He learns from the best!
Some Republican members of Congress accused Clinton of using the airstrikes to divert attention from ongoing impeachment proceedings that had been lodged against him. (The day before the strikes took place, the Republican-led House issued a report accusing Clinton of committing “high crimes and misdemeanors,” related to the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. The charges centered on a sexual liaison in the Oval Office with an intern that Clinton at first falsely denied had taken place.)

Have personally written off the season myself and am somehow trying to convince myself that I haven't wasted my money and time travelling to Racing next week.

My nephew was christened there a while back. Do you think Priests get thick at the mothers when they swan in and haven't a breeze how to say a hail mary?
Must be kind of galling for the priest.

The train journey back is usually somewhat less boisterous. Usually fuelled with equal quantities of white wine and coffee.

With only nonsense fa cup soccer and magners rugby on over this weekend it's a perfect excuse to take an hour out to get an entry together for the 2020 Multi Sport Competition.
Not the easiest comp to get an entry in for (requires some effort) but gives a huge sweat in every major sporting event throughout the year.
Entries by Friday 7pm.

The most galling thing is for parents to just rock up unnanounced with their child without having met with the parish team or without even making any prior contact with the church beforehand. This us usually travellers and scrap iron ryans(my term for close to travellers, feral a touch of romany about them.) but some general lay people also. Its such an ignorant thing to do especially if there are 3 or 4 simultaneous batisms going on but they are always accommodated.

Originally posted by rounders123 View PostAh not really they know the majority who turn up for a baptisms arent regular church goers so there is plenty of tolerance. Moreso dont be chatting like your in a pub. This goes for weddings also. They usually do 3 baptisms at a time anyway and sometimes its not even a priest as a baptism minister can perform baptisms nowadays. Baptism ministers can be married.

TBH, beyond the machine-like excellence of Leinster I've been most impressed with Ulster this season. If they stay with the inevitable Clermont frenzy next week, I wouldn't think it impossible for them to go down there and sneak a result."We are not Europeans.

Tom Daly gave an interview talking about being a professional trainer in his last year at Leinster. Not much has changed on today’s evidence.
Now I know Connacht are missing a lot and didn’t prioritise this game out of the 3 interpros but still this is the sort of beating that kills momentum in a squad.
The question for a third choice Leinster player is can they develop better at Leinster playing occasionally and being very well coached and winning or playing more frequently as a second choice player in one of the other provinces. Based on munsters performance yesterday and Connacht tonight I think staying in Leinster is the more attractive option.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

- if you want to play for Ireland...you have to be playing the big games for your province
- Financially, it has to be better to be a first teamer at another province than a squad player at Leinster
Although maybe you are just trolling the non-Leinster folk in which case I applaud your efforts."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I do think the IRFU should use 'more persuasive' means of getting the Leinster second string to move out to Connacht, Ulster, etc.. and get their regular first team play in. No idea what can be done though, obviously family ties and other relationships will mean lots of players are happy too be a small fish in a big pond rather than the reverse.

I think there's natural equalisation at play anyway. If Leinster have insane depth at, say, prop then you'll see people moving on for action\money. Somebody who's genuinely international quality won't sit there for years playing the odd game and silently funking for injuries."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Beirne *
@Connacht
Thornbury

Roux (ish)
Daly
Farrell

It's actually as healthy a system as it has ever been in terms of inter-provincial movement at the level where the guys need gametime to support the Ireland Squad! When queues are identified (Sexton / Carberry / Byrne, or SOB / Murphy / Leavy / VdF), new routes to gametime have been found for players, and it's actually worked quite well so far!

Is going to Connacht going to give him a better chance of playing for ireland. For the young lads with big ambitions I’d be slow to leave. For the Tom Daly’s, Jordi Murphys or even Tadhg Beirne it’s obviously a good idea to leave but if you’re honest those guys just aren’t quite international class. They are all just missing a little bit. Daly is too brittle and injury prone, Jordi is neither big enough or dog enough and Beirne is just too short.
But for the likes of Doris and Connors why would you leave when you’re on the fast track? No amount of IRFU persuasion would make me leave if I was either of those lads.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan
