Any of you guys in your 50s? You need to ditch the obsession with bread as a staple, same goes for spuds, rice, pasta and sadly for many.....Guinness. Your ticker will thank you.

This is just one example.
No matter who you vote for it's a waste time,effort,thought. Whole thing is a charade.

Nothing doing unless the C.S. Or high level actors within decide it's in their interest. Our elected advocates might well blow and bluster but they just do as they are bid. They have their own families to rear and bills to pay and let's face it what would most of them do if they weren't in this business.
The more I watch the goings on the more I am disengaged from the whole idea of a UI. It has become little more than a romantic notion and a helpful distraction. Very sad considering the lives lost chasing it.
Never thought I'd see the day but I'm a committed vote spoiler now.

So what about Estate Agents, are they all slippery?

Quote from: DaleCooper on September 14, 2025, 03:00:24 PMNo. Cocaine USE. Usually alcohol is involved. It creates a compound called cocaethylene which is more toxic than cocaine alone, greater half life etc.

Ramps up chances of every heart issue like arrhythmia.

20x risk of sudden death compared to coke alone and alcohol is involved of half of deaths where cocaine toxicity is detected.

Not diagnosing Hatton, simply saying he was a known coke abuser and Irelands tradition of alcohol abuse is now being peppered with coke.

Its an incredibly worrying dynamic.
Dr Malcolm Kendrick's book "The Clot Thickens" gives a good low down on cocaine use and its effect on the arteries. Theres not half enough talk about it.

Wasn't sure where to put this. What a silly silly girl. More and more people are choosing to holiday in this place but don't realise how seriously they frown upon this stuff.
Them's the rules, they don't mess around.

Quote from: Saffrongael on August 22, 2025, 11:00:59 PMThought Dunloy were very sloppy tonight, I know it's early but still some warning signs there.
Or the SHC getting more competitive perhaps? What's not to like about that?

Its only human nature, we all take comfort from being part of a tribe or community. Plenty of us are able to laugh off the bigots on " our side" and it only takes a few to stir the shite.
So nobody breaks ranks for fear of being labelled this, that or the other and be cast to the wilderness. 
Pathetic really, and very well curated by our political advocates as it is the mainstay of their survival.

A troubled soul who hopefully might cop himself on in time. People like this are sadly almost always a product of their environment, not that that is an excuse for at some stage or another you have to own your own shit.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Yes its certainly looking pretty grim for us, after yesterdays performance its hard to see us turning a corner any time soon. We are no more up against it than any other club so cant really make any excuses.  As for our reserves, 80% probably never train so we should never have elected to play D3.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Quote from: Antrim Coaster on May 26, 2025, 11:39:47 AMThe general opinion in Tullamore yesterday was that the Offaly match would be Davy's last.

It's obvious that the Davy experiment hasn't worked.

Sambo's article wasn't too far off the mark. Any manager needs to get all his players onside instead of throwing lads under the bus as Davy has done. Antrim could have done with one of those lads yesterday who he ostracised after the Dublin match.

I thought Michael Kennedy gave Offaly that wee bit more, but he was correct when it came to the sending off as television cameras later showed.

I don't think the lad O'Connor is county standard, and his stupidity cost Antrim yesterday.

If Antrim had the 15 players on the pitch Id say they would have won and Offaly deployed their extra man in and around the half back line which Antrim had difficulty bypassing, especially in the second half when Antrim played their best hurling of the year. It was do or die at that stage.

Paddy Burke and Stephen Rooney in the full back line, Conor Boyd, Big Joe and Conor Bohill in the half backs were immense. Scott Walsh played a blinder, James McNaughton his usual excellent performance and Gerard Walsh fairly came into it in the second half.

However, Id question why Ryan McCambridge was deployed at full forward in the first half - his strength is in around midfield / half forward and why Eoghan Campbell was playing in the full forward line. Lads played out of position.

If Derry win the Christy Ring next week, there'll be 3 Ulster teams in next seasons Joe McDonagh.

Regards the next Antrim manager, Eddie Brennan's name has been mentioned. He hasn't been involved with a county since he was thrown under the bus by Wooly on his podcast.

Obviously, Mickey McShane will be in pole position. If he gets the job, Antrim will need to look at the U20 set up to continue the work that Mickey has begun at that age group.

Couldn't agree less with your take on NO'C. He is full of potential if he was allowed to realise it. Potentially fcuked up yesterday, I didn't see it first hand but as level a headed young lad you wouldn't find. Big Joe gets the headlines in our club but Niall is a way more consistent performer.

Some boys trying to remind them other boys that the big show was on the Eastern Front in 1945.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Whoever is stirring the pot is couldn't be more pleased with themselves!

General discussion / Re: Giving up alcohol
May 08, 2025, 03:41:24 PM
Stopped eating garbage about 4 years ago and while I have no idea if there is a connection, over time I am less inclined to want to drink as much as I used to. If I open a bottle of wine with the dinner more often than not it won't be finished(previously unheard of). If I pour a glass of whiskey, 1 maybe 2 will do me. Don't feel short changed at all.
As for the alcohol free stuff, I havent found anything worth the money yet. Its either watery slightly beer flavoured or syruppy sweet almost shandy like.
