On Maria Sharapova, I thought this was quite well argued:
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/mar/09/maria-sharapova-error-excuse-drugs

and this bit nicely put:

I don’t know about you but whenever I go to my family doctor I always insist on the stuff that has only been exhaustively clinically trialled for different ailments to the one which it is treating in me, but which just seems like it “made me healthy”. I’m like: “Trial it on me! I’ll be a trial of one!” And I urge you to use this approach next time you can’t shake off the flu or Serena Williams.

Bilfinger are threatening to remove bikes around the IFSC (from bike racks no less)

Saw some of the signs on some bikes this afternoon similar to these from a broadsheet story in 2013

Surely, they don't have the right and it should be considered theft?

What?!

The areas of the Docklands that are covered by Bilfinger are private property AFAIK. With that in mind, then I guess they do have the right (unreasonable and all as it is).

However, you say this is in relation to bike racks?! That one I find hard to fathom (unless it's in relation to old vandalised & abandoned bike frames).

If someone parks a car in your private lot, do you have right to burn it?

Abandoned bikes are a problem in the city center. It means other cyclists can't use the rack. The council has the right to clear abandoned bikes locked to the racks after a period of time, but not, as far as I know, in a managed area.

It's just another form of littering.

I am not certain of this. I understand that if its not a designated cycle lock, they have to give you a notice of 24hours to remove, but I could be wrong but if there is clear signage saying not to lock, they can remove it straight away. The same goes for private property to an extent eg if your bike is locked to railings with a public side or space, the same rules apply but if you throw your bike into a garden, they can do what they want with it.

I've noticed abandoned bikes being cleared, after a period of time, from the designated bike racks on Parnell Street and Princes St North, with no obvious warning signs over the past year.

They seem to have a more thought out policy now though link

roverrules · 09-03-2016 11:44PM

Wonder if they'll progress it onto locks without cycles attached to them, they're just as much an eyesore.

Currently on the train from Sligo, people sitting down the end of the carriage have decided to play YouTube videos at full volume. I cannot for the life of me figure out what they're watching. The sound is a mix of chainsaws, motorbikes, tin whistles, diddly-eye fiddle-ing and weird wailing-Irish-woman-singing.

Oh how I wish I brought my headphones.

Why the fcuk they think everyone else on the train wants to listen to it is beyond me. :mad:

Easca Peasca · 10-03-2016 09:47PM

I thought Irish Rail managed to block YouTube? The lack of any consideration for others would truly amaze you sometimes.

Unknown Soldier · 10-03-2016 09:49PM

is it "time"?

A question I keep asking myself.

"soon, my little CF SLX, soon...."

I'm bored.

Is there anyway you could live-stream the events to YouTube?

Sadly public service DJs are a global phenomenon nowadays.

Basically having a boyracer car with subwoofers in the boot has been pedestrianised.

U stream. or Periscope.

eeeee · 10-03-2016 10:05PM

I think a live stream would be too exciting!

Yep YouTube us blocked on the trains, although it worked for me last week on my laptop, but not on the phone.

Even the poor screaming child had gone quiet. I don't think they like to be upstaged.

Nearly there. Thank fcuk.

Raam · 10-03-2016 10:06PM

Can we at least get some pics of the action?

eeeee · 10-03-2016 11:15PM

Too late, home now. They weren't very impressive as it turned out, and quite small in stature. The were inversely proportional to the size of the racket they made

They don't care because they're in a group. Had the same issue on the bus to Waterford last month, though I had my earphones

I'm not going to lie.

Your suitcase comment confused the life out of me earlier, I was trying to wrap my head around it, and that maybe that's where your user name came from?, being German etc.

I came back to your post later and then realised it was the drawing one that you were really referring too

Well done! That is proper "awesome".

Your picture, that you did with your own hands.... was actually in space (more or less)

Like, in actual "SPACE", up there, above us all.

Stuff like that doesn't actually happen a lot. I think that's really special!

I'd be super chuffed if I was you!

Hmmzis · 11-03-2016 08:57PM

Hats off Zyzz, that is bloody awesome! Your work in space, incredible! Things like this don't happen often.

The suitcase bomb business really blew up but it just wasn't for me..

I'm not very fit, even with two legs?

It's actually a long list, the more I think about it.
