Still going well here lads and lassies.

I'd say I'm back to about 90% normal...just the occasional excessive bathroom trips over a few hours...down to about one a month now.

Will have full-body CT scan in July...fully 4 years from my surgery now, so another colonoscopy in July of 2025 with no findings will see me discharged as a cancer patient and go back into the "general population" of regular screening.

Haven't resumed any alcohol yet, and I'm thinking I won't bother...no inclination at all to have a pint.

Enjoying life is my top priority now...no need for alcohol or engaging in foolish discussions in person or on any social media.  Hoping to make a few trips later this year and early next year to scope out some semi-retirement locations (work online) for at least part of the year. Portugal looking good so far...

Apologies if mentioned before

But TSG said  this  was the first ever Munster football final to be  played in Ennis?

Is that true ?

Yes. Anytime Clare played Kerry or Cork in Munster final usually played in the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

Incorrect...this was the third time Ennis hosted a Munster Football Final.  Mind you, the previous 2 were in 1912 and 1919.  Somebody needs to tell these people that Wiki is your friend when you are about to spout stats and so on.

Only the minor football left to be decided in Munster...Kerry/Tipp and Cork/Clare in semi-finals this week and the final next week.

Doesn't make any sense for the provincial winners to have to play away against provincial losing finalists in a group.

Does that include your own Kerry
Eire og or Kerry for Sams or whatever 10 aliases you are now using
You idiot.

If the odds are to be believed the Irish song "Doomsday Blue" by Bambie Thug will sail into the final as is currently 5th to win it out.

1st and 2nd favourties to win and both better songs than the Irish one IMO.

The downfall of Casemiro is getting sad to watch at this stage. He's there for another 2 years on 350k a week so he'll probably feel alright about it.

Real Madrid do not sell key players when they are still good

Was hoping Saudi would come in for him in the summer. Think he'd be out of his depth there at the minute.
