I always liked JC and had huge respect for what he achieved with the team and what it did for our country It's difficult to convey the excitement and happiness that the success brought to the people in our country. It was tangible. And all of that was largely Jack's doing. I heard him say that we di...

"intelligence" is anything but.

Disinformation is the "intelligence community's" stock in trade

I used to date a girl who worked at the Royal College of Music, and her name was Primrose (Rose, for short). Her best friend was named Poppy. Happy times. Good CofI names Willie....... usually filthy !!! They were lovely girls, TSG. I think they took pity on me. Ireland might as well have been Mars...

For me, Hadens cheating at the Arms Park in 78 leaves a bad taste.
He was an excellent second row.

The demolition job that he and a young Gary Whetton did in for Auckland in 83 Lions tour still resonates.

Condolences to his family

My understanding is that social distancing is regarded as being insufficiently observed nationwide. So more drastic measures are being announced tomorrow. I don't think anyone strongly disagrees with any of that. However, what you posted is almost word for word identical to a WhatsApp message my wi...

Vintners are going to like dogs over this directive to close. Supermarkets will capitalise as a result. I don't think any vintner is going to be stupid enough to try to flout the directive. Social media caught the goings in at Temple Bar, no vintner would be prepared to take the risk now I think. “...

Read the books you bought but hadn't the time to read when things were "normal" Get out in the fresh air Cycle even more, especially now that road vehicle volumes are down I've spent so much time on the exercise bike over the last two weeks it's crazy.

Cool air down till it liquifies and separate.
Main product is Nitrogen but obviously you'll get about 20% as Oxygen.

thanks UF.

I didn't know that Oxygen could be made

I cycled to work today. I didn't finish work till 7.30pm. Out of curiosity I wanted to see how busy the city centre is - so I took a spin down Stephen's Green, Drury Street, Wicklow St and walked down Fownes St and in to Temple Bar. Restaurants were quiet as far as I could see, but several pubs look...

Yes, the REPO shenannigans is simply a tucked away implication of the real underlying health of the markets - bail-outs by stealth. What was a punctual measure has now become de facto and is only increasing. Very sustainable. Italian bond yields starting to trend up a little, approaching 2% in the ...

Fair price discovery is proving painful.

I think that there is going to be more pain in store though.

Supermarket close by looks busy but it's no busier than normal for Thursday evening though.

Give quarantine/lockdown a couple of weeks and serious cabin fever is going to take hold for many people.

Yesterday at their press conference, I was slightly encouraged that the latest cases were still related to travel to Italy.

Obviously whatever new information was disclosed overnight to the health authorities has hastened this decision.
The right decision I might add.

Miguel Indurain

Looks like 9 new cases announced this evening are the result of direct travel to/from Italy, and/or from contact with people who've travelled to Italy.

No community transmissions disclosed today in the 9 cases - which is positive I suppose

Rightly or wrongly, Weinstein appears to the epicentre for all of the alleged abuse activity in Hollywood, so he is bound to be made an example of. 23 year sentence on the face of it looks like it's based solely on retribution and not based on his reforming his behaviour or on his cooperating with ...

Went to the cinema on Monday night with my better half, there were very few customers there (UCI Tallaght).
Spoke to one of the staff there and she reckoned that numbers are down due to Covid19.

We went to see Parasite, it wasn't a great movie in my opinion.

Stephen Donnelly TD. Is he ever not appearing on TV/radio? I know he's FF health spokesman, but he is a constant presence on every media programme like that other c.unt Brid Smyth.

Does this mean that between now and October we'll be required to endure having to watch the ad with the two Welsh inbreds and their dead mothers purse?

It’s hard to believe they let Cheltenham go ahead, and that people were irresponsible enough to not cancel their trips. They took foot and f**king mouth more seriously. Agreed. It beggars belief that the meeting went ahead. Traffic to and from Italy is the focus, but I think this country needs to v...

Here we are.. A warm "good day" to you all, from a country that woke up in a situation that no one would have ever imagined to be into - a month ago.

Thanks Lads for the suggestions. The trip is to coincide with a birthday, so it is on regardless of weather or SARS-CoV2. She is also obstinate. They will have a car for part of the trip to get out west to the cliffs. Consensus is Stephen's Green, Grafton street area for pubs, nightlife and maybe t...
