Folks if any of you women/men are looking tickets for Sat night's fight night in the Armagh City Hotel send me a PM and I'll arrange to get you tickets...I know they're a bit expensive at £30 but it'll be good craic seeing me on my back...and some might say "well worth it"

P.S. I've had the flu from last Thursday and it's not great preparation but I'll just have to do more hugging than punching...lol

as i says on your facebook, why is your rotten face not on the poster for the event?

Listening to five live. No he didn't celebrate. City fans also applauded.. Fair play cos I wouldn't be clapping a Barry goal!!

Think there'll be plenty of goals in this game

Fair play to the harps minors today. Cleaned the clans out round the middle and well deserved their win. Wasn't many plus points for the clans at all.

Good luck to the harps in the the rest of the competition.

its good to see a buzz back in the county final.  its been quite a while since i can remember so many neutrals looking forward to the final. just hope the two teams dont freeze like the minor final recently...

i take it the minor championship matches are going to be rattled off right and quick so their final can be before the senior game?

It takes an average of 37 days for an eye lash to grow before it falls out.

Mt. Everest is not actually the highest mountain in the world.  I forget the name of the highest from bottom top.

I think your thinking of mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. That peak is furthest from the centre of the earth because of the way the earth is fatter near the equator. But furthest from the earths surface is Everest.

aye everest is still the highest but not the biggest

Terry Pratchett is a very, very funny man.

Agree with some of what's been mentioned, don't agree with some, but Id like to add CJ Sansom, particularly if you enjoyed name of the rose. His Shardlake series is brilliant.

Yep, love all the discworld books. Extremely funny, and each a stand alone book so ya can just pick any one up and read it.

Was a major fan of LOTR, and Pratchett was recommended to me, they're kids books but readable for adults, which I didn't find with Harry Potter - just too childish.

On the other end of the scale, Mario Puzo is a great storyteller, and each of his books catapults you right into Sicily, or that culture, be it in NY, or wherever...

Recently have enjoyed A Curious Story About The Dog In the Nighttime (mentioned above) and The Book Thief. The latter was a very good read, and really original.

Want to read The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Have put off watching the film until I get round to it) and The Kite Runner.


Has anyone read Twilight series? Know a few girls who are crazy bout it. When I said I had never heard of it, they looked at me as if I had two heads!

very good book. film didnt do it justice IMO

Terry Pratchett - Discworld series
Terry Brooks - Shannara trilogy and others
Piers Anthony - Incarnations of Immorality series
Leon Uris - as mentioned
David Eddings - also as previously mentioned

There's also a series of books written about the SS Waffen on the Russian front - f**king brutally graphic, have the set (about 15 books!) at home in parents house, can't for the life of me remember the authors name

are these not weird as feck? and are there not loads of them, so where would ya start?
