      Kids already warned that summer holidays will be in Ireland next year.

      It’s actually great fun. A pro tip is to book a few sports massages at the local spa/hotel as soon as you get there to ease the calf and thigh pain from snow ploughing for 5-6 hours in the first few days.

        Just off a final conference call and feeling the same way. No fucking thanks for doing anymore anyway!

                    She was a stunner, I remember her in the 70's and was still not terrible looking. She was known to have a tiny waist in her youth and wild and beautiful. She had it all! bitch haha

                    Fuck me, just watching Episode 9 and half way through it.

                          There's free gift wrapping set up in all the shopping centers in Malta. Not used it, but very handy!

                                  not really true. resorts in the pyrenees are not very expensive and if you stay away from the big resorts, it can be very affordable, especially for beginners who don't need the 500+ kilometers of slopes. Plenty of small resorts, very family friendly in the southern alps also

                                        I suppose it makes sense to just withdraw €1270 of BTC and buy it again to avoid tax now, it doesn't "carry over" I take it.

                                          With the premier league being 25 years old this year i Have seen a few sports shows/people giving their best 11. Haven't agreed with most of them but while I've been trying to think of my own it's impossible to pick an 11 worthy without leaving top players out. You could have a few teams that could be considered a PL best 11. Anyway here's mine

                                          Schmeichel. (Pretty much no contest imo)

                                          G Neville. Keown. Vidic. Ashley Cole.

                                          Pires. Keane. Gerrard. Giggsy.

                                          Bergkamp. Cantona.

                                          I went for a physical team that also has skill. Lee Dixon unlucky at RB. Left back is no contest also imo for consistency. Always loved Pires, even though there have been an abundance of talented RM in the league.

                                          Anyone else wanna throw one up?

                                                                          Edwin van der Sar and Marc Overmars sacked him, and appointed Michael Reiziger and Winston Bogarde instead. It's a funny old game.

                                                                              I would have Veira as a way better player than Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard who always get eulogised.

                                                                                The Apprentice

                                                                                SPOILER
                                                                                Even moreso than the last couple of years, the show seemed so scripted this year, and the final was no different. Do people actually go into a process like this without having a name, a logo or a vision for their company. Seriously? Elizabeth looked like a plant, and half the other idiots just looked like actors too. The worse series of the show, with the worst candidates by a long way imo.


                                                                                Peaky Blinders

                                                                                SPOILER
                                                                                Not quite the barn-stomping finale I was expecting and glad to see that Arthur survived, but Tom Hardy was a boss and played the part of Alfie so well. Seemed a very rushed episode that should have been 30 mins longer though. Getting a little more difficult to take the Peaky Blinders serious when baby faced Finn is the 3rd in command, so they really need to bring in some henchmen and get them more involved in the show. Wonder if Al Capone will make an appearance in Series 5 or if it's just a name drop to kill off Changretta?

                                                                                                          bang average in context of goals/assists meaningful games. But but...... that the one time he scored against arsenal in the fa cup ( dining out on it much)

                                                                                                          Most over rated premier league player is Ryan Giggs. When that league was shit he didnt even do much. give it a rest.

                                                                                                          Pick a paper team with Bergkamp and Giggs so. clueless.
