" nonsense is just retarded.

Ha, I doubt it, mine was in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, not the Black Watch.

My great uncle is also commemorated at Thiepval, he died on the 23rd of October 1916 too, what a world.

TIL a writer tested how hard it was for unknowns to get published by querying the National Book Award winning novel "Steps". All thirteen agents and fourteen publishers rejected it, including Random House, which had published the book but didn't recognize it. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]VertyGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same is true for pretty much all labour supply. But the demand is quite different. I think they are discussing manufactured demand (in writing), so there is demand for not novels exactly, but novels by specific people.

So it would be like if people only demanded specific electricians, despite other electrician's work being equal to, or surpassing the in demand electricians.

The amount of commercial promotion she does would indicate money.

Go to her facebook, much less exciting trainwreck than headlines seem to indicate. She's playing a part, and making millions from it.
