No, Dublin's great! It's like a city on a 24 hour hen night!

It is what it is

It's okay-ish but not great. Very overrated IMO

The only place I've been to where the price of (already expensive) drinks went UP at 11pm!

Hmm, I thought you liked 'user pays' tax.

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
 

Indeed I do

This is not that

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
 

Sure it is. It pays for overtime that you don't want your income tax to pay for. Anyway....

Nope - completely different things

If a bar wants to raise its prices after a certain time then that's there right, but:

Other pubs didn't/don't undertake this practice

By your reaction to my post, I'm guessing that you're from Dublin

Stop being so precious

I've lived in many places over the years - Benoni, Johannesburg, Durban, London, LA, Croydon, Aylesbury, Woldingham, Perth, Sydney - among others. Feel free to critisise/slag off/dump on any of them. I won't get upset or frosty. Promise

Great news for those of us going over in March for the rugby.....

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
 

Ah I see. You don't like user pays when it's you paying.

I'm not from Dublin.

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
 

I know the difference between consumption taxes and profiteering - obviously too complicated for you

Here's the reality of that trip to Dublin - 2 pubs (close to each other). At 11pm, one of them starts charging more for drinks whilst the other keeps its prices the same. Both employee people at (I would imagine) about the same rate. Both were busy as. Both are therefore, probably, making good money. Which one is profiteering?

Nothing wrong with profiteering though - if they can get away with it then party on, that's capitalism and how you spend your money is your issue not mine. I'll only go there once though

You like Dublin. I think it's an okay-ish city that is expensive and somewhat overrated. Everyone's a winner

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
 

At least the pubs were open after 11 - had that been Sydney, they would have been kicking you out at 10:30...

Well, that's it. The UK has bent over and is awaiting reaming ...

My oh my has that coffin-dodging wraith messed things up from the very start. :)

Mention of simultaneous exit conditions & free trade talks after "threatening to leave the restaurant without paying one's share of the bill?" EU says: ain't gonna happen. :)

The EU is calling the shots and that's how it's going to be, plain and simple. And what's 1000000x worse is something else: that's how negotiations will go with the US, China and everyone else with a stronger bargaining position than the UK. And the US will descend on the UK like vultures, ripping us apart for their corporations to do whatever they please in the UK, and we will have absolutely nothing to say about this.

There will be NO negotiations. The US will simply hand the UK the terms of the upcoming free trade agreement and simply give the UK gov't the chance to save face by spreading lies that "after long negotiations we have a great deal for the British people." :)

Threatening or even blackmailing fellow Europeans that security information might be withheld? Absolutely hideous. Who the f wrote that letter? :blink:

And what about Gibraltar, currently the only overseas territory that is part of the EU, which her letter FAILED to mention at all? DISASTER. Seriously people, start talking to Spain instead if you want any real representation. Or go it alone.
