On the Nolan Show tomorrow night.

Why were there protests about the LLS, but apparently very little about Nolan?

Probably the Kildare family don't know about the Nolan Show and if they did contact Nolan he would have no qualms about including them in the show unlike the queasy RTE LLS.

Only those whose matches were televised.

Saffron Sam, God rest his cyber soul, is still using chalk. He's bucked.

Chalk has the advantage of being quite easy to throw at any problem pupil while a dry marker is useless, so his traditional approach may well impress the inspectors.

The duster carries a bit more weight.

But, unlike chalk, it leaves a mark! Best to throw the duster at the wall for effect.

Surprising how few counties competed in 2016.

Typical of the BBC and their sports reporters to put this out now allowing others to report it by referring to the BBC report.  Paddy Jackson has engaged Kevin Winters who will take no crap from the media.

Yet another example of why anonymity should be the law in such cases unless found guilty.

I've the inspectors in in a few weeks. Any tips for attire? Was thinking of a gown and a mortar board.

Definitely keep the gown but the mortar board is just asking for trouble, it will be hard to keep it on your head as you perform your song and dance act when the inspectors come in.

According to IN today, a teachers' union is threatening industrial action on the latest pay offer by not setting and marking homework for the first week of each half term.  So the green or red pens will last a little longer when this happens.

Are you 2 boys Sun readers by any chance? I'm expecting this sordid tale to be picked up and serialised by the sun or one of those rubbish papers very soon.

Irish News has already virtually serialised it and promoting it for the last week or so.  Today, the Irish News has another 'article' promoting the pre-launch in the Arts Crescent Centre with Adrian Logan.  Will you add him to your list with the ghost writer. Passages also being provided by the Indo.  The LLS carry on shows that there is no such thing as bad publicity.  A chat to Dromore folk will soon give you a perspective on the veracity of the events described in the book.

Just spotted you as we were going into Grandstand and you were moving away to another entrance. Called after you but had to move on in as a queue was forming. Checked at halftime where you might have been but you must have gone inside. Not to worry, was an exciting end and a great atmosphere.

Very well respected minute silence in the Kingspan tonight followed by a great rendition of the Fields of Athenry by the Ulster fan. Spotted Ziggy at the game.

They require much more maintenance that you would be led to believe on purchase.  Bought two of them a few years ago for a staff kitchen.  The water delivered is never boiling as it cannot be as it is he'd in a tank before travelling to the tap.  Storage tank needs space in your cabinet below the tap.  Eventually replaced one with an old still geyser. Difficult to keep them operating at a particular temp close to boiling.
