Watched Glengarry Glenross again. So good. Made me miss watching plays. Is there any good online sources? I'm still working my way through the Hollow Crown. And there's this godot on youtube. Is there anything worth watching for Tom Stoppard (Arcadia/R&G)?

Often wondered if staged productions of it now include the Alec Baldwin 'abc always be closing' character/lines which wasn't in the original play but was one of the most iconic parts of the film?

Denny, Druid are live streaming Soyna Kelly's new play next week for a few days:
Druid is delighted to announce the live stream of Once Upon a Bridge, a new play by Sonya Kelly. The production will be directed by Sara Joyce and will premiere at The Mick Lally Theatre in February for four performances. Audiences across Ireland and beyond can watch this new play from their own home.

It's maddening that in the most important game of the season you still have lads giving penalties away for taunting.

You'd wonder how much the toe injury affected Patrick, but I think it mostly comes down to whether the Buccs defence were amazing or the chiefs WRs having a nightmare.
Was listening to the Seconds Captains lads talking about how Brady at Patriots effectively gave up about 50mil over his career there so the team could budget to bring in players that could A. Protect him and B. Play his style of football.
He went to Tampa knowing their defense was going to suit him, he brought back Gronk so he'd have a reliable go-to, I'd even wonder if he thought home advantage in the final factored into signing too!!﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

I'd say that car crash on Friday night, involving Reed's son, was a massive distraction for the Chiefs and obviously Reed in particular. The son was the Chiefs linebacker coach. The crash left a 5 year old fighting for her life. He had drink on board apparently but no charges against him yet to be fair.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Also it uses Three's network infrastructure which may impact your choice based on coverage. You're in Dublin so I don't see it to be an issue. Get their free sim for a week and test the coverage/speeds. You've nothing to lose really.

Solksjaer! The stand was shite though, too much movement in it while typing. I actually packed it up for return on the same day.

Had a couple of weird, and nice coincidences the last few days.
On Thurs I went for a run on my lunch and spotted a builders van with 'Matthew & Son' on the side of it. Was raging I didn't have my phone so I could take a pic with the caption 'the work' s never done '
Hadn't heard or thought of the song in years.
John Creedon played it that evening.
On Sat afternoon, on a run again, I put Cuban salsa on the headphones.
Cuba LA' s Guantanamera came on and it was just perfect. Ended up listening to it about 20 times.
Have never looked up how to play anything on piano before but thought it would be an awesome tune to be able to play.
Looked it up yesterday, also saw this cracking 6 year old vid of a group of Cuban musicians all over the Americas playing Guantanamera.
Last night, John Creedon tweets out that exact video. Jaw hit the floor.
Then, further down in the thread he comments that he taught himself how to play it on the piano.
Mind blown.
Here's that vid
Cuba L. A...
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Originally posted by shrapnel View PostProper super spreader event that was. Crazy that fans were allowed in.
Everyone was tested, wore masks, and people seemed to stick to their appointed seat with no grouping.
Also it was outdoors in a very open stadium (no roof on any tier).
Probably still not the wisest decision, but I'd be surprised if it turns into a spreader event.

Re: Alisson
The net benefit of keepers playing out from the back hasn't been properly analyzed IMHO. Some keepers clearly feel they still have to do it, even while in clear and present danger. Week in week out, goals are being conceded due to keepers dicking about. If in doubt hoof it FFS.
Some analytics heads need to look at this and do a hindcasted reward vs punishment analysis on this. Some keepers just aren't suited to it or maybe can't make a proper a judgement call on when it is appropriate.
Even a simple analysis like (playing out lead to a goal or hoofing lead to a goal being conceded) VS (playing out lead to a goal being conceded OR hoofing lead to a goal) might uncover something.

Brother made the point after that it's all about the pass stats these days and lads are so drilled to retain possession that they don't just launch it even when they should.

Amazon are really dropping the ball for deliveries to me, last week they delivered to the wrong house, so I lose the item, no idea who they delivered it to. I contact them and reorder, saying they will ring to make sure this does not happen again. Well it just happened again. And I have to make a third order. Which I presume will be left to the wrong place again? Wtf.
