Quote from: SouthDublinBro on May 13, 2024, 12:14:18 AMKieran McGeeney has now had 10 years in charge of Armagh with talented enough players. Not even winning ONE Ulster title is embarrassing. It's an ongoing culture of abject failure. Just as how Mayo will continue to not win an AI title until perennial chokers Aidan O'Shea and Cillian O'Connor are excised from that panel, Armagh CAN'T succeed until McGeeney is removed.

I just have visions of Rian O'Neill giving a Tohillesque tour de force, driving Armagh on to win through sheer force of will.
Pundits leaning Armagh from what I've heard so far. "It's their time!" seems to be the consensus.
O'Neill will do well to see out the game!
on what basis?

10 PRINT "HELLO ARMAGHNIAC"
20 GOTO 10
RUN
Wikipedia suggests that the first program was PRINT 2 + 2
You have to admire those who wrote the Interpreter. 11 years later Gates and Allen wrote the interpreter for the Altair, although they did not have an Altair.
Quote from: Never beat the deeler on May 01, 2024, 07:40:38 AMThis article about Richard Martin (1754 - 1834)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Martin_(Irish_politician)QuoteActive life
Martin also had a very eventful life. He was a colonel of the County Galway Volunteers.[29] He survived two shipwrecks.[30] He fought over a hundred duels with sword and pistol and earned the nickname "Hairtrigger Dick".[31] He travelled extensively in Europe and the Americas during the 1770s and was in New England when the American Revolutionary War began.[32] He initiated Galway's first theatre in 1783.[33]
Martin was on a first-name basis with many of the famous names of his age, including King George IV (who gave him the nickname "Humanity Dick"), Henry Flood, Henry Grattan, William Pitt, Queen Caroline, and Daniel O'Connell.[34] Despite his nickname he was considered a very harsh landlord in Ireland.[35]
On his death in 1834 his son Thomas became his heir.[36] A workhouse was built on his estate during the Irish famine. Although the workhouse was an apparent pledge to help the poor suffering from starvation, it is agreed that Thomas and his family did little to help and approximately 150,000 people died on their land during this period from starvation and fever.[36] Most of Martin's estate (approx. 200,000 acres (809 km2)) was in the west of Ireland and this area had one of the highest death tolls during the Famine.
You'd want to be a serious operator to be considered a harsh landlord at the time. Though 150,000 dead would do it
Quote from: David McKeown on April 25, 2024, 10:51:20 PMQuote from: marty34 on April 25, 2024, 09:31:05 PMDavid, regarding the PPS. How many people work there?
So say a case comes to them from the cops. Do a small group of them look at it and decide to prosecute or is it discussed between a big group and an answer is given?
I was just wondering how it works. I hear PPS mentioned a lot but am just wondering how it is behind the scenes.
Not sure of the exact numbers but around 150 - 200 prosecutors and 300 - 350 support staff split across different regions and specialisms. Cases will be effectively triaged to the correct team and level of seniority. Ultimately it's the directing officers responsibility but they will know seek help and assistance from colleagues and superiors if necessary.
