[It's common knowledge that Jarlath Burns went for the principals job of St Colman's and didn't even get an interview and possibly even more than once.]

If he was Head or Deputy Head in a grammar school he wouldnt have written that article. Big chip on his shoulder in my opinion.

I think this is where the jealousy is coming from.  It's common knowledge that Jarlath Burns went for the principals job of St Colman's and didn't even get an interview and possibly even more than once.  I'd say it would be a different story coming from him if he was sitting as headmaster of St Colman's in the "beautiful college at the end of a sweeping avenue".

What the actual f**k?!

Dirty bastards in the gym that don't have a towel with them to wipe down the machines when they're finished dripping over them.  Shouldn't be allowed in.

The fact that you can't look at look at any soccer thread without wading through shit of "wuming". 
It's the same cocks on every thread.  Borrrinnngggggg.

Kenny should sigh messi. Great at the woodwork.

This is just so dumb. Like dumber than the usual efforts.

It's not a dumb as the people who keep rising to him.


Fair play to chelsea but sky sports would sicken your hole - greatest night ever in the champions league, really?

Before I seen the video I thought they were pulled out by the hair or something, don't see what the big fuss is.

No sympathy here, don't understand why anyone would have sympathy.
The banks didn't create the mess by themselves. 

Drogba is such a p***k.

The aren't finished with it yet, the MLAs in Stormont are having a 2 hr debate about it this morning. I can just imagine them sitting with a Titanic colouring in book.

A 2hr debate about what exactly?

At least he has the decency to wait until he gets a touch before going down, unlike some.

I am going to Titanic - The Musical in the Opera House. Just about to open a bottle of wine to prepare myself.

I'd have a second if I was you!

The Titanic was built for JP Morgan - the Bill Gates of his day - after H&W brought him to Belfast. There was not another shipyard in the world capable of building so large a ship and even then H&W had to build the world's biggest dry-dock for the purpose.

I can understand why H&W would be an attraction, the place where the titanic was built etc but I'm always a bit confused about what exactly we're suppose to be celebrating, is that it then?
Considering the shipyard's history I wouldn't be crowing too much. 

I'm fairly interested in it but then I'm fairly interested in the stories around any of those type disasters. I can't stand the whole celebration theme though and this idea we should be proud of it, why exactly? It makes me cringe.

I only caught bits of that other thread about the museum - what was the conclusion, is it worth going to it?

I can't decide if he's an awful p***k or if there's seriously something wrong with him - and it's not just that interview, it's nearly them all!

KK that sounds like my life. The grazing in the evenings is a killer. A cup of tea and a couple of bars of chocolate wouldnt be unusual. Crisps are a killer too and the missus always has spuds, pasata or rice on the menu as its what the wanes eat. Dont want to get home late from wprk and start making something separate so will have to cut down rather than cut out. One thing I would advise anyone to do is reduce portion sizes at meal times. I horse food into me at a rate of knots and stop when Im bursting. Not good!

You're not me by any chance? I gave up bread and all sweet stuff over Lent but have been on an eat fest since Sunday. Have only lost a couple of pounds even though I go to circuit training twice a week. It's a killer and really disheartening

I was the same and I'd bet my life portion sizes is the problem. 

My weight has been up and down by stones in the last five years, would go on a tear and get a load off but slip back in to the bad habits of raiding the fridge at 10pm, or eating crisps and chocolate etc etc and back on it would go.
About 18 months ago I started again and have lost 3-4 stone in about 12 months and for the first time in my life I have managed to keep it off.

I completely changed my lifestyle - it's an old cliche but there's no point in dieting, cutting out white bread, spuds (I've never understood what's so bad about spuds) or any of that shit, you have to change and I went at it with an attitude that I was going to stick to this for the rest of my life so I have to be realistic. 

The first thing you should do is start an account with myfitnesspal.com - it's excellent. I can't recommend it enough!
Log what you're eating for a week and you'll be shocked at the amount of calories you're putting away not just for the shite you're eating but also the portions of normal/healthy food. (Change in portion size was a big factor in my weight loss).

I'll tell you what I done:
I decided for six months (or so) there would be no takeaways, absolutely no sweet stuff, crisps or chocolate and then we'd I've weight off I'd re enter them in to my diet in a controlled manner!! because I know I'm not going to go through life without ever eating those things again.

Mornings & lunch:
Normally would have been cornflakes/rice krispies - swapped those for Chocolate Weetabix, which is  surprisingly healthy and filling for something with chocolate in it and the fix of chocolate helped! and maybe a banana or some piece of fruit then I'd take bananas, apples, cereal bars (alpen light bars are quite tasty or Weetabix bars are low calorie and filling) or yogurts or some of that type of stuff with me to work if I got hungry.
I cut down from eating two sandwiches at work with maybe crisps and chocolate during the day to eating one with some of that healthier stuff.
At first I was constantly starving, then a few months I was ok, then about 8 months in was noticing I wasn't eating the fruit in the morning, I wasn't eating the yogurts or anything extra - the Weetabix in the morning and the Sandwich at work with a piece of fruit or one of those weetabix bars (which I've grown to love) was doing me grand! It's the same now. 

Dinners:
Huge factor for me was that I ate two portions of whatever meat/chicken type thing was involved with the dinner and I ate f**k all vegetables. So it would be two chicken breasts, two bits of fish etc. I stopped that, it's now 1 of anything and I bulk up the plate on vegetables. Thinking about it I never really cut down on the spuds but I would never have been one of these people that would sit down to six - I'd always eat about two.
At the beginning it killed me!!! Jeeze there was evenings when I'd eat the dinner and still felt like I'd ate nothing but I'd allow for a snack before bedtime and when I'd finish the dinner I'd think "ok 3 hours till snack time".
Snack time would normally consist of a a bag of those snack a jacks and some sort of cereal bar and I could go off to bed happy.
Again, about 8 months in I was finding I wasn't hungry after the dinner and didn't bother with anything before bed. Same now. 

Exercise wise, I'd mainly walk (The running bores me) and I bought a set of weights for home which are great. 
I did reintroduce takeways and all that - Friday night is generally takeaway night. (It's down to 1 a week from what would have been maybe 3 times a week)
I never went back to eating all the sweet stuff I was because I rarely think about it now! Sometimes I'll feel like a packet of crisips so I'll take them or something but I can't say I've had to control them as I rarely think about it. I was amazed at how much of that overeating was just pure habit and when you get out of the habit you don't think about it.

Before this turns in to my life story! I'll sum it up - be realistic, don't suddenly cut everything out because if you're going hungry you won't feel well and you won't stick to it.  Before you change anything to your diet say to yourself "am I going to do this for the rest of my life" and if the answer is no! then don't do it.

Amen!

If i'm totally honest, as long as I can cover the basics of living every month I don't really care about all the other stuff. As long as mortgage, food, daily running expenses are covered and my peano works. I'm happy.

It's this attitude that is largely responsible for the mess the country is in. 
Me me me. I'm alright Jack, the hell with the rest of you.

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
