These new Covid strains are getting worse and worse.

Jaysus, I'd love a pint in O'Briens right now

I've already told my wife to beat me to death with a spatula if my mind goes late in life. Genuinely would prefer to be euthanised. Plans to move back to Switzerland in later life? I drove past the Dignitas clinic once (intentionally making a detour) - most innocuous building you could imagine. I w...

I said the same to my wife but I noticed the way she looked at the spatula and went hmmmmm, I think I just gave her an opening/alibi Yeah, doesn't count if I can't fin...

The auld ones in our office (60+) here have just popped out to get their first jab of the vaccine. I'm eligible in about a month, I believe, but won't be getting it as I am an anti-vaxxer

First memory - Ireland getting tanked at the Parc des Princes some time in the late 80's. I have a vague memory of Sella, Lagisquet, Blanco, Camberabero playing rugby as if sent from heaven. Happiest memory - Ireland's 2009 Grand Slam from a rugby perspective - otherwise the many nights out in Rome/...

I've only seen perfectly cromulent uses of the word.

Lads, can ye please sort yourselves out so I can home and have a feed of pints in Mulligans?

Going to be 18 months between seeing family and friends back home

Congrats, Nardol

Lets not pretend that doesn’t happen, and when it does it’s understandable to think that some ROI posters enjoy sticking the boot in.

No, it isn't - it is idiotic. It is extrapolating a broad church of opinion from the vocal minority.

I'd echo Leinsterman, Fogs. Sleep is utterly essential - perhaps your wife and you can give each other time outs for naps, but sleep is simply a physiological necessity and its absence is a stonewall mood-shifter. Try and give yourselves personal time, too. Don't use it to go to the pub but make sur...

I'd say jail in the Caymans is a laugh though

They have the best marionette theatre on the island, bar none.

Cayman. Planning a triumphant and permanent return to civilization in about 2 years.

That can't be real, surely

Congrats, Nardol

I quite like England's draw so I think I'll support them at RWC 2023

Glebe to Coogee is a very specific commute, though. I'd say on any given day you could be one of maybe a couple hundred people making that trek, in a metro area of 5 million people. As said above, you have to appreciate that Sydney is really a bunch of different cities all thrown into the same spac...

Randomly ended up in Brno a few years back and loved the place. Surprisingly affluent with terrific history and very decent food and nightlife.

If I was to choose between Cork and Galway, I'd go with Cork every time. Galway is hyped up beyond belief particularly by people from Dublin. Cork has a lovely European feel with the narrow streets and outdoor dining. Cork is a crumbling dive. Half the buildings are decaying and the layout is an ut...

I'd pop in a nomination for Miami.

The true victims of the pandemic.

Catastrophic for the players involved but, unfortunately, it's really not surprising given how professional rugby has developed over the last 20 years with the increased emphasis on collisions. The drip feed of that style down to the lower amateur leagues is really why I retired a tad prematurely at...

Meets certain criteria for randomness but is driven by an algorithm, I think.

A good friend of mine has met Aung San Suu Kyi a bunch of times (he's very senior at MSF). Typically a chilled, placid chap, he enters a genuine rage at the mere mention of her name.

"An utter cunt", in his own words.

Ah, ok. I'm no longer a moderator but think I still have access to the Modcave so will drop a message in there to get them to expunge you from existence*.

I find his style of text-speak more troubling than the content, to be honest.

I forgive him.

Lads, cause du jour - when do you put up your Christmas tree and accompanying decorations? My wife insists it should have been yesterday whereas I'm a 12 days before Christmas man. Beginning of December is the earliest I'd tolerate really, even that feels too soon. Usually mid December. I'm with yo...

An uncanny resemblance to an 8 year-old Zappa.
