Take a wee nap ahead of the Calcutta Cup

Take a wee nap ahead of the Calcutta Cup

England to win by 15 or more points. 6/1

[Strewelpeter]

Pain in the hole to have the rugby up against the racing today surely it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man to have had the kick off times arranged more sensibly.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Passing by an Irish themed bar earlier, called the Shamrock Inn, where they were advertising an English breakfast special and the Italian speaking barman was dressed in a kilt.

[oleras]

Moment of madness ffs

[ArmaniJeans]

That yellow card is another on my very long list of 'things that I had no idea were against the rules'.

Presumably if he did that with any other part of his body it'd be fine? Often see players kick it out under pressure in a one v one foot race.

[oleras]

Terrible kick and worse lineout.

It's just a deliberate knock on, penalty try was spot on, great crossfield kick

Grandstand finish,

[Emmet]

Not just a deliberate knock on, if he'd knocked it backwards out of play it would've been the same outcome.

[Strewelpeter]

Spotify hurriedly trying to delete Rogan's blatant not so casual racism... If they'd spent the hundred mill on an NFT it would have been a better buy

[Strewelpeter]

Really, I didn't realise that. He can only try to catch it and compete for it if he doesn't hold it?

Power melting down.

Leona doing well.

Keep the faith.

Leona looking so good . BIG moment in Irish golf.

Saturday finish. 3 holes left. Could be first Irish woman to win on LPGA.

Don't know how I only heard about the Ricky Gervais show about a week ago.

You can't batton / throw the ball out of play / knock it dead. Can kick or carry a ball off the pitch.

Here's a nightmare example from a few years ago of someone costing themselves the game by throwing the ball dead.

Law 10.2 (c) Throwing into touch. A player must not intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with his arm or hand into touch, touch-in-goal, or over the dead ball line.

[Goodluck2me]

Really, I didn't realise that. He can only try to catch it and compete for it if he doesn't hold it?

Yes likewise if you’re in possession you can’t deliberately pass the ball into touch either you have to kick it, same principle,

Interesting, also wouldn’t have known the penalty would be from the 22m.

Father up from kerry showing me his latest work on his hobby. He bought this 1958 anglia about 3 years ago and is just tipping away on it. He put a Ford capri engine in. He has electric doors and windows fitted. Waiting on a few other bits he orders from god knows where.
He was always doing up cars when I was growing up. Nothing he didn't know about them and hated when the modern cars starting coming on the scene.
Not bad work for a 74 year old.
He has a long way to go yet. Asked me could I bring back alloys from US LOL

Just proves it’s a rubbish game

[Goodluck2me]

That's absolute nonsense. Edit: and just to curtail the obvious argument, yes many times people get offended over nothing. This isn't one of those times though.

Really? Watched it tonight to see what the fuss was about, that particular part was during a “this is how I get cancelled” bit and wasn’t in the top 5 thing a non-involved listener would find offensive tbh. I thought the whole set was pretty poor with unabashed vulgarity the main theme, I prefer a more intelligent take but I don’t get the hoopla about that part.

[Raoul Duke III]

If I didn't have covid before last night, I most certainly have it now.

[Raoul Duke III]

We made a new friend last night, an actual professional sports coach. Pat Fitzgerald of some university in Chicago.

Just googled the fucker and his salary is 3.3 million. He should have been buying us drinks.

Downloaded TikTok yesterday to have a look at what hitch is on about it, genuinely one of the most depressing experiences of recent times for me, just fucking grim, obviously a Chinese plot to subvert and degrade western youth- it’s awfully- the “amazing algorithm “ fed me up a steady diet of attention seeking whores and gangs of identikit tracksuited Irish teens doing knack stuff- just utterly grim. Not a surprise at all but far worse than I expected

[ComradeCollie]

Two different strippers messaging me this morning. I clearly made some life mistakes last night. Glory be. Woke up to all the banks messaging me saying a crazy guy has clearly taken over your bank account.

It's beginning to feel like this pandemic is really over.

Not that i condone this type of humour . However if you are paraphrasing you should have said 'joked ' as opposed to 'said' .

It was bad taste but thats his act.

I came across this amazing NYT article in 1903 shortly before the first flight and it immediately reminded me of you.

Not sure what your point is here
If I was around in 1803 I would have been pretty excited about the prospect of flight and all the benefits of that not sure how that reflects on me not being excited that my future daughter will be growing up exposed to a platform that tells her flashing her gee /arse to internet strangers for money and validation is an empowering choice. I don’t see any benefits to social media it’s fairly clear at this stage that the downsides massively outweigh any upsides(struggling to think of any myself).

nothing worse than middle aged men like yourself on hitch pretending to get something the kids are into into so you don’t look out of touch

Nothing to do with Tik Tok, just your general approach to everything. And 100% gtd if you were alive in 1903 (or 1803) you would not be excited about flight, you just think you would be now.

Anyone any thoughts on the Oppo Reno 4 Pro 5G?

Was holding out for a good Vodafone deal on the Samsung S21 but the Oppo caught my eye.

[Emmet]

Hang on a week for S21 as S22 is out next week and I'm guessing/hoping S21 offers open up.

Would buying or building a Tandoor just for Naan bread be ridiculous?

TikTok gives you content based on your interests. You only see content that you actually find interesting. It's excellent. My TikTok feed is largely smart-ass takes on things and exotic food dishes.

The reason you saw those Irish things is that's their immediate best guess as to what you might find interesting. You then give the algorithm feedback as to what you actually like and what you don't like.

The strength of their algorithm is it takes your feedback on board but does so with a 'noise function' that allows it to try to push your views into new areas and widen your horizon. They seem to have calibrated the noise function really well, as a lot of basic algorithms either overvalue your expressed wishes (like YouTube, which largely just shows you iterations of what you have watched before - 100% matching) or ignore your expressed wishes (0% matching).

[Lazare]

no, but lighting it each time you want to cook some bread would be.

Yeah, I guess so. I do shop bought ones on the BBQ and they turn out pretty good, but obv not as good as the proper thing.

Not a fan of tandoori meat so would probably not be worth it.

[Strewelpeter]

It's such a pleasure watching Rugby and seeing how the officials decisions are respected - can you imagine an equivalent situation in soccor

Nice change of tone in the GAA today where the ref David Gough stood back until they were finished and then sent off one from Armagh and four of the Tyrone players.

[dobby]

Who recommended Hop House for food on Parnell Street? Popped in today to cheer myself up after the club lost the all Ireland final. Top class food, staff and booze. Great recommendation. Would go back in a heartbeat.

FWIW, had Bogagli? with spring rolls and chicken dumplings. Savage stuff

Also met some young lad called rigger for added bonus and we made our way to Woolshed to watch the Afcon final. Grand evening.

Dont you spend most of your time away from Ireland in France? For shame. Go to Italy next time, you're not welcome anymore in our gorgeous country. Italians have pasta, nothing else.

It's genuinely a lifetime dish. That delicate yet powerful fragrance from the meat, the bit of punch from the spicy cabbage, the sticky rice.

Tried the same dish in a few other places and it's amazing how easy it is to fuck up. Almost like an Asian Carbonara.

All this hiking and reduced booze intake seems to be paying off

Weighed myself today sans clothing (must remember to this indoors next time) and was an Adonis like 14S & 4 and a bit LBs. Was definitely over 15 at one stage maybe 15 4

Was finished physio waiting for bus near the Mater on Fri and just said ..feck it may as well walk home (5 miles)
Saved myself 3.30, got some exercise and was only circa 40/ 45 mins longer timewise and hardly felt tired at all. Mountain walking really is a great fitness routine and top class feel good factor.
