Oh - and two episodes into latest Curb Your Enthusiasm. Brilliant again.

Just binge watched both series of Titans. Didn't expect to get hooked as I only started it as there was nothing else I fancied watching (didn't fancy starting something new to me of many series) but I did get hooked. I like the fact that they don't explain everything but hint at things that get exp...

My very first job as a 16 year old was as a cleaner in a shopping centre. The women's toilets were always far, far worse than the mens. On several occasions I just refused to clean them. I found turds on the floor on maybe 5 separate occasions. It seems haven't changed. An email went out only last y...

I've never experienced such wonderful levels of Schadenfreude. Good for the game that they've been caught and properly f**ked over for it. No sympathy for them. Their championship wins are forever tarnished now, and I include Europe in that. They didn't qualify for it through legal means, so they sh...

Finally got to the end of Succession’s 2nd season, what a brilliant show. Easy to tell that the creator worked on The Thick of It and other Iannucci related things but rather than just being targets for satire the characters have some real depth - despite being relentlessly horrible cvnts. 9/10 wou...

This is going to be a shit game of rugby isn't it?

Finally got around to watching Succession. I'm 7 episodes into season one and am utterly hooked. Fast becoming one of my all time favourite shows. What a horrible bunch of plum the Roy family are. Really unusual to find a show where there are no likeable characters, to be so engrossing. Kendall is ...

Hmmm. I can see that kind of see where you're coming from, as you're not as far along in the story as I am. I doubt you'll continue to see him as such.

I was never worried about being tackled thankfully. I got smashed a lot and dusted it off. Making tackles though ... jesus christ. Every single attempt was an embarrassment. Such a wimp I still cringe when I think about it. Needless to say.. after about 4 games in a school team that could barely fi...

Stath Lets Flats. Jesus christ that is uncomfortable viewing in the best possible way. Hilarious and uncomfortable all at the same time. Just finished second season. It's gold. Yeah i love it Found it because I'm a fan of Nadja of what we do in the shadows She's just awesome She's hilarious in both...

Not wanting to re-ignite the Tool/Dream Theater thing, but Tool's title track from the new album Fear Inoculum was released yesteray (maybe the day before?) and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to hear the rest.

Favourite album so far this year though?
Feral Roots by Rival Sons.

I'm 5 episodes in to The Boys. Starr is stealing the show for me. He's terrifying. More than a bit of Tom Cruise about that psychopathic smile that he does. Big fan of the comics and must say, I'm very happy so far for how they've executed it. Definitely closer in tone to the comic than Preacher was...

Regardless of whatever mishaps screenwriters had (and they were legion, particularly in the solo films) Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine was good. Good enough that I'd hope they steer well clear unless they have someone even better lined up. I'd like to see Tom Hardy give it a shot, but probably ca...

Lads, it's all about the land leaguers. Absolutely bursting with flavour.
I could eat an unhealthy amount of them each day. Can't harvest too many at once or they'll all go into the steamer and I'll end up a fat wit kant.

Growing my own this year and had my first dig at the weekend. Very happy with the results.
Can't beat new season spuds with a big dollop of real butter.

Really enjoyed the opening scenes that were clearly a nod to the first episode and the arrival of Robert to Winterfell. Thought it mirrored it all very well and set it up nicely in a "here we go again" kind of way.

Nope. Hasn't played there at all really since he moved to Leinster.

Once for Ireland on his debut back in 2013

Splendid idea!

Ireland for me. MSF for charity.

Wales by 3
Ireland by 9
Scotland by 18

Captain Average

If I were a betting man, I'd be backing Wales to beat Ireland and England to win the championship.
I'm not a betting man though, because I'm consistently wrong in my predictions.

I bloody love this weekend, signals the start of the build up to 6n for me, it's better than christmas. The ref will suit our spoiling of the Exeter ruck so we should play for territory and make them have to play a different style, I reckon Munster by 10+ Yep - from here on, the weeks will fly. By ...

Captain Average

Shouldn't be looking to contain them, we should be going right at them from the beginning. Let 'em know they're not getting their way early.

Captain Average

Wimp!

Anyway - back to the game. Bookies have Munster at -6. I'll take that.
Granted, I see next to zero rugby outside of Munster or Ireland matches these days, but i'm confident that the team we're fielding is good enough to beat whomever steps out in Thomond Park at 5:30pm on a January Saturday.

No fear of food poisoning in there ffs. You might get stabbed, but the super chip is worth the risk.

Missed that Rhys Marshall is back. Great news. Love his all action style when he comes off the bench.

Not the best pay in the world, but great work/life balance and quality of life.

I've just had a dry Christmas and it was great! Gave up the booze with the wife when we found out she was preggers. Feeling great for doing so. Way healthier. Used to drink two nights a week before giving it up. When kid is born in April, i'll not be going back to such frequent drinking. Maybe once ...

I'm allergic to paying full price for a game these days. I normally wait for them to be a few months old and much cheaper, but I couldn't wait for this one. Download should be finished when I get home. Wife and child going on ignore for a while now.

Will be worth seeing if Ruskin and Morgan can make an impact; both in the frame for England against the Saffas. How's Mike Haley been getting on? Haley has been very mixed, I would be on the side of giving him more time to settle but he is already being written off by some Not impressed at all with...

So I borrowed a mate's VR headset for the PS4 and downloaded Resident Evil 7. I was not prepared at all for how scary an experience that is. It's f**king intense. My wife, who often utters the phrase "don't be such a pussy", wouldn't even go into the house. "Why would I go in there? I'm not doing it...
