    DON’T ASSUME YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE!!!

    If you find you are not registered follow the guidelines on the above website…there are a few reasons you might not show up, worst case don’t argue with the IT:

    1. download & print the form & fill in
    2. present yourself at the local Garda station with the form to be verified
    3. On Tuesday bring yourself & signed/stamped form to your local CC office (check opening hours!!) where you can figure out what’s going on and worst case get entered/re-entered to the register.

    here’s hoping SAF has a safe recovery

    goodnight y’all x

      Thanks Martco.
      That link is important and appreciated.

      I have a son who isn’t making me proud so far.
      He has three sisters. Two of them are too young to vote.
      – He says it doesn’t really matter.

      Guess who’s getting no more pocket money, forever?
      – He can download all his Kanye cack off of PirateBay from now on.

      Hope he makes a full recovery, one of those guys you always thought was indestructible.

    Happy Sunny Sunday all. Nothing else to say other than really enjoying the papers, the radio and a pot of tea in my back garden.

      Genuine question. I used to enjoy the Sunday papers.. do you still buy or is it all done on your smart phone/ tablet now? I used to work part time in a Spar shop at weekends during college and I always remember Sundays… dying with a hangover and that Sunday Times newspaper used to arrive and you had to manually insert crap loads of supplements in each paper.. it was hell :) do people still buy 3 or 4 papers and spend the day reading all?

      1. PlumBobSmearPants

        Bitta both. Weekends, we usually go for Guardian/Observer and the IT in print if only because of old habit. That and the news aggregator apps like Flipboard and Apple’s News app on the iPad is how I consume everything else really.

        …I used to love going to the pub on Sunday with an armful of papers, at least 3…sadly, no longer…I don’t buy any Sunday papers and don’t go to the pub because they all seem to have multiple TV screens showing English soccer from opening time to closing…

      Same to you Plum! Can’t beat a pot of tea in the garden in the sun. What are you listening to on the radio? Sunday Miscellany wasn’t great this morning.

      1. PlumBobSmearPants

        From about 9 to 11 it was rte1. Quite enjoyable. Liked the Peter Sheridan Gordon Snell interview on Miriam. Then BBC6 and Radio Paradise for the afternoon. Just back from a nice bike ride now tho. Scone and a pot of tea at the ready.

        1. Lilly

          Can’t handle Miriam’s positivity for some reason, although the Kingsmill survivor a couple of months ago was a great interview. Similar day going on here. Snap with the scone (& coffee) right now after lively spin on the bike, wind in the hair.

            That sounds positively glorious Lilly! Gorgeous day for a cycle.

            I’m more a Blur Note jazz kinda guy on a Sunday morning. But my better half needs her Miriam and Marian fix. It wasn’t the worst today as I could potter about but come 11 got myself prepped and had a somewhat high octane ride thru the hidden parts of the grounds of Carton house. Great jumps and trails there.
