1 in 5 not working or seeking work. Mad.
Quote from: Eamonnca1 on March 12, 2024, 05:31:30 AMI've looked at the charts for the price of Etherium and Bitcoin and they're both the same shape. Reminds me of another chart I've been looking at lately, stock in the company I work for. The Dow and the S&P 500 are all following similar trends. Assets are on a bit of a surge, even bubbly stuff like Crypto that has no intrinsic value.
If I were youse boys I'd get out while you're ahead, or at least get all your investment back. It's not a "mistake" to cut out early if you've got your money made. If you've already got your money back then you may play away with what's still invested.

Could do worse than a 30 grand starter.
See new teachers will start on £30,000 which is a decent starting wage coming out of college with 12 weeks paid for while sitting at home
Can he teach though?
Quote from: JimStynes on March 11, 2024, 03:27:46 PMQuote from: trailer on March 11, 2024, 03:11:41 PMHuge pay offer for teachers.
The pay offer equates to a cumulative uplift of 10.4% plus £1,000 on teachers' pay scales over the three-year period of the settlement for 2021, 2022 and 2023. In addition, the starting salary for teachers will rise to £30,000 from 1 September 2023, representing a 24.3% increase from the current starting salary for teachers in Northern Ireland and bringing the starting point equal to England.
Double it and then we will talk

I go to City of Armagh home matches when I can and their AIL 1A matches are "relatively" well supported, but even that's in the hundreds (official capacity is 1000).Quote from: trileacman on March 11, 2024, 11:21:04 AMQuote from: thewobbler on March 10, 2024, 10:49:07 PMQuote from: Wildweasel74 on March 10, 2024, 08:55:03 PMDidn't deliver in the World cup,look that's the problem, the part time supporter not knowing the real layout of the land in Rugby. France was the most heavy favoured team to win on home Ground, then South Africa, followed by Ireland and New Zealand.The top 4 ,there was very little between them and that showed in games. Had Ireland actually been playing at home like France, then they would have been the favourites. The only people saying we were favourites is the Dublin media and people who knew f**k all about Rugby.
Ah you're fully bought in. Fair play to you.
The layout of the land is that Ireland has a unique advantage in international rugby whereby our international team absolutely trumps the needs of club rugby.
It provides us a genuine advantage in that our players our better rested and more closely coached for the international game.
But 20 odd years on we haven't come close to realising this advantage. We use it to build focused teams instead of competitive squads.
As a policy it leaves Ireland as sitting ducks. No matter how well drilled Ireland become - and by God are we well drilled - everyone knows what's coming.
And unless we find a couple of unplayable types like O'Driscoll at once, then it counts against us.

On this note. Murray should have been retired from Ireland duty a decade ago.
By accident or design - and honestly I still don't know which - the predominant feature of his game has been shite box kicking. Nobody else does this at this level. Because it's shite, pointless rugby, unless it comes as a surprise.
Don't think this is true at all. Before the professional era Ireland were behind both Scotland and Wales in terms of success. We were miles behind England. Now at club level and international level we are blitzing all 3 of those sides. The idea that we are sacrificing club rugby to boost the national team is simply not supported by the facts.
This is true at professional club level where they have 4 teams.
The Amateur game is dead.
