Forgot about it, any idea when its repeated?

If only all your colleagues were like this........

Great news, there will be another scramble for tickets no doubt. There would need to be two competitive teams though, no more Miami's please......

Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.

has Nolan not already played for England?

no, he's qaulified for ireland but was holdng out for an england call

He will be waiting a while........

What is the additional costs to use gps or the net or does it come off your monthly allowances?

GPS is free but is hard on the battery,on my tariff i get 1MB of internet usage free per month (they reckon its about 40 pages if your phone is 3G) or i can pay £7.50 a month for unlimited use.

[he had a meeting with Sainsburys and they agreed to keep using the Irish signage, for how long they do so is another question.]

Agreed Guillem2, the last major independant retailer in the Six counties - now gone!

I'm sure Longs in Derry, Moores in Coleraine, Hendersons (who own Spar, Vivo and VG), J&J (aka Mace), Costcutters and a load more I don't know off might differ. Never seen the attraction of Curley's supermarket - you were never exactly spoilt for choice in it.

Longs are on a downturn, they sold up their shop in Strabane last year, know nothing about Moores in Coleraine as for Hendersons their a supplier, and the shops they run/supply are all small to medium sized (and not exactly cheap or reasonably priced!
Curley's always was competative against the big multinationals and I never thought it was dirty!

As for someone elses comments about millbags running round hitting their kids, that has nothing to do with the supermarket - more to do with the area and the people using the place!

All said and done the man is a businessman and fair dues to him for making a profit (thats what it's all about), he had a meeting with Sainsburys and they agreed to keep using the Irish signage, for how long they do so is another question.

It was probably a deal breaker.........

I thought it was A4SA

Well A4SA, O Neill & Wesaysanchez are one and the same.

I have heard Keegan has resigned from Newcastle and is taking the Irish job.....

I didn't realise Owen and Keegan had a history

The "boy wonder" could not give two sh*ts about playing for Newcastle, he sees them merely as somewhere for keeping him fit to play for England.

Cheers Amallon, have you ever used any of the updates from the Nokia site? i was gonna do it the other day but dont want to balls the whole thing up....

they'll get a few results against shite teams then when it comes to the crunch keegan will crack AGAIN and walk away. Newcastle arent a big club, they came close to the premiership only once and keegan cracked up at the end of the season. sure they have a big fan base, but i would say thats largely down to it being a one club city. imagine only one club in manchester or liverpool, of course you'd get a full house every week! even if you were playing that crap at st jame's week in week out!

Yes but Manchester and Liverpool are bigger cities.  There's about 1/4 million people in Newcastle which is less than Belfast, so to draw 50,000 mainly from the city and surrounding areas every second week is some going.

Keegan does have a tendency to walk away because he's the sort of manager who needs to be loved by the fans, if he feels like he's losing that he can't seem to hack it.  I hope he does well though, have always liked him and he'll get Newcastle playing entertaining football since they have a few exciting players there already.

It will all end in tears for the emotional Geordies, the Newcastle fans once again congregated outside St James Park to hail King Kevin, will they ever learn? Shearer will probably come in as a number two, results will go badly, the especially fickle Toon Army will call for Keegans head, he will be undermined by Shearer & will walk away leaving the way clear for big Al........

[I know Curley personally and I must admit, I am disgusted with his decision. No matter how it is dressed up, it is bad for West Belfast]

I know Curley personally and I must admit, I am disgusted with his decision.  No matter how it is dressed up, it is bad for West Belfast.  Curley always made a few bob, now, what will happen the next time there is a downturn in profits noone knows, not even owners of Sainsbury's.  Kennedy had always promised he wouldn't sell out and he has.  I hope he is getting plenty of rent money from Sainsburys

Surely due to your close relationship with Curley he should be consulting you on multi million pound business deals, how is it bad for West Belfast? More choice is bad? A better standard of produce is bad?

kevin keegan has resigned from newcastle united after blowing his top when it started raining during tonights match against stoke, topless overweight grown men were seen wailing outside st james park, keegan would only say " the met office have fucked it up again,i didnt bring an umbrella on their say so " more to follow

Have to agree Donagh, have never been in it more than a couple of times, the hygiene wasnt its strongest point. The only winner, other than the Kennedys, will be the consumer, Asda, Lidl and Sainsburys within a stones throw of each other. Alas i believe the current staff are being kept on so the unique interaction between customer and staff will hopefully remain......(Customer) - "Could you possibly tell me where i may find the tinned fruit?" (Staff member) "How the f*ck should i know"......or words to that effect.
