And the Heathrow outage, the online banking crashes, the french railways having cables cut, drones over the airbases etc. That's nuisance stuff- not sure people have the stomach for the proper stuff. It would be so easy and so low tech to cause lots of civilian disruption to way of life. A couple o...

We've too much coast and not enough boats. Simple as. I've seen it myself personally- earlier this year doing some work in the south Irish Sea, we came across a raft of about 50 buoys tied together under a net about 30 miles offshore. We went to have a closer look but the skipper would not even ent...

Otherwise, take your point.

Slightly shorter flight duration too, I didn't think anyone could be friendlier than the Spanish.

So we should spend a fortune to train them for another nation's health service? And I don't think Duff suggested they be forced to stay, just forced to pay for their tuition if they chose to leave. I mean they go to Aus where local doctors are all paying off their tuition so it's hardly like it'd b...

The new population growth numbers came out yesterday. https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0826/1530216-cso-population-figures/ The media have focused on the numbers going to Australia, US migrants here and the drop in other international migration. That'll keep the left happy. 10k coming back fro...

Eddie was too conservative. Dempsey got a million caps under him for example . Anyway, i enjoyed the interview he did there recently talking about his time in the lions. I didnt see the Oz v SA game but i assume ppl have noted that Oz are probably battle hardened after the lions and SA are only sta...

Video going around of Kielty interviewing M Martin about the previously proposed and quickly shelved "living wage". Must be fake surely?

For Nols I hope the new shelter at the swimming area on Lough Owel wasn't done by the mob that did the Dail one.
Water levels very low too.

What was the final score? I think 45-5, they had zero set piece, killed at scrum, lineout and terrible at receiving kickoffs. I would love to see the possession stats we barely had 20% ball. Given how long SA were camped on our line our defence actually wasn't terrible. A few players looked decent,...

Didn't do much with the penalties we got, thought do he wrongly pinged us for offside a few times.

The Irish are, as shown by every RWC. The British sides normally do ok when the pressure is really on. At a very high level… England and Wales tend to perform with pressure on Scotland and Ireland categorically do not. Wales under pressure have failed to avoid the wooden spoon, had the winning ment...

That not one person on the board can say anything negative about?

Does that show exist?

Rory Best couldn’t hold a candle to Jerry Flannery when they were both competing for the same spot.
Flanners was only good for kicking Frenchmen.
Dirty job but someone has to do it.

Anyone who thinks AWJ was a better player than POC is a moron. Says the guy who was adamant that every Munster hooker known to man was going to supplant Rory Best in the near future between 2009 and 2019.

Hoping st pats can match it tonight and beat Bestikas (unlikely).

Sorry... :lol: At least you didn't add that east Africa, where quite a few slavers originated, is well known for distance runners. I thought about it but refrained on grounds of historical inaccuracy. My impression's always been that the slave catchers/sellers to the European/American Atlantic slav...

There's a reason Mayne never got the VC; and that's because, allegedly, he didn't fight like an English 'gentleman' preferring to kill German soldiers when they were asleep in their beds rather than charging head first at them 'Commando' like. Now, now .He killed Germans, Italians by every and any ...

Imagine if Beirne had been lost to rugby because of some idiot in the Leinster setup, possibly our greatest lock/ backrow ever, actually no possibly about it he is.

England and Borthwick the future. France decider will be tricky but they look handy enough for a 6N win.

Seeing this I looked at the Warriors forum, Scotland definitely dark horses again.

Ah. In the style of Gerry Thornley: Across every facet of business and life there are loss-makers which need to be supported but, ultimately, cold, money-based decisions reflect the world we live in and Munster are hors de combat having misjudged the zeitgeist. Nah, the psychic ebb and flow around ...
