I signed up to N26 (similar to Revolut) recently for a trip to Australia. Perfect. Didn't handle cash once for the whole trip. You get 5 free cash withdrawals per month if you must.

What's the point of a gas barbecue - i.e. a gas cooker outdoors?

As people from the 6 Cos will still be entitled to the same GFA citizenship provisions in an All Ireland State it's fair to assume there will be a local Assembly/Administration there.

Re not voting the whole ballot paper affecting the quota .....
Unless the 6 Co system is different the Quota is based on the Total Valid poll divided by the number of seats plus 1 ( e.g ÷5 in a 4 seater and so on) and remains at that figure tgrough all the counts.

That's right. I should have put "quota" in quotes or better still not used it. The effect is to reduce the number of votes it takes to get a candidate elected since there are fewer transferable votes. This applies, of course, not to your individual vote but happens if significant numbers of people don't vote all the way down the ballot.

It probably makes a very marginal difference, but you should give your least favoured candidate the lowest preference and put a number beside every candidate. Failing to do this means the quota is lowered by reducing the number of transferable votes. Therefore your least favoured candidate has a better chance of reaching the quota.

Brass neck.

Oh shit. Shane in the water and a three- shot lead lost in two holes.

Agree with the above, I didn't see bombardiers name on the list.

Still trading under the Short Brothers moniker in that report for some reason.

How many black people of diminished stature do they employ?

Cultural misinterpretation at Lidl?

Fare play.

An 850-year-old beacon of human heritage is destroyed and all some fools can think to say is that we shouldn't call it a human tragedy because there's only one definition of tragedy.

Or they suggest that we shouldn't bewail the loss unless we issue a preamble listing all tragedies (to be mediated by these commentators themselves, we assume).

They seem to believe that to mourn one tragedy implies complete disregard for other tragedies.

And then, when someone offers to pay for its restoration, they condemn him for not paying to remediate other tragedies (thereby also assuming that he has never contributed to any other cause).

[It seems pretty open and shut here]

See Begum is getting legal aid now, to fight the decision to strip her of her British citizenship. Hasn't been about for four years or so but, sure, let's throw bucketloads of money at her, to uphold her 'rights'. World has definitely gone mad.

She is as entitled to legal aid as you or I. If she was not she would not be getting it.

Legally yes. Morally, Politically....Socially....I'm not so sure.

Yes you Brits or west Brits are really concerned about the possible use or misuse  of Brit exchequer money.
Did you know the KKK was formed and grew because Of Negro Rape, Assault & Murder, well so the KKK claimed that sort of thing happened, not unlike ultra right propaganda against Muslims today.

Meanwhile the 100th anniversary of the Amritsar massacre was acknowledged  to some extent by a minor UK tv channel (CH 4) on Saturday in a documentary named The Massacre that Shook the Empire. Despite it actually being the massacre to shake the british empire, the documentary maker was nonplussed to begin with,  but 5 minutes after visiting the scene of the massacre was prompted to declare that the British Empire in India was an exercise in institutionalised racism and sadistically cruel.
i thought that was a pretty mild statement myself, I would have used stronger words. For the most part British people think that the British empire was beneficial to humanity. Rhees Mog contents that the Amritsar massacre was but a tiny blot. Boris Johnson  in his biography of Churchill doesn't deem it necessary to even mention anything about the Famine of Bengal in 1943, a famine which Churchill's war cabinet's decisions exacerbated the effect of,  to the tune of 3m dead.
But let's get back to wonderfull Blighty and and their attitude to the now young mother, (or is it ex mother)  who can be condemned because of a few edited newspaper and tv accounts, and who you now say is not entitled to present her side of the story to a instituted  court of law,  but let it be trial by daily Mail??
I say old chaps, is that how you play cricket?

Quite the rant - you'll have to excuse me, I fail to see what Churchill or indeed British atrocities back whenever have to do with this. Bit ironic considering you seem to be defending a woman who cleared off to join a group / nation in the Middle East that made atrocity their MO.

Don't really care how the British Govt. spend their money, that's their money to spend how they wish I suppose.

But if you hop on a plane to join Al-Baghdadi and his new state, you can't have your cake and eat it. It seems pretty open and shut here. Again, legally that's for better minds than me to argue - but certainly I think most 'normal' people will hold the same opinion here, she's went off to join a state which essentially massacred anyone but her own. She made her bed.

That's grand then. Let random members of the public, no - say even a majority of the public, using 'information' provided by such august journals as the Sun and Daily Mail decide which cases are 'open and shut' and so leave the courts to decide on the tricky cases (as also determined by said majority, deeply knowledgeable and informed public opinion). Major savings to be made if we introduced sensible reforms like this, especially in this information age where reputable commentators by the million are available on social media to expedite these decisions.

I'm told it's worth filming but not worth going to film.

I'm sure Brigín/Kimmage will be along shortly to suggest that Duffy/Browne  were much worse.......

You do understand that claiming I'm Paul Kimmage makes you look special needs?

Is there any reason why you continually make reference to special needs?
Catch a grip of yourself ffs.

How else do you respond to a post with that level of stupidity? He shows all the hallmarks of being on the spectrum.

Or put another way, if Rainmam is happy to dish it out...

You regularly provide entertainment here claiming to be something you clearly are not and attempt to take a position of superiority but your calling other posters as "special needs" is just not on. The fact you persevere does not reflect well on you.

I would focus more on the equating of special needs with stupidity. Redolent  of 'Shamrock Rovers Ultras'. Are we dealing with a reincarnation of dublinfella?

The President of America can't say origin. He thinks noise causes cancer. The actual President of America.

I think he might have a degenerative disease die to excessive pussy grabbing

He sounds awful

I don't think his degeneracy is medically based.

Ref allows as many steps as you want.
