Kerry district league division 1B need to hire Armani to sort out scheduling. That games played column is distressing to say the least.

Yeah it's a joke. To be fair to Ardfert they won the GAA Intermediate All Ireland so obviously they were concentrating on that. A lot of it has to do with bad pitches too. We play on an astro pitch at Killarney Celtics top notch facilities so we can get games played. Other teams have A and B teams but only have a small pool of players which makes a B team pointless.

And GAA will always take precedence down here. Especially outside of the Kerry soccer team and the Premier Division which makes it hard to get games played too.

Season 4 finale of Breaking Bad

SPOILER

seems an absolutely perfect ending to the story, wrapping up just about everything thats been of importance up to now in a satisfying way.
Is it a good time to stop or is S5 worth watching? I have a sneaky feeling that a further season would be slightly artificial and just creating plots and antagonists for the sake if it.

RIP Gus Fring, one of the coolest TV villians of them all, and kept his tie well knotted even in death.

You might as well watch it now, just don't bother watching the final episode, stop after watching the episode called ozymandias which is a fitting end. The final episode is all sorts of shit

Kerry district league division 1B need to hire Armani to sort out scheduling. That games played column is distressing to say the least.

I was only thinking the other day that you just don't get that in the top leagues anymore, used to be quite the norm to have teams with 5+ games in hand at this stage of the season, and even more in the lower divisions. Now even Div2 in England has everyone played exactly 35 games.

At junior level can be fairly easy to happen without it being any football administrators fault. I remember the first U18s team I played with it and we had Albert College in Glasnevin as our home ground. And we basically struggled to get a home game from November to March because of the new parkie, literally every Friday you'd get the Herald (pre internet) to read the pitch updates and it'd be called off, sometimes the only corpo pitches that'd be off after a seemingly dry balmy week. Other times there'd be no notice but when you got out there Saturday morning he'd be there saying 'sorry lads too much rain overnight, pitches unplayable'. Lazy fucker clearly didn't want the hassle of having to do even the most minor of work on the pitch post game.

So we were always the team with 7 games in hand by April, but it did at least lead to lots of Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday triple headers when the evenings got long, which was fun.

Local Texaco which is about 100 yards away from my bedroom window decided to use a mega decibel petrol power washer to hose down it's canopy at 7am this morning, waking the whole fucking neighbourhood up. They were at it until 9am.

My wife was in the spare room last night, I was trying to give her her first unbroken nights sleep in over six months and these pricks ruined it.

Why is an Australia v India final now 50/1 in places, while still 8/1 in others? Are they going to more than likely meet in the SF or something?

Winner of Pool B (India if they beat Ireland & Zimb) is in the same side of the draw as the runner up of Pool A (almost certainly Aus).

Theres a thin case for saying India wouldn't mind losing to Ireland, both for lols in that it would fuck up Pakistan but also that they might prefer the path it would give them.

Win the group and they'll likely have England quarter final and Aus semi final who both owned India recently and would be at home in the conditions. Be runners up and they'd have likely have Sri Linka 1/4 (generally superior to and the ground conditions will favour neither) and New Zealand semi.

Projected likely draw if India win group, swap with South Africa if they get runners up.

New Zealand V Pakistan/Ire/WI.
South Africa v Sri Lanka.

Australia v Pakistan/Ire/WI.
India v England.

Although I don't do much scarf shopping. Maybe chickens dressed in scarves is just the way its done now.

The French used to routinely throw a cockerel onto the pitch during rugby games but it seems the practice is largely gone now. So as an ode to the practice i acquired one to remind me of such a simple but brilliant thing.

The yolk didn't look runny in that pic. I hate when the bottom is overcooked. I like my eggs nice and white with the yolks cooked but runny. I can not stand an egg if there is any clear in the white at all. I am the fussiest egg person I know.

Finding International Wimmin's Day a tad annoying. Especially on twitter. There are clearly vast swathes of the world where wimmin's rights need to be hugely improved, but it seems to have been adopted here by already successful wimmin arguing they would be more successful if it wasn't for the evil man-system that keeps them down. I just don't buy for a second that this is the case in modern Ireland. Its quite distasteful really.

Also it was primarily femmins campaigners who took away our highly promising Arthur's Day, so think we're allowed to be a bit grumpy towards them.

Nah, use a soup spoon.

Perfect fried egg (imo): Tablespoon of olive oil into small pan, heated on full blast until almost spitting. Turn heat down to medium, crack egg into small saucer then gently tip into pan. When it turns completely white gently shake the pan so the egg separates from the base and swims in the oil*, it won't re-stick.

Tilt the pan and use a soup spoon to pour hot oil over the yolk, do this regularly but not constant. After about two minutes the edges will crisp up nicely. Lift off with a slotted spatula and tilt the oil off.

Sprinkle a pinch of parsley onto the yolk.

Dip warm buttery toast into that runny yolk and enter heaven.

*Back of a spoon does the trick nicely.

Doesn't sound nice at all! I would do the spoon hot oil over the top etc but never ever in a month of Sundays make the egg flowery (??) round the edges!

In class if we did that we were forced to make the eggs again!

[oleras]

That yolk has to be busted and mixed in with the white, be it in the pan or preferably in a cup before.

And well done, a good fried egg should be able to be bounced off a wall.

Just on eggs I thought I would tell a tale of my culinary event class.

Two of us plan a 5 course menu, order all the ingredients and allocate jobs and ensure all runs right on the day. Our soup was

"Mushroom, madeira and thyme soup with a confit egg yolk"

After the event people come and eat the food and make comment cards. One ready about the soup..

"Didn't try the soup due to the raw egg in the middle!"

These were 3rd year culinary students who were told and shown the menu saying that haha.

For those who don't know, the confit egg yolk was cooked at 62 degrees in duck fat before being placed in the centre of the soup.

Believe me, if you tried one of my eggs when done right (difficult to perfect) you would realise how wrong your teachers were.
