David McCallum. One of the last actors from the great escape. I think only John Leyton is still alive.

Mick Jagger is 80 years old today. He wasn't even 40 when I saw the stones in Slane.

England plays Australia in a sport most people don't care about. The competition (the ashes) is about keeping the colonies sub servant to their masters. That Irish people pay it any attention is a measure of how much England still dictate what we should care about.

I worked there for about 5 years. Last year travelling to work I saw Derry flags and Union Jacks flying together on the same lamp post. I didn't know if it was a (hopefully)more tolerant way of getting along. Or did neither side have a Tyrone flag to burn 😛

Everyone can identify as whatever they want. As long as everyone with male genitalia are kept out of female safe spaces. As regards transgender women taking part in sports, there is nothing stopping them from organising their own transgender category and compete with other transgender athletes

I picked up my new T-Roc diesel from our local VW dealer yesterday. ;D I asked the sales rep if they were selling many electric vehicles. He said almost zero.

When Karrie Heatherington  won her gold medal, we all celebrated without wondering about her personal views.
Her opinions about immigration are her own and do not devalue her achievements as an Irish athlete.
We should not let the politically correct agenda pushed by the  sjw's deminish her achievements.

I've never understood the hatred some people have for cats, or the intolerance that some dog people have for people who don't share their passion for hounds.

I can't stand dogs, myself. I grew up getting chased by the feckers on my bike. Some owners made no effort to secure them and it meant some roads were no-go areas for anyone on foot or on bikes. There was one road near Lurgan that I rode down one day on the way to the lakes, and I heard some footsteps behind me. It was a giant Alsatian sprinting at me and it started barking. At least on the bike I was able to sprint and get away, but if I'd been on foot or there were small children walking past it doesn't bear a lot of thinking about. I've had plenty of similar encounters and unprovoked attacks.

Dogs in California are a bit better behaved because the owners aren't allowed to let them out of control, but occasionally you get one careless cretin in the park. I was out for a run in a park one evening and a pit-bull came out of nowhere ready to kill me. I freaked out and ran off, and the owner said the usual "he won't bite you" while she came running over trying to get the stupid thing under control.

Nothing as annoying as being out minding your own business only to be set upon by one of these dangerous animals for no reason. Put "dog mauled" into a Google news search and there's never any shortage of stories of people being attacked and in some cases killed by dogs.

Just watched the first episode of Blue Lights. First impressions are that it is very good with some excellent casting. The action scenes appear authentic.
Unfortunately it slightly drifts into a problems solved by a former social worker plot.
Nevertheless it has the potential to address the problems the cops face every day working in predominately nationalist/sceptical areas.
From a purely visual standpoint, the main character has a lot in common with the lead in Happy Valley.

Get the cat to identify as a dog and there won't be a cat shitting in your garden anymore.

Ramsdale made a couple of crucial saves yesterday.
Totally agree. He is like Jans Lehman. Reliable and under appreciated. It is only when we look back that we will see how good he was
