Mrs CD and I banned the oul TV altogether there about 3 months ago as my 4 year old was becoming obsessed. Best thing we ever did. TV room is closed and locked and used as a treat - once a week or so. The kids have stopped asking about it and are playing around the house very happily - going to be a long oul winter without it!

;D Sounds like something my parents would have done to me when I was younger!

People who do this grind my gears.

Jesus bit harsh alright.

Weekdays they are allowed 1 hour in the evening in my house. At weekend TV is turned off at 10am and not back on till 6pm ish where we all sit down together for a family movie either Sat or Sun.

Similar enough set up to us Dinny. Give them an episode of the Waybullos in the evening to calm them down before bed whereas before they used to be mesmerised by segments on the news, etc. So that got canned and as well as reducing the negativity they are now colouring in and reading books, if not using me as an emergency stop for a full room sprint. Liking the sound of a family movie.

I pass a girl in a silver polo eating hers behind the wheel a couple of mornings a week! Honest injun!

Leinster Rugby Administrators and Barristers, wankers the lot of them

Why, what now? And do you mean Leinster Rugby Barristers, or Barristers in general?

If it's related to development squad issues, it's not just Leinster Rugby Admins :)

Junior Club issue where 3 Barristers representing Leinster Rugby across 2 hearings ruled on a administrative error and penalised a club with a points deduction and kicked them out of the Towns Cup all while failing to acknowledge their own role in the mess. Unprecedented and frankly a disgrace!

They caused the issue, or had a hand in it at least, and then penalised the club because of it?
