Kingdom Hire in Markethill, he has a small family business that doesn't have the big overheads of the multinationals. I have got vans and cars of him a few times in the past and found them easy to deal with.

Brian Mc Alinden 1977,1st goal was a complete howler. Cork keeper in 1993 didn't cover himself in glory,think it might have been John Kierns.

It would appear he brother was into all kinds of everything

I am getting my house power washed today in preparation for painting.

I just arrived home and the guy was on my 3 story roof, soaking wet with a very dodgey looking roof ladder and not a harness in sight.

This got me thinking where do I stand with regards insurance for the painting, I have a standard home insurance. If this guy had slipped and was splattered all over my yard can he come after me.

Should I ask the painters have they any insurance before they start?

It has been shown on the LAD facebook page that this flag was burnt in Tehran in 2011 but shown on the PUP facebook page just to stir shit.

1983 National League Final Armagh Vs Down.

With my da and uncle.

8 years old.

Remember there was serious trouble on the train home and the guards had to get on somewhere outside Dublin and stay on it until Dundalk. We got of there as well but heard that when the train got to Lurgan it was burnt out. My Da refused to use the train ever again. 

Its a great city, ended there in 2004 by mistake and we loved it that much we have returned 3 times.

If you have a nice clear dry day then hire a bike at fisherman's wharf an cycle across the bridge and down into the small village of sausalito, it has some cool restaurants in it, then take the ferry back across the bay.

Alcatraz is a great trip, you should do it.

There is loads of great bars around the wharf, and there is a couple of good Irish Bars,  on Geary Street. Ireland's 32 had lovely staff and was great craic. Abbey nightclub beside Ireland's 32 was rough and ready but we had a great laugh in it.

Will be a tough game tonight but hoping to scrap a 2-1 win. Can see Stoke scoring though.

Not too bothered. Might be better out of it.

i disagree, with little chance of winning the league everyother competition should be taken seriously. If we win tonight there is a 50-50 chance of drawing sunderland and a great chance of getting to Wembley.

How can there be a 50/50 chance with 3 teams left?

"I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists. I tell them that I was also a terrorist yesterday, but, today, I am admired by the very people who said I was one."

RIP Nelson Mandela.

It's like the Father Ted line " is there anything to be said for saying another mass".

Richard Haass " is there anything to be said for having another flag".

Jesus Wayne Rooney's some pansy... what about the men who have gone before him!

In Ince's autobiography he said that during that game Gazza came over to him and told him he looked like a pint of Guinness.

. But I'm disgusted at the cynical fouling by Armagh and the clear denial of two goals by thuggish tackles. It pisses me off to see it.

Those deliberate rugby tackles to stop a goal need to be a red card and a penalty no matter where the foul occurs.
Did the Armagh fb get 2 yellows??

Longford player punching Lavery in the ribs on the sideline was the most cynical thuggish thing that happened at that match

Armaghgeddon, as an Armagh supporter for years, shit like your above quote only embarrasses the county. James Lavery acted like a complete Ballbag with his poxy dive when he got his ribs tickled. I question is this the same hard man that tries to bully young fellas when playing for Maghery but cows away from the tough stuff when required like tonight.

Shamrock Shore I completely understand where you are coming from with the cynical following, its not pretty but it is effective. You cant blame a player for doing it when there is no punishment for it and I am sure if Jamie Clarke was bearing down on goal you would rather your corner back stop him by whatever means.

This is an issue for the GAA to resolve but until they do we have to except it from Armagh and every other county also.

DrinkHarp, I have been on the Allupurinol for the last six weeks and have had only one flare up in that time. I lived for 3 years in the Middle East until last year and I only had one attack in that period. I think the warm climate may have been a help.

My booze intake would never have been massive, usually a few pints on a Thursday night which my GP said was exceptable but I have decided to quit it for weight loss purposes. I dislocated my knee and broke my ankle 6 or 7 years ago and I was wondering would weakness in them joints have an impact,my knee would pop out sometimes when i walk.

I will try the cherry drink but ultimately I need to get the weight back down to a more controlled level.

Guys I am new this board would appreciate any assistance anyone may have for me.

For the past 12 months I have been severely crippled with attacks of gout in both my left knee and right ankle. An attack can last anything from 5-10 days and can leave me unable to leave the bed for days at a time. I have kept a note of my attacks and have had 6 severe since new years day and 3 mild attacks.

I have been with three doctors and a physio, had steroid tablets, fluid drained from my joints and still it comes back. I have changed my diet to identify if there is any food that bring it on but cannot see any . Everyone advises me that it is a rich man's disease and it's to do with the amount of booze and good foods I have. Personally I think this is bollocks as I quit the beer at the start of June and have had three attacks since.

I believe my boss is losing patience with me for missing days over this and when I do make it in I hobble around site like a 90 year old man. I have put 3 stone on since January due to not been able to exercise, all I can really do is swim, and this has left me 4 stone over weight. But I am in somewhat of a vicious circle as obviously the more weight I have on the more it affects the joints yet I can't really exercise.

Has anyone out there suffered with it and have any advice on what I could try. I have gone and got the cure which worked for a short period, the steroids are working less and less on each attack and I am concerned of long term side effects of them.

Also has anyone used any diet or weight loss pills in their efforts to shed some pounds? I know they are no substitute for exercise but if they could give me a boost. Some people probably think it's nothing to complain about but the suffering has really got me down and now I am concerned for my Job.
So any remedies or advice on either the gout or the weight loss pills would be greatly appreciated.
