Swearing in front of wains is never big or clever...And the people who normally do it in my opinion are always big (of stomach) and rarely blessed with brains

Oh right then. That wasn't clear. Thought I'd try and be helpful!

Joke- What's the similarity between Monaghan and a pregnant cow? They're both near Cavan....Geddit?? I haven't been on this for over a year. Anything changed?

The Cavan v Fermanagh match is live on Saturday on BBC Television, Radio Ulster MW and Online. And throw-in time is 5.30pm.

Had a few pints with John Aldridge,Met Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka in Melbourne once and also met Keanu Reeves as he was in Sydney filming one of the Matrix films so i suppose he was the most famous..
Also met Pat Cash in a pub in Melbourne and had a pint with him

I stalked Pat Cash down the Kings Road in London as I have a lifelong obsession with him since he won Wimbledon in 1987. Thought he didn't see me but he then turned round and winked at me!! Officially met him in the line of business last year and I'm sure he looked at me as though I was a crazzzyyy lady

Hey - Have you any Irish in you? Would you like some? 

For all you McHugh fans out there on GAA Board - He's not in studio tomorrow night. It's James McCartan instead.

I am a wee bit unsure about starting this thread, because I am afraid of it being hijacked by bigots and wind up merchants.  I am originally from South Armagh but now work in an office in the North which is mixed about 50/50.  Everyone gets on great, and I would not have a bad word said about anyone here, RC or Protestant.

What I wanted to ask though, is it normal for Northern Protestants to,
1. Never have heard of Dustin the Turkey.
2. Never to have heard of the Late Late show.
3. To call Monaghan, (Monackon)
4. To not be able to pronounce Aisling
5. To never have heard of Brian Cowen

I know that these are all small things, and they don't annoy me.  Don't get me wrong.  I am just surprised!  Maybe I am the niave one, and I should not be surprised at all. 

Haha! This is really funny. Okay then Feckitt. From a good loyal Prod...Here are your responses mate...
Most of us haven't heard of Dustin the Turkey but agree the Eurovision song is pure crap
The Late ,Late show is an institution - Of course we've watched. But Pat Kenny is a poor man's Gaybo
My Mum's family were from Monaghan so of course we can pronounce it..It's Dun Laoghaire that a bummer
Aisling. Yep . I've made that mistake before. And hubby wrote Happy Birthday Shuvon to a girl in his office one time.
Is it rude not to have heard of Brian Cowen? Bring back Bertie!! 

Other things of note
Not all Prods appreciate the 12th marches
Are Catholic boys really full of guilt?
I can say Dublin in Irish...

Austy is terrific - All round great bloke. And Oisin McConville takes the hotseat from Jarlath Burns this week. Check the BBC website. Should be a good watch. Hope the game is better than last week's at Casement!

Would never have hated BB but wasn't a die hard fan either..The girlfriend wanted to watch this tonight so i gave it a chance..She told me to turn it off after 10mins pure and utter shite of the highest order
Matt Lucas telling some fat ginger scottish bloke what to do through a ear piece,Like that has never been done before 
BTW any nice women in it? Only watched it up untill the boxer came into the house

There's a beauty queen who went into the house last. She has an IQ of 178. She's thinks she's the dogs potatoes. Needs a slap!!

Best ever first dance I've witnessed? Bride and Groom had a special song by Radiohead called Fake Plastic trees. The DJ says "And now, please be upstanding for the happy couple dancing to...Motorhead!!"

Mr Wobbler - whoever you are - you speak a lot of sense. BBC NI seeks to serve the NI public - Exactly why they wouldn't show a Leinster or Munster game over an Ulster one. And why would RTE show an Ulster game ahead of Leinster etc, etc.  I always thought the GAA were great at promoting their matches and very inventive with press releases and ideas.  This is my opinion - it's a small pie and everyone wants a piece. So you have to be a little bit more ambitious than just sitting there whinging.  Go for it!

Anthem gaffe 'lifted Croatia' 
 
Croatia rose to the occasion in their crucial Euro 2008 defeat of England - after an apparent X-rated gaffe by an English opera singer at Wembley.
Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat anthem before the 80,000 crowd, but made a blunder at the end.

He should have sung 'Mila kuda si plania' (which roughly means 'You know my dear how we love your mountains').

But he instead sang 'Mila kura si planina' which can be interpreted as 'My dear, my penis is a mountain.'


Gentlemen - I give you...Rocco Siffredi 

Steve McClaren's gone - Will Joe Kernan take over?

Finding out that one of your closest friends is cheating on one of your closest friends, with another close friend. What. The. Fcuk.
Wondering what to do about it. I know I dont tell close friend number 2, but Im wondering if I approach close friends 1 or 3 about this. Im really shocked. Ive had a enough pints, but I still cant sleep.

Puckoon - Stay out of this! My advice. Feel terrible for you. But my friend was in the same predicament and fought herself about what to say. She left it and didn't get involved.  So - you stay out of it, you hear me?
