At club level, we always fulfilled a fixture, no matter what.
We even won the odd game where an old veteran was pressed into action.

I hope he tries to run for President and embarrasses himself in the process.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on March 20, 2025, 09:02:30 AMIs anyone getting tired of social media (lol in general) when deaths pop up on some sites and the whackos come on with the its strange we are having so many unexplained deaths, they must have taken the vaccine!!

Cause no one died before covid

Eddie seemed like a great character
True dat. Was also sudden deaths among young people before Covid.. it happens sadly. Conspiracy theorists know something the rest of us don't #nutjobs
If there was no Covid, the conspiracy theorists would be blaming 5G signals for any death.

Quote from: armaghniac on March 20, 2025, 03:34:41 PMThe latest Ukraine strike on the Engels airbase looks like a significant blow. Apparently the Russians use this base for planes with air launched missiles. A new consignment of missiles arrived and before they could be used against Ukrainian schools and hospitals the Ukrainian drones arrived and blew the whole lot up. There were 5 aircraft there, it is not hard to imagine shrapnel damage to them too.
This could reflect US intelligence or perhaps the Ukrainians have a spy living in an apartment nearby.
It sounds like Ukraine have regularly been trying to hit it. Maybe it's pot luck which drones or missiles elude the defence systems.

Any tips for Day 2? I was told that Solness at 10/1 in the Queen Mother was worth a look.

Can Zelensky make a deal about the natural resources and give a chunk to the Americans...then in a few years time, with Trump gone, Ukraine renege on the deal and kick out the Americans?
America reneged on the Budapest agreement about protecting Ukraine in return for handing over nukes.

Quote from: Snapchap on January 22, 2025, 03:13:34 PMI see 'Blue' Hugh O'Connell, the biggest FG cheerleader in Irish media for the last number of years, has, in news which will come as a surprise to nobody who has been paying attention to how the things work in such circles, gone and landed himself a job as Press Secretary for Simon Harris.

One big cosy cartel.
If Sinn Fein got into power, they'd be hiring Aoife Moore and half the staff of An Phoblacht.
There's no big mystery to it.

Rule 42 looks like a token rule at this point.
So long as someone comes waving money, they'll let them in.

Quote from: Don Cockburn on January 21, 2025, 12:13:52 PMIs this not in breach of Rule 42?

First post "Derry GAA were given permission at Saturday's Central Council"
Rule 42 is now meaningless when it can be overridden so easily.

It's not just celebs who are affected, poor people are being hit too.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has lost 2 of her 3 mansions in wildfires.
