re: Irish Fuel Protest

Posted by tccdc on 4/11/26 at 12:03 pm to
I think it was said that evrey liter of gas sold, 50 to 60% goes to the Irish govt.

2.27 for a liter of gas...or about $8.50 a gallon
That place is going to be crazy....Buffalo fans are terrific

quote:


UNC: 21x F4, 6 titles (28.6%)
UCLA: 19x F4, 11 titles (57.9%)
Duke: 18x F4, 5 titles (27.8%)
UK: 17x F4, 8 titles (47.1%)
KU: 16x F4, 4 titles (25%)
Ohio St: 11x F4, 1 titles (0.9%)
Louisiville: 10x F4, 3 titles (30%)
Michigan St: 10x F4, 2 titles (20%)
IU: 8x F4, 5 titles (62.5%)
Michigan: 8x F4, 1 title (12.5%)
UConn: 7x F4, 6 titles (85.7%)
Villanova: 7x F4, 3 titles (42.9%)
Houston: 7x F4, 0 titles


What is amazing is that only UCLA and Kentucky have more titles than them...and UConn are tied with UNC at six. If they somehow win, they will be 3rd all-time. It's hard to believe, but more titles than Duke, Indiana, Kansas, etc...

as a Cassidy hater, and Caps fan, glad we were the final nail in the coffin for him

They are slow, but they are showing progress and they have shown themselves to be a professional team.


Im not counting them out or bagging on them. Just feels like they are further behind than I expected.


I'm the opposite, I am actually impressed that they have done this well so far...compared to other teams, they are starting and finishing races And I have heard that Bottas and Perez have been really providing great feedback.

I am not sure they will score a point this year, but it could be much worse in my opinion.


This comes to mind for me
I think everything is comparitive...

Testament - love them, but nowhere near the Big 4 or other "Metal/Thrash" top level bands

Municipal Waste


Opposite end...huge in Europe but realtively unknown here...

Elbow

Biffy Clyro - sell out Wembley and other huge arenas in Eruope, but see them in 300 person to 2000 at most clubs in the US

I know you said within US, but probably for the same price you could do Austria...

The lift tickets and what not is so much cheaper there. Wife and i have done Ischgl, Mayrhofen, Kitzbuhel, etc

cant believe Dixon's crew team messed up that bad...wow
Watched all 4 seasons, and really enjoyed this one.

First, kudos to Jhonny and Tara as I thought they were lost the whole time but only ones who caught on to who was the traitors, but could not persuade.

Was hoping for more out of Steve Colletti, but did enjoy the craziness from Rappaport and Funches.

Rob was an animal in the best way.

Will not spoil other seasons, but think Rob was the best winner over the history.
I am sure young men pretty hungover would hate McDonalds :lol:

Eli Manning over Sammy Baugh :lol:

Big Ben over Roger Staubach :lol:

typical garbage...but got me to respond, so i guess they win :banghead:

I'm not a big history buff so I don't know if staying in Manila longer would be worth it for me. Really just looking to maximize my time beachside. What's the issue with the domestic flights? It does seems I will have to make a transfer after landing in MNL.


Nothing really...we are mainly spoiled here in the US...but when you are in the domestic airports there, you are 50/50 with AC working, so most of the time you drenched by the time you get on board.

And maybe it has improved, but listening for boarding groups is not really listened to, so it is dash for the boarding.

That being said, the stewardesses are all very nice and sweet. The pilots are well trained as most are ex military.

And the planes domestically tend to much much older, so it is a little bit of shock to they system when you see the ashtray in the armrests on some :)

Manila...depends on what you want to do. One or two days to see the sites there. But you can do some great excursions from there such as WW2 you may want to stay longer.

Another vote for Boracay, really enjoyed my time there. Lots of great watersports and relaxation.

Also, I like Cebu and Mactan island, and thought it was just as relaxing (not as great beaches) but much cheaper.

And flying domestically in the Philippines is not the best...but hey, any flight that lands is a great flight :)
