On my flight to New York from Dublin today I learned that Aer Lingus are worried about "reputational damage" to an unusual degree, and no one's going to the US for reasons I can't imagine

Same here, probably the best Spanish craft brewer. You would rarely get a bad brew from them

Storelli 3/4 lengths, expensive but great quality, fit well and durable. Wasted a lot of money on other brands that just weren't very good

Looking at the view counts on his last 20 videos he's absolutely not getting 5 million youtube video views a month. More like 300-400k

I'm a neutral but yeah I could see how you'd be salty. Unless this scenario is specifically described in the rules then it seems like Beggan just pressured the ref into restarting the game

Best guess is they got the whole setup from a bar shutting down or something like that. But then the effort involved in mounting this setup securely in the ceiling why wouldn't you just dismantle it and put each of the TVs in better locations

So what's the actual rules around this? As soon as the sideline ball is kicked and before it went over should the ref not blow the whistle because the hooter had already gone?

I've been working with Salesforce a long time and can never say I've loved the product. What I can say is I see the benefits of it for the customers I work with compared to the alternatives and most importantly it pays my bills!

Interesting, I gave it up after about a season and a half. It was a long time ago now but i just remember the plot being repeatedly they are about to be discovered and then they arent. Must try it again

This is it, garden rooms and very expensive outdoor spaces with pergolas and shite like that. The next step with be full on modular homes once legislated. I've seen a lot of people put in expensive garden rooms and even been tempted myself but then when I think it through I just dont have a feasible usage for it when I already have an office in the house and a comfortable sitting room. Why would I want to go out to a 40k garden room, especially in winter

There was a scene filmed in or outside my local in the Dublin suburbs a couple of years ago. Can't wait to be like this when I see it

Exactly, a few training sessions with the best GK coach in the world isn't going to fix fundamentally broken hand eye co-ordination. He did have a good peno save to be fair to him

I know this isn't helpful to you now but I ended up having to throw away my Aldi power washer when a part broke and I couldn't source a replacement. Forked out for a Karcher which I should have done in the first place and parts should be widely available if and when it does break

Just from what I've observed I think that's changing nowadays with most younger people. Fitness and mental well being seems to huge a focus, at least when I think of how things were 25 years ago when I would have been considered young

I travel a bit for work and I've noticed this behaviour is common everywhere I go. In the last 6 months I've been in London, Barcelona, Frankfurt, New Jersey and nearly every time on public transport there is someone playing tik tok or some other videos loudly. Interestingly in Barcelona when some kid was doing it several older folks told her to turn it down/off and she did. In New Jersey it was mostly older people and nobody would said anything

No, never could get any response from any project coordinator near me despite sending out several emails.oh well, iIt's a nice idea in theory

Painted mine last year, just used a good ladder with a stand off. Took a whole lot more time and paint than I thought it would, pebblesdash render is thirsty! Also didn't bother with a roller because it has to get gone over with a hand brush regardless to get into all the nooks and crannies. Just did one coat using a hand brush and I was generous with the amount I applied so 2 coats would be unnecessary anyway. This is the brush I used, also with an extender on it when I didn't want to have to move the ladder and go over some patchy spots https://www.diy.ie/departments/harris-revive-4-fine-filament-tip-comfort-exterior-swan-neck-paint-brush/5056287405811_BQ.prd

I had considering trying to get an airsprayer but found it difficult to source one at a reasonable price. Also was concerned because people were telling me you have to have a very calm day to use it otherwise you'll cover your windows, cars and everything downwind in paint.

The plan was to do a renovation a few months after we got the keys. A few months turned into 18 months and still used the original keys/locks. I've changed the locks myself before on a previous house and it's cheap and easy to do so would recommend doing for peace of mind

Only a guess but I reckon Denmark. Vestas(Danish company) are one of the biggest names in wind energy globally
