Is there any chance that Eyjafjallajokul could play a part here?

There should be plenty of interest here from Scotland and Wales and England. Sam Maguire himself was a Londoner and it might be a bit rude to exclude people from London stuck in the airports with their jersies on.

Reminds me of the RTE radio presenter out on the streets and asked man how he'd like to be buried. Yer man replies, ...'to the balls in Bibi Gaskin."
Whatever happened to her by the way?

Did you hear this on the radio or is it an urban myth?

Because I know my family will want to have a traditional Catholic burial but I have ordered my solicitor to take control of the whole thing and call the police if anyone objects and to show them the letter I wrote.

I have been giving this serious thought lately and have finally taken the courage and told my solicitor that I want to be cremeated and scattered. I always abhorred the thought of being burned in a box but I recently had a death in the family (my dog) and knowing that he is under the ground in the garden breaks my heart, especially when it's cold. I have an awful temptation around midnight with a few drinks in me to go outside, dig him up and cuddle him in the hope that he opens his eyes one last time and smiles. However he is 6 months dead and is probably rotting and full of maggots so that'd be even more scarring.

I told my solictor that I want something by Westlife at my cremeation and I want champagne and laughter even canned laughter if people are moping about and being sad.

What are other people doing?

Also, I have asked him to make me be scattered down Donegall Street in Belfast.

This a wonderful development and the final piece in the jigsaw. Kevin's delightful aura will permeate any self doubt in the squad. This is like Canavan returning to Tyrone or Fitzgerald playing again for Derry. I can see him blitzing Cavanagh and keeping him on the back foot throughout the game. Mark my words, Harte will be a very worried man tonight.

I have been loading this video for two days now and it's still buffering. Any ideas? Is it any good?

I met Colin Farrell last weekend. We were staying at the same hotel. He was on his own and I went over to him for a bit of his craic. He was obliging and bend over backwards when he didn't need to. We cracked right into the night and the drink was flowing. I mustve had at least 2 full bottles of Rose wine and he was drinks Corona. I ended up heading back to his room for more crack and it was very funny. There were two other lads and they were up for it too. I had a seriously sore head in the morning.

I'll never forget the last thing he said to me though when I left his room with one of the other lads. "Oliver, never forget what I told you last night." and he winked me. I smiled out of embarrassment but hadnt a notion. I've been wrecking my brains ever since and the only thing I can remember him saying was that he loved a bit of ham.

I am feeling very confident about this. Tyrone are in  no man's land this season and it reminds me of the time Down beat them two years ago. Antrim are no worse than that Down team. Steven O'Niell, Brian Dooher and Jim McMahon have had little game time.

On the other hand the sight of a Tyrone scalp will make the St Galls boys pull their socks up and be motivated for this, something that was hard for them after St Patrick's Day. I think we can win this by 2-3 points as long as we get a good start not like July last. I think that he should start as many players as possible as this will be no bother in terms of motivaton.

GAA Discussion / Re: Man Of The Match?

I thought Eoin Bradley was man of the match. He tried very hard and when he came out the field he was the only man to carry the fight to Armagh. Although he didn't touch the ball, Enda Muldoon was a threatening presence but it was too late to make an impact and hence not on long enough to be rated but could've been man of the match if everything was different.

For Armagh, Vernon, McDonnell, Moriarty and Kernan and Mallon were sound performers. SO overall the man of the match was probably McDonnell.

Some great stories here and two of them had me in genuine tears.

Faith in humanity will always be here when you guys are around.

General discussion / The Good Things I Saw Today
May 13, 2010, 09:36:51 AM
I was reading a few days ago and a boys says to get up every morning in a positive mood and your whole world will change. He says to smile at people and their whole demeanear changes towards you and you'll find you'll get opportunites you never did before. I tried it all this week and it's amazing the difference. People smile back at you and even maybe wink.

It got me thinking but we seem to be down on a lot of things. On this board we'll talk about loads of negative things. We never say nice things about each other and are angry a lot. Like, why not start a thread with 'The good things I saw today' ? It could be men helping old women across the street or someone doing something dramatic for their neighbour like opening an oil cannister or babysitting and maybe they personally are gravely ill or have a disease.

The newspapers tell stories of the bad things in life like earthquakes and starvation. Why don't we ignore them and just write about good things and then the bad things might not happen.

I'll start:

Today I bought a packet of Kimberleys for a stranger.
