Completely normal (I thought) work colleague posting photos of the weens infront of Moygashel bonfire last night.
They live among us.

But  come the bonfire/marching season, these seemingly  normal  people turn like the wolfman at the sight of a full moon. And all rational  thought goes out the window.

I bought 3 adult tickets and 2 kids tickets off ticketmaster. There's now another kids who wants to go. Having problems buying a single juvenile ticket. Are you allowed to buy a single juvenile ticket or does it have to be bought alongside an adult ticket?

Similar thing happened to  me a few years back. But was able to  buy a single   kids ticket a couple rows in front of ours, so worked out ok. Unless things have changed since  then

House insurance was  roughly the same as last year.

Car insurance was up  a few quid. Not much. But it  had almost doubled  in  2024 from  2023

Any more for The Dubliners?

I can see Michael Murphy going total throwback and wearing a cap!

He'd need a knotted  handkerchief,  with his folliclly-challenged head (you can't  say baldy anymore, apparently).

Is the  train  into Drumcondra an option for Ulster teams? From the likes of Dunboyne/Enfield?

Dunboyne just off the M3.
There's a massive car park at the Station there.
Too awkward for most of ye I'd imagine,  but Maynooth usually has a train every half hour but hard to find parking (unless you have in laws there 😁)

I see

Northside seems to be the worst served  in terms of  transport. South and West  well served with Park&Ride at Luas /train stops. 

Any word on that  Dart extention to Drogheda?

Or the underground thingymajig from the  city to Dublin airport? 

Is the  train  into Drumcondra an option for Ulster teams? From the likes of Dunboyne/Enfield?

How about the airport bus?  Would this be a good  option to avoid  traffic jams  around Drumcondra? And would this provide a  good head start for  the journey home again?

I don't  get  the  public outpouring of grief when  the likes of a royal dies. Thousands of bouquets of flowers. Why?

Why don't they encourage people, instead of buying flowers  that  will just sit there and rot , to donate money to  a charity? Or in the case  of a tragedy, donate  to a fund  that will help the families affected.

Who benefited most from Diana's death? I'm convinced she was taken out by a hitman hired by Interflora.

 

Finally, mystery  solved

Have watched  very little   of these Euros. Didn't recognise any pundit from flicking through the channels 

Is there  anyone of note in the punditry lineup?

Two years ago , a man  fell off a bonfire in Larne, and died.

Last year, Jim Allister stood in parliament  praising the lads in Larne  for building the worlds tallest bonfire

That's what you're  dealing with.

More hate crimes  from  Moygashel in 2023

Does this nonsense  about "treating it as a hate crime" actually mean anything? Is  it just something the PSNI  say just to look like they're doing something?

What was the  outcome of these supposed hate crimes from 2023?  Was anything done? Anybody arrested? Fined? Brought to court?  Is there any way of finding out if ANYTHING was actually done?

Churning out nonsense statements year after year  is just ballix . No wonder we see this  again and again

Too much of a clash to me. One should definitely change.

Both should change  in fairness

Why do counties have  second and third jerseys if they never  actually wear them?

Surely this is an occasion where  a change of  jersey for each team is  needed

Mick Wallace.... Wasnt  he in the Commitments?
