Read a bit about these before. Makes sense when you hear the music etc from that part of canada. When i heard about the irish slaves descendants, the ‘red legs’ who still have a presence in the carribean i was shocked.

Superbad is genius no matter how many times you’ve seen it

You need a 75mm head lap on clay roof tiles in the uk. That is the standard. All battens have to conform to bs5534.

whose checking anyway pal?

Building control. No messing here

Think so, yes. All the clique were there,

“The Perfect Storm” mentions villages like this.

Is it standard or legislative? A lot of those brit standards are not legislative…good standards and will damage your p&l but not actually necessary…

P&l?

p&l sorry obviously you can’t understand small caps although it means the same P&L… Profit and Loss… Will damage the P&L… cost money, which will reduce profit …

this is not mickland pal, no standards, no warranty, no warranty no sale, no sale no party

They have standards with fuckin everything. Mostly to make money somewhere, insurance etc. HVAC the most, but even the likes of commercial properties getting pressurised by insurance to have 5 year electrical fixed testing because of standards but it’s not legislative. You could have a full PPM on your panel and all equipment which is far better than one test every five years but the muppets just regurgitate that it’s a standard and demand it.

As i said in last post, there’s nothing wrong with standards but when it’s only for one reason money making then it gets annoying!

Although its not as annoying as companies here using brit consultants and they waffle about standards which aren’t even Irish standards…

Cowboy alert

In the car yesterday and ended up listening to that history show on Newstalk - had a piece about 1916 Rising -

for the first two days of the Rising the soldiers who fought the Rebels were almost exclusively Irish born soldiers

And members of the Irish rugby team.

they had Neil Richardson on who wrote A Coward if I Return a Hero if I Fall

they then had Philip Meyer on about the book he wrote “The Son” - story of the American West spread over five generations

Roth Meyer Meyer was talking about the myths of the Old West and the Comanche tribe amongst other things - how they were a warrior tribe who had conquered North America which was fully populated by about 10m people when the Anglo settlers arrived

He was very interesting but I arrived at my destination and left it there. Must dig out the pod cast and buy the book.

I read The Son a couple of weeks ago. Very decent read.

A super show.

David Walsh, of Lance Armstrong fame, started his career as a journalist with the Leitrim Observer.

just like the great Colin Regan of leitrim dashing wing back fame …
