At 11 o'clock in the morning? She must be some operation hi
Sorry I meant at night over the weekend oops :)
Lurgan is supposed to have a lively Monday club scene so I wouldn't have been surprised if it was today!
Was it the Ceili House that used to have bands on a Monday afternoon? That's taking the Monday club to a new level!

Worked in a bar for years and all you hear these days from the aul punters is how the pub trades gone to sh*te and how no one goes out like they used to. I really enjoy listening to them talk about what it was like years ago and the stories they tell you about how EVERYONE went out and how the local was the place to be. I also used to think they exaggerated just how popular the 'Monday club' was but you hear it from that many people it sounds like it was some craic. Would love to see the bar trade pick up again. It's sad to see all these blacked out buildings driving through every single town in the country.

Working fine for me.Watching a near HD quality stream of Man City game.

You can also go to wiziwig.tv and select the game you want and pick one of the Ace Stream streams.
Torrent controller will start automatically.
Meant to say if you have vlc player installed it works far better. You can get it in the Google Play Store.
Just pick vlc player as the video player when you are given the option after the stream is buffered.

Good man laoislad. Working perfect. Thats racing and football sorted at the weekends. Cheers.

Got netflix set up on the smart there. Great job! Loads of great tv series to get stuck into and ive seen a few top class documentaries on it as well. Ones were telling me you can change the ssettings on the tv so you receive the US version which as a better selection of shows and films. Any truth in this or has anyone tried it with success?

Madrid, PSG, Munich, Athletico or Barcelona.

Tough draw for the chaps in this Moy Park Chickens World Cup 2014 tournament but I'm sure we can come out of the group without too much fuss, although having to deal with the world's finest player in Luis Suarez (the jewel in the Barclays Premier League crown) is certainly something to think about.

Particularly looking forward to us setting the record straight in Belo Horizone-ch in the final group match against Costa Roca, after that infamous 1-0 defeat there to the USA in 1950. Newspapers in England mistakenlly thought that result to be 10-1 to England, which was perfectly understandable given that we were by far the best team in the world.

Then it's onwards and upwards with an easy second round draw against one of the minnows of Colombia, Greece, some African team and I can't remember who.

All in all the expeditition is already shaping up to be just as successful as the British Loins' famous civilising mission to South Africa in 1974.

In all seriousness, why do you do that?

It actually gets worse. I wonder what Frazer apologists like Danny Kennedy, Jeffrey Donaldson and The Newsletter will have to say about Frazer and his party referring to Mandela as a f**king murdering monkey.  :-[

aye did you notice The Newsletter yesterday. It was literally the only newspaper on the stand that didn't run Mandella as their cover story. EVery other paper had it on their front page in some form. Found it very strange.

Belcoo (Fermanagh) & Shannon Gaels (Blacklion, Cavan)??

Sure they're basically the same place. Even closer than Strabane and Lifford. Always wondered how intertwined these two communities would be considering the euro/pound and all that craic.

Now that the black card is introduced, Sean Cavanagh (equipped with his GPS system and gun) takes advantage of a loophole in the GAA rulebook, to demonstrate how he'll be stopping Conor McManus from scoring in 2014.

Great caption Penny, catchy,snappy and to the point, the way any good  caption should be!

That made my day, sir. Thank you.

Leaving pipe bombs at GAA clubs and a primary school and receiving 100 hours community servoce instead of being locked up.  >:(

Hun-believable.

On the news last night they were reporting about the sc**bag in Chicago who attacked Natasha McShane is likely to get 120 years in prison (good enough for him)

But then the very next story was about some young druggy fella in the North who stabbed a fella in the neck killing him, and he will be out in 3 years.  The parents of the boy who was killed were saying that the funeral payment plan will last longer than the sentence, and that the young mans daughter will only be 6 years old when the guy who murdered her dad gets out of prison.

It is very hard to understand why unduly lenient sentences are handed out in this country. North and South.

It is actually ridiculous the the jail terms that are handed out over here for convictions. Even in England you can go to prison for punching someone on the street. Yet over here people get handed out 'life sentences' of 15 years (out in seven) for murder. How do they justify it?

Has anyone else stumbled across an American comedy called 'Parks and Recreation'? It was recommended to me a few months ago by a friend in the states and I Sky+ed it and watched all of series 1 - absolutely brilliant. Ron Swanson is one of the best comedy creations of recent years!

Anyone know when season 2 of Moone Boy begins? I'm sure I've seen it advertised on Sky1 but that was months ago

Only started watching this the other day on a recommendation from a friend. Great show and with very funny a well played characters.
