Good luck DP. Stiff upper lip.

Best of luck today DP.

Upcoming Gin & Tonic fest in Dublin should be a good excuse to get high titty in town despite the fact there's only three local gins being promoted.

[Raoul Duke III]

Last chance saloon for entrants to the Royal Ascot tipping comp.

750 guaranteed and a few others faffing about.

Here are the various deals on offer.

<smacks lips>

Damn, is it too early for gin?

[DMMurray]

I'm guessing that this might be a bit of a dummy run to gauge interest. If figures are good, I can see them going with a series when Alan Carr isn't doing his Friday night thing.

I'm probably completely wrong though.

Not a fan of Alan Carr at all. I'm guessing Graham Norton has the Friday night viewership locked up anyway. But I would watch Chris Evans if he makes it back properly.

So here's my week: Wednesday I check into Sports Surgery Clinic in Santry. Thursday I have bilateral total hip replacement. That makes me sound old, but the surgery is required for a hip condition I was diagnosed with in my early 20's. Anyway, the surgery takes 6 hours, which is a good bit longer than normal. They say Day 1 after surgery is tough, and they weren't kidding. Two sessions of physiotherapy already, where the aim is to start walking with crutches. Second session is so difficult I nearly pass out. This was without a doubt the most difficult day in my life.
Then, later on, the night nurse takes away my piss bottle (not the real medical name of this utensil, obviously) and tells me if I want to urinate, I have to make it to the toilet using the crutches. The bitch. I protest quite a bit because I've ony been able to take a few steps without almost passing out, but she's having none of it. So I try to hold it for a while, but eventually I have to attempt the trip. And with some help from said nurse, I make it there and back, with just a bit of shakiness. This was a tiny little victory, but I wake up today in a completely different frame of mind. Everything is easier today, and I now have no problem with the crutches. Still a long road to recovery though (staggered: 6 weeks - 3 months - 6 months - 1 year - 2 years).

Last night had the heaviest Garda presence I've seen in town, Scottish match hardly merited that?

Wonder do they just have the same team of people all on for today's game that worked last weekend. I was at the England game and I've never seen Garda presence like it in my life for a football game. You couldn't even get a pint before the match as they stopped the pubs serving till bang on half 12. You would have thought Scotland would be a whole other story though.

I'm watching back bits of TFI Friday. Watching the supergroup sing 'My Generation'. That is the best I have heard Liam's voice sound in many, many years.

Sounds tough, but recovery is probably easier in your 30's than your 70's. Hope it all goes well anyhow Derek.

Could have been, the Glasgow match in November wasn't exactly the sweetness and light that was reported, quite an undercurrent of cuntishness from the home fans. Maybe there was talk of some measure of revenge from the Irish. Also if any of the Scots went out in club colours or sang club songs (and that club is Rangers or Hearts) then theres always a chance that some of the townsfolk here may take unkindly to it.

Bohs and Rovers also last night, not sure if that would be an added factor.

[Wombatman]

Called out at 7.30am for a database problem. But it's ok because there's a kitty purring beside me while I work.

That's how Blofeld got started.

@Oleras...are you still looking for a soft top? You can have my Z3 for €1500 if you like. It's just sitting there, unlikely to be ever used again.

In the space of 5 years my sister lost both her legs and also developed breast cancer(beat it off) She refuses to stay in a wheelchair and took on minding a 2 year old last weekend for her daughter despite the fact that her hubby is in pallitive care. She's never done apologising for holding people up . I got manup flu last Jan and it nearly killed me If a zero legged cancer survivor can make her way I think you can. (not sure about me though, that manflu is tough)

GL DP have a great day

[6starpool]

Hopefully this match today will be much better than the game last weekend. I don't think we'll win though as we rarely do win these matches so I think it'll be a 1-1 draw as we always seem to draw these type of games.

[Solskjaer]

Dwight from the Office revealed the childhood stories of the Struwwelpeter , I had a good laugh. I presume you took your alias from that book? If so, why did you spell it differently ?

[6starpool]

Fair play Dave Grohl.

[LuckyLloyd]

We're pretty damn poor in most areas, find it hard to even get semi excited for our games anymore, Trap slowed down the decline for an admirably long time but cant see much hope for us for the forseeable future.

Not a great deal between us and Scotland, would say the match would see a large variety of different results if played over a big sample so could just boil down to who's hungrier or lucky this evening. Scottish camp seems slightly more spirited imo.

Worst Irish squad I can identify since before 1970 tbh. McCarthy strikes me as someone playing for Ireland who doesn't give a bollix.

But I'll still be roaring them on today. And fuck Scotland. Cunt nation who didn't have the balls to vote for their independence.

[DMMurray]

Sounds tough, but recovery is probably easier in your 30's than your 70's. Hope it all goes well anyhow Derek.

Thanks Dom. For the record I'm actually 42, which is probably higher than the median age here (which I'm guessing is about 35-38). But you're right - double replacements are usually only performed on younger people because the recovery is quite tough.

(not sure about me though, that manflu is tough)

Yeah, in the early days after I was diagnosed with my hip problem, I tried to never complain too much about it because I knew there were always people who had it much more difficult. Probably the worst thing that happened to me was that I had to give up all field sports, and that was mentally quite tough because I played a lot of hurling in those days. But that's a tiny complaint compared to what your sister has clearly had to go through. She sounds like a remarkable woman. Respect.

[DMMurray]

Thanks mate. I have a back-log on Netflix including Better Call Saul and a ton of others, so I'm sorted on that note.

Its a mispelling of one of the English language versions, Mark Twain's I think. I picked up a copy of the Heinrich Hoffmann original in a bring and buy sale when I was a small kid, I loved it and it freaked everyone else out. I used it as an alias since before the internet It fits with second name and the way my hair grows straight up.

My Bro in law got them both replaced when he was about your age eh was back to normal after about 4 months.
My father got one done in his early 70's and it took him a few years to recover properly, he put off getting the other one done and that left him completely fecked with pain and bed ridden.

[CHDad]

My Da got his first hip done about 10 years ago and they left one leg longer that the other.

They did the second one and gave him MRSA that leaks daily out of his leg.

One day I will find that surgeon and chop his hands off, cunt.

He's better than Murphy anyway and bailed us out against Poland. Deserves a start and let Robbie be the "super sub".

[Closed_Account]

FFS. Redic selection, when the fuck will Ireland accept Long for what he is, an outlet,the only real pace we have, an absolute workhorse, and at this stage head and shoulders our best striking option. Murphy. Are you fucking kidding.
