The one & only also the home of the ballad 'The One Sided Town Of Loughglynn'. Btw is Castlecaulfield still so called?

Charlestown used to be called Newtown-Dillon, but was renamed after Charles Strickland, an agent of Lord Dillon.

The area was known as Dillontown before the town was established.

That Lord Dillon must have owned some size of an estate, was not his home in Ireland what was once Loughglynn Convent. Local folklore has it that the morter for the estate walls was mixed with the blood of the famine dead

Any of you golf heads think mine and I know many other peoples favourite Miguel Angel has any chance?

I know your cousin's cousin. I'm still waiting to read both of yours cousins first novel.

Dream final still on so

Chelsea could have a bit more to say about that if they can continue to show the form they have displayed so far this evening.

I don't think Barca will necessarily have it all their own away, but not sure Chelsea have shown any form this evening to be honest. They've been playing against 10 men for over half the game and not created too many chances. Comparing the number of times they have given the ball away compared to the way Barcelona controlled things last night it would be one of the biggest upsets in a long time if they were to go through, particularly over two legs.

Now that you mention it.

Connemara ponyess?

Does anyone know what channels the matches are on Saturday night? PP is saying three of them are on tv but the throw-in time is the same for all three.

Has anyone seen "Bound For Glory" tonight MGM HD 9.00pm? Double Oscar winning Biopic of the life of Woody Guthrie starring David Carradine. I was wondering if it is worth the two & half hours?

England's Greatest Foe

Who, Colin Doyle? I've just voted for the Big Fella.

[game v Barce/ AC]

Strange decision to have Chelsea's FA Cup semi final on the Sunday as opposed to the Saturday. If, and it's an if, Chelsea beat Benfica their game v Barce/ AC will be played the following Wednesday. Surely the FA would be looking to give their representatives as good a chance as possible.

Don't understand why the Liverpool semi couldn't of been on the Sunday, with Chelsea v Spurs/ Bolton on the Sat evening.


On another point, I remember the press, and a fair few on here slagging Mourinho for his complaints re medical and ambulance facilities at Reading a few years ago. Isn't it lucky that José's 'lies' helped ensure Muamba has a fighting chance?

Don't both these teams normally play their league games on a Sunday?

RIP

In the same position ourselves. So far have only looked at the Sharan and Touran with one a little too big and the other feels very cramped. Need something to take three child seats comfortably and economical for frequent long runs as well as around town. Parking sensors are probably a must considering wife's less that perfect track record. I like the look of the Zafira, anyone tried one of these?

I had a look at a Zafira, and you can't get the 3 seats across the middle row.  You would need to use one of the back seats, and then that leaves you with bugger all boot space, plus you have the scary issue (for me anyway) of having a child literally sitting against the back window.

I had a Zafira on hire some time ago & I wouldn't say it could carry four people comfortably never mind seven. Don't go near one.

Got to post this before I head for hq. Good luck to local lad Matthew Macklin in Madison Square Garden tonight. he's got plenty of support from Birmingham & Roscommon. Any of you boxing heads reckon he's worth having a few pound on. 

[What about The Virginian?]

I'd get rid of the analysis completely. Sure you were watching the game yourself.

I'd fill the half time break with the best bits from Bonanza or The High Chaparral.

Exactly. Analysis me arse.

What about The Virginian?

Hardy wtf? Are you for Drury or McClure?
