Are you in a swimming pool on your phone surrounded by half naked rugby players?

This.

Get some selfies to go with that shower can photo.

[shrapnel]

Sitting in a Jacuzzi with three girls when Tommy Bowe and Jamie Heaslip walk by you to the steam room is some sure fire way to feel inadequate.

i used to go to the same gym where the Leinster boys train. Definitely felt inadequate when they're in the changing room also. Those guys are ripped!!!

Ha, yeah, splashing and frolicking.

To continue the posts about grease I love burgers from Counter, dat toppings.

You haven't had a burger in years, no point even trying to pretend otherwise. No meat, no burger.

He did have some weird pair of sock like things on. Didn't spot his name on them.

They're all getting in and out of a big wheelie bin of icy water. S.O.B just got out of it.

Weird seeing these guys up close, pity I know feck all about the sport to have even small talk.

Remember about ten years ago in the merrion playing cash with Leo Cullen and BriAN o Meara and another leinster player.
Jim Delaney is playing he played for leinster about 40 odd years ago.
Bit of small talk about rugby and he roars jesus Mick to me hows the tag going i must admit feeling a bit unmanly.

Went downhill Mountain Biking at the weekend here in Calgary on "Moose Mountain" about 30 mins from Calgary. Volunteer Society created and maintains the trails.

I'd never been before... fucking terrifying. First kilometre of my first trail was madness. So steep. Decided to take one for the team and walk it after I came off an cut up my leg pretty badly. Once things got a little less insane it was a great experience. Zipping along trails through tree's, into valleys and clearings and skidding around turns. I'm fully sold on it. Weather was 28 and blue skies too so the BBQ after was glorious.

Trails took about 45mins to 90mins each top to bottom, just awesome.

Mountain was free and bike was 30CAD to rent for the day. So reasonable and so accessible. I haven't been in Ireland but I can only imagine it'd cost 10 times that to go for a day somewhere.

Is he still playing at all? I remember he was a nightly reg where I first started playing, one of the few enjoyable ones to have at the table!

Biggest difference is that we had flourishing IT and Pharma industries. Greece has tourism and shipping.

All burgers are shite since the batterbuger was canned in me chipper.
Still the ol spiceburger is still going strong despite the demise of Walshes

[elbows]

BK do the best fast food burgers by far. Chicken Fillet "Cough"Beshoffs.

Bunsen wins best burger by a long way. Five guys is ok but similar to Jo burger,GBK Eddie Rockets.

McD's burgers are flavoured cardboard.

Playing golf all day. What happened in Greece did they put a dome around it yet.

Season 1 was a bit Meh imo. It just seem to rush to conclusion. Season 2 seems a lot better so far. Season 1 still worth the watch though.

season 1 was pretty phenomenal apart from the last episode. critics are slating season 2 which is why i haven't started it yet. Happy to see people are enjoying it.

Seen an ad after the news at 9, that fuckin eejit Mick Wallace saying he would love to be Minister for Justice, switched channel straight away, couldn't be listening to that. He ran three candidates in the locals, none were even close to being elected. Don't think he'll be returning at all with a bit of luck never mind in cabinet.

I just didn't get into season 1. Took me 4 attempts to watch it. And I usually love those kind of shows. Don't know why this one didn't do it for me. I'm still glad I watched it though.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Episode 2 is out? Sweet. I think Farrell will be very good.


There are 3 packs of tic tacs in my house, can't find them, damn them all to hell.

[Guest]

I don't get why everyone loves the biker episode from True detective S1. It was a nice slow burning show and next thing mconnaughy turns into Jason Bourne. Got back on track after that (aside from final episode hiccups)

Season 2 pulling me in so far. Farrell showing what he's always had,gets no credit in this country.

SPOILER

shame the sky announcer completely spoiled the cliffhanger while the credits were playing though

I made a wonderfully tasty Spanish chickpea casserole tonight from the Cornucopia Cookbook. I had no idea aubergines or courgettes could be tasty. It was an unqualified success, other than the fact that it took me 2 hours to make and 7 minutes to eat. Still if it stops me from eating from Umi Falafel 5 times in one week as I just managed it's a good thing.

also recently discovered that courgette is sound, sort of takes on the flavour of what you put it with or at minimum doesn't offend.

had quorn for the first time tonight in a chili, was grand, though a bit different.

Data analytics.

They would search for keywords/tags connected with the product/service.

So 'whats for tea' would push IPB way up there.

Are burgers going to be Greece's new currency?

We'll pay the IMF Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Anyone wanting to back against Hitch's lock of the year?

Paddy Power giving 5/2 on a Greece Exit from EuroZone (and adopting alternative currency before year end..)

S&P says the probability of exit is 50%

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its sovereign rating on Greece to 'CCC minus' from 'CCC', saying the probability of Greece exiting the eurozone was now about 50 percent.

Who to trust, PP line setters, Hitch or the S&P?

No idea what I would set it at. Tsipras isn't using this as a test of whether they're going, he's under the delusion that it'll give him a stronger hand to negotiate with. Quite likely he'll be turfed out and negotiations will start again with someone else. You'd have to think if they're leaving it's being they're being forced out rather than by choice.

I have no idea why the left were so eager to adopt these guys anyway. Left / Right / Center what all Greek governments have shared for a long time is incompetence and a lack of will to tackle the corruption and lack of responsibility in Greek society. You have to remember that the Greek electorate seems confused on the issue too. They elect Syrzia to get a new deal but no seem ready to baulk at going all the way.

Do you reckon Sinn Fein are coming to the same conclusion? I imagine they are, judging by their silence. Alignment with Syriza would be toxic in the context of the next election.

Greece is the new Wimbledon.

Greece apply for a new 2-year bailout.

Tsipras thinks he's served an ace, but Merkel's found a majestic return!

So they want a whole new programme. Without the IMF. And with a nice big writedown up front.

Great to be in a position to make such demands.

Ironically the IMF were probably their best friends among the Troika, certainly in terms of debt relief.

Arguably, the IMF will be absolutely fucking begging the EZ to agree. They're already sick to fucking death of this nonsense. They're apolitical, they're operating way outside their comfort zone here, especially with regards the actual sustainability of the debt!

They want out imo and fast!

Don't think they'll ever get involved with anything Euro related ever again.

Hi Macs. Long time no see. Nobody plays poker anymore. Nowadays we talk about sports, politics, tv shows and food.

Speaking of food, what did you have for lunch? Any plans for tea?

Have the option to buy whatsfortea.com for peanuts. May need a lackey partner to handle the technicalities.
