He really picks the stupidest to take the p*ss out of.  Another girl says that all the 1/4 finalist should have another attempt when knocked out, even those that came thru the back door!  ffs

QuoteThat is some good reading there UnderTheBar. Read the composer again.

Aye I know it wasn't Heaney, but it was his Off the Fence stand in.  Same column so doesnt really matter.

btw: Why can't Heaney write his column from holiday?  Taking the p*ss out of a few letter can't take up much time!

What the hell are you talking about boy!!??

Heaney's article is called against the breeze.  Off the fence is the letters page and the responding journalist changes nearly every week!!

Was thinking about this yesterday...

At this stage Meehan, Forde & Clarke would take the FF line, but clarke & meehan can easily be edged out as they have no further part to play.

What about joyce?

Cant see the national league champions being represented anyway!!  :(

When drivers (particularly of lorrys, vans & 4x4s) think is ok to block a street just because they have their hazard lights on!

And when you ask them to move they give u a puzzled look as if to say, "sure i've got my hazard lights on, whats the problem"

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  >:(

And there was me thinking you started a thread called man flu & said u had a dose of man flu, and go on to say that man flu is

"The condition shared by all males wherein a common illness (usually a mild cold) is presented by the patient as life-threatening.

This is also known as 'Fishing for Sympathy' or 'Chronic Exaggeration'"

Then when you are confronted about attending the screen game you say you have the actual flu.

I'm pretty sure colds & the severity of colds affect people in different ways.  I didn't know YOU were a doctor as well as a teacher & mortgage advisor.

p.s. suck it up and get back to work!

Quote1.    man flu

This is also known as 'Fishing for Sympathy' or 'Chronic Exaggeration'.

When the patient is your boyfriend, he will exhibit the standard symptoms (such as an overwhelming desire for compassion) while simultaneously rejecting any and all efforts you make to placate him.
You: Awww, you poor fella.
Him: I'm DYING!
You: (Soothingly) Oh, you're not dying Cy.
Him: (Indignant) I AM! I have Man Flu!
You: Do you need some sympathy?
Him: Yes! But no one understands my pain...
You: I understa-
Him: NO YOU DO NOT!!!

Thre is no real condition called 'man flu' I just have normal flu. Can't eat, aches and pains, fever, hot and cold flushes, chesty cough, runny nose, sore head.

As for going to the match las night Max.. Ask not what your club can do for you!!!

No you don't, if you had the flu you wouldn't be out of bed for a week!  What you have is a heavy cold (or man flu)! It really riles me when someone says they have the flu when obviously they don't!

I was gonna pose the question on the fermanagh thread, about how club fixtures would be affected by reaching the ulster final, before i saw that article.

Certainly in Derry this would not happen!  Win or lose (tho not draw) there was a round of club fixtures on monday night past.  And the next round of the championship runs from Monday 30th June til Sunday 6th July.  That would have been it until the ulster final i think.

There probably wouldn't have been any other club action, not even district competitions because clubs virtually point-blank refuse to play without their county players.

Looks like 'screen will have to do without Ciaran McElroy then if this is the case?

Never had a bit of bother in Letterkenny and I have been going there for years (in all kinds of shape), but then I don't go looking for trouble, also try to respect anywhere I go, generally by not pissing in public!  ::)

Dick!


Ah right, these hallions were the inforcement division of the "keep letterkenny clean" campaign... catch yourself on gda


And where did I say that?
As I stated earlier, chances are that the idiots who attacked screenexile were not even from Letterkenny.
So take your own advice.

I cant let it this one slide;

You said it here, i just gave them a "name"

QuoteDid you ever think that they maybe just didn't like some Derry whippet master coming into their town and pissing all over the place?

And you have absolutely no idea where they were from, just like screenexile has no idea where they were from.  But given that it happened it letterkenny he has every right to call it a rough town.  He never called the people that are from letterkenny rough!

There was an article in the Irish News yesterday about this.

You can't get TV3 through sky and because the signal isn't the best in some parts of the North they are looking into broadcasting their games on the internet.

Edit: here's the article:

TV3 is to broadcast All-Ireland GAA matches live on the internet because of patchy television coverage in the north.

The station last night revealed it was hoping to show a number of games online to cater for homes with poor quality reception.

It is the first year that some All-Ireland games have broadcast by a commercial station.

The deal was negotiated with the GAA for a three-year period, giving TV3 a sizeable slice of the lucrative market.

It has rights to broadcast some provincial finals, semi-finals and qualifier games.

Tyrone All-Ireland winner Peter Canavan and former Armagh manager Joe Kernan are due to be among station's studio team.

However, the announcement that some games would only be available on TV3 sparked some concern about the quality of reception to roof aerials in some rural parts of the north.

Unlike RTE, the station is not available on cable or satellite services.

In response, a TV3 spokeswoman last night said it was hoping to broadcast the games simultaneously on the internet, and an official announcement would be made shortly.

She said although she believed reception was good across most of the north, the station recognised that some rural spots may have problems picking up the games.

Last week TV3 chief executive David McRedmond said that "showing the national game is essential for a national broadcaster and we are immensely grateful to all at the GAA for making this happen".
