Quote from: 5times5times on February 21, 2024, 12:59:11 PMPeople who want the Ulster final to remain in Clones need their heads examined.

Town = dump
Ground = dump
Roads = crap

No matter what happens casement, there shouldn't ever be a final in Clones again. What a complete kip of a place.

Dark ages stuff here. Imagine not wanting a top class stadium in the country's second biggest city. Corrigan is there for the smaller games and crowds. Though I'm sure an agreement can be made to hold the county finals there in a 90% empty stadium like it always did in the past.

Quote from: Jeepers Creepers on February 17, 2024, 09:59:09 PMThe Sapranos. End of. Anyone who disagrees should be sin binned from Gaaboard for bad behaviour.

If we are excluding BOB as it's a mini series then I have to say Gomorrah is my favourite!

Quote from: gallsman on February 17, 2024, 11:50:48 AMMasters of the Air is outstanding and you're all dopes.


It's very good but suffers from always being compared to Band of Brothers. And as the lads have said, BOB is the greatest show ever made. One of the best things about BOB for me was the interviews with the real life characters at the start of each episode. 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war.....' 😢😢

It's really, really, really not.

Should have said in my opinion. I'd near put Gomorrah next. Then the likes of The Wire and Sopranos up there too. With BOB I just think it has amazing battle scenes, the actors, the storylines and the fact that the actual men who fought are part of it. It's sheer brilliance.

Quote from: JimStynes on February 07, 2024, 10:41:40 PMBooked New York marathon for November! Anyone ever done it?
Did you get in through a ballot or go down the route of the sports tours?


Running for a charity called 'Tiny Life'. It's a charity that helped me a lot in the past so time to repay them. It'll cost me a fortune but sure it's a once in a life time type thing for me. If anyone wants to sponsor a few quid then I will fire the link up. I have no shame lol

I am not really worried about a time or anything and I know it's a very tough and hilly marathon so I will be happy just finishing. I need to get a coach or someone to train with to keep me right and injury free. I have no clue how to structure the year from now to start of November. It's too early to train for the marathon so I might try focus on a few half marathons first.

Quote from: thegladiator on January 15, 2024, 08:20:25 PMCouldn't agree more MR2. It's just a false reading on where clubs are at by restructuring leagues etc. Every team is cyclical and  if you are lucky you can ride the bumps and keep at the higher level. This is just a nonsense restructure  and we will be back having another one to sort of out the mess that is coming this season, if not for next season-definitely  for the one after.

No one came to rescue Aghagallon when they were relegated controversially to division 3 not too long ago. This restructuring craic has went on for years when certain clubs have someone on the committee.

Quote from: David McKeown on January 14, 2024, 10:30:48 PMThere's limits on how much businesses can take in cash before they have to refer the amount for money laundering regulations.  The figure depends on the business but for solicitors offices its 1,000 i think its 5k for car sales but might be wrong
The wife got about 2 grand in cash out a while ago to pay a tiler or something and she got quizzed in Santander as to what it was being used for. Surely you can take your own cash out and do what you want with it.
Exactly. f**king disgraceful.
why is it, cash payments are tax avoidance
pay the tiler by cheque or transfer
 

I don't think I have ever written a cheque apart from a few times in work. Do people still have cheque books?

Quote from: nrico2006 on January 13, 2024, 01:10:34 PMDoesn't look to hard for the boys I see floating about Waringstown, living in mansions with multiple luxury cars.

Will see how long that lasts! Once the inevitable fall out happens and they start killing each other.
