What's the story with McRapist's case now? talk of possible perjury. McGregor "found" a neighbour who was agreeable to testify that Hand's then partner could have been the one to hit her, but they've backed out now, and it looks like McGregor is full of shit and lying? Allegedly, allegedly everythi...

They should have, and all refs should have boycotted the following weekend’s matches until Hansen was given the long ban he fully deserved

Correct.

One of the greatest ever Glastonbury performances in 1995. I don’t think many people will be looking up 2025 performances in 30 years. Maybe Ezra Collective.

Music Festivals are having a tough time to get anything resembling a passable lineup. This is Glastonburys worst ever. But the signs of the decline have been coming for many years.

To be honest, the main issue for this board is that most of us are just too old and out of touch for every act that's basically not a heritage band. I don't like the 1975 but they were good actually, far better than I expected. Are there any bands that aren't 'heritage' bands that could rock Glasto...

Definitely one of the best TV shows over the last 10 years. Surely the whole point is that the viewer is meant to feel the tension, stress and exhaustion of what it must be like to run a "Restaurant Gastronomique"...

Any recommendations for best takeaway fish and chips in Bray?

I’ve also come to the conclusion that ‘the Bear’ is one of the very weirdest shows ever . Sooooooo angst filled it almost makes me have a panic attack and I scream ‘calm the fuc*k down’ at the screen. Series 4 . I have no real idea whether I really like it or not - unique. So hyper real I kinda hat...

Rod is a mega rich geriatric Englishman who lives in LA.

Pretty shitty to see an act on the BBC this am say boycott Rod because he supports Reform. So do millions beacuse of the political vacuum.

Am I the only one who thought Ringrose looked better than Jones? It's hardly surprising when you consider that Jones is still a bit rusty after 2 months on the physio table. No. You're not. The way Ringrose is playing Daly will have to bench covering 13/15/wing. He's going to CTE himself. He’s an i...

Just seen a clip from some ‘artist’ called Bob Vylan. Me neither. Grotesque, coarse, vulgar and I’d wish he “shut the f up”!

From what I've watched, Amyl and the snifters and Pulp were top notch Pulp we're great, definitely were scheduled too early in the day.

Result largely as expected. Not as dominant performance as last time these teams met by the Lions but restarts apart they will be reasonably happy. Pollock and Daley best for me. Scrum not as dominant as probably expected. Just looking back through game comments. I thought Pollock was good, great r...
