He can be a bit of a prima donna when things don't go his way

But he just dunked it for an eagle from over 150.

Quote from: marty34 on June 11, 2025, 08:22:03 PMTeenager (13) looking to get phone for first time.

What price per month contract would we be talking about?

Any good deals currently on market - just normal type phon for 'teenagery' stuff.

Hold off as long as you can, seriously. I don't know one parent who is glad they bought their young teen a phone when they did. It's inevitable that they will get one but it turns them into little feckin gremlins who really easily get sucked into the social media spin on how life is supposed to look.

If I had to I would add them to a family plan. Add all the necessary share location features etc...

Was it worth it?

Never heard of any of these cats until the shooting. Yes, we kill 'em in Nevada - and it would seem this would be an open and shut DP case.

Quote from: AustinPowers on June 09, 2025, 02:35:35 PMI thought a Blur  top 3 would  have had more contributions given the  age demographics on the board

Next 3 will give a good idea of the age demo and psychographics of the board, and whether we're populated by melancholy shoegazing miserabalists, or scuffy lads who liked to drink big durty pints of black porter in O'Donaghues, or even scruffier long haired denim clad air guitarists with repetitive wrist syndrome. Bring it on, Austin.

Shite,  I would have considered myself cultured, deep and philosophical- instead, I'm a shoegazing miserabalist!!  The only reason the hair is longish is to disguise from the blank area so long as I stay standing!!
And as for OCS, while it's not a hill I'd be willing to die on, it's a slightly inclined area I'd be willing to half-heartedly defend for maybe 4 songs, So low making it worthwhile!!

Go slow, I'm listenin

Rory not in with a chance next week on this week's showing in Canada. 9 over for the day, new driver all over the map. Looks thoroughly disinterested.

By all accounts Oakmount has rough as deep and sticky as has been seen before for a US open. If he doesn't figure out the fairway finder it's gonna be a quick trip for him.

Lowry well in contention in Canada this week, hopefully he gets over the line on one of these near misses. Saturday seems to be setting him back in recent weeks.

It was pushing to the absurd for a while now but last night was borderline comical. WTF.

Ah yeah, agreed. Rory hits shots that Scottie (I think) can't or doesn't hit. But he also hits shots that Scottie just doesn't hit. I like Scheffler but he's borderline Steve Davis, it's just a boring watch.

Curious to see what Rory has to say about a lot of things next time he talks to the media. The driver head, the poor performance at the PGA, and skipping out on the Memorial.

Quote from: gallsman on June 02, 2025, 09:05:51 AMSince the Masters, Scheffler has gone T8, 1, 1 T4, 1, including the PGA and the Memorial.

Rory might have been in good form and completed his Slam, but Scheffler is still comfortably the best in the world right now. Relentless.

Think that's key - Rory clearly not in good form. Even in decent form he'd have run at one of those tournaments with Scheffler. I am curious what we are going to see the rest of the year from Rory. He's too long in the tooth to still be celebrating the masters win. Something has to be afoot, particularly strange for him to have missed the memorial.

Song 2 is fuckin terrible which I expect is why it's popular in the states.

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on May 23, 2025, 09:51:09 PMOCS should be on the list. Indeed, what odds is it? We had Enya ffs, and we moved on.

Anyway, Dire Straits.
If we are happy to put any oul shite on then have at it. I'd have Pulp on before OCS.

You're fuckin still at it TB! Although to be fair Pulp have spanned 6 decades now, which is wildwood... I'll take the riverboat before Wobbler complains about folks who like music

Couple bangers in here:

Nena - 99 Luftballons

Peter Schilling - Major Tom

Tommy Tutone - 867-5309/Jenny

Rusted Root - Send me on my way

What about everyone's favourite Neighbour - Natalie Imbruglia?

Feeling we are the same age, roughly. Hunting High and Low was one of my favourite cassettes as a kid. Would buy meters of leather in White's in Omagh to get the leather bracelet look going.
