The books are great, though really grim reading at times. David Peace can be hard going but his books are definitely worth the effort, particularly if you like your fiction against a factual background (the ripper, the miners' strike, clough, etc.)

I downloaded the first series of The Wire.
I watched the first part of thirteen.
It looks interesting, is it worth getting hooked on it?  (I don't mean the smack)

I have just finished watching 13 parts of "Damages" and was left totally underwhelmed with the way the thing panned out in the end.

Watched the last episode of the last series the other week on TG4. It's the only series I've made a point of watching every episode from the start and well worth it. Seasons 2 and 3 dip a little in pace mid way but 4 and 5 are superb. Well worth sticking with.

Totally agree... I have all the series on dvd and it's one of the best tv shows I've seen. The characters are superb (mcnulty, bunk, stringer, marlo, omar, bubbles... the list goes on..) and the complex plotlines really repay the concentration you'll find yourself willingly giving.

Scary portrayal of the drugs trade and its participants if even half of it was true to life...

The same applies in division 2 & 3 were the ford and glasdrumman are far superior to any of the other teams in there respective divisions

Given the current points standing in division 3, I don't know where you get that idea from. I'm not a big supporter of the playoff system but sh*te like this statement has no relevance... Get your facts right.

Square Ball's already bagged the goalie's jersey for the 4ths team I hear... (well - he's probably about sixth choice keeper by this stage, but with injuries etc., who knows the heights he could achieve...  )

Me, Longshanks & Doohickey could form the backbone of a 4ths team.

  So only another 12 to go...

[and Dundrum.]

...

Division 3 would see the eight remaining old Division 2 sides group together. There may be a slight imperfection here as the top end of this grouping may just be too strong for the bottom end but it will be a far more balanced prospect than it was before.
This would be the new Division 3: Shamrocks, Ballymartin, Darragh Cross, Atticall, Downpatrick, Tullylish, Kilclief and Dundrum.

No self-interest there of course... 

I'd be almost certain that the use of a comma before the 'and' is allowed in some circumstances (it's called an Oxford Comma - and yes, I was sad enough to look it up after hearing the Vampire Weekend song of the same name...) There is an entry on wikipedia about it...

Definitely some juvenile sub-hogan stand posting on this thread. I'm happy enough to hear reasonable criticism from neutrals such as indiana and others but the posts from the usual halfwits just show how insecure some people are... Being from east down I've never really had any particular dislike of Armagh but I'm starting to understand why Newry people are so antagonistic towards them!

Good try (apart from the fact that 9 x 6 = 54  )

9 + 3 = 12
12 x 9 = 108
108 + 2 = 110
110 x 6 = 660
660 + 10 = 670

Div 3 result from tonight - St Michael's 0.14 Bredagh 3.13 Good to have football back after the break for the twelfth...

First back-to-back win by a European in 102 years apparently... Genuinely pleased for him - great that a decent guy like Harrington won in preference to that arrogant pr*ck Poulter...

It'll be a long oul drive after last night's trek... However, could've been worse (for both teams...) and it will be a good measure of how far we've come on under Ross & DJ
