We have a 'diversity and inclusiveness expert' coming on Thursday to champion change.

No promotions for the fella's the last two years.

Not looking forward to going over the CCTV footage. I’m guessing the fake-out shin kick is going to be so telegraphed they’re going to ask why I didn’t block it :blush: CCTV footage is never good, because no matter how good you think things went in your head, it looks ridiculous on CCTV. Some twat ...

Eh, go see a trained professional! Re prepping for shoulder surgery; is it your dominant arm that's being done, Stjudes ? If so, practice doing things with your weaker hand. Brushing your teeth, wiping your arse, wanking etc are so difficult with your weak hand. I found that I had to loosely tie my...

Stjudes

In fairness it really reduced certain pain and I was hoping the surgeon would say the knife wasn't needed. How's yours when you roll? I hit the bags a bit but pals roll allot and it scares me so much to think of how much pain I would be in an arm bar. I can't even throw a tennis ball for the mutt wi...

Stjudes

Yeah, I've been doing that (hanging) since hearing it on JRE last summer, sadly it does not repair the tears or chips floating around in there.

Did terabands, loads of physio. The surgery has to happen just hoping that there were some pointerd on recovery.

Stjudes

Go to physio regularly, do what they say no matter what. Your recovery is only as good as the effort you put in to your rehab. Shouldn't be too much pain if you're careful about not moving or trying to use your arm for anything. I was hoping for a magic pill. After three Achilles surgeries I hope I...

Stjudes

Anyone any advice in relation to shoulder surgery recovery? I have been told that I need it, hopefully just arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Bone spur, tear in my rotator cuff to be anchored back, bits and pieces where they should not be. I have googled how long I will be out of work, Doc said a few w...

I am hanging from yesterday and dont want to drive to the pub to drink tea to watch it. Threw on the vpn and t...

Stjudes

Cheers lads, its on the back burner now as the mutt cut her paw while out walking behind the Springs.

I'll be in RAK next month for the 1/2 marathon so will possibly check out a few places the day after.

Stjudes

Watched The Disaster Artist lat night, great flick. Franco, who I hate, is class.

Stjudes

Good to know and thanks for the tip! May have to check it out one day, some of my favourite places to see around this region have been by word of mouth. EDIT... In Dubai I quite liked the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa Dubai, you get that desert nature vibe there and very peaceful. Wallah, any advice ...

Never been to Ziggy bay but Camping in Raz al Jinz has to be up there with the hotels. White sand bar with clear water either side of the dune, about 5-6 hour south of Muscat.

Stjudes

That place is a beaut, up there with the Chedi in Muscat.

Come on over, Tubogoat will host a 6 nations cabal/braai Might be a plan. Have a massive Braai coming up in Al Ain shortly, with a pretty solid rugby contingent. Nice to be out of Dubai, always a good atmosphere there. Nice set up in Al Ain, when I played there about five years ago now, team full o...

It's so so. Lived in a couple of places in the gulf over the past decade and each has its merits. Dubai's pro's are the driving isn't as lethal (still pretty bad) as Oman/KSA/Kuwait. Much better nightlife than the foregoing. A larger expat community then say Oman where everyone knows each other and ...

Have our party this Wednesday, got bought out by a big 4 two years ago, they are having their bash, us five are having our own. It will be a mess but have to be in Thursday.

I am doing a 8+ hour flight Friday morning and I hate flying sketchy but I love a pint too much so it will be a tough one.

Stjudes

Meant to be in Riyadh this week. We fly into and out of the airport which it got shot down near (so does everyone) however our firm as saying its grand, it accounts for too much of our revenue to care about people's safety.

Stjudes

RIP Silvergrin. Get down to the pound and give some misfortune a chance.

Stjudes

I thought Gosling was perfectly cast, a plank of an actor. Ford was more indie than decker. The hologram girl was the best bit and that's even with the good scenes cut out.

Stjudes

Visually amazing, the music was great too. Don't know how to do a spoiler but the whole thing just didnt make sense.

All the smut was cut out here.

Stjudes

Free food and booze, once not in KSA. Wifi and comfy chair.

Eithad Abu Dhabi is very good, ditto for the one they had in dublin. Havent flown them in 2 years though.
Next Oman Air, then HK and Emirates in Dubai

As an expat I think its a bit mad that I could vote in an election without paying a cent in taxation.

Terrible news, I have seen him at a few after dinner gigs and he's a hoot.

Trying to get a mortgage at present and Ulster seem to be the only ones willing. KBC said they will only deal if you have your salary paid in Euro which is no good for me. BOI want a 44% deposit (they sometimes ask for 60%). Meet with an AIB person in the branch who tired to sell me so many product...

Turbogoat, how could you forget the old model Lexus. Usually gold and windows tinted blacker than an AB jersey. They have scared the pants of me for years. Special mention for the Muscat to Sohar Route and DXB to AD.

Our GSD is jekel and hyde. She is wary of strangers which is normal however she is aggressive (barking only but with a gsd it's terrifying) to men. However its only when we are around. Shes great with other dogs and people when not there. We have seen this in action. Only yesterday I picked her up f...

Fair play to you, I did my masters a few years back in my mid 20's to slightly change career path and got into Law. F*cking disaster. I am far too young to be this burnt out.

Went to see them in Dubai earlier this year they were excellent, sure past their prime, but still amazing. [Globus Mode: Got comp'd VIP tickets, nic sofas and buckets of spirits and bubbles to keep the party going]

Visitors last night last night and we were all too shattered to cook so it was gluten free pizza delivery. Not used to such stodge so had a sore tummy all night. I would love a fish and chip but there is no delivery here. We get good burgers, with lettuce wraps instead of buns. Also the german doner...

Terrible news, class rider.

I thought Globus was self consigned to his own 'look at me' thread?
