He looked like a feckin woman too. Cooper in drag.

Cheltenham 1966 - Arkle's third Gold Cup. I was there for Best Mate's. Not the same though - a bit like Tyrone winning three All-Irelands - some kind of freak event.

To be in Spain when Armstrong scored must've been some feeling for the supporters.
Packie v Romania
Anfield 89
Ali-Foreman

Fearon was there in Spain with the gawa and it's a game he'll never forget.

Scientifically speaking, it would be easier to build a time machine to go forward in time.

So i'm headin to Old Trafford on Saturday 16 May to see Man Utd beat Arsenal and win an 18th league title, which will hopefully shut the Liverpool fans up for a while....

Then i'm going to September 2035 to see my son score 3-10 to guide Fermanagh to their twentieth all-ireland title....

You wont beat Arsenal to win it so you might as well just skip on another week wjen you have that time machine!!

Were the only team allowed to win title's at OT and WHL oh and when i'm at it Anfield....Imagine we have won the league at WHL more time than the Spuds...lol

Ant VS Dec the teams

Farrandeelin · February 21, 2009, 12:09:23 PM

1936, 1950 and 1951 AIFs. At least I'd have been happy after those All-Irelands. Someone mentioned a future time machine, well it'd need to be a bit unpredictable but it's the next time Mayo win the All-Ireland, whenever that'll be.

Get her a good service before you head off, Farrandeelin. You could be a long time on the road.

Take care...
Advice from a Meathman is like an invitation to supper from the devil; caution is needed.

BTW, I see on another thread that your job is going in September. I'm sorry to hear that and hope you get fixed up real soon.
Remember that life goes on as normal where appointed teachers are concerned- some will be retiring and being replaced by others in the normal way.
If you have a competent principal at present or you can contact the INTO rep, find out, coming near the summer, when the panel is cleared. Then start applying and get your CV in fast to as many advertisers as possible. Being a teacher with some practical experience, you should rate highly at any interview you are asked to attend.
Right now, everything is up in a heap and the most confused head around the place is one Batt O'Keefe.
By the end of the year things should be a lot clearer and your present principal or someone who knows what's happening in other schools around the locality may be able to point you in the right direction and put in a word where it counts...
That's the way things have always operated and probably still do.

Brest of luck at any rate and here's hoping you see Sam heading to Mayo real soon.
The highlight of my sporting events will be the time John O'Mahony will turn around, look me in the eye and say, "Well, which of us is clueless now, ya thick, ignorant f**ker?"

October 14th 1908 to see the Chicago Cubs win their last World Series.
