I was thinking the other day about how do they balance the demand for chicken wings vs other parts of the chicken. The demand for thighs/breasts/wings is hardly in equilibrium.

Thighs and legs are an issue alright, but apparently they are popular in the export market.

Market prices suggest that breasts are most in demand by far. Thighs a bit back, and wings miles miles behind.
I definitely eat more "pairs" of wings overall. But the masses are shovelling down frozen chicken slabs made from 100% chicken breast. An odd label imo, purely driven by the fact breast is in demand

22/04 @ 18.58 someone selling their tickets. Would expect you'll get them as anyone travelling a distance might cancel those plans in lieu of a possible Wembley trip in May now. @LUFCSpares92 on twitter is the handle to follow near or on match day if still not got them.

Headed around to the local to watch the match. Depressing, if not predictable result.
Was the usual cohort, the lads that drink there 7 nights a week plus a few heads in just to watch the match plus a few randomers.
But one couple stood out. They were clearly on their 2nd or 3rd date. There was no 1st date awkwardness about them but there wasn't the familiarity of a 4th date or beyond, definitely 2nd or 3rd.
At first glance, he was punching well above his weight. She was stunning. She looked slightly mixed race, from looking and listening to her, she appeared to be a cross between Indian and Spanish whereas he was as Irish as Irish could be.
But on closer inspection, he scrubbed up well. He had a fine head of hair on him, ginger, but a fine head no less. The type of hair you can easily style however you want and he styled it well. He also had an impressive beard, again a ginger beard, but it was well groomed by a man who knew what he was doing. He was also dressed well, especially for a Wednesday night and they both looked a little bit nerdy. I don't say that as an insult, more of a good match, even a perfect fit.
But the thing that struck me most was the alcohol intake. She clearly wasn't a big drinker and yet he matched her sip for sip. Now, I know I'm making a huge assumption and being very stereotypical but I just can't believe any Irish lad ever drinks this slow, especially on a 2nd or 3rd date when the nerves have to be pulling the stomach out of you.
They had just over one and a quarter pints each in the time I had sank four. Sure they were chatting away, sure there was a toilet break each (which confirmed my suspicions of nerves as nobody needs a toilet break after a 0.5 - 1.0 pint intake) but for him to maintain that pace of drinking was remarkable.
I left downbeat by the result but buoyed by the sheer resiliance of Irish lads to be able to overcome the hardest of challenges, that man deserves a life time of happiness so he does.

Someone sent me a routers article about Tesla's earnings. I always find that funny when someone sends you something really glaring or obvious about your area of interest. It's like me texting the result of a hotspur game to hotspur. Or how we probably all ended up with multiple chip sets as presents because "he likes poker".

Originally posted by coillcam View PostAgreed it definitely didn't feel like 3 hours at all. There were so many characters and call backs to the other films. It was quite funny too and the big moments got a big reaction from the audience.
Yes it is excellent tbf. The more of the MCU films you've watched and enjoyed the more satisfying Endgame is.
There are definitely some plot holes, a couple of significant deus ex machina moments but you're watching a movie featuring a talking Raccoon at the end of the day. I can see why it got rave reviews and the audience reaction says it all. I can't remember so many people crying at a film in some time, maybe the theory of everything. For me its a very satisfying way to wrap up the series.
I don't want to be caught out like I was with Friends . One week they were 20 something next week pushing 40. Didn't know where I was. Then Chandler snogged Monika out of the blue and no one batted an eyelid.

Thoughts on Limerick?
We got the train down and it opens onto a square, and it was like a concentrated Amien street. Roving hoards of people in PJs and tracksuits.

We went over to the off-licence, called something "Fine Wines", where everything was behind glass, and no wine cost over a tenner.
Most of the lads were buying single bottles and cans. When I came out a local guy with his hands down his pants was talking to my friends and giving the rundown like we'd missed the first act of a play. He points across the square, "it's all going to kick off now, your mans got a stabber, and his one is after cheating on him with that other fella, and she has a child with that fella over the other side".
One of the fellas headed from across the square straight at us, glazed over eyes, walking with purpose with something in his hand, my girlfriend moved into the shop to avoid him, but when he got closer I realised it was just a pen. Our narrator promised nothing would happen us while we were with him, and then asked for a couple of quid.
Also I always find myself a bit discombobulated by rural towns naming all their main streets after Dublin streets.
I won't labour it, and I really can't do the night justice but just every interaction and observation was bizarre. We went to Pharmacia, the wooden floor had a thick black carpet of dirt on it, every wall looked looked like they had picked a different person to design it. Lads were wearing those black/grey/white pinstripe Ben Sherman shirts that I thought had disappeared, obv all boot cut jeans and black shoes. A doorman was telling us how he didn't know what GoT was with an air of being proud of not being into that fancy stuff.
I tried ordering pizza to where we were staying which was outside town, but would have been a bit of a landmark, I put in the full address and google maps link in on the order, and we were 4mins drive away so should have been known. The guy rang me three times asking where it was, and really specific questions like "is it after Josies shop" even after I told him I was just visiting, not really pleasant but part of me was thinking no wonder you're delivering pizzas in rural Limerick tbh.
When we were trying to get taxis back from town at 3am a couple of lads latched on to the group trying to follow the girls, weirdly they were from Bosnia. I could imagine ending up in Dublin but how do you end up in Limerick? I was almost tempted to bring them along to get the story out of them. The guy kinda just shrug and gave the gesture of money as if he was the local kingpin when he couldn't even find himself a house party to go to.
It was just so rural Ireland, like lads hadn't moved on from their teenage disco days, and everyone just looked a bit odd tbh. Real feeling that anyone who could had left. Seemed to be a mix of really old and underage people from a small gene pool.
We paid into some DJ gig which was upstairs, where they had two beers on tap (found it so bizarre to pay in, and find myself in an even grubbier spot with a smaller selection of booze). They staff apologised, looked embarred and asked was it ok if your order happend to came to more than a tenner. They had a big bouncer who roved around the place and for an extended duration stood in the entrance to the toilets with his arm across and everyone had to duck under him, with no explanation or insinuation that it was anything but normal.
There was a guy out on his own that seemed to pay a bit too much attention to us, once or twice someone in our group might ask where other people were and he'd answer from across the room. He came out to the smoking area and started telling my gf how he was a curious man and he was open to things, open to trying new things, and asking where we were staying. And then went on a religious bent, talking about how medium told him there was two types of people, and 90% are x, but he's one of the special 10%.

Can confirm laolao's drinking fast thing, I had mine gone by the time she had a sip taken on a date recently. It's a great sign of somebodies writing when I'd love to hear them describe hair more. In my barbers recently the young lad cutting my hair started talking to himself about how I have great hair, a pleasure to work with, just all mumbling to himself. I'm trying not to laugh.
I'd love to hear a laolao description of the the lad I was chatting to in the doctors waiting area yesterday, in there half an hour with him and his Russian friend with a hat, as he called him.
He had multiple broken bones with accompanying great stories, was trying to sell me litre bottles of Jameson, drugs and medical cards - he had a load of medical cards. He came prepared to that waiting area, that's for sure. It's not even teh fact that he is selling the stuff, the way he was talking to me I god damn wanted some Jameson before I ever saw the bottle.
He was on the phone to his wife taking the piss about getting some syphilis and chlamydia medication down at the doctors, telling her to get the boat if she wants a divorce. And so much more. I have never seen anything funnier on TV than these salt of the earth Dubs I meet at my doctors. I looked at the sign in sheet, i was the only one without a medical card that day. Was in stitches with this lad.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 25-04-19, 11:04.

The most amazing thing I saw in ages was at the Leinster Toulouse game the other day and that was Matt Williams shoes or boots or whatever they were
We were down in the corner beside the on pitch TV setup and Matt is bouncing around in these amazing winklepicker boots with a sort of leather ruff around the boot part, V would have been blown away by them! The trousers of his suit wouldn't go down over them which added to the impression of these boots are made for talking and you will damn well look at them whether you like it or not. I'm not sure what the statement was meant to be, could be a pointer to some sort of sexual proclivity but more likely that its 'I spend £800 on a pair of shoes' type of thing.
Other takeaways from being down in the corner for the game, for the first time since schoolboy days, are that it was a great place to watch a match even if we were the only corner that didn't have a try scored and that Shane Horgan is by far the most popular person for selfies and shouts of 'Good man Shaggy' outstripping even BOD and that lad off the TV.Turning millions into thousands

'Hi <insert name here>!' I breezily announced. He looked at the floor in a petrified fashion, then at the ceiling as he hurried past me desperate to avoid human interaction. Then, caught between his aversion to social intercourse and a realisation of the corporate power dynamic at play he clearly realised he had to make some kind of acknowledgement of my salutation.
It came out as 'nnnnnngrufffff'. In a wierd high-pitched tone. Then he bumped into the wall and hurried off on his way back to the safety of his black screen."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Limerick has a bad rep from years ago but I've never had any hassle when I was there and enjoyed it. Same as any other large town, avoid the "rough" spots and dont wander down a dark alley alone and you'll be grand.
