Mitigating factors?

Ill start. Merthyr Tydfil

Pascal didn't sound convinced by the TMOs thoughts but went with it anyhow. Abdicated responsibility

Prince Phillip was by far the best royal. He was kind of like that dottering old grandmother we all had, who kept saying inappropriate, racist things, and we’d have to explain it away that she comes from a different generation, where people weren’t as aware. But he was quite funny. Yeah, even dodde...

So far, Ireland have looked better this year than they have in a while.

johnuknow

I guess all right-thinking people can now unite behind Scotchland for the Grand Slam ! ... :P No The socks won't win fudge all apart from country with most wife beating alcoholics. The fúck Clive? Some very drunk and angry supporters. I agree the Irish should move on. I don't think Wales should on....

johnuknow

Bad day for Ireland...not a great day for Wales either though.

Ah would you go away with the distance thing. We get slammed by duty here. Easy to compare the prices of a bother in Tesco here and the UK to see them price differential. The government is very open about it. We just tax wine and spirits a massive amount compared to other countries. Our tax on wine...

Purchased babich black label pinot noir. 33 euro from baggot street wines. Since its come the whole way from NZ, and thus is playing its part in destroying the planet, I'll be disgusted if it does not please me.

Apologies if this has been mentioned but isn't there a word in the English dictionary describing a condition whereby Japanese tourists are disappointed by Paris?? Ive lived or worked in quite a few cities. Both experiences are different. Copenhagen is great to live in but not sure what a tourist cou...

A team so good that France ran up the white flag before battle. Will there be an open top bus?

I agree. I have probably more than a dozen very good Barolos in my cave yet it's a wine I actually drink very infrequently.

So when or how do you decide you can take it on?

johnuknow

You have to be in the humour for a barolo, big wine I think it's more a case that most taste tests among joe soaps show a preference for wines of a certain range. I know what cheap horrible wine stuff tastes like, but more complex wines are probably outside my tastebuds as they are for a lot of reg...

johnuknow

Got this in Baggot street wines

Like all wines, I've paid more than 30 euro form, I didn't really like it.

Others do though

Their only regret must be that the chaos may have passed by the time the election comes around. This is really awkward for the GOP.

johnuknow

I might note that years ago, when I was even more pedantic and socially awkward than I am now, my response to, "how are you doing?" Would have been, "how am I doing what?" Sadly, there’s less and less people that can speak properly now. Would that be "fewer and fewer people" or are you taking the w...

The adults left after the first hearing.

It's a bizarre high wire act from Georgias Republicans. I take my hat off to them.

johnuknow

I watched the Georgia hearing today. Very informative on how the whole process work. Trump endorsed the event on twitter but I think he'll regret that.

johnuknow

There was no Fraud accusations filed in court by Trump/Giuliani. So theres that.

I'm sure we have the Hamilton vs Schumaker debate. Who won?

johnuknow

The American people were offered a choice between a leftist, Corbynesque style party led by a fundamentally decent moderate against the GOP, a dog wagged by a despotic tail. Amazingly, they may have managed to make a good choice in rejecting elements of both. The despot will be back in 2024. He will...

Yes, surprisingly, this happens in the stable also

Can Dadhjng Williboughby and Twilight Payment beat the other two? They will both get 2M . The doubt is around their ability to turn in their best running far from home. Tigermoth and Sir Dragonet are better horses ratings wise. The latter in particular. But assuming they can get 2M comes with a risk...

johnuknow

Ill give you the Irish perspective. Sir Dragonet is the best. Generally better with a bit of juice in the ground though. Tigermoth might stay but we don't know. Twilight Payment is a little overpriced. Has run well up here this year. Dashing Williboughby is overpriced at 100 if he comes back to his ...

johnuknow

His Irish Accent was certainly unique

johnuknow

Depends on how they turn out

Ive found the whole science of polling much more interesting than I thought it would be. You either believe there is a shy Trump voter or you have to be its curtains for the Donald. There are a very small number of pollsters going against the grain and they for the most part are the types we see on ...

johnuknow

It's got a 200m market on betfair alone and could hit 500m. To put that in context, 13m is the record on betfair for a horserace.

There will be fortunes won and lost here.

I maintain that Biden should be far shorter odds than 1 to 2

johnuknow

All this discussion is for nothing. People are behaving like this election could go either way. This is purely based on some people expecting lightning to strike twice. Biden is 1/2 and he should be closer to 1/9. I forecast he could probably lose pensylvania and florida and still find a path to 270...

johnuknow

Nadal and Djockevich will go on to achieve more in terms of numbers.
But the prancing Swiss Pony probably is the greatest all rounder. Definitely in the eyes of the purists anyhow

I never listen to Van Halen. Did put on Hot for Teacher yesterday as was curious about what David Lee Roth looks like these days

I though Toulouse played quite well. ...brilliantly at times. Perhaps a bit early in their season for them.

That game looked different level compared to the other semi final
