12th night generally, whether it comes down then or not depends on my hangover as my boss is having a free bar at his wedding that weekend.

If you or another poster has any quantity of self-recorded stuff they want to digitise, there was a VERY brief period of VCR+DVDR decks which can record from one to the other direct. The JVC ones are actually very good quality DVD players for the era too. Loads on eBay for tiny money now. The...

The tags on that post have the dear departed (well, I've not seen anyone use them in years) alternates of Ringtones and Kanchelskis.

Tonights the night! Midweek, ridiculous Invite specified "dresscode: glamour" so most of us are just going dressed as normal, sure its a glamour industry and we're all fabulous already. They were going to say black tie as I mentioned before but backed off for some reason - even though basically...

In my case it was the company looking to do too much and finding no venue will to do it until January - they all had too many other parties to faff around with

Wherever I've worked it's been the company pays - sometimes through the nose for it. Last employer it was basically a full wedding bar the ceremony - drinks reception and nibbles, full dinner, speeches, band, more food, DJ. Current employer is doing a black tie "awards ceremony" with about a...

McCarthy is Ireland manager; Westlife, Spice Girls and Boyzone are all playing large venues in Dublin next year. I'm expecting NSC to go black and white and not require a login and our next game to be in Division 3 imminently!

One opening near-ish to my office in May (allegedly, they bought the buildings two years ago but are working through a few other projects in the city). Unlikely to use it often but looking forward to the impact on the other boozers prices. A brewery-owned pub I quite like that's nearer, does...

Budget is about €1m a year depending how dear your assistant is, no idea what he's on here though but it could easily be more. He'll be asked. I don't think he'll take it.

We were told that 'variable workers', that is anyone without a fixed base salary and effectively about 60% of one division and 40% of the other - couldn't come at all this year. That was overturned when everyone, including the site director (was CEO until a merger and title changes etc)...

20649 by incredible luck on the imagery First one had a village full of Dacia cars and a Romanian flag and I got within about 200km Second one was a stab at it being southwest US from the house types, got fairly close Third was a stab at it being US prairies from being flat and the road...

The woman has severe, ongoing mental health issues and the media have not helped by covering every single thing they can in great detail. She had one vaguely successful single a few years ago and otherwise her 'fame' since then has been newspapers going 'look at the mad woman! look! isn't she...

It seems that quite recently someone: Broke the break glass unit on our front door to get out Unscrewed the unit to get the glass out TAPED IT BACK TOGETHER Put it back in It didn't stand up to the pressure and released the doors this morning.

I realised a few weeks ago that a good half of our hefty printing costs were two people printing and retyping orders from one system to another. Long term plans to make that automatic haven't happened yet and their roles wouldn't be redundant anyway (its an ad scheduling system, there's a lot of...

House is still eating everything - bought a just barely habitable (intact roof, water/sewage and electricity) probate sale a few years ago and I'm getting towards the end of the heavy expenditure. Windows, insulation, water tanks, heating replacement done and a new front door paid for not...

Actual last game was last night, unfortunately going off injured on 16 minutes. Scored a penalty in the first leg of the playoff; Harps won 3-0 on aggregate and have returned to the SSE Premier Division

Absolute fake

For those things I doubt there are opposing groups at all (well, there are some sad lonely twats who might argue the second one). But when there are opposing arguments, both sides are going to go for positive sounding names; a negative name "doesn't sell"

I was accused of exaggurating when I said that no-deal would mean the lights go out in Northern Ireland. Seems HMG are starting to admit there are severe problems in this area at least https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-45657966 NI is dependent on ROI generated power and ROI gas and...

Waiting for them to try open one in Dublin with that name The mangling of the fairly obscure English slang term "jakes" for a toilet to the extremely common "jacks" means that nobody is going to be willing to admit where they bought their bargain. Telling someone you found it in Jack's just...
