  1. I'm sure that was discussed before how the UK electricity prices are linked to the price of gas, nothing to do with how the electricity is generated. Suggest you read and educate yourself on that while playing politics you can offer up some credible information
  2. "I'm so Stupid"... so it isn't the migrants then? What do you think is causing Dublin to become more dangerous?
  3. So what was your point in the pieces you linked to? Have I mis-understood your thinking that migrants to Ireland is causing Dublin to be a dangerous place?
  4. I take it the article is inferring "Migrants to Ireland are making it more dangerous", Arbtalks resident migrant to Ireland was mentioned in your comment... inferring that as a migrant, he has added to Irelands downfall to dangerous levels. Isn't this what you mean? So what did he do? A poitin fuelled bender perhaps? Fighting at the Temple Bar?
  5. Sorry, Mark, couldn't help myself there, back to your article - a much better read
  6. Ahh, not the rapist liar then? You'll be defending that one, little bit of hero worshiping the rapist I suspect.
  7. We'd agree on something, court of law, jury and all decided he is a 'lying shit bag', and rapist to boot! Cool... agreement from JohnsonD!
  8. Johnson,D, That must be one of the most out there posts you have ever made!! Suggesting that Arbtalks resident migrant to Ireland, as you name check him, has caused Dublin to be a more dangerous place? I know he is a ball up pent up rage, furious at the world but surely the Guiness hasn't got him that bad has it?
  9. No harm to the stove. If it is a lot of card it is a lot of work to make it burn got to rake the ash out constantly and if not the top layer will settle on the card below starving the oxygen so you don't get a complete burn. Better I think to have a garden fire with it - more space for the ashes - and to mix card and wood.. but again will need some attention to rake over the ashes to get a good burn. Garden fork is good. The wood in the fire keeps it going while you do this
  10. I can understand the logic behind them, have a system of reviews and perhaps targeted to a profession, then anyone can have a look and see who appears competent and who doesn't... but the whole system falls down when they ask for a payment to be listed. No Pay, no listing. Then the dodgiest of the dodgy can pay and get work. All the while a computer programmer... with no professional knowledge of the work but can use a computer... is raking it in. For companies often contracts are let by a finance manager, sometimes at the advice of an technical person, sometimes to the lowest bidder, and their checks are often "did they get a good review".. and so the dodgy keep getting work if they also pay for the reviews.
  11. Fck... I'd better have a quiet day tomorrow else I will be missing work to do just this!
  12. It just doesn't quite read right to me, I've had a look at this one yesterday and again today, and the gut feeling is there is a little more to the story we arn't being told. Pics 2 and 3 go the other way round, ladder photo the night of the 'crime' and daylight the next morning. Coincidence maybe. To me the hedge (between the trellis and the semi- house in the background) looks like it has had some attention at the same time too... but that could be incidental to a limb falling on it from the tree. Owner has had the house for 3 weeks - so photo 1 from the estate agent, or they really really loved the tree from day 1 to photo it? My feeling is the story "Was tidying up the (new?) garden, trimmed the tree, think I've messed up, can I save the tree"
  13. I suspect that there have been ways found over the years to shorten the suffering - weaker medicines or 'forgetting' to take them, 'do not resuscitate' instructions (when doing so could give a longer life), and perhaps the odd overdose (which any doctor would never say "Do not take this whole packet, it will kill you painlessly, it is meant to last a month"). Reading the articles earlier, 2 doctors to sign it off a week apart, a judge to check it over, the patient takes the medicines, looks like plenty of checks in there so you have to be sure. Can't comment on the morality though, never been there but... I think individuals need some self determination of their fate.
  14. Looks like the 'neighbour' also had a go at the hedge at the back on the right as well and left his ladders handy in the night shots. Garden furniture, the shelves, look to me like they have bedded in really really quickly in 3 weeks - but the last owner might have left them of course. Cynical me, but the story isn't quite adding up right.
  15. Forgot to say, can I bring you anything?
  16. Tuesdays? I am a Butler to the poor and insecure, but thanks for asking.
  17. Daily Starmer! The unemployment figures are for July - September so just after the general election and well before any new policies are able to be effective... so posting is all bluster from a sour looser I suspect. 4.3% pretty much the same as peaks in Jun - Aug 2023 and Feb - Apr 2024... but I didn't see you whinging then... Way off the 12% peak of the Thatcher years, the 11% of the Major years, and 8% of the Clegg-Cameron coalition of course. Your pal, Blair saw unemployment rates drop (though they rose under Brown)
  18. I got 'a man' to deal with one before I got the roofers in - I thought if they see a nest they'll be off and weeks before I can book them in again, Usually they will die off, cold, but occasionally will survive the winter.. particularly if they have a warm nest. The will need a purpose in life (a queen) usually, rare but some queens take over where the old one died and a nest can be reused the next year. In mine the new queens were good and took off into the wilds apart from 1 lazy queen each year who nested in the insulation and made a new nest in the loft. I know it is a cost but for peace of mind if I was getting work done again I'd get someone in to deal with it if I saw wasps in the loft. Depends on the loft, I'd consider long stick and prodding it - with a quick escape planned just in case and do to sure (stick, kids arrow, tennis ball....). Wasps also fly towards light, stick the loft light on and any wasps will fly round it - curious - and another test, put the light on come back 10 mins later and see. My 'man' spent more time telling me wasp stuff than he did squirting powder at them!!
  19. Open forum... we can all look, all answer. 'Irrelevant' because.... you are banging on about them on another thread and am dropping subtle hints to keep the threads on track, not just spamming the world. Guess that went right over your head?
  20. Smoke n mirrors... cannot argue your case so let us move on eh? POTUS... irrelevant to UK asylum seekers POTUS... again irrelevant to my background or current life. POTUS... rapist who you seam to look up to and apologise for.
  21. Could look at the very richest - Bill Gates, philanthropist, gives away and cares for society, Elon Musk, also very rich, self centred. Both opposing parts of the political spectrum and highlights that cash is not king at the ballot box. I could be earning another few hundred K and would still have the same outlook on life and voting intent, I could also be bankrupt and still have the same vote intent. EDIT.... However broadly true though, the poorer tend to vote differently from the 'low level rich' (not the stupidly loaded but those with some cash to burn at the end of each month)
  22. Never cost the state a penny is kind of pushing the definition then isn't it, the state reached into their coffers.. the state that we all pay into.. and paid out when they needed to. There isn't some magic "JohnsonD" pot, it is all one pot. At the start of our lives we tend to dip into it, mid life we tend to fill it and then take out again near the end. As a blanket statement to the effect of the state has never paid out for my kids is not true and either shows your blissful ignorance of how the system works or your over eager desire for an argument and offloading whatever is pent up inside you. Neither of them make for a productive forum to be honest.
  23. Probably true but is also getting very angry with the suggestion that his kids have taken anything from the state in their lives. Simply pointing out that is not the case, so he can wind his neck in a bit and stop posting just for the sake of getting some of his pent up rage off his chest. Bringing some relevance to the the thread though POTUS, politics is close enough, the amount of taxes you pay is irrelevant at the ballot box. However I would also suggest that in proportion to earnings you will be paying far more in taxes per pound than he does.. and if it isn't the case he needs to sack his accountant.
  24. Private medical insurance all the way? No NHS birth, GP, local schools, never been to a library with them, or the public baths, local parks, ... I could go on... Never cost the state a penny? Very very much doubt that. "Worlds richest man who happens to be good mates with the worlds richest rapist" - corrected you though it doesn't read any better does it, still sticks n the throat?
  25. I wouldn't be too surprised, the American dream is that a rapist can be the leader of the free world. No surprise that a man who holds half the population in such contempt is going to take control of womens reproductive systems
