I went to my local shop last night and a guy came out with a trolley full of milk. Fecking gallons of it.

So much for the "shows what they know, just like ophelia" claims... now let's go out and make giant snow penisesmen. Let's all build snow men.

Lads with cannabis farms in their attics $hitting it this morning.

Yeah, I'll do that. It's probably a bit early for them to contact me, and the appointment is for 11.30 so it's time enough.

Just keep an eye on your phone this morning and obviously, don't travel if you don't feel you can do so safely.
I'm going in now to cancel all my patients for tomorrow and Friday.

Badly Drunk Boy · 28-02-2018 09:24AM

Yeah, I'll ring them at 9 if I haven't heard. If it's cancelled, I'll head to work (it's a handy enough 15 minute walk).

And you'll get those who'd close the whole country down on the sniff of a bit of adverse weather. Ophelia was a freak but what we're getting now is nothing more a cold snap. The media has the whole country whipped up In a bread buying frenzy and it's utterly laughable.

People need to stay indoors, be scared and wait for further instructions. Do not think for yourselves at any stage sheeple.

No it just means health and safety for the country rather than just in work....

Aaaah, no, the money flows the other direction. Dublin contributes more to its country brethren than vice versa.

Is that so? So over three million people dont contribute to keeping dublin in at all? Ha ha really that's funny you think that

Put up your link that shows no money flows to dublin from elsewhere.

ShooterSF · 28-02-2018 09:33AM

Originally off work tomorrow and Friday. Boss is looking for me to go in now. No chance!

Kimbot · 28-02-2018 09:34AM

I got the text off my boss a half hour back, right as I was getting dressed for work exactly with Ophelia. Perfect enough timing time get my arse out of bed without me having to do a thing afterwards.

Well that’s feckin handy, great to see all of the infrastructure hasn’t gone to crap.
Roads are clear boys! The authorities have done a great job of keeping everything ticking over, unlike in the bad old days when they would have struggled to keep even minor I.T. Systems from falling over

I said more flows from Dublin than vice versa. That implies that some flows the other way too. The net flow is out of Dublin, not inwards. Dublin subsidises a lot of rural Ireland’s services. It’s economies of scale. Those three million are widely dispersed.

Oh, and you were the first to make the claim about who subsidises who so you first. I’ll go after you do, in the order in which claims were made. Off you go. Link plz.

I thought that was a general 'earth cam' type website that covers the globe for a second, given it's from Dublincity.ie it's kind of poor form of them to not just remove the photos until they get it fixed.

Really? Compare just over one million versus the three million in the rest of the country. Doesn't add up - who subsidises the vast amount of infrastructure etc concentrated in Dublin.

Btw you didn't provide the link as requested - I think you may forgot - so no you first. Thanks

As said, you made the first claim. You’ve to back yourself up every bit as much. Don’t ask others to back themselves up if you are not prepared to do so yourself. Links will only be provided by me if you do so too. Shall we remind ourselves again who made the first claim? Hint: it wasn’t me.

Dublin is densely populated, services can be provided much cheaper to its citizens than spread out rural populations. This is common sense stuff.

What services are there in rural areas?

BillyBobBS · 28-02-2018 10:04AM

Boss just rang me asking why i wasn't in lol. Told him i didn't fancy the 10 minute walk in case i slipped hurt myself and was out of work for a few weeks. He hung up.

How Soon Is Now · 28-02-2018 10:04AM

What's the usual Dublin vs the rest of the country got to do with snow lads?

Well that fact that it's only snowing when it's snowing in Dublin is one thing :pac:

Also hilarious to see Dublin melt down in events like this.

How long would a bag of firewood last, while using a fire to heat a small room with mediocre insulation? (The bags they sell in lids, in case there is variation in size)

And how many slices of bread would it take to insulate such a room ?
