The amount of foreigners in Galway during arts festival is downright annoying. Trying to have a quiet pint with the lady when some loud Americans ruin my day. Just lovely..

Had a similar problem at the start of the summer but don't worry they had it ready for me, I think they say "might" to cover themselves. They'd have it the next day if you really needed it. I thought €150 was expensive too but I wont lose my passport four days before a holiday again. The office in Dublin said they wouldn't do it for me, luckily Cork were more helpful (and probably not as busy)

Yeah GAA "punditry" is a disaster , they spent 10 mins discussing the Wexford/Limerick controversy without even mentioning hawk eye! Not once !
BonnieShels
24/07/2011, 10:16 PM
Gaelic football punditry is terrible. No qualms with Hurling Analysis.

No need to mention hawkeye. It's been on trial this year so its not like the GAA are doing a fifa on it.

Jaysus though, heaven forbid you should criticise Cork in front of a Corkman. Davis was a disgrace tonight.

Cmon Mayo. Cmon Limerick.

You speak the truth there. Made that trip a few times, but had to start in Limerick and go out to Gweedore. A hoary auld voyage.

Just because Amy Winehouse is dead (lord rest her soul etc and please god let Adele be next) there is no reason for radio stations, DJs, nightclubs to play the arse out of her music for the next six months...

That'd be handy if you were applying for job with Bulmers. David McWilliams aside, their orchard looks like a great place to work...

Hope it goes well for you, BS!

It went okay. Coming back into the current job this morning makes me want the new one more.

Potential second interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed I get there.

The good news for you lot in all this is that my appearances on foot.ie will be extremely curtailed!

Any media commentator or employers body that pontificates about high welfare rates, or our "high" rates of pay, should be forced to live on those wages. Has the bloke from ISME or that bint from the SFA ever tried living on the minimum wage? Has Kevin Myers ever lived on the dole?

Special prize for the bloke from Retail Ireland on Matt Cooper last night - says we won't spend our way out of recession, because consumers are worried about rates of pay and their future, so his solution is to say we need to cut more jobs and cut wages. Way to go helping consumer confidence...

Right although I didn't get the phone call, the phone call has been delayed til Tuesday. This works for me. More time to study for the potential second interview.

No. Not happy at all about it though.

And ye'll do nothing in the semis now.
Mr A
31/07/2011, 4:09 PM
What's that based on?

Donegal will play Tyrone, who they've already beaten, or Dublin, who narrowly beat Kildare.

And I don't think Donegal have fully hit their stride yet either.
BonnieShels
31/07/2011, 4:45 PM
Based on absolutely nothing. The thing is there's always a game like this every year.
What I said wasn't meant to sound like a swipe at Donegal at all. But you know as well as I do sometimes a team comes through a game like this and collapse into a heap next day out. That's all.

The same thing could be said about Mayo today. They could easily capitulate against Kerry in the Semis. Not based on anything but you know yourself, it could happen. If Mayo get to the final I would be delighted meaning the drudgery and inevitability of the summer will make way for the optimism of September, for once.

Either way I will be in London next week missing out on what could be game of the year.
