No. Spectating tonight. Playing tomorrow for our promotion.

will you be cheering on Tralee in the Munster Junior Cup final next week? They were a great price in the semi versus Janesboro, think they might be underpriced for the final too.

[CHDad]

Sounds good. Love a bit of Liverpool F.C

[CHDad]

What do you think would happen if this tactic was employed:

1) Go 1-0 up in a match

2) Bring on two 7'5 tanks

3) Put one in goals and one outfield

4) Goalie drops ball onto outfielders head and catches

5) Repeat step 4) until final whistle

I'd break their legs too m8.

No buns today unfortunately. Had her cleaning the house so that probably tired her out.

Anyone going into the LGBT thing in Merrion Sq tomorrow?

Going out to Blanchardstown shopping centre today there were people handing out No flyers at the traffic lights to stopped cars. I was going to try and ask them to explain their reasoning for a No vote but the missus convinced me (by using the "I really will be annoyed if you do this" disapproving face) to put the window back up and ignore them. Not many people taking their flyers though from what I could see.

I was nearly washed away yesterday with the rain. What kind of temps you getting ?

26ish in the shade, peaking at 32-35 in direct sunlight. Pool weather

Yeah of course I'd like to see the Kerry team do well. They're just not a likeable bunch. I was listening to the Janesboro on the radio and sounded like they played excellent. Lost a cup replay last week to Killarney Athletic 5-3 on pens. Killarney Athletic just lost 3-1 to Listowel. Depends how playing two high tempo games might have affeceted them. Athletic gave them a right go over the two games.

Bit to mad to think how you can win the league every year and be a failure. I guess the manner of the CL exits really puts a black mark on his tenure.

Ya the manner of the defeats definitely makes it worse.

I saw them too, was wondering if they were No campaigners, was kinda dissapointed they weren't at my lights. They were on the bridge at EBay.

Was anyone following the 'My wife is dying' thread on boards, so sad.

just had a quick look at the thread and this post literally made me sick to my stomach:

I'm so sorry PTK. I know you'll have no regrets. X

I do have a regret though, I know it doesnt matter now but I wish my wife didn't feel so afraid dying. My wife was a catholic and believed to the end that she was going to hell because she had an abortion when she was 15. In her last days of pain and suffering she was terrified of being punished when she died. I don't believe and I regret and I will always regret that I couldnt console her or assure her that there was no such place as hell. I regret that her last thoughts were full of fear

don't want to derail from the topic but it's clear the husband felt somewhat similarly too. Say what you want about organised religion but using fear to control people has resulted in this woman living in fear and horror in her final days, fucking sick.

[dobby]

Yeah. Genuinely felt bad for the family when I read that she'd passed. Very sad thread. Hopefully the guy got some comfort from posting.

I was hoping to post this tomorrow afternoon but I'm happy to do it now.

Athletico Ardfert have a bogball match tomorrow and have just given us a walkover. Very late notice so we get 3 points and we get promoted! I get to play against my old club next season and win my first senior soccer medal!

Get dafuq in there!

[Solskjaer]

I always thought Limbo was were Spurs fans were sent when they died , until I thought about it rationally and realised they are sent there alive .

[Jam-Fly]

In fairness the one good thing that religion has is that for its true believers it makes them okay with dying due to the eternal life thing.

I seriously can't believe though that we spent a decent amount of time in school being taught about places like limbo, hell and heaven and then had to sit an exam on it. Its very very weird.

Has anyone ever described what you actually get in heaven? I guess its just a general idea that you feel amazing on an eternal basis. Hell was very specific with the burning, but heaven not so much. Limbo being some sort of temporary hell but that you could eventually get into heaven. But if you'd confessed your sins and said the required hail marys before dying then you could avoid the whole rigmarole of limbo and jump straight into the vip club. How was all that said to us with a straight face?

that's true alright, it was actually always one of the stronger positives for religion in my mind. Just sad to see that what was supposed to give people peace in their dying moments actually did the opposite for this woman.

on a lighter note, my Junior Cert year would've been one of the first years (I think) to have to sit an RE (religious education) state exam. For the pres, a friend of mine answered "Jesus" to every one of the short questions, and then for the long questions, wrote "That would be an ecumenical matter". Rebellious protest I'm sure

Im not getting that vibe myself.

No offence but as I explained its this kind of belief in the here after that caused my wife so much emotional pain before she died, her belief in the here after caused her more pain than dying did. I have as much chance of seeing her again as she has of being punished for something she did s a child.

Bit of a thanks whore though in fairness...

That sucks big time. Really hoping Waterford keep it together for the c'ship.

Westmeath minors beat Wexford by 2 points in Wexford today to make the Leinster semi final. Wexford only lost to KK by a point AET this year I believe. Laois also beat Offaly. Huge chance of making a Leinster final. Arguably our best minor team in 15 years.

sorry, when I said "the husband felt similarly too", I meant similarly to how I felt i.e. organised religion is a bit of a cunt for making this woman feel this way

[ComradeCollie]

oh 100% in this case. Just remember my grandparents going to meet their worms happily thinking: 'sweet: level up'

Bit unlucky that it wasn't next year, when priests will be able to forgive people for having abortions, a special 'reserved sin' they normally can't do anything about http://www.irishtimes.com/news/socia...year-1.2202404

[ArmaniJeans]

Senior infants teacher told us the Gospel in cliffhanger format, stopping as Jesus was on the cross and promising to complete it the next day. She actually told the story very well, was a completely natural racontuer - we were all on the edge of our desks.

So back home later and talking about what we learned in school that day and obviously my highly religious mam had to go and finish the story, but god bless her she didn't tell it with even a fraction of the skill of the teacher, butchered it really by summing up the death, resurrection and its meaning in about 90 seconds.
First time I'd been spoilered in hindsight.

My daughter at 11yrs old told us that she had a new boyfriend. When asked about a boy she liked before she said " I cant believe I wasted 5 yrs of my life with him! "

Its obviously a woman programming thing........

Has anyone ever described what you actually get in heaven? I guess its just a general idea that you feel amazing on an eternal basis.

I have a friend who, until recently, was a Jehovah's Witness. I think I wore her down over the past 2 years by constantly lol'ing at her beliefs (literally, I would absolutely crack up when I could induce her to talk about them).

Anyhoos, she has left them and is having to adjust to the possibility that there is no God, heaven, apocalypse etc. But she was telling me recently that she had previously fantasised about what her beautiful house would look like in paradise! That's pretty specific. Now paradise for them doesn't mean heaven as such, only 144,000 of them get to go to heaven. But after the armageddon wipes out all the non-Witnesses (Satan rules the earth and all the governments and all non-JW's are part of Satan's world) then all alive Witnesses and resurrected dead Witnesses will live in paradise on earth.

This going to be a Greeky weeky imo

From the Grauniad:

The epic struggle to keep Greece solvent and in the eurozone intensified on Saturday night amid signs of a looming crisis within the anti-austerity government that took Europe ablaze barely three months ago.

As prime minister Alexis Tsipras scrambles to secure a financial lifeline to keep the debt-stricken country afloat, hardliners in his radical left Syriza party have also ratcheted up the pressure. In a make-or-break week of debt repayments, the politician once seen as the harbinger of Europe’s anti-establishment movement has found himself where no other leader would want to be: caught between exasperated creditors abroad and enraged diehards at home.

With government coffers almost at nil and Athens facing a monumental €750m (£543m) loan instalment to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday, it is the last act in a crisis with potentially cataclysmic effect. Either Tsipras betrays his own ideology to deter default – reneging on promises that got him into power – or he goes down as the man who allowed his country to do what no other EU member has done: enter the uncharted waters of euro exit. It is a moment of truth with consequences far beyond the borders of Greece.

Reading back over the UK election, you have to be impressed by the sheer brutality of it. The decapitated corpses of Clegg, Farage and the fratricidal Milliband all lie dead while Cameron stands alone on the stage wearing the crown. Hopefully we get some of this theatre in Ireland next year.
