Ok, given you’ve used a cloud pun about the weather, I’ll give you your last word.

Correct, it is maths to say there is a different value. It was the “the numbers are different and therefore this reason because maths” that was the part that didn’t add up. Statistics are not an abstract truth, context is everything and coincidences are common - a 3% drop in one does not infer...

You were furious, you just don’t remember coming around to my house screaming about sampling error and clustering biases. We had to get the guards involved. It was carnage.

I think it was the stubborn “here’s my opinion but it’s maths” bit that has broken @magicbastarder and sent him down a drinking wormhole. Honestly, there’s a lot of wasted anger here when yizzers are all making jokes about octopuses and insisting that they really have tentacles. They’re not...

I think it’s cute.

There were 20,000 less votes in this GE compared to the last one which would be “worth” about 2.6% of the vote in the current election. So trying to make an inference on a 3% change when the sample size changes that much is a stretch. Especially when it comes to a measure like voting behaviour...

It’s not great shakes as far as throwing a drink is concerned.

Deep dive on terminology: The name Britain goes back to Ptolemy, or at least an early form of the word (Pretannia). Initially it referred to the island but then it only referred to Roman occupied territories (England and Wales) and not to Scotland (Caledonia). Previous to Britain, Aristotle...

No wonder it calls it all the “British Isles”. May as well call us “Southern Ireland” instead while they’re at it (again).

Though let’s face it, not a political party but an MI5 of moles would be the most appropriate.

A military junta of moles

Which estate because up by the mint was one of the roughest estates in the area. There was a lad in there who tried to burgle my mate’s house while they were at a funeral and later found fame by pushing a homeless guy under a bus on Dawson St. There’s already a Dundrum Shopping Centre in the...

What - the huge shopping centre in Ireland mostly made up of British brands?

I can’t remember where @Deadmanposting was ranting about the Irish being obsessed with the Brits and their culture but apparently we are at the point where we need inspirational quotes from David Cameron in the toilet.

I think the minimum charge for a debt collector to make a call is €800 so they would be losing a lot of money by sending in a debt collector for €50 of tax.

I didn’t even get as far as customs charges there a few minutes ago. Saw a second hand book dealer advertise a book I’ve been looking for on Instagram. Clicked through, £30 for it but a decent price. Add to cart, it adds £25 for shipping via Royal Mail!

I get what you mean. He’s like a racist taxi driver who loves a hood natter. He can get fucked though.

I was just about to mention that. Fucking hell.

Ugh, gross, this almost humanises her!

That can’t be real?
