Quote from: From the Bunker on February 10, 2024, 06:16:15 PMJez, I definitely don't know what a forward pass is anymore?
more kicking in rugby than Gaelic football

If they get the 10 points back then they will be mid table

Any ideas for a high end place that isnt boring?

Thinking Mexico/Jamaica/Carribbean etc but not tied to them

All ideas appreciated as I am at a loss with this

I expect this deal to go tits up, cause there isn't really a deal

Thought Conor Cooney was immense.
He won the ball and brought so many other players into the game in the second half

How did the referee miss the headbutt in the first half? Crazy stuff
Then the Gaels player pushed into the end netting not even punished

Definitely a case for building a dome in each province.

Women at work got a pod coffee machine about 3 years ago. Don't think I've ever used it - don't see how those pods can be good for environment.

Prefer the coffee in coffee press actually. Love a café that does free filter coffee cup refills

Fire lit in the doorway of former convent building in Lanesboro, Longford
Building hasn't been used for accommodation for a good number of years.
You'd wonder is it the same few gougers going around with zip fire lighters in their pockets

Everton have created the hole themselves being very poorly run for almost a decade.

Splurge on crap players and huge wages.
Then pay offs for sacking managers
Low match day revenue and poor commercial sales of merchandise and rights.


Then COVID hit
The war in Ukraine - Usmanov money dried up
Building a stadium and the financing not properly in place

The proposed new owners have supposedly loaned £120m already to the club to keep them afloat.

Quote from: grounded on January 13, 2024, 12:10:52 PMAs Benny says +1 on bike hire. By the time you factor in paying for the bike box and paying the extra baggage costs its not worth it.
      Also you have to partially disassemble your bike and reassemble both ways. Your reliant on some halfwit not breaking your bike as well during transport.
    I would say to reserve bike(s) early as they can run low during busy times. 
    Although most come with a spare tube/levers, i would take a few spare tubes, levers, multi tool and maybe a rear light.
   

Lanzarote looks like it would be nice for cycling. Tenerife would be tough going surely?
Lanzarote is windy. Factor that in. Not as hilly but quiet roads away from the resorts
