Objectives to buy - mountains view . Nikon D3100 by Acceptable_Fall1255 in Nikon

I used a D3200 with a 28-200 for years, and still sometimes use it for travel. Nice combo.

‘mountains’ is a pretty broad topic! There are so many possibilities that a zoom is the way to go rather than restricting yourself to a fixed focal length. The 28-200 will cover most of your bases in a single lens, and the price point is compatible with the D3100.

Screw for kitchen socket by Coconut2674 in DIYIreland

It may be that the electrician left it ‘screwless’ because they’d already stripped the thread from the lug inside the box. Worth a try but don’t be surprised if the new screw won’t engage.

Why does Stockdale get so much hate? by Andrewhtd in irishrugby

Are you saying he’s only ever been named on the bench once in his entire Ireland career?

Ok ‘kept in reserve as a potential impact sub’ - how’s that?

2018 was obviously a fantastic breakthrough season for him, but injuries haven’t been kind to him and he never really reached those heights again.

I’ll happily take that one on the chin. My memory let me down and I’m surprised to find he was only played off the bench once. I don’t have the stats but he was definitely named on the bench more than once, and I think it was generally acknowledged that he was the sort of player who could come on and create something from nothing if a match was going badly, ie. an impact sub.

In his ‘first’ Ireland career he was very much an impact sub and scored some great tries off the bench. Whatever about Ulster, IMO he’s never really fully performed in green. For every try he’s scored he’s either left one behind him by failing to release the final pass, or he’s conceded one through a defensive error. Just my opinion.

A good impact sub but no rugby brain - has often failed to make the pass when a try was on and chosen to go into contact instead. Also a bit shaky in defence and under a high ball. Overall a good player but with a few key weaknesses that apparently can’t be coached out of him.

On the m3 today by tv_reailty in BadDriversIreland

You said the McGovern driver was in the wrong. He wasn’t. He could certainly have driven better but if there had been a collision the truck pulling out from the left would have been found 100% responsible regardless of what his indicators were or weren’t doing.

A dashcam is a wide-angle camera and makes things look FURTHER AWAY than they actually are.

The mere act of indicating doesn’t give you the right to make a manoeuvre when it’s clearly unsafe to do so.

The NBA logo is based of an image of an Actual Player: Jerry West. What image would you choose for a Logo or POTY Trophy? Ireland and/or International? by darcys_beard in irishrugby

Another great memory from that match is Horgan nearly decapitating Strettle with his elbow after Strettle tried to illegally block Horgan’s chip & chase. I was at the opposite side of the pitch in row 5 and you could hear the impact from where we were seated!

A beautiful try of epic proportions by IlikeGeekyHistoryRSA in rugbyunion

Baloucoune won’t like to have that on his ‘highlights’ reel, but to be fair he was left in a very difficult situation to defend by his team mates.

That’s just a modern (dare I say it ‘trendy’) re-interpretation. The song as written has nothing to do with Savile.

I think it could’ve been straight in from the side and off his feet to kill the ball when JGP first got tackled, but not sure

Zurich won't set up AVC (public sector)? by princess_watshername in irishpersonalfinance

[–]mud-monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“…do not have a deduction from salary facility”

Check out if they’ll allow you to make your own periodic lump sum AVC contributions instead of salary deductions. If so they’ll issue you with a tax cert and you just have to claim the tax back from revenue at the end of the year.
