Sons is flying out early in morn from Dublin, saying airports all booked up including Clayton, any tips on what to do? Is there somewhere he cud just park his car and get a taxi?

take the bus, far less hassle

never take your own car to the airport, costs more than your actual flight on fuel and parking

not living in Ireland is a huge mistake and should have been prerequisite for getting the gig

you do not and cannot know what is going on in a country where you do not reside permanently

this is not a nordie dig either as he seems decent enough (not angry enough after years living in england  ;))

Koepka deserved that after what happened at augusta, owned the choke and crushed them this week,

5 majors wow  8)

LIV golf suits guys like him, fully rested and ready for the majors

he never bothered with the regular tour anyway

Why does Alliance HAVE TO decide to be Orange or Green?
Surely their whole point and reason for existence is that they're neither.

They can"t sit on the fence forever.

Some day soon they'll have to make a decision.
Unless the economy in the North is restructured to focus on the people the idea of a United Ireland is a delusion. The poorer the North is, the more likely the status quo continues.

the status quo is the only game in town for the vast majority of the north

change would require risk, they will never leave that comfortable space

a vote for sf is not a vote for reunification, far from it

LIV golf leading the way again in a major

Nah

;)

in all seriousness, it looks like arriving at majors fresh is the way to go (getting in them is the problem)

koepka big fav now, surely he can't choke again  ::)

It's time to put alcolocks on the ignitions

The technology is already there

Anyone who overrides it for a drunk driver-immediate jail time

Would you support mandatory speed limiters of 120kph/75mph on all vehicles too?

I know I would.
Not a chance. Modern cars can sit at 100mph plus very easily.

Would be in favour of the alcoclocks thing though

Good to see some posters haven't changed since 2015. In summary, man under any influence of alcohol is a menace to society, but man driving at speed kills no one.

It's amazing how some public health marketing campaigns work, and others do not.
to be honest it just depends on the person and circumstances. I know people that I'd trust to drive safer after 12 pints than some people do sober. Similarly there are people I could sit beside doing 120+ and feel safer than I would doing 40 mph. 70mph is a ridiculously low speed limit. Try sitting in the fast lane of a motorway at 70 and see how you get on

christ the night, what a statement  ???

but altogether typical

in fact scratch that, the whole post is outrageous lol

What sort of small minded mentality must they have to worship billionaires who look down on them from priceless golden thrones while people are starving on the streets? I'll honestly never get it.

It boggles the mind alright.
Nearly as bad as there being a 21 page thread about them on the gaaboard...

not surprised at all, most of this board seem to be watching it too  ::)

the road is not to blame, it's the drivers obviously  ::)

speed (mainly), impatience, bad decisions, phone use, etc all factors

self driving cars which actually adhere to the law cannot get here fast enough

to pass your driving test at 18 and have it for life is an absolute joke

of course everyone will say no to that because it's just too sensible  :(

Think everyone was over thinking it, Rahm the best player in the world & it's not particularly close at the moment.

yep best player won it easy in the end

saudis put up a good fight, 3 in the top 5

great tournament in the end
