They're being positive but he's a long way to go before he'll be getting out. Just catching up the thread, all the best to the lad, hope he's...

For me there is a clear divergence between where both countries are going and what the populations concept or vision is a 'fair society'. Alth...

Re: Ireland V Scotland | Contributions to the world
Trying to remember. Every summer during school I had to go to Connemara to Irish school to live with a native Irish language family and speak Irish. I remember the midges being awful. I'm from the midlands and they're not bad there at all, but on the west coast can be a pain in the hole. Okay, we'l...

Haining dropped after not being cited. Apparently due to illness. Can’t help feeling that’s a blow, and I rate Bradbury.
