Not sure how true thus is but heard Allen is experiencing relationship problems again.  Bloody women

Yep. He broke off his engagement a few months before the wedding. Who knows what shape his head's in.

Pubs in Belfast centre to watch this please?  Cheers 🍻

The parador in ormeau road normally shows it. It's down past the errigle inn. Theres a place next door call The Shed does a great lunch on a Sunday.
Would there be anywhere closer to the Europa? Cheers

You'd get the game in Lavery's which would be in walking distance. The Bot would be more like a taxi....you could walk it too if you've time to spare though and it's decent weather.
Thank you

The Garrick on Chichester Street (past the front of the City Hall) will definitely be showing it in their front bar. They've had all the Tyrone matches so far this year.

Your ball-c**k is possibly set too high as it knocks off the inlet once the water reaches a certain level.   There should be a plastic threaded bolt at the ball-c**k hinge that allows to to set how can much water to come into the cistern.
As soon as i touched that thread at the right the water started coming in again without it flushing.


I screwed it well down and flushed and can see it clearly go and and then raise up as the water fills up - but the water just keeps filling even when it goes as high as it can go.
Is that unit faulty?

Have you tried screwing it in the opposite direction?

Yep tried it at max both ways and the water just kept flowing.
What is that unit called? A fill valve?

flush valve is what we'd call it.  Show the pic in your plumbers merchants and they should be able to sort you

It's a fill valve. The flush valve is the siphon. Looks like a bottom entry fill valve to me.

Anybody fancy two tickets to the double-header on Saturday? My wife and I are season ticket holders and we're at a graduation and can't go >:( I would be able to email you the PDF of the tickets. Not asking any money for these by the way. Free to the first Tyrone fan (or Cavan, if they wish) to ask for them.

Tickets still available?

Indeed they are. If you DM me your email address I'll send you them once I get them (probably Wednesday).

Has this been switched to the Athletic Grounds from Celtic Park?  Tyrone GAA have this on twitter.

Yeah it's been moved to Armagh with a 6pm throw-in. They moved it from Derry because Derry are playing their refixed league game on Sunday.

It's pretty obvious what I (and everyone else) can see what you were at.

You are the one coming in screaming about a film (that you incorrectly described)

QuoteGay man targeted for grooming a 14 year old boy. Hollywood promotes man boy relationship.
Gabe a 17 year old is still a boy in my book. Sure you're still a boy yourself?

So in your book a 17 year old can't have sex with a 25 year? Regardless of the laws which says different..
I do understand the laws. My hypothetical questions have been to ask your opinions on it (regardless of the laws). I don't care that the legal age is 16 - my kids won't be having sex at 16 if I can help it. I woulldn't allow my 17 year old daughter (one day) to date a 25 year old, a 30 year old or a 60 year old - if it's legal or not. That's what I'm asking you - would you?
The legal age is different in many countries. 14 is ok in Germany and that lad in Lurgan would have done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law but in Ireland he is going to jail (by the way I have no sympathy for him).....but these nuances challenge our thinking on it all surely?
I would like to just engage in healthy discussion on the matter instead of the likes of Gabe reading a mile into my psyche and wrongly ascertaining my intentions.

The Chief Constable of the RUC/PSNI has stated that there have been NO convictions due to the actions of these vigilantes:

http://www.thejournal.ie/paedophile-hunter-groups-ireland-3790290-Jan2018/

So I highly doubt that anybody is going to go to jail because of something that the vigilantes have "caught" them doing.

The flatmate of that guy from Lurgan is now being threatened.  People saying he must have known and that he's complicit in it etc.

*facepalm*

Any decent solicitor would rip these guys apart in court. Basic defences are:

1) Defendant knew the person was over the age 16 based on the way they were talking, turns of phrase, idioms etc that only a mature adult would use.

2) Defendant did not instigate sexual conversation. If the "investigator" mentions sex first then it's a clear case of entrapment.

3) There is no actus reus.

4) Defendant argues that the mens rea was a simple fantasy and not predatory.

5) The defendant had diminished responsibility due to mental health issues etc.

These vigilante groups do more harm than good as, for want of a better phrase, "mud sticks". They conduct a trial by social media where the bar is set at "that guy looks like a pervert so he is" rather than "beyond all reasonable doubt. Personally, I'd leave it to the cops (however useless they can be) and if these vigilantes MUST get involved then do it out of the gaze of the public eye and simply hand over any potential evidence to the police.

What's with the "Eire ".
No such place.

No such place as Éire? You may tell that to the people that wrote Bunreacht na hÉireann and that produce passports because I'm pretty sure both state that the name of the state as Gaeilge is Éire.
