There's very few positions in politics, where you need to be charismatic but prime minister is definitely one of them.

Remind me of the space junk mothership.

The state pension is a benefit.

Meccagamezilla podcast used this as a sting .

I am essentially renovating the entire house but mostly downstairs at the moment. The only main theme I'm going with is to have far on bold bone as the wall color for everything. 

Most European countries simply don’t allow the kind of scattered, one-off rural housing that Ireland does. In Austria, for example, development is generally concentrated in existing settlements rather than allowing houses to be dotted across the countryside. Spain, meanwhile, has a highly urbanised population and also reports relatively low levels of loneliness by European standards. That doesn’t prove that urban living causes lower loneliness, but the relationship between settlement patterns, social connection and isolation is worth taking seriously. In Ireland, we seem to have developed an almost cultural aversion to density: anything above three storeys is treated with suspicion, while the detached bungalow in the middle of nowhere is still held up as an ideal. Then we wonder why so many people feel isolated. Perhaps loneliness isn’t just a social problem. Perhaps, at least in part, it’s a problem we have physically designed into the places where we live.

One argument that doesn’t get enough attention is that some workingclass loyalist communities could actually have a great deal to gain economically from a united Ireland. Many loyilist/unionist areas have suffered from long-term deprivation and underinvestment. In the event of constitutional change, there would inevitably be enormous political pressure to demonstrate that reunification worked for those communities as well as for nationalists. Any serious transition would have to put investment, infrastructure, jobs and regeneration in traditionally unionist areas near the top of the agenda. That could potentially involve substantial Irish government investment alongside whatever arrangements were negotiated with the UK, EU and other international partners. Ireland is already spending heavily on cross-border investment through its Shared Island programme, so the principle of investing in infrastructure and economic development across the island already exists. There’s also a political reality here: nationalists who already support reunification don’t need to be persuaded of its merits in the same way. Unionists would be the community whose confidence a new Ireland would most urgently need to earn. That could give deprived loyalist areas considerable political leverage when decisions about transition funding and regeneration were being made. There’s an interesting historical parallel with Aneurin Bevan establishing the NHS. Faced with resistance from hospital consultants, Bevan later famously said that he had ultimately had to “stuff their mouths with gold.” Obviously the circumstances are completely different, but the political principle is similar: if you want people to accept a fundamental change they are deeply sceptical about, you have a powerful incentive to make sure they can see tangible benefits from it. So, paradoxically, some of the communities most opposed to a united Ireland today could potentially become some of the biggest beneficiaries of the investment required to make one politically and economically sustainable.

The loyalist community has the most gained from a United Ireland. And the national community has the least to gain. 

Chernobyl was very good for the nuclear industry.

Some absolute incredible cringe core this year.

I did 12 in 3 and thought I was doing well. 

I'm surprised wireless charging hasn't been more popular with people in this position. but it is awkward and expensive to set up. 

Ok.

Well trying to go to work tomorrow

They were talking about that on Smith and Sniff.

Fantastic thank you so much.
