I don't approve of this meme.

That is all.

Lacrosse. Where the forwards stand in a circle around the goal passing the ball to each other. (You can't see who has the ball because it's hidden in one of the nets.) Occasionally one of them will try to take a shot at the goal that's not much bigger than the goalie.

I'll pass, thanks.

I get a hankering for the old days of the 70s, when the pubs of Lurgan (International, Beehive) and elsewhere were real men's bars (before all the disco and gastropub era crap), were the crack from the old ones was great, and the only enetertainment was a tv and darts board, and the only beers and stout available was Harp, Smithwicks,McArdles and Guinness. Those pubs had character.

Eamonnca1 in fairness Ulick's experience of the parades would be mine too, when the parade was going past you were shoved in and door closed until they were well past. You must be 80 year old ...

Oh I don't doubt that that happened too.  I'm thinking of a spell when it wasn't too bad.  It was before all the Drumcree stuff blew up in 1995, so this would have been the early 90s I'm thinking of.

Aye, sure 

This must have been before your time. Or after it. Some one of the two.

I was right there and I'm telling you it happened.

Is the Corner House making any in-roads at building a clientele since it re-opened? Was in it last summer and there was hardly a sinner about.

Full story here. Or at least the Sunday World's version of it.

Panics off. Shes heading for scotland. No need to worry about housing or getting the rats benefits etc.. Scots coastguard are on high alert for the ghost ship according to the scotish news.
How do they not know where this boat is? I wouldnt like to fall overboard not much chance of being found when they cant find a big ship

How often do you cross the Atlantic by ship Lawnseed?

On my life's list of things to do is an Atlantic crossing on the QM2.

They might have to run more performances now after all the attention it's gotten. Sure to be a sell-out after all this.

Saw the play myself a couple of years ago. Great crack. If you watch the whole thing and see the whole context you'll see they're actually very respectful.

Always liked the old Cellar myself. Would go in there for lunch the odd time on the weekend, decent spot to put in a Saturday afternoon shooting pool with mates. Was a great gathering spot when waiting for the Arena bus too. Especially on the Saturday night when the Apprentice Boys would be marching down William St and back up the town, we'd be outside the pub waiting for the bus so we just stood and watched the bands.  This was when Wakehurst was still a protestant enclave, some of the young ones from that estate would walk back up the town alongside the bands looking nervous as hell at us, but we never passed any remarks.  Some of our ones would even join in jumping about and "celebrating" with the bands. I think the RUC was more nervous about it than we were.

Is there anywhere online where we can watch these interviews?

I thought he was a good administrator. I don't know him personally but I knew his dad who was a big GAA man in his day.

No need to spend money advertising anything. Pick a thread that's interesting, share it on FB.  Done.

Just started watching Sherlock the other day. Quare stuff!
