WorldbyStorm - 19:58 Sat Sep 14, 2019 The Dáil returns this coming week, so no better time for RedC/SBP to offer us this news fresh after the Dublin/Kerry game: FG 29% +1 FF 28% +4 IND 13% -1 SF 12% -1 GP 7% NC LP 6% +1 IND ALL 3% +1 SD 1% -1 SOL-PBP 1% -1 What to make of it? […]A
WorldbyStorm - 13:55 Sat Sep 14, 2019 Anyone in Dealz recently? I was at their Clare Hall outlet looking for baked crisps (natch!) which they didn?t have and was fairly entertained by their self-service check out tills. There?s almost no circumstances in which I?ll use them ahead of a human check out. One side of that is an aversion to seeing jobs […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:00 Sat Sep 14, 2019 Was entertained by the Apple Event this last week. Gasp at three cameras on its flagship iPhone 11, gasp at the price of the Apple Watch, gasp at the horrible horrible ?slofies? idea (that is slow motion video clips. ? ). Some clever moves – not least their Apple TV+ television streaming network that is […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:24 Sat Sep 14, 2019 …they really should get Benedict Cumberbatch to play TG. Watched Brexit: Uncivil Wars last night and halfway through it struck me that Cumberbatch, playing the now ever-present Dominic Cummings, was the spit of a taller leaner Gregory. I’ve a few thoughts on that production – mostly good, but they’ll keep for a few days, other […]A
WorldbyStorm - 08:09 Sat Sep 14, 2019 Speaking of Woodstock, as was mentioned only two weeks ago, fast forward a mere twenty years – blink of an eye it seems these days, and one winds up in 1988/1989. Just in time for the ?Second? Summer of Love, which of course was two summers. I went to the Hacienda in Manchester just once, […]A
WorldbyStorm - 13:55 Fri Sep 13, 2019 [Boris] Johnson campaigned for a policy outcome that will probably cause immense damage to the Irish economy, and for the last two years his Brexiter allies have frequently demonised Varadkar as the obstacle to a successful Brexit.A
WorldbyStorm - 12:21 Fri Sep 13, 2019 Led by Tadeusz Mazowiecki this was coalition between Solidarity, the United People’s Party (formerly a ‘satellite’ party of the ruling PZPR) and the centrist Alliance of Democrats. Notably the Cabinet contained members of the PZPR who retained the Ministries of Internal Affairs, National Defence, Foreign Economic Cooperation and Transport.A
WorldbyStorm - 11:43 Fri Sep 13, 2019 Is this extremely clever of Vardakar, to pin a date around which the state will go to the polls? Speaking at the Fine Gael think-in in Cork Mr Varadkar said: ?I have always said that I believed that the next general election should take place in the summer of 2020. ?I think May 2020 is […]A
WorldbyStorm - 08:43 Fri Sep 13, 2019 This is fantastic, a recent take-down by an offshore engineer of the ?Scotland/Northern Ireland Bridge? proposed by Boris Johnson. Let?s just say the engineer is unconvinced that the project is feasible? Why ever not, it only requires a 22 mile long bridge spanning depths of 1,000ft – including the munitions filled Beaufort Dyke – and […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:20 Thu Sep 12, 2019 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]A |
