Great weekend in Dublin celebrating a great guys birthday.
Was great catching up with Almore and WITS on their home ground.
Happy birthday HT you really are one in a million!
Still beeling this morning and need to vent a wee bit of anger.
Got a phone call from Fr Tom late last night. As he was preparing for 6 0’clock Mass (a Mass for the deaf every Sunday) he went into the Sacristy (which is behind the Altar to mike up and the place was in disarray.
Some fecker had come in during the day and nicked all the radio mike equipment – £5,000 worth! His Vestmenst were strewn around the place but thankfully they hadn’t found the cupboard with the Chalices and Monstrances in it.
Fortunately there was no act of desecration and no lasting damage.
Insurance will cover it but the excess is £1,000 so we will need to do a wee bit of fundraising to raise that for him.
Unbelievable that nothing is sacred any more! Still, it won’t deter him from keeping the Church open every day.
And I had to do the week joke that the deaf widnae have noticed he had no mike on during Mass!

Happy birthday HT! UTLR!

There’s a first for me. I had to google a word from your WOTD.
The meaning is obvious,but is contrareity a word?
Seems so. Too long for countdown though,it would be some conundrum!
Btw,best of luck with your fund-raising to cover the actions of a wee scumbag. Drop me a line sometime.
Happy Birthday HT.

Happy Birthday, HT ( and being a Super Tim, it is difficult to be anything but happy these days ! ).

Good morning CQN, I just came on to express the gratitude of my family and myself for the thoughts, prayers and candles lit for my brother at the weekend. Sadly he passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning, thankfully in a peaceful way with his family at his bedside.
CQN is a special place full of so many genuine, special people.
On a separate topic Happy Birthday to HT one of the special people of this place – have a great day.

Really sorry to hear your sad news , thoughts & prayers with you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HT !
Hope you enjoyed Dublin !
The statistically improbable number of Home Cup games enjoyed by Sevco might just be a coincidence. The fact that no one in the MSSM has ever considered even mentioning it cannot be explained in the same manner.
JJ
ONEMOLLOY – my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Cosycornerbhoy – if HT didn’t get to see the game we would be divorced before we got a chance to marry :-) we did indeed watch it with the Naomh Padraig CSC with Almore and WITS. Great way to finish a fab weekend!
ONEMOLLOY –
Thoughts and prayers are for you and the family

Matthew Lindsay The Herald: Europe’s elite clubs are growing richer – Celtic will be unable to keep up while they remain in Scotland
THE strong financial performance of Celtic last season should show a marked improvement when their next figures are released later this year – even with the hefty salary being paid to new manager Brendan Rodgers and the multi-million pound acquisitions of Scott Sinclair and Kouassi Eboue.
The Parkhead club increased their revenue by 1.8 per cent to £52m during the 2015/16 campaign – which resulted in them once again being named among the world’s 60 richest clubs in the Deloitte Football Money League last week.
The Scottish champions were certainly helped by the £11.5m sale of their Dutch centre-half Virgil van Dijk to Southampton last summer. But they failed for the second successive year to progress beyond the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.
Making it through to the lucrative group stages of Europe’s premier club competition and playing Barcelona, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Manchester City this term will bank Celtic in the region of £30m. If Moussa Dembele is sold, their coffers will swell further still. He is valued at £20m.
Yet, no matter how impressive Celtic’s off-field fortunes are, they will still trail even further behind Europe’s elite than ever before. As the number crunchers at Deloitte proved in their annual analysis of the game, the rich are getting richer and the rest are lagging further and further behind.
“The dominance of clubs from England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain has become more apparent,” their report stated. “This dominance reflects the growing trend of polarisation across much of the football world.
“The revenue ratio between the top earning and bottom earning club in the top 20 in 1997 was 3.2:1. This year it is 4:1. Even the biggest clubs in Europe outside the ‘big five’ leagues struggle to break into our top 20.”
The money league ranks the continent’s clubs on their ability to generate revenue from ticket and corporate hospitality sales, broadcasting rights for domestic leagues and cups as well as European competitions and commercial sources like sponsorship and merchandising.
The €600m barrier was broken for the first team this year – by Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. United regained top spot in the table this year courtesy of an eye-watering revenue of €689m or £595m. Barca, meanwhile, banked €620.2m while Real were just behind their fierce rivals with €620.1m.
United failed to qualify for the Champions League this season. But having to compete in the Europa League isn’t expected to have a significant impact on their earning capacity. Their executive vice chairman Ed Woodward has confirmed: “The club is on target to achieve record revenues in 2017.”
The Old Trafford club’s £476m net debt rightly remains a concern for supporters. Despite making a record operating profit of £68.9m, their debt rose by a whopping 18 per cent as a direct result of Brexit. Their Nou Camp and Bernabeu counterparts are not that much better off with debts of €280m and €234m respectively. Many others in the top 20 of the money league are in even worse predicaments. But the extravagant spending shows little sign of abating.
Celtic’s self-sustaining business model and prudent budgeting remains an example to clubs everywhere.
Their policy of signing promising young foreign players with potential, developing them over a period of time and then selling them on for considerable profits, has proved hugely successful. Dembele and Eboue could be the next assets they cash in on.
But the ever-widening gulf with the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, which is highlighted by the Deloitte Football Money League, will not be bridged by making shrewd signings in the transfer market.
The trend is an alarming one for Celtic as is the appetite for further changes to the Champions League format which still exists in the boardrooms of major clubs in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
But a club which will this year celebrate the 50th anniversary of their European Cup triumph will be powerless to halt it while they remain shackled by the considerable limitations of their domestic league.
ONEMALLOY:
Sincere condolences for your loss.

Very sorry to hear your news.
May he rest in peace.
On a brighter note
Happy birthday to HT. However I can’t for the life of me understand what I nice girl like Minx is doing with a bowsy like you! !!!
Good to meet up yesterday. ..Thanks almore for the heads up
The odds of The Rangers being pulled from the hat 10 consecutive times at home, well I borrowed this from the odds calculator. Any obtuse layman can understand it… right?

Here is my attempt: So denote by PiPi the probability of having 1010 heads in a row in ii tosses. So P10=1/210P10=1/210.
For i=10,…,20i=10,…,20, we can calculate the probability straight forward by saying: Probability that I get 1010 heads row and my heads start at 11 plus probability that I get 1010 heads in a row and I start at 22 plus, and so on. For instance, for i=16i=16 we have 1/210+6/211=0.3906251/210+6/211=0.390625 precisely what you got.
When i>20i>20, then the counting becomes a little more messy, but I think its doable using recursion. Note that Pi+1=Pi+Pi+1=Pi+Probability that my 1010 heads in a row start at i−9i−9 (let me denote this probability QiQi). So you know that PiPi is for the first couple of cases, note that QiQi for i≤20i≤20 is just 1/2111/211 because we need a TT to go on the i−10i−10 position and followed by 1010 heads, however, that does not work for say i=21i=21 because we want more, we want the 1111th position to be a TT, the following to be 10 HHs, and the previouse ones not to be a string of 1010 heads because we are counting the strings whose starting point is at 1212. Thus, Q21=(1/211)(1−P10)Q21=(1/211)(1−P10). Hence, P21=P20+Q21P21=P20+Q21 to exactly what you have.
For P22=P21+Q22P22=P21+Q22 where Q22=(1/211)(1−P11)Q22=(1/211)(1−P11), I just checked and indeed I get the same result.
In general, you can build them recursively, and use Qi=(1/211)(1−Pi−11)Qi=(1/211)(1−Pi−11).
A little more clear (above was me thinking as I typed, so it turned out somewhat messy): You can denote P0,..,P9P0,..,P9 all to be 00, P10=1/210P10=1/210, and Pn=Pn−1+(1/211)(1−Pn−11)Pn=Pn−1+(1/211)(1−Pn−11).
If it wasn’t for Cqn I would probably never crossed paths with either Onemally or HT
Onemalloy take care you and your family in my prayers
HT have a great birthday, no dogging School though :-)
Condolences to onemalloy and his family
ONE MALLOY:
Will pop into St Winin’s on the way to the golf and light a candle for your brother’s soul. RIP.

Sincere condolences to all on your great loss.
Or in the pavement vernacular (according to Chinese gamblers)
E(10H)=+=E(10H|10H)P(10H)+E(10H|9HT)P(9HT)E(10H|8HT)P(8HT)+⋯+E(10H|0HT)P(0HT)211−2=2046
