@scaling_shields Stay off the drugs chap

met a guy in dublin who makes €480,000 a year standing outside nightclubs making people wait hes not a bouncer doesnt own any of them works for 8 different clubs across the city each one pays him €5,000 a month his entire job is deciding how slowly the line moves asked him why the clubs pay someone just to slow down their own customers "they used to rush people in. then they worked out a fast line is the same as no line. a slow line of 40 people is the best ad the club can run. every person walking past sees it, assumes its worth waiting for, tells their friends" "so what are you optimising" "the queue should sit at around 12% of interior capacity. 40 ish people. sustained. visible from two streets away. thats the sweet spot" "what if the inside is actually dead" he shrugged "i let 2 in. hold 8 outside for 10 minutes. the 8 are the advertising. doesnt matter if the inside is empty. the street doesnt know" "do the people in the line ever figure it out" "the smart ones realise the line doesnt move because its not supposed to move. they leave. the rest stay because theyve already waited 20 minutes and dont want to waste it" "sunk cost" "i just manage the sunk cost" the numbers: - 8 venues - €5,000 per month each - €480,000 a year - 4 nights a week, 9pm to 2am - one clipboard - zero marketing budget he finished his pint and said the thing i think about every time i see a queue now "the people in the line arent waiting to get in. they are the ad. the clubs just pay me to keep it the right length" the queue isnt waiting for something worth it it IS the worth it human billboard he just keeps it lit

@dickieevans1 Good shout Richard..lovely drift in the market to..nice one.

Exciting three days ahead at Aintree. My Nap Of The Day tomorrow 17.15 Emerald Quest 12/1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Two runs so far for this mare who looks very useful indeed. Strong type who won very easily last time out and should have much more to come. No reason this mare cannot continue the progress from the front massive chance.

@CahairOKane1 @neil_loughran @pmcconville77 No Shane McGuigan 🤔

My final XV. The only two players me, @neil_loughran and @pmcconville77 all chose were Sam Callinan and Sean Bugler. Make what you will of Paul’s decision to leave Clifford out 👀🫨

Ronan Burns is, for me, the best shot-stopper Gaelic football has had since David Clarke. Picked our best current XVs in Gaelic football for today’s podcast - one player per county. Have a go and drop your teams below. Full show: youtu.be/KFHr1DvpHiA?si…

@LiamBeefySmith Some statement that

Some fighter this kid. Putting it out there, I think he beats Usyk

@GreenwayPlease @chrisadonnelly Cars and vans are not flying about recklessly in the city centre.

@Semps89 @chrisadonnelly Why do we never talk about motorised transport (cars, illegal parking, etc) as being a 'scourge'? People never use this language when discussing cars and vans.

6 masked up lads on 4 e-scooters heading down the Cliftonville Road. A fatality waiting to happen. Shocking parenting failure, but we also need strong & pro-active policing to address this issue.
