2-3-4 format is the correct way. 12 Apr 2024. No mistakes then.

Any early adopters for Fallout. I've read some big reviews for it. Need to finish Ripley tonight then straight into it.

From a movie perspective, the plot is not original though.

Go on and say it has copied Star Wars so we can tell you that Dune predates Star Wars by at least 10 years.

Cass report released yesterday, seems pretty sensible - any child should have a full assessment for unrelated "issues" l, numerous divergent, autism etc and a mental health assessment before proceeding with gender treatment. Instead of just prescribing puberty blockers as a matter of course

Better late than never.

At that age with the pulls of college, starting careers, travel, women and going out with mates a good few of those lads are bound to question if they can be fucked getting a hammering.

Prof Peter Higgs (of Boson fame), read his Obituary in the Times paper today, a great read it was too.

Here's one from the Guardian that I haven't read tbh.

Some obituaries are fantastic reads. It's a journalistic art form.

You're getting old Benny!

Is there a higher proportion of these cases amongst the famous. Sting's son/daughter acting in Ripley.

Haven't seen the Saka penalty incident yet but it definitely wasn't a penalty.

Most blatant, bordering on comical, attempt by an attacker to engineer contact I've ever seen!

I didn't see all the angles of the foul on Grealish's leading to their goal from the free kick but it certainly looked at first glance that he made sure he made contact with the tackler. Trailing a leg or indeed kicking the tackler seems to have better than even chances of getting a pen- Anthony Gordon the other week against West Ham being a case in point.

Is the all-star team still decided by trial matches?

Just seen the team posted there and no players from Omagh, Dungannon or Donaghmore

Yeah, well the hurling definitely is & I assume the football is the same. They are a nonsense

I'm sure the argument is that good players on shit teams may get overlooked. Sore on boys that have a good campaign but have a poor trial.

Legend

The bar for a legend is particularly low these days.

"In December 2023, public sector jobs as a proportion of the population were 11.7%, which compares to 8.8% for the UK as a whole."
So,what do these extra people do?

Very little.

I'm surprised Joe is still peddling the Gilroy and MDMA boot story, when it was debunked.

Yeah not overly many from that down minor team though I think it maybe showed them they could compete with the best of them too.

Yeah , I found that boots story  very odd  (whether it was true or not) , especially with MDMA  actually sat there. It's  like Joe  knows more about  the sanctity of the Dublin dressing room  than a fella who was actually there!

But we all know Joe likes to cosy up to  successful teams. They do everything  right and the rest do  everything wrong 

Photo/video evidence and the internet have debunked a lot of latter day sporting yarns.
Jason McAteer and Tony Cascarino have also been caught out telling porkies about their Ireland days too.

These yarns are essential for the after-dinner circuit.

Poor quality game, chase & kick, league 2 stuff.

I'm sure you've watched the SPL before!

One episode and a bit into Ripley and the casting of Freddie Miles has put me right off. The black and white noir cinematography worked really well in the NYC scenes but really want to see some blue skies and sea in Italy!
