General discussion / Re: Ticket sellers....

Quote from: RedHand88 on May 09, 2024, 08:23:59 PMDoes anyone else think its getting ridiculous? We've had our 3rd knock at the door in a week. 5th in a few months. It feels like every club in the country is selling £20 tickets for a raffle at the minute.

Do people buy every ticket that comes to the door? Do they hide under the stairs?

Ticket sellers on here... what's the success rate like?
And you can't say you've no cash in the house anymore as the hoors have card machines now!

Smells Like Teen Spirit
Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Last is an old folk song "In the Pines" most associated with the legendary Huddie Ledbetter, but of much older origin (possibly a murder ballad of Irish or Scots origin in the vein of Rose Connolly). Anyway Kurt makes it his own in the unplugged performance.
That's a great song. The Man Who Sold The World from Unplugged is in several of my playlists.

"The court heard Mohamed claimed to be from Somalia, which he had fled in 2017. He was in direct provision in Italy before being refused asylum in Germany, Italy and France. He travelled to Holland, where he got a false Swedish passport, which he destroyed while travelling to Ireland.

He applied for asylum in Ireland on his arrival in February 2022 and was placed in hotel accommodation in Dublin, where he lived until his arrest. His asylum application has not been decided."

Don't be a racist now Kidder. You don't know what experiences these people have been through  ;)

Quote from: paddyjohn on May 07, 2024, 08:34:33 PMTragic news coming out of the Shane O'Neills club this evening. Thoughts and prayers are with them all.
They'll have been home from NY on a high and then this lands on their doorstep.

Quote from: quit yo jibbajabba on May 04, 2024, 10:56:53 PMSo there we have it, Wilson v Jones. Can't wait 🤓

Weren't those two in Dads Army?

You follow Richard osman too on twitter 😉😉 see some boy disappointed there wasn't a Gilbert OSullivan final 🤓

I don't actually  ;D

The names just rung a bell.  The Gilbert O'Sullivan final  would have been  better though, pun -wise anyway

I hope they don't panic  in the final.  (Did any of those two say that  line ? I've never seen dads army)
That was Jones!

Quote from: LC on May 05, 2024, 07:48:12 AMNo doubt there is a supposed popularity of rugby in terms of attendance compared to big GAA patches however would many attendees yesterday be formally linked to clubs?  Ulster final tickets this year are being distributed solely via clubs, if IRFU adopted this for a big rugby patch they would have a substantial amount left over.
Leinster is a "club"  :-X

Not quite sure how Northampton are still in this. Leinster should be out of sight
Indeed. Saints shouldn't be in a position where a try would put the shits right up Leinster.

Quote from: AustinPowers on May 02, 2024, 03:47:21 PMI would imagine   smart phones and therefore, shorter attention spans , to blame for the  decline in snooker viewers. Netflix as  well
At a superficial level it is boring to the passing observer. I've tried explaining to the missus and teenage kids the skill involved in accurate cueball control, break building, safety play etc. ZERO interest. Same for darts.
