Am thinking of heading to the US in the summer for my holidays. 
Maybe a week in New York and then onto Vegas or LA for a week.
Virgin are currently doing some good deals for getting to the us but am having trouble finding a good deal to fly internally in the US.

Any of you know of any airlines that do this, ie the US equivalent of Easyjet or Ryanair?
Thanks in advance

Folks, Car Insurance up for Renewal at the end of next month.

Quinn have come back to me with a quote but I think I can get better. 

Where is the best value?

i can't believe someone would actually give you a quote in the first place!!!
Do you not have a history revloving static objects...ie bus stops

Was at the match, still shaking from seeing it.
Unfortunately they were unable to revive him, with a young women and fella putting in some sterling work!!
It sure puts football into perspective!


May he Rest in Peace

Am told Hughes in camlough are refusing to take anymore bets on Cruppen for the u21 championship.

Thats probably becasue Hughes in Camlough is a supermarket u numpty!! 
As far as i know Boyles in camlough don't think bets on any GAA regarding local sides.

I don't know how good Cruppen are in comparison to previos winners Benny, but I would say that winning the u-21's is a good barometer of how they would fair at senior.

They got to the final beating no one of consequence (including the harps who were poor) and benefited from the stronger teams knocking each other out, but the record books aren't going to highlight that.  Having said that they seem to be a club on the up.

Who would you reckon the stronger sides are???
Cross got beat by granemore, kileavy beat granemore and Cruppen beat kileavy.
What makes you think they wouldn't have beat Cross?
Only other team of note is Dromintee, who Tir na Og beat and Cruppen beat them handy.
They also beat Cullyhanna well up there after them drawing with the Ogs.

Don't really see where your coming from benny

Great result for cuppen obviously, but they aren't a good side, any winner of the previous 3 or 4 years would have give them a right tanning.

Yeah your right benny - this is obviosly a shit side!!  Shit sides do normally win county championships  
Suppose it is unfortunate that they beat your beloved harps

Catch yourself on and give credit where its due, they are definately a good side as it showed yesterday and in previous weeks.  They are now our county champions, and derservedly so!    

All this and only 3 out of the starting line out not available for next year.  Well done lads.

UP THE CRUPS

NAKA,
Yeh they played Keady last weekend, But they have to play them again, Ballymacnab have already played cruppen twice and got hammered on both occasions,

V Cullyhana
V Keady
v ??

Cullyhanna on sunday
Wolfe Tones - some night next week i think
Keady Following Sunday

I heard it was off because the lights at the bridge weren't ready.
I was waiting for complaints...

that couldnt be right as the u21 team trained under them last nite

Is true alright - we got a text on monday evening saying our match was off due to floddlight problems.
Maybe theres a conspricacy against the crups going on??

Pints - wat are use at??

[and there's no excuses]

Still hopefully they get the games played and there's no excuses for anybody.

From what i can gather, the county board could hinder them as all Carrickcruppens refixtures have to be agreed by other team and if they dont want to play it then they dont have to and therefore 'Cruppens chances are limited.  Why couldn't the county board make other teams play if not then 'cruppen get the points, as (ard mhacha abu maybe can back me up here) & say off all games outstanding, none were called off by Carrickcruppen.

Yes this is correct - one game was called off by ourselves due to a death in the club, can't mind which one but i think this has been replayed.
Two of the outstanding games were not cruppens fault - we travelled to keady, lined out and the referee failed to show.
We also lined out against annaghmore but they failed to appear, referee was there and the ball was threw in.  This match is down as a re fixture, you would think that two months after it the county board would have sorted this situation out, either we get the points or we don't.

The other fixtures we fell behind on were due to championship replays against Clan Eirean and Tir na Og.
These replays forfeited us the chance to play matches on the friday and sunday of these weekends.
Surely as the fixture pile up is not cruppens fault a bit of leway should be shown by the county board in reguard to getting fixtures played!

Bridge beat Cruppen in the B league final - 5 points in it.

Bridge prob deserved there win!! Some strange refereeing decisions!!
Hardly matter but there were only 3 points in it at the end though.

Dry yours eyes winsamsoon!!  I was answering your question for you. 

yeah beat st.peters 3-14 to 0-7

ref blew it up early on the advice of st. peters players!

they said to him if cruppen go more than 15 points in the lead blow it early and he did!

Winsamsoon - this is diesals orignal post.  Don't thik there is anywhere that would make you think it was any game other than the cruppen, st peters one!

"Diesel smuggler with what are you refering to when you say there was 5 or 6 mins left?"

I think this is self explanitory!!

On another note.  What were the county board thinking in assigning Gary Smith (tir na og referee) to referee this game when cruppen are to meet portydown in the championship in the next few weeks.  At least he had the sense to ask another ref to do the game, whom by the way had a decent enough game.

Quote from POG
"I've noticed you commenting a few times on Cruppen, I take it you're from there, even though you wouldn't tell us.
And to think when you joined the board you were slagging of the bridge for being an intermediate side  "

Don't know who QUB is but surely the bridge are an intermediate side because they participate in the intermediate championship.
Cruppen are competing in the Senior championship therefore they'd be classed as a senior side.
Don't know - maybe i'm biased

Annaghmore failed to show against Cruppen last night with both the referee and Cruppen in attendance.
