I just came onto this page to see wtf Tony Baloney was doing writing here.

Saudi boxing is brilliant. Amazing spectacles, great fights and brilliant fight times.

Be brilliant to see the back of US fights in the middle of the night, but so far the Saudi's only seem interested in the heavier weights.

Very good performance, looked wrecked in the 3rd or 4th and Miller was looking strong, walking through everything Dubois threw. Wonder if HW will ever apply a limit, big deal made out shen a boy has a few lbs on another yet at HW you can have an opponent 6 stone heavier and it's deemed fair.

Hoijlund actually looks good but United have the least creative midfield in the league. Saw some stat last week that United have played the least number of passes to their strikers. I think he will come good. Very young too.

Ten Hag had had enough time. Not good enough.

What was the punishment again and what rule did they supposedy break?

I will never understand why someone doesn't stop their salaries straight away when these boycotts happen.

They are reduced by 27% at the minute. But if they don't go in this time the whole assembly needs binned. It's clearly not workable.

Snipping a bit off was never going to make a difference. We need a system where the best/most intelligent people run the country, not the ones who simply do the best in elections.

There should have at least been world champions, or winners of their sports major competition, in the running and not the lineup they had. Dettori, McIlroy, Broad, Earps and Hewitt shouldn't have been in the running.

Irish Language is dead. Complete waste of effort and resources trying to do anything about it.

How much on average are people here paying for electric?

[NHS in freefall and the education sector looking at a swathe of redundancies if more budget isn't secured for 2024]

DUP party officers meeting today/tonight to discuss the current negotiations.
Are they about to go back into Stormont?

Bryson in full flow, time they ignored that bollox but the loyalist "stakeholders" and the OO will also have their say, yet they still get on their high horse over "SF/IRA"!!!
Dodds and Sammy will be trying to scupper this as well.

Donaldson could sell this as a win, but he lacks backbone and will need to read the room as patience is running out on the DUP with the NHS in freefall and the education sector looking at a swathe of redundancies if more budget isn't secured for 2024.

If DUP / Shinners et all walked back into Stormont in the morning they would not have and never will have the competency (brains) to fix things.  There is £2.5 billion carrot being dangled so why do the British Government not just give the money to the Civil Service, who are currently running the country, and let them get on with things.  When it comes to fiscal management our elected representatives are to often blinded by their political alleigances when it comes to the allocation of public money whether it be Irish Language, bonfires, housing and the slush fund of all slush funds the 'community' groups.  Putting money towards Irish Language / bonfires scores brownie points with their core vote and they would far rather do this than put their heads together to see what needs to be done to have for example prevent Causeway Hospital maternity being relocated to Antrim or ensuring Daisy Hill and SWAH are able to offer a better service than they currently are.  If they cant wrap a tricolour or union jack around it they don't give a f@@k.

What's the Irish language got to do with anything?

I think his point is that it's not one bit important in the grand scheme of things, has been a major issue that's been heavily focused on but whether it was implemented or not really doesn't positively impact the country as a whole in real terms.

Under the Dome - nearing the end of the first season.

Very watchable so far

As in the one from 10 years ago? Enjoyed that show.

Home insurance quote in today, up from 450 to 890. Never claimed off it yet.

Really enjoyed Leave the World behind, although the ending was pretty poor.

Me too. The ending didn't bother me but that's what annoyed the wife.

Watched it last night, felt it needed something else, but not the worst film

I'd agree. It just seemed to run out of steam a bit. It was really tense for a large part of the movie, then they just summed the whole thing up in about 2 mins at the end. Perhaps there'll be a sequel? Kind of set up for one...

Went on Wikipedia after watching it and no mention of a sequel, think the book was only written recently.
