Browsing through the terrestrial channels the other night and stumbled upon the start of the much vaunted classic, The Wicker Man, the 1973 original with Edward Woodward and a young ,nubile Brit Ekland, so I thought I'd give it a go and see what the fuss was about as I'd never watched it in its entirety before.

I was slow paced, and TBH weird as fĂșck for big parts of it with all the hedonism, paganism etc going on and the confusion around the "missing girl" soon to be sacrificed to the god of the sun on May day, but strangely kept you involved until the big switcheroo at the end.

I'd say it was a decent story well told and captured on film, maybe hasn't stood the test of time in lots of aspects but a worthwhile watch all the same.

Is there any other old classics out there worth viewing now?

If it's Meenagh, I don't understand why get rid of Tally. Surely drop him into the backroom team, same with Gilligan.To me u need be going with someone higher profile if u getting rid of Tally in that fashion.

I think it maybe depends on the attendance though? I've definitely seen them closed when there's a full house, like a final. Suppose it's to prevent everyone congregating at one end.

Not much of an achievement lifting that Micky mouse cup

Glenellys biggest achievement in their history would be lifting that Mickey Mouse cup.



Aren't we living in the Glenelly golden age at the moment? Been hearing this Glenelly team are up and coming for the last 10 years.

Quotemuliple times under muliple usernames I've set out my positon against yours and all that happens is you start throwing around insults and name calling... which isnt debating and as you already say 'your answer is the only answer' so it's pointless.


Perhaps you'd like to explain how, for the first time in history, Russia will abide by the terms of any 'negotiated settlement 'with Ukraine?

Does your negotiated settlement involve Ukraine  ceding territory to Russia, and abandoning the millions of Ukrainian people living there, knowing as they do what is happening to them there?

edit: Does your plan involve trusting Russia?

Another good win for Dregish last night. Few big wins in the last few weeks
