Re: Ulster vs Leinster

Leinster D is good and took their chances well. Well pleased with being in front at halftime after being under the kosh for most of it. Won't hold out forever though. Need to be able to build a few phases much better than what we're doing. Izzy and Addison looking good for Ulster. Feel for TOB. Add...

Ireland is still very much in the hearts of Americans as a bit of a quirky backwards place with lots of lovely, friendly people. We now have plastered across social media, Irish people antagonising Americans with 911 vids. It's in no way a good thing. Perhaps it's time for Americans to realise that...

Re: That Amazon 'Lord of the Rings' miniseries

The rule of thumb was typically 10c per piece of Lego so a 1000pc kit would cost €100.
As HKL said, the merchandising rights add a cost to the kits, particularly Disney. They really lash Lego out of it with those rights, and in particular for the Star Wars kits.
