John thinks it's your card that gets skimmed,The guy in the video says they somehow wangle the Paysafe card number off you and then they possibly cancel the job?

Either way why would you give either numbers away without being 100% sure you weren't being scammed.

Beats me.

John m has had multiple theories on this, none of which Hold Water unless your 6 six years old or retarded !

I'm not the best at IT, but I would like to know how this Paysafe involved scam works, as I have been targeted myself in the past.

Both Winners progress to the Semi-finals.

The Leinster final runners-up play the 3rd placed Munster round robin team (Clare).

Dublin Hurlers are still 75/1 with PP, I don't think they will win it but should play well and be worth a decent online partial 'Cash-Out' before they face any Munster team.

Dublin now trading @ 16/1, I don't see anyone but Limerick or Cork knocking them out of this years championship.

The Leinster and Munster hurling finals in 2 weeks time are great fer pride but win or lose all sides progress to the next series, with the winners of the above getting byes in to the semi finals. Only 6 counties remain.

Dublin again put up a 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' Gutsy performance against Kilkenny and beat them on merit, next up fer them is a highly inconsistant Galway fer the Leinster crown in Croke park, before the Real Fun and Games begin !

FG Sean Kyne won the Galway West seat beating the fuel protestor on the 11th count.  Labour transfers got him over the line.

An oldie but a goodie.

Google AI:

The query refers to the famous political anecdote about Labour politician Peter Mandelson (now Lord Mandelson). During a visit to a fish and chip shop in his Hartlepool constituency in the late 1990s, he allegedly mistook a tub of mushy peas for the avocado dip "guacamole."  The story was widely reported as an example of an out-of-touch, metropolitan politician trying to navigate a traditional northern working-class chippie. Though Mandelson denied the specific incident, the legend permanently stuck to him.

Politics is in trouble in the Western world.  Politicians used to have life experience but now they're PPE grads who go straight into party HQ to learn the internal politics.  None of them know the price of bread or ever had an 'overdue letter' from the ESB.  That's why the Right are gaining a foothold - 'normal' politicians are leaving the door open for them to come in with simple answers to complex problems.

Maybe that's why Ennis resonated so well.  He spoke about growing up in his neighbourhood, his family, his kids and wanting to make things better.  SF just opted for the traditional 'we're not FFG' and it backfired on them.

There was a great article in The Irish Times on Sat by Sinead O'Sullivan - Ireland’s politics of strategic ambiguity served us well – until it didn’t (paywall).  Ireland politicians could never give a straight answer to anything but global politics are changing and we (Ireland Inc.) are gonna have to make real decisions with real consequences (e.g. data centres v houses/ESB, America v China, Neutrality v EU military, foreigners and the building industry/hospital docs)
