It's dreadful to watch but I can't look away. May's speech last night was nothing short of disgraceful and she needs to be removed immediately. I really can't understand her strategy thus far, especially her unwillingness to work on getting some type of cross party consensus on how to move forward. The whole situation isn't helped by Corbyn being totally incompetent

And replace her with who though? Ministers are already coming out and saying they'll resign if Johnson takes over, and Raab is an idiot as well who will drive them towards a hard Brexit with no mercy at the cost of the people.

I’d been having that issue too, but did the obvious thing lately that I’d never bothered trying (because it never worked before) and ran the diagnostic. There was some IP address issue that the diagnostic resolved and it’s all good since.

Just tried to run the diagnostic on the modem and it's saying no issues. Wired internet speed often drops drastically for a short period of time while the WiFi is fine. It's driving me up the wall. Every time I try to ring them they say my expected wait time is 30 minutes + and I never bother hanging on.

Edit: I know your post was weeks ago but it popped into my head while cursing Eir :pac:

I've never accepted the reality that a no-deal Brexit could happen and presumed that at some stage the grown ups would step in and some politically sensible option would surface.

I actually think the UK could be on the verge of doing something really very damaging here and highly consequential for the decades ahead.

I saw one reporter on Twitter calling for a no deal Brexit, because the EU 27 would’nt allow the UK in the room, while they discussed an extension. Brexit is literally Britain asking not to be in the room and he wants to spit the dummy when he gets it

Very timely.

Glad nobody spoiled Alan Partridge because I just watched it yesterday and cried I was laughing so hard

Are people watching Fleabag? On an hour after Partridge and, apart from last week's highpoint for Partridge, a significantly better show.

Watched the first series last year and enjoyed it. I only series linked it last week so think I've missed a couple of episodes. Was that episode 3 on Monday?

I'm watching it too, this weeks episode was great. Reckon it's improved on the first season. Not your typical one dimensional comedy characters

It's fantastic. Her comic timing is unreal and the chemistry with Andrew Scott is amazing.

It's all over the sports newsfeeds. A certain mma fighter from Dublin may be charged with sexual assault!
This fighter announced his retirement yesterday.
If true, this man is a gob****e.

You can take the boy out Clondalkin but....

If he has actually sexually assaulted someone then I'd say there is a lot wrong with him.

Regarding his general behaviour I'd say he has too much free time and money on his hands, he has no boundaries and isn't mature enough to set his own ones.

He's basically a rich child surrounded by negative influences, quite a recipe for self-destruction.

errlloyd

New York Times named him. I can see him getting a mistrial.

Anyway, if the rumours are true its a lot worse than sexual assault.

swiwi_

Am I allowed to say I didn’t really like Fleabag...even if it costs me hipster points?

Dubinusa

It's bizarre his swift fall from grace!
If he's guilty, they should lock him up. If it's true, he's a disgusting specimen.
I do recall reading about it in Dec. Had no idea who it was?
That poor woman. Good God she must have been terrified. What a plonker, if true?

The guadian had a great take on the train wreck that is currently British parliament this morning

They had a website where the 'candidates' they were saying they were putting forward for election were all stock photos.

I think it's all just a really elaborate piss take.

I'm sure UCD are thrilled to have a professor of science so publicly linked with the group...

Yeah there’s loads of good new stuff about, where producers are working with musicians rather than just creating it electronically.
