@Jack52127243 In 2008, it peaked around €1.40-€1.45 per litre, which is around €1.80 today adjusted for inflation. The main differences are VAT has gone from 21% to 23% and the addition of the carbon tax.

So in 2008, a barrel of oil cost $147.50 and a liter of Diesel cost €1.15 in Ireland how on earth are we paying €2.30 now when a barrel of oil costs around $100?🤔�

Will never, ever, understand a manager who doesn’t practice penalties leading up to a knockout game because it “doesn’t replicate the real thing”. So many factors to work on, not even to mention Azaz and Browne lacked basic technique in their penalties.

@ClaireEire131 Ah c’mon now, do you want their PPS and Eircodes too? You think there’s a minimum of 10,000 Au Pairs in Ireland, but not working for Irish families? What is your counter claim then? Where are these people working?

@featherhead7 Show me a family thqt does what you’re saying , it doesn’t happen . You’ll be showing me figures straight out of the play book how to lie with stats next .

I find it hard to believe that a doctor would oblivious to the fact that we have a minimum wage in this country. €200 a week. Disgraceful.

@RobCarryBray To answer your question, it is estimated there are around 10-20k au pairs working in ireland, made up significantly by Brazilians (South America) and Mexicans (North America). Indeed, a survey in 2015 (admittedly a significant time ago) stated 48% alone were Brazilians.

@featherhead7 Hundreds of Americans? Really? Where did you find that information?

@ClaireEire131 The term "pocket money" here is a specific legal classification used in the EU template widely used and accepted in Ireland for Au Pair contracts. It is not the same as pocket money for babysitting. I think you know this though, hence resorting to the pathetic name calling 🙃

@featherhead7 @RobCarryBray Pocket money for a teenager babysitting for family and community is not an au pair ! You fucking Bogey knob head ! Piss off !!!! May aswell be coming out of their own parents pockets .

@ClaireEire131 @RobCarryBray “They’re liars” 🙃

@RobCarryBray @featherhead7 It’s not happening . They’re liars!

@RedardoAutsperg Bahahahahahahahha

@featherhead7 @RobCarryBray You need a dose of red meat and pressups ASAP

@xrpbhoy @RobCarryBray Rob doesn’t know his Americas

@RobCarryBray @featherhead7 CBrazilian, Bolivian and Venezuelan child minders (all of whom are American) are exploited by Irish families all the time…

@ShaneBarrett442 @Aonghus_M The film made out he was “duped” into giving the interview, when it was all pre-arranged with Paul Kimmage. That’s a huge fabrication of the truth to swing things pro-Roy.

@Aonghus_M @JohnDugganSport Course he should have. Either that or bend over and pretend it’s normal to fly to the opposite side of the world for football training without any footballs. Mick upset because one player called out his shite standards.

I truly believed Mick was right in Saipan, but as a human being he let himself down here. No need.

@cmclarnon89 Was he right to go running to the newspapers and bring it up, including that he was going home the previous day and changed his mind? Keane the pundit would be crucifying Keane the player for that. Keep it internal. Going public was a brain dead decision with no benefits.

@JohnDugganSport How the hell was he right in Saipan. The team couldn’t have had a worse preparation and set up. Keane was right to bring that up.

@NewstalkFM A reminder that DCC are the biggest consumer of hotel nights in Dublin, booking over 2 million room nights per annum and using the hotel industry as a short term solution to hiding away the homeless and immigration crises they have made no effort to offer long-term answers to.

Dublin City Council is considering a tourist tax of up to €5 per night per visitor. newstalk.com/news/dublin-ci…

@writtenoff_mufc For the money either would cost and the likely lengthy summer drama, I’d say neither. Need to get business done early. I’d also say both aren’t at the technical level the league will swing towards over the next few years.

If you had to choose one midfielder for United from Newcastle, who would you choose and why?Bruno G or Tonali?

@Gyeff01 Don’t get forget the pointless subplot with the dog that adds half an hour to the film and ends with a random shootout because “merica and all that..

While his acting may have been better, taken as a full package Sinners is a superior film to Marty Supreme because it offers a new fresh approach to seeing reality, meanwhile Marty Supreme offers the same shallow anti-capitalist messages that we're seen a million times already. The brothers in Sinners are capitalists themselves, so it's not just shallow "capitalism BAD!" as we have seen so many times, with the latest iteration being presented in Marty Supreme.

Just watching Marty Supreme and the fact that this was ever an argument is incredible

@AdamCrafton_ That was exactly what I felt at the end. Like “did we learn anything?”

That Louis Theroux documentary: v watchable and jolting but a bit too much ‘look at the dangerous weirdos’ and not enough ‘why are there so many dangerous weirdos and what’s the path out of the dangerous weirdos’ imo.

@felicityb5 @ojaxx2 Haha, exactly! That was so cringe. Imagine the process of getting the interview set up and the likely weeks of emails etc and he then says he “doesn’t know who Theroux is”. Such BS from the start 😆

@ojaxx2 It seemed weird to me that he didn’t know who Louis Theroux was before he agreed to be interviewed. Wouldn’t you look him up first? Or perhaps this is just his any-exposure-is-good-exposure attitude in play.

The manosphere guy is getting slaughtered over on Instagram He’s properly rattled 😂

@LalaLin37 Oh absolutely. Started watching all the old stuff and promos

@featherhead7 @HLTCO Did it get you interested in wrestling by any means ? I love Bret Hart but never read this book.

Don’t know what I expected but 500 replies in a bit over an hour is mad. So many great books I’ve already read and loads I haven’t too. On the same line of thought, which book (not football related) would you recommend? This is great for my future reading lists.

@Scrumpydave66 @HLTCO And again, I’m saying this all respectfully and acknowledge there is no one/right answer. Wide range of factors in play (e.g. removal of standing terraces is also a factor)

@Scrumpydave66 @HLTCO Agreed. But in 25 years, some clubs have expanded their allocations or sold more (I believe Palace being one of such teams). Most teams have crowds of 60+% season tickets. Seems easy to blame the atmosphere on the minority of attendees, no?

Premier League atmospheres across the board are as bad as I can ever remember and it’s because the lifelong, die-hard fans are being pushed aside in favour of a different clientele. Apologies for the elongated nature of this rant, I wanted to get it off my chest.
