I have a bad deviated septum in my nose and really can't smell for shit. I mean I can smell a little bit but my face pretty much has to be in something to smell it. I can barely even smell my own farts anymore unless they are extra rotten and that is depressing. Am thinking I should perhaps get thi...

Can't remember Noel Reid playing 13 for Leinster. It's prob happened but can't remember seeing it. Will be a test for his improved defence... We have 2 great defensive 13s in ROL and Ringrose, but no harm to see if Noel can do a job there. Ball in hand, it should suit him. ROL isn't a great defensi...

Massive demonstrations going on. The PP government, which itself has a questionable mandate to take such a hard line, given their small majority, is driving people into the pro independence side. In huge numbers. It's crazy. There needs to be a vote of no confidence in the PP and somebody elected w...

Seems a poor show that the Catalan government and Madrid can't come to some agreement for holding a referendum. if Whitehall and the Scots can manage it, anything ought to be possible... Whitehall wanted a referendum because they thought there would be such a conclusive 'no' vote it would put the m...

That's not the army, nor Guardia Civil. And I don't see any violence whatsoever. From what I read on this thread it's like people was eager to see riots in the streets. It's being all quite peaceful from both sides. Tense, but quiet enough. There is no chance of there being riots. None. So I presum...

Crowds building around Gran Via

These are (almost) certainly from today and not "BS"

No army out, but Guardia Civil is out in force. WTF? Do you even realise that the golden patch and colours (red and blue) they are wearing are from Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police)? I even doubt your photo was taken today. Stop spreading BS... You're right - I didnt spot the patch on the left sid...

Central Barcelona in gridlock with demonstrators. Puigdemont has just given a fairly defiant speech, accusing Madrid of illegal interference and actions without legal basis. which, let's be honest, he would do. Says, no matter what happens, referendum will go ahead. I have my doubts. Rajoy saying yo...

Police are apparently raiding regional goverment buildings in Catalunya. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41331152 mmm, I'm watching on twitter #catalunya and it's escalading. Already 5000 protesters on the street and it's mounting. I think this could be a day to be remembered in history someho...

Does nobody else think the fact that referendums are illegal in Spain is absolutely ludicrous? Yeah, been kind of bugging me that people have been saying "it's not legal" as if that's just some sort of coincidence.

They're not. Central government can call a referendum. Regional governments of autonomous communities however are on much thinner legal ice if they call one.

Not beat down the Estatut, with which the majority of Catalans were happy and all parties bar the PP voted to permit. Well obviously the majority of Catalans were happy with it!

Still early but NFL ratings showing signs of rebounding. Last year I was of the opinion that wall-to-wall election coverage impacted ratings more than anything. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2017/09/18/top-exec-at-fox-sports-upbeat-about-nfl-tv-ratings-rebounding/ I've not seen too much o...

If Catalonia wants to be independent, history shouldn't matter. They've got their culture, their language and little by little an invisible frontier has been built between them and the rest of Spain. They don't watch the same TV shows, don't read the same newspapers, don't vote the same political p...

Anyone with any knowledge of Catalonia, if Madrid goes nuclear in its dealings with the Catalan government and/or ignores the referendum, how likely would this situation be to turn very nasty? The reference to Madrid is weird, very much the way they like to identify the enemy in Cataluña. The gover...

At the end of the day what independentists catalans are looking for is more money. They just want a larger slice of the budget. If you give them more money separatism is dead. The rest is fake news. There's a lot of truth to that. Or at least there was. I'm not so sure anymore though. A lot of peop...

There are so many factual errors in this, I wouldn't know where to start ... Yep. Lapped up everything they told him in Cataluña..con patatas. We'll, I'm Irish so to be fair they had me at patatas.

He needs a lot of work. Can't go through progressions at all and has happy feet. Not every college QB develops the ability. In the meantime the playcalling could be helping him out a lot more.
