Quote from: Munchie on October 28, 2025, 11:14:27 AMOne of these shows the British Media tell you to like and it's a classic, always thought it was pure tripe.
Majority see it as a timeless classic than told to like it. Out of interest which shows do you find humorous?

In terms of british comedy Fawlty Towers is right up there as one of the best ever. Loved only fools and horses but my favourite was probably Yes Minister/Prime Minister. Brilliantly written and acted.

US comedies, No 1 The Big Bang Theory. Great show. I Would have watched Friends, Frasier etc back in the day and also really like Rules of Engagement.

For me the sign of a great comedy is one where you will quite happily watch it, even when you have seen it multiple times before.

Quote from: lurganblue on October 17, 2025, 10:52:30 PMAlthough I've never used it, throwing a load of biological washing powder down is supposed to do a good job.
Aye it can work, but got a fairly long driveway so would be a pain getting it down. Just use the moss & Algae killer via a knapsack sprayer which is great normally at killing it. But then moving the dead stuff is the challenge.

Moss is a curse, my driveway is back green within 2 weeks of  spraying it and over the last month or so it's taking over my lawn. Too late in the year to treat it so I know it's going to be a pain next spring.

Quote from: BeraghBadger on October 18, 2025, 07:50:00 AMLoughmacrory celebrating like they have won the thing meanwhile Trillick keeping it all on the down low and they will be looking revenge for last years loss. Loughmacrory simply don't have the defenders to stop all of Trillicks attacking power. Trillick will be happy with Loughmacrory in final as I believe Carrickmore would of been a bigger challenge for them

To be fair, trillick players and supporters also celebrated on Sunday evening. They did not keep it down low afterwards - and nor should they.

If both teams can ground themselves again then I don't see an issue

Can't expect teams to not celebrate getting to a final, especially after a replay and winning like they did. Enjoy the moment then back to business preparing for next week.

James Garrity? Ethan Jordan? Dara Curran?

To be honest, I think 3 of your six backs will not play next year.

Quote from: thebigfullforward on October 11, 2025, 04:17:07 PMLooks to have been some game. Well done Drumragh

Saw each of these games and both were great entertainment. After the standard of some of the matches in teh Junior Championship earlier rounds, great to see two very evenly matched teams and the standard of football was of a high quality. Conditioning of both teams was seriously impressive as well, both teams were still running hard to the end. To go to ET after two full games in the space of less than 5 days and then have a corner back pop up with the winning point in the last minute is a testament to the level of training.

Cookstown will be gutted to miss out on the chance of a double having dragged themselves back into it twice over the course of the two games but at least they have promotion secured. County Board possibly slightly relieved with the result after the missed two pointer in the first game!

Clogher probably slight favourites given they turned Drumragh over twice in the league but that looks a different Drumragh team to earlier in the year and they will fancy their chances. They had a couple of heavy knocks so hopefully those players recover for the Final. Both teams have a lot of pace and threat up front so the key will probably be who can do the best defensive job.

Quote from: Rossfan on December 03, 2024, 11:02:59 PMCan do fk all about it, they're amateurs.

He has some nerve. Who the fcuk does he think he is, trying to hinder  young athletes to have the opportunity of a professional sporting career. Yes it might weaken an individual team slightly for a couple of years but every county is in the same boat. They are amateur players and should be given every opportunity to make the best life for themselves and if that involves moving to another country/sport then the GAA as an organisation should be proud of them, not seek to put obstacles in their way.

Would they? are most people outright liars and fakes?

Are you saying that if someone had the ability to potentially stop their child going to jail the majority of people  would not use that power?

Indeed. I have read people say it legitimises future Trump pardons, however the same fella doesn't need a reason or an excuse. The 6th Jan "patriots" will be out.

Absolutely. Understand why Biden did it obviously and I am sure most people would have done the same. Democrats cant turn round and criticise Trump now. As a general query, why should Presidents have this power?

The US political system is unfit for purpose across the board.

Quote from: gawa316 on December 02, 2024, 06:44:53 AMI think I just might be all in on Kelleher being our no. 1 going forward, if that's not his path I could absolutely see him at somewhere like Brighton


Liverpool have screwed up by signing Giorgi Mamardashvili. Now they've a problem on their hands entirely of their own making.

2 into 1 can go with Alisson's injury and age profile (albeit it makes no business sense to keep Alisson on his current wage given availability).

3 into 1 definitely doesn't go.

If Kelleher keeps playing like current and Alisson comes straight back into the team and stays there - if I were in his boots I'd immediately be looking around.

Manuel Neuer is 38. That'd be a good place to look. Not Brighton.


If I were Slot, I'd be showing Alisson a contract with much reduced wages, and if he refuses, the door.

Dont know that Screwed up is the phrase as they have 3 top class keepers to choose from. Probably more that there is a difficult decision to be made. Reminds me of the Cech/Courtois situation at Chelsea. Kelleher is simply too good to be backup and if the reports on Mamardashvili are accurate then so is he. Its hard to see either of those guys agreeing to sit behind Ali for 2-3 years so it looks like they might be prepared to cash in on him.

Kellehers performances this season have given them a decision to make i dont think they envisaged when they signed Mamardashvili.

Quote from: Armagh18 on November 27, 2024, 10:24:19 AMWhats the solution? Straight knock out the whole way?

Champions only. Straight knock out.

Never going to  happen though.  They're not  going to kill the golden  cow.  And  in another way, UEFA know that  fans  will attend any amount of  extra games they  create.

I dont mind the number of teams as such but i think a straight knock out with no seeding would be much better. Maybe allow for no meeting a team from your own league for say the first 3 rounds.

As you say, never going to happen though. UEFA would not allow the chance of a "bad" draw taking out a load of the big names in Sept/Oct.

Quote from: trueblue1234 on November 27, 2024, 09:06:13 AMIt's terrible. Liverpool Madrid up now. Interest is minimal for me.

They've destroyed it.

It might get more interesting the last couple of rounds but the reality is its likely to be the middle tier teams fighting it out for a couple of spots with maybe one or two "big" teams needing a win. Same as every other year, a money making racket before Christmas and the real competetion only starts in Feb/March

Quote from: Captain Obvious on November 26, 2024, 10:02:18 PMThe slide for Manchester City continues, letting a 3 goal lead slip and only drawing at home with Feyenoord.  No excuse for Liverpool not to beat Manchester City on Sunday and to win comfortably.

Elsewhere Arsenal took full advantage of a Sporting team that lost their manager.

Pep  couldn't  be  sacked, could he?

No, hes untouchable.

Quote from: Armamike on November 25, 2024, 10:26:42 AMUsually a team that has a lead like this at this stage (albeit with 2 thirds of the season to go) normally goes on to win the title.  So Liverpool are in a great position to win the thing. The chances are with the run of games coming up and through Christmas Liverpool will drop some points in the coming weeks, but they just need to expect this is a possibility, and hold their nerve.  Chances are City and Arsenal will drop a few more too.
Fully expect City to win at Anfield next week. Liverpool have scraped through a few games and City will know that a defeat will severely hurt them so they will raise their game. Arsenal have all their injuries clearing up so expect them to go on a run of wins to close the gap as well.

Think yesterday showed how important it is to get Jota back. If Nunez is off it, he gives something different up front.

Projector

*Edit - sound quality is iffy, but it's grand for the kids and I presume I could improve it if I needed.

I am looking to convert my garage into a gym/den and the missus has suggested getting a projector for the firestick.  I looked online and the range of prices is huge from £50 to in the thousands.  Has anyone used one with the stick and if so could they recommend a make/model. TIA
