Quote from: yellowcard on February 05, 2024, 10:07:28 AMCounty management is a full time role so I'm not sure how the 2 jobs can be reconciled. Add in the 10 or so hours travel and I'm not sure how anyone could expect to deliver as both a county manager and MLA. I remember listening to Oisin McConville and Davy Burke at the end of last year saying how county management was so mentally draining and all consuming so I don't know how he can expect to do both jobs to the level required. I think he should pick one and the county managers job is certain to be the more lucrative!

If Geezer was working as an MLA I can only imagine the criticism he would be getting.

Maybe in the short term but long term he would have pension etc to consider

Quote from: thewobbler on February 01, 2024, 10:19:16 AMEven should you have an outrageously large 70 litre tank on your car, and manage to arrive in a Go station just as you're about to run out, and do so as a matter of a normal commute rather than going out of your way, then your total savings would be, wait for it, wait for it... £14.

Part of me would support a cull of anyone queuing for this offer. You know, for the long term betterment of the human race and all that.

Quote from: the_daddy on January 26, 2024, 12:00:36 PMThe banks get everyone, every way. A shopowner told me the rates were cheaper for him to use his own cash to fill the in-store ATM, and keep the ATM free, than it was to lodge it in the bank. However, if I'm expected to pay to withdraw cash from an ATM then why should I take the hit rather than the retailer? It's probably at the stage that card payments need to be factored into the price and give discount accordingly for cash.
F**king hate those charges on the ATMs. Refuse to pay them. I'll walk 1/2 a mile to get another machine than pay £1.25 to withdraw my own money.
I tend to be more card now. To the extent it's a nightmare getting £1's for afterschool/ clubs etc. got one of those new thin wallets with no room for coins so rarely have cash at all. Keep the shrapnel in the car for parking/ tolls etc. love the factor bars are card now. Saves a lot of hassle!!

Robbing fucks

"Robbing fucks". Catch a grip ffs.

It's like any other service you pay for. Take it out of the bank for free. Can't be arsed to go to the bank, or aren't carrying the cash to cover your needs after hours? Pay for the convenience.

Absolutely robbing fucks - £1.25 for an automated transaction?

I gauge robbing fucks on if they are fleecing people or not (same as any product or service I purchase or decide not to for the above reason).

A friend of mine is currently partying in Dubai, and going by her social media she's nonstop

My wife wouldn't be fussed on that stuff but it looks great

Had looked at that but the Instagram crowd wouldnt be our scene. Would look out of place anyway without Turkey teeth

Absolutely no way in hell it was a red for the initial tackle/hot.

Could the red have been for the jab to the face when there was some handbags afterwards?

For small independent local shops I would try to use cash.

For the larger/corporate businesses I use card

Anodyne, dull, instantly forgettable. Remove their entire catalogue from the annals of music and nothing changes.

Can I +1 this twice.
Monotone. Boring.

Can I +1 this thrice?

Boring boring band

Enjoy the first 10 years lads and lassies.

Because after that the fun period stops in my opinion. The real world starts to appear on their horizon and the innocence of life for them slowly starts to disappear

Nope - good show and worth watching.
But it clashes with Love Island now - decisions decisions

Great entertainment,  last nights show was brilliant.

Traitors or Love Island the all stars (proper title)

Poor Jake had to leave, he didn't love anyone and Liberty shafted him....  ;)

Seemed like Jake matured a bit in the last few years and got the f**k out of dodge.

Paul is playing a great game in Traitors. Why Miles didnt really sink him last night when he knew he was going to get the chop is a mystery.
