I have gotten  into watching youtube clips of the original knowing me knowing you with Alan Partridge series. It really is top class. There was only ever one series of that ending when he shot one of his guests on live tv. It is a shame he never brought it back as it was brilliant.

It was good that it wasn't brought back. It allowed for a great narrative of the Alan Partridge story, seeing him fall and desperately over the years trying to crawl back to fame.

My parents are going to a wedding up around Omagh in a couple of weeks. They're heading from Mayo on the day (Thurs) before the wedding, staying in Carrickmore - anywhere around that general area that people would recommend for food?

Also, if they were to go up early in the day, is there anything in particular worth seeing?

Thanks

Restaurants in Omagh area are fairly bleak, a good number can't even manage a 5 rating for hygiene.  Grants is the best in the town and there are no others I would take anyone to outside the town unless you just wanted a basic good feed of the same old stuff, about as good as a carry out of which Omagh has a huge number.

When you stop to think about what is worth seeing in Omagh, there is little or nothing worthwhile for the tourist. The Folk Park is great on a dry day otherwise bring a good coat and boots, remember Omagh has one of the highest rainfalls for towns in Ireland, on a par with Derry.  The Omagh bomb memorial must be one of the worst of its type anywhere in the world.  Town centre is grim with too much traffic, too little parking, too many charity shops and too many closed premises. 

The more I think about it the worse it gets from a visitor point of view.  Apart from that it is a good place to live, great schools, plenty of sporting clubs of all types, good leisure facilities and a very good place to bring up children. Just a pity we have to export them out of the area to get worthwhile, reasonably paid jobs.

Hardstation was supposed to be looking after the place yesterday. He must have got distracted.

Lyra was a dear friend of mines and my heart is broken today. Please don't be fueling rumours. In enough pain.

Over €300 million pledged already for restoration......incredible......tycoons trying to outdo each other.....

'Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'

Indeed.

Where's the €300 million for where it's really needed?

I enjoyed it. Almost two years now since it was last on, so it was just a reintroduction and all happy-families (though Jon and Khaleesi got a little too happy). Big reunions all over the place.

It can only mean one thing, next week is going to be a bloodbath.

I want to confirm that whilst my Internet post is littered with spelling and grammar errors, I did not follow for Brexit.

No Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son or Til Death Us Do Part on the list? Very poor.

Renounce the Ziggy name would you, until you know how to respect how to use it.

Derry Girls is one of the funniest comedies currently on television. It's witty, it's crude, it's thought provoking and it evokes so many great memories from being a teen in the 90s and studying in that there city.

Then you go and say Dad's Army is what is held up at the pinicle of great comedies? It's rubbish, utter rubbish.

I might, if you promise to try and improve your spelling next term.

I'll thnik about it

EU votes to scrap daylight savings in 2021.

After Brexit, a wee night out in Monaghan will not only mean needing a green card or passport, you'll be crossing into a different zone. ffs

Holy fcuk lads,  would some of you wise to fcuk up...there are 3 dead darlings barely cold and you're having debates about blame and the like?  Honestly take a huge look at yourselves.  There is a pretty widespread Tyrone membership on here.  I am sure there are connections to people involved.  Temper things and let the dust settle.  There are no answers to this at this stage and some of you should get the fcuk off your high horses and have respect

Well said BCB1
