Paging Eamo (or anyone else): 8:00 flight from T1 on Tuesday...what time should one arrive and is the fast track security worth bothering with?

Game over it would appear.
What changes would you make though? I thought most of the starting 15 did well. It's more about tactics for the next day but it's a bit late to make major tactical changes you'd have thought...
Losing two line outs 7ms out is pretty criminal. Surely you have a well planned move for these occasions. Terrible stuff.Last edited by V for Vendetta; 24-06-17, 09:14.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

The difference would be the players would be in a position to win some of the kicks and the midfield partnership would have a clearer idea of what to do in attack. Schmidt isn't all out attack but the attack would be a bit more intelligent rather than off the cuff stuff. It's a great ABs team to be fair playing very well so who knows.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Weather, sand, sea and chilling out the biggest wants.
There are loads of places to eat up there and more for a relaxing holiday. BUT Cafe del Mar is also up there if you want to sip cocktails and hang around the area. I know my cousin went there in April and loved it.
If you want quiet then that area is the best to go. I wouldn't recommend staying in Buggiba but St Pauls bay and Mellehia would be fine.
There are a zillion buses to get you to anywhere else in the Island and if you fancied a trip to gozo which would cost you €9 return MAX for BOTH of you then it's a handy area as it isn't too far.
There isn't the same building work up that part of the Island so will be more peaceful and if you fancy a night on the tiles jump on a bus there and a taxi back would be €18

If tbey had converted that try chance in the frst couple of minutes, it might have been tighter but still same result.
Given the posession the ABs had, the result isn't all that bad imo!"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I'm certainly not having a pop at the Lions and how they played today. I give them a lot of credit. The second test selection will be interesting.
Japan v Ireland was a cracking game this morning. Well worth catching on YouTube for those who didn't watch it live. Japan played much better and Ireland were ruthless for the first half but then faded a bit in the second. Some great young talent coming along nicely.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

High hopes for this new fad, wine finished in whiskey barrels, it's not out here yet but a friend got one signed by the winemaker and brought it to me as a birthday gift last night. I pretty much only drink gin, wine and whiskey so hopefully combining some of my favourite drinks works out all right.

*Poker talk*
SPOILERBlinds 75/150
CO makes it 450, button calls as does SB & I make it 2150 from BB with KK.
CO flats and button makes it 10k, back to me and im trying to figure out if he's an evil genius with AA.
Eventually decide he's not so ship for 33k. CO insta snaps and button tank folds after sticking in 40% of his stack.
Now im cursing the evil genius in the CO with the AA. He then rolls over 77 and spikes the turn
No value in poker these days lol.

He has nothing to show for it though. I think that is the only thing he regrets. Being an arse once you don't kill anyone. Well....you can stop being an arse and get new friends anytime. I do think he wishes he had put something away though. And he literally didn't ..nothing.
Question would you guys keep all your mates if you won the lotto?

Originally posted by GimmeabreakYes, that's it. I've been meaning to open it for some time and had a few milestones where I wanted to do it but for one reason or another I didn't.... Now Or Never winning her group race was the first one, then selling her was the next one, then thenew house and I started renovating straight away and I didn't want to open it in a messy gaff and targeted some time after i'd that work done, and sure then we sold Night Of Glory earlier in the week and got a touch so I figured the time was now.
I had rack of lamb, new queens and green beans and mangetout (rodney) for dinner. The sweetness of the lamb fat gushing around my gums and then washing it off with the vino was splendid. I'm going to enjoy the next two glasses over the next hour.
I've a Riedel Ultra Magnum which I bought as my 2015 x-mas pressie. Costs about 350 from Mitchell & Son but its a fabulous piece of kit. I rinse it with water after every use and stand it on it's head to drain. Then every now and then I give it a deep clean with hot water, white vinegar and rice; swirling all that around for a while as it gives it a proper clean. I've been meaning to get a decanter stand for it, might go looking now.
bastard to clean though!"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
