Its easier for child like levels of comprehension to understand than a wall of text. Got to cater to the audience What audience, you think people read all the drivel you come out with? A couple of lines is the most I bother with and as for watching any of the video clips you post you must be joking?

I'll try and get answers for those question if I can

... Plenty of wealthy at the upper end of the food chain in Ireland might be about to take a hit. ... Ireland is big in the airline leasing business, much of that 9 billion in leases will be from Irish companies. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/russia-plans-to-seize-assets-of-western-firms-exit...

Another not a bargain that turned out OK after online chat with an Amazon rep. Picked up another network Mikrotik router from Amazon Warehouse and it arrived like new in its original packing but missing its power supply. Now I'd have no problem finding a power supply for it but on principle I got on...

1.79 for diesel at Tesco/Certa in Dundalk. Huge queues!!! If you you had a crystal ball and posted that 12 months ago you'd have been laughed at. I can remember in the UK when it was big news when petrol broke the 10 shillings (50p) a gallon barrier (probably 1969 ish?). So back then a liter would ...

Was looking forward to the next episode of Star Trek; Pickard | Season 2 episode 2 but they have played the Q card which means they don't have a decent plot so will resort to be doing anything daft to make up a story. Could easily be the last episode of Pickare S02 I bother with. S01 was OK, not gre...

I don't think its a big deal but in my experience once old wounds are opened it can take quite a bit of blood letting to close them again. If I'd bothered I'd have quite a large list of users to IGNORE, but once you have to resort to that you might as well give up posting. All I'll say is that the o...

A bit of backseat modding

Think there was an early "suggestion" (might have been in another thread) not to name specific users from the other place

Its hardly necessary anyway as we all know who they are.

I dont see a thread for this but heating oil for the house - 300 litres minimum gone up from 302 euro 3 weeks ago to 560 today. Who can afford that ??? Maybe we could expand the title of the price of Petrol/Diesel thread? Paid £800 for 1000 liters in the UK last week for my mother's house. Same tim...

Fine if you don't have to count the pennies.

So got a reply back to my second query/comment. If we cannot connect remotely to your smart meter you can still avail of the standard time-of-use tariff through your electricity supply company, this will require a meter reader to visit your premises as is the case currently. Time of use tariffs will...

Well up yours Russian Embassy Russian embassy’s street in Dublin may be renamed 'Independent Ukraine Road' Have to say reading about that made me laugh. Not sure its going to make any difference to anything but its as good a way as any of sticking two fingers up to the Russian ambassador and his cou...

Another new one I've found on Prime, might not be new to everyone but I'd not heard of it before Stan Against Evil. Its total rubbish but funny and the characters are good.

Perhaps not as good as the better known Ash vs Evil Dead but in a similar vein.

Price gouging. I'm not saying garages always do it but in the current price confusion I'm sure plenty are.

Cabinet sign off on cut of 20c per litre on petrol and 15c on diesel

If nothing else good to see some parity being brought back to the pricing of petrol compared to diesel.

I won't name any particular high street in Ireland because they all seem to be the same, badly maintained buildings with blocked gutters :evil: I had a couple of things to do in town today and got soaked. The rain was bad but the floods of water coming off blocked roof gutters did the actual soaking...

Don't know whats going on here?

Hong Kong leader says no fixed timeframe for mass testing as Covid deaths soar

Its reported as being the Omicron variant so whats changed? Hopefully not a sign of things to come anywhere else?

And its off again

Pentagon says Poland’s jet offer for Ukraine ‘not tenable’

I found this link that has a list of current sanctions on Russia https://som.yale.edu/story/2022/over-200-companies-have-withdrawn-russia-some-remain. Even Lego are doing their bit and have suspended shipments to Russia. Although I think for some companies Russia has become a logistical nightmare so...

Don't think it will make any difference, 28 old soviet migs against Russia's current airforce ? They'll be blown out of the skies when they enter Ukrainian airspace. Waste of time but at least Poland get some good second hand aircraft as replacements. Good way of modernising their fleet and sending...

Good point about the symbolism of the East West opening up. Will McDonalds closing "for the duration" be as symbolic I wonder?

I'm just listing one to start this off that amused me when I read about it McDonald's To Temporarily Close Restaurants & Pause Operations in Russia Now its hardly going to bother Putin. It is however a sign to the Russian people that something is going on? I doubt Russians will be on the street ...

I think this idea was ridiculed a few pages back Poland to send MiG-29 fighter jets to US base but it's happening all the same. I really don't know where this is all going to end but if the Russian effort doesn't improve then I see the west piling in more and more military aid to fight a Proxy War.

LinkGovernment excise duty cuts to reduce petrol and diesel cost by 15 to 20c

Don't see it helping that much and just leaves room for more gouging. If the public will pay the higher price why will forecourts rush to reduce prices if the taxes come down?

Not quite farming but I think this one will be appreciated here
