Baby Reindeer on Netflix is very good.

9 weeks into marathon training, slight niggle on outside of knee for about a week. Went for long run yesterday and it had to be cut short as knee became too sore and swelled up and very sore after it.  Quick google of symptoms would have me believe I have IT band syndrome, with a 6 week recovery time,  physio tomorrow night,  but just wondering does anyone have any experience of this and will it take long to shift it?

Get your legs rubbed out every week, some strengthening work, shorten your stride, good pair of trainers and run 80% of your runs slow.

Golf memberships have been a waste of money

Lurgan closed flat out atm

Local links courses are fine.

The good ones are usually a fortune to play though.

Defo on the PEDs for that!

What about the other lads? Are they still in with a chance of getting signed!

Airport park in Dublin over £200 for a week. Ridiculous

Getting the bus for £36 return for 2 people.

That is the short term I presume?

I always park in the short term and have done before they offered as a prebook option, especially when I was expensing for work. You not being extorted, you are paying for a premium parking spot right at the door of the terminals and it's always been that expensive (you get a discount for pre-booking now). The problems are since quick park shut there is a shortage of long term spots (the blue is a pain in the bollox) and more cost effective options.

The bus is great value and drops you right at the terminals. If you have close by, not sure why you'd drive to the airport tbh.

The other options were a 15min transfer from the blue long term car park for £130 and another shorter one for £108. Parked in the red car park a few years ago and it's more than doubled in price. I'm only 10/15 min from the bus route so you're right, it's a better option to just get the bus.

Absolutely terrible. Did he play senior football?

Just reading some of the comments on social media. It's absolutely terrible and all too common. A fit young fella with a so much to look forward to in life.

God help that family and his friends.

To a point but this deal (~13% and no workload agreement) is going to fly over the finishing line without a bother.
I don't think, say, 4% and an agreed workload solution would.
Money talks.

The younger teachers are blinded by the money and haven't ever went through the unrealistic inspection show/game/charade or whatever you'd like to call it.

Still undecided. Though, I think all the younger teachers will be blinded by money and vote yes.

Are we voting Yes or No??

Huge pay offer for teachers.

The pay offer equates to a cumulative uplift of 10.4% plus £1,000 on teachers' pay scales over the three-year period of the settlement for 2021, 2022 and 2023.  In addition, the starting salary for teachers will rise to £30,000 from 1 September 2023, representing a 24.3% increase from the current starting salary for teachers in Northern Ireland and bringing the starting point equal to England.

Double it and then we will talk

We have a huge number of players away at the minute so down to the bare bones for the first half of the league at least. Does anyone genuinely care about the league though? I felt the start of the league last year was like having a load of friendly games.

They'd be safer sacking the whole show and start again. Get the army in to teach the children and the teachers!
