I know that it will be 50%+1 as it should be, I was just interested in the point HiMucker made as I hadn't heard of losers consent before. There isn't a hope in hell of them being allowed a supermajority for this when there wasn't one for brexit

Are there any ramifications for the result in this case?
Losers consent is a totally normal concept. Its actually the basis of democracy including 50%+1. Ie, anyone voting in an election is giving losers consent if who/what they vote for doesn't win. I think people are confused when this term has been thrown out there. It's just jargon that's used in political science.
Ps. Examples of elections that do not have losers consent are ones that one side boycotts the election, or says the election is rigged.

I'm assuming he meant since waiting times are longer for everything in the Republic it also means you have to wait longer to die, hence the longer life expectancy.
Yeah, it was a joke that pretty clearly failed to land.

I'd have an inkling towards MvG myself as his ability to make top class players look like pub drunks is extraordinary.
But the thing with darts is that averages just don't lie. They can't get padded over time. There's no adjustment needed to compare old with new like in many sports. And Taylor's averages would stack him up to take this down to the final leg, and maybe even win this game.

The brother ran Amsterdam today, only started running in lockdown. Got on super. Said it was very flat.
I'm must really try one of those easy flat Dutch Marathons instead of running hills in Dublin every year 😂

I wouldn't get too worked up in staying right beside them though. The first half or even the first 15 miles in Dublin is mainly uphill, keep the pacers in sight but don't be afraid to ease off on the pace on the uphills, the pacers usually keep an even pace and don't drop off for the hills.
Cheers lads, think I'll stick with the pacer then and see how it goes. Mostly stuck to the plan with the odd missed run now and again. Confident enough so I'll see how it goes.
From the Walkinstown roundabout at 15miles to the end there are only a couple of short hills so you would have plenty of time to catch back up to them if they are a bit ahead. The last 6 km is nearly all downhill or very flat so if you have anything left then is the time to really go for it.
