Pre pandemic when we used to work in city centre id often cycle in. Road in as it was early and then canal towpath back. Nearly every single jogger on the towpath would have head phones in. So when you caught up with them they would react like you appeared out of nowhere. Bell wasnt much use then and yes i had one.
Saw the other night a flipping deliveroo guy on a bike. All in black no lights nada. Darwin award material.

As a "cyclist" of sorts thing that drives me mad is the petrol heads that will happily put you in a ditch but then you see them coming up on a couple of people on horseback and they are all smiles and waves. What the f**k is that about?

Not sure about the whole price thing on wine and whiskey. I order from naked wines once a year before christmas and the stuff is very nice. Say around £12 a bottle. Now i can taste the difference between £12 bottle and £6 bottle from tesco but i've tried stuff around £40 and i cant tell any difference from that to a £12 bottle. So i suppose that is my cut off point. Similar i've had bottle of £180 middleton. Give me the choice between one of those and 5 bottles of black bush i'll be taking the latter thanks.
Had bit of strange one with wine. Up until about 10 years ago would only drink white. Went on hols to tuscany and have only drank red since. Strange. Anyway whatever you like enjoy it. We all have our own tastes and quirks.

Quote from: imtommygunn on December 06, 2023, 10:05:57 PMWtf is going on with the Rwandan scheme that the British government are pushing for. So starmer stands up in parliament today and says that the maximum it can take is one hundred and for this one hundred they take in one hundred from Rwanda? Them tories should be locked up. Never mind the premise of this thing in the first place the sheer lies that go on with them is off the chart.

Smoke and mirrors. Feed the Brit public the line - aren't we great at tackling all these foreign people coming into our country? A large section of the British lap this shite up. Meanwhile, some Tory is pocketing a fortune while they have distracted everyone to look over there.

Rwanda pretty rich in natural resources so wonder if its tied in some way to that. They seemed to talk a lot about it developing etc. Brit public to foot the bill for the first 5 years of anyone deported to rwanda. Its all electioneering shite. There is accommodation for what 2 boat loads ffs. Plus if they committ a crime whilst there they can be deported back from Rwanda. Brexit still killing the tories. Not long now.....

anyone hear anything about Irish ferries? I notice on their website you can only book Holyhead Dublin up as far as the end of January which is very unusual.

But he's from Cookstown so...... :P


Never, ever, ever trust an insurance company.
Trust me I speak from bitter experience.

I'm sure Maddog appreciates the advice. Sitting as he has before his screen waiting on your reply, with baited breath, for just 15 years.

😁😁

Ziggy90 is usually quicker with a retort than that.  ;)

Caught a bit of that on Al Jazeera yesterday and think they said that the journalists were being asked to leave buildings where people were sheltering as they knew the Israelis were targetting Al Jazeera journalists and therefore putting others at risk.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on October 04, 2023, 06:09:00 PMSee another lad killed by a XL bully in England today, think this Dog type was only allowed in the country from 2018, seen one in Rasharkin the other week.Fairly heavy dog and you be doing well to come out on the right side of it, if the dog went off on you. Thinking, any pups brought over from then  are only hitting their mid adult age now,seems to be their temperant is very suspect bordering on outright aggression. Think that the 6th person in the UK this year. Not a good record.
There was a puppy mauled by one last week in Lurgan. They're being banned in England but law doesn't apply here.

It's always the same tramps that own these dogs, they should be tried before a court as if it was them that carried out the attack and not their dog.

Lad 4 doors away from me has one and a pup. Up until a few months ago he would adverstising the dog for stud on facebook. Left outside most of the time and it just whines like hell all day. Your description of owner is bang on as well.

Hope Kuss wins overall, those other pair can afford to gift him it. Also, wonder will Kimmage and/or Digger have a comment on today's stage

Was thinking same. Sky never dominated in that manner that I can remember. Their game was about making it high tempo then the leader finish it off. Jumbo 1,2,3 as they liked and could have been in whatever order they liked. Hope kuss isn't given orders to sit up. Let the Angrilu decide.
