Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

[RichieM]

Writing an article for a rugby magazine, have to edit it, clean some bits up and flesh others out a bit but this is rough draft to the first half. Easy enough to follow so far?

Can you relate it back to the teams - Munster teams big heart idea, Argentina's massive jump forward, Wales somehow consistently winning grand slams or the kings of culture in the west taking down the pro 12 against vastly better equipped team on paper. Perhaps something on how big the challenge on melding a lions team together is because of the different cultures.

It is a very good piece on the theory but I think somewhat lacks the proof to back it up. Since it is very tough to do statistical analysis to add weight case studies might be the way to go.

Added bonus of being able to get some nice visuals to add to the attraction of the piece.

Thats a very good idea v. Base it around cases/stories of players. Like Michael Lewis in Moneyball.

'... Bob [insert actual player, actual story] wasn't meant to be a great player, he was a scrawny runt who spent his childhood primarily battling a runny nose and waiting longer than was normal for his balls to drop. What happened to him on September 24th 1998 though, he later said, was the making of him as a leader of the sport...[insert transformational story that largely captures the point you want to make]'

I'd read this and I don't even particularly like rugby.

South of Kilcock near Donadea forest. I'd love to catch up when you're back.

Have any dogs? Wife is a groomer about 5 mins from you @ Clonfert Pet Farm.

Nice enough area overall. Thought I was going remote moving to Straffan but would prob go a little further from Dublin now that I'm used to it. Not that I plan on moving anytime soon if I can help it. Painful process.

weekend baby! tough three day week that

Going to the Munster game tomorrow, thankfully will have a translator with me.

Plan to just repeat the word "ligind" to any enquiries

It's the catholic church. They discriminate on the basis of gender in the construction of dogma ethos and hierarchy. They run their agenda on this basis too.
I do agree with you which is why it can't be owned by an organization run by men and dominated by men.

It's a maternity hospital. It shouldn't be own by an organization that discriminates against women and by an order with huge history of abusing them.

I do appreciate the number of men who put female and male patients needs and humanity above religious dogma. But none of these men are likely to become nuns and own this maternity hospital.

That is actually discrimination I think men should be allowed be nuns if they want to!



You would rock a veil Mellor!

I would make a great pope ..but it ain't going to happen...but fair is fair it's a private religious institution ..that owns some of our public services...

What I am saying is women will never get to shape that on an equal footing.

Umkay ..Imma done now.

SPOILER

I would be crap as pope ..i know..

The church shouldn't have anything to do with it. But that's unrelated to what I asked.

I found it weird that you think women should run it because it's a women's hospital.
Sure the best health is a mix of both sexes. Excluding top quality care from women for the sake of girl power is a very off brand of sexism.
Kinda ironic also.

Not at the minute. I love dogs but hate cleaning up after them. We'll probably get one when my daughter starts plagueing me for one.

At least you're doing it the right way round.

Where can one watch a game of hurling this weekend in the Dublin area? Even if it's some shitty local teams

Let me have a look. The Dublin GAA site was dreadful for viewing fixtures last time I was on it.

Any part of town suit particularly?

EDIT:

No hurling this weekend apparently Doug, sorry. Football Championship starting up.

Watching the RTE news there and there was a segment on some National League final on in Croke Park on Sunday between Galway & Tipperary. Must be a mickey mouse game if Keane is dismissing it though.

Not being smart but what is the point of dog grooming?

Have a dog and when he rolls in the muck I'll throw him in the canal... Or the bath if I have to.

Best place to park tomorrow for the Munster match? Travelling from limerick

[hotspur]

I was behind a car at traffic lights the other night that had this sticker on the back window. I hadn't seen or noticed it before. I thought it was brave, but did consider that it might annoy some people. Considering getting one for the bants.

Particularly like the #Abortion Discriminates. Makes no sense but likely to temporarily cause dissonance in the brains of some.

Well it was all good food wise with new friends. Him got drunk. Questioned my integrity resulting in a few neat drinks downed to establish the Irish reputation. His wife states that she has desire to have sex which must be sated. Well as I am writing this, wife is sleeping, guest went staggering home with his wife walking slowly behind. Need sleep.

Only do it if you are playing regularly and love the game. Compare the joining and yearly fees Vs the cost of say 30 or 50 green fees a year. Look at Golf Now Hot Deals for great deals on green fees.

If you are joining for social or professional reasons, yeah go get professional help.

One of the girls in work to me and a old Irish lad in his 70's on about how she has really been over thinking things, and we wouldn't understand as men probably don't over think stuff...


Me: fire, the wheel, flight... He starts to laugh

Her: "puzzled look"

Me: men over think everything, it's the reason we are the dominant species on the planet

Her: oh ya
