    I see Trump in a hump has given Ireland the bump. Doubt anyone’s too disappointed.

    Apparently because of planned protests. Or so they say



    Feels like the gaze of Sauron has been distracted by a shiny new toy.

    He's been protested everywhere. That's hardly the reason.

    Land him in Shannon and whisk him immediately to Doonbeg. About the only way you could do it.

    Every farmer within 5 miles of Doonbeg would have the slurry spreader out that day...

    Any idea where I'd be able to get these sort of hinges (https://www.woodies.ie/steel-cranked-backflip-hinge-2-1071656) but not pay 6 quid a pop?

    Your link didn't work for me, but you could have a look here.
    They are in Kilcoole.

    Any builder's suppliers or decent hardware should have those, and be cheaper than Woodies. Chadwicks or the likes, although smaller independent stores tend to be cheaper.

    Yes but you nick your finger in the process and it's $480,000 for a bandage and a few stitches.

    Yea they're expensive enough.


    I need semi-decent looking ones though. They are to hold the walls of a cot together, so they'll be visible.

    Woodies are a rip off. Especially for stuff like that.

    Walls?

    Like a prison cot?

    Only if you're uninsured. Otherwise a Lipizzaner-drawn carriage brings you to a gated five-star country club medical facility (location never disclosed to the poor). As a specialist team of 19 surgeons discuss the MRI of your finger, you will sample the estate's award-winning Grenache, bathe in ground up bonsai trees, and relax while Morgan Freeman reads aloud your favourite childhood storybook (presumably something by Ayn Rand).

    Glen Hansard and The Frames really have an excellent back catalog.

    One of the ones where I've been thinking why haven't I been listening to his stuff more!

    When I was a teenager/early student, I listened to their stuff. He was the torch bearer for student rock/indie music in Ireland for a good while. But a lot of their stuff has aged very badly. It sounds exceptionally dated, I think. I think For The Birds has actually aged decently but anything before that sounds rough as a badger's arse now.

    Same way you can accurately describe a Sheep's most intimate textures.

    That's actually maybe the most disgusting sentence I've ever written.
