"We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil -
When I was younger I had a drunken sword fight on those trains (with actual katanas) running up and down the length of it. Now it's illegal to buy swords and you can't even drink on the train, what a dark timeline this is.Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostSo I am going to Galway next weekend with my rugby-trip crew, heading on the train. All set for the usual wine and cheese consumption onboard.
Or so we thought.
Nanny state bullshit!

I had an angiogram yesterday too!
To cut a long story short 16 months ago I had a weird episode while out running (HR spiking high and finally fainting) had it looked at and nothing was found.
Over the last few months I had a few runs where I go out and after about 1K I'm not able to keep up even a slow pace. Then because my watch has a HRM I notice that the HR is lower than I would expect for how hard it feels I'm running. Normally I go out and HR goes straight up to around 140 stays there for a few minutes and then moves up to between 170 where it stays or ticks up to about 185 depending on how hard I'm working. But on this day no matter what I do if I break into a sprint or try to jog along steadily the HR does not go above 140. Walked and jogged on for a while and on cooling down and having a shower HR went so low that I needed to keep moving around for the watch to record it.
Didn't know what to make of it but after a couple of days I was feeling grand so went out again and was fine but then it happened again a few times so went to the doc a few weeks ago and on to a cardiologist. With insurance I was able to see him at my leisure and organise all the tests to make certain there are no blockages. Was able to have that yesterday and was delighted that its all clear.
Leaves me with a weird electrical problem that isn't clearly diagnosed but it seems that its the kind of thing that people get pacemakers put in for. As it only happens when I'm running we are happy to leave it with me pulling up and taking it easy on days that it happens and if it is something that progresses then we'd look at putting in a pacemaker but he wouldn't expect that for a long time yet.
Main take away for me out of it is that you cannot afford not to have health insurance. Because it didn't appear urgent I would have had to stop running, just in case and wait at least 18 months maybe twice that to see a cardiologist and get an angiogram and the rest of the tests that rule out a serious issue.Turning millions into thousandsComment

Is that not a crazy bpm to be pushing your heart at? Just a quick google suggests that a recommended maximum of 220 minus your age. Now I know we joke a lot about you looking older than you are, but you have to be at least 50.Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostGone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.Comment

Three female Munster fans on the Luas earlier
No 1: Is Johnny not playing 'cos he's shit or injured?
No 2 & 3 : *Laughter*
No 2 : Where's the really cool cocktail bar?
No 1 : Liquor Rooms, it's on the quays
No 2 : Is it
No 1 : Yeah
No 2 : it has really small cool chairs
No 1 : Looks like a circus? That's the Liquor Rooms
No 2 : It's great
No 1 : I got kicked out of there with Lisa
No 2 & 3 : What? Why?
No 1 : Me and Lisa were drinking and they gave me a bottle of water when I went to get a round in. They said I had too much to drink. Then charged me for the water. Told I didn't order water. Bouncers and all were over and they made us pay for the round and when we finished, they asked us to leave after.
No 3 : Jesus
No 1 : It was grand, we were in a few weeks later, ordered a load of cocktails and left without paying
No 2 : How did you manage that
No 1 : Easy, table service. Order, drink and leave before they ask you to payComment

I just finished watching the delayed coverage on TG4 - obviously Leinster are rock solid in defence and always look great, but was pretty impressed by Munster too. Was I imagining things or was the ref a bit tough on Munster? Felt they might have been a bit unlucky...Originally posted by Emmet View Post

Rarely seen an entire audience leap to their feet to ovate like that.Originally posted by CourierCollie View PostThat Hamlet was an enjoyable enough way to pass a few hours of an evening. Really didn't think it was anything special though.
The rush to get home and have an early dinner meant I had the kind of indigestion that could easily be mistaken for a heart attack, which was a bit of a distraction. That, and the fact that I find it difficult to sit still for more than 30 minutes didn't help.
Just a reminder that it does indeed start at 7. Don't be one of the gobshites that misses the first half

Originally posted by Emmet View PostIt was tasty alright but at the end of the day Leinster only had max 5 starters of their current best 15. McGraths first start after a long injury layoff. Leavy and SOB only playing their second game of the season. All in all a grand workout but you wouldn’t be drawing too many conclusions from it. I was surprised how much Munster went for it with Exeter away next week.Originally posted by ionapaul View Post
Lowe is some finisher and Joey played very well behind a good pack. Leinster haven’t played anything close to their best yet but it is only October. I think Munster are evolving their game which is overdue and most welcome.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis KhanComment

Great contest you can't help but like Ferguson. Pettis was incredibly happy for someone who lost and broke their hand.Originally posted by Hectorjelly View Post
I suspect that in spite of losing, McGregor will be delighted with the aftermath. Everything scummy he has done prior to this is superseded by Khabibs reaction now and he comes out the good guy.Comment

People bought into Haye v Bellew twice and that was the ultimate farce. Hype something up enough and the hoard of wide eyed CHD's of this world will come in droves.

I agree there was more security than ever before, so how they let it happen is beyond me, but can't for one second believe it was orchestrated.
Ferguson is next, so ufc probably praying for an upset and for him to beat Khabib so that Conor can come back in play. I don't really see a different result if they did it again. They've always kept Khabib away from Conor, as they knew Khabib doesn't match up well at all for him. Khabib is a nightmare for most fighters tbh. He's just a beast.Comment

That's a nice result to wake up to. Didn't mcgregor call someone a bitch for tapping before. Lol. He might have to rethink that.Comment
