Read a story recently, think it was in Private Eye, about him openly taunting people at some kind of Press Asociation dinner about personal details of their lives he had gleaned from his papers Phone tapping efforts. An absolute shit of a human

I remember the story of a night he said something to Clarkson about his wife, Jeremy promptly floored the cunt.

Down in Galway for the night, have a goo on after a few & wife wants to go to bed coz she's tired from her party that I had to collect her from at 3am last night.

Any decent cash games round here?

Is it not for teenagers too? I remember Le Bron being made fun of for reading it

I like a lot of children's books, The Hobbit, Catcher in the Rye, Stephen King - just because a book is aimed at children doesn't mean it can't be well written. This book is terrible, the writing is clunky, and the plot which starts off promisingly quickly becomes increasingly ridiculous. The writer falls into loads of basic writing errors

The writer has a few good ideas and then completely loses the run of herself. The end is so bad it's almost funny. I've spoilered it in case anyone wants to waste 45 mins reading it.

SPOILER

The last scene sees the three children have to fight the reanimated spirit of all the dead children in robot dog form. This (and other stuff like it) completely ruins any sense of dramatic tension as the only excitement comes in wondering what further nonsense the writer is going to come up with next. I think there were exploding flying bees at one stage.

@Lloyd, GB vs Oz mens hockey now on BBC3.

Aus 2-0 up early doors

Was a great match! It's just amazing to watch these guys play. I'm not sure I was playing the same sport tbh.

I have to give up having drinkin sessions like the ones i had when i was 18. I havent eaten since 1pm yesterday and have no real urge to eat. The depression im in is horrific aswell.

Boxing diary for the coming week:

Sunday: JJ Nevin fights for a medal @8:45pm WINS 19-13
Monday: Katie Taylor fights for a medal @2:30pm
Tuesday: Michael Conlon fights for a medal @9pm
(Wednesday: Possible Katie Taylor semi-final @2pm)
Wednesday: Paddy Barnes fights for a medal @8:45pm
(Thursday: Possible Katie Taylor final @4:45pm)
Friday: JJ Nevin semi-final bout @2pm

If either Barnes or Conlon make their semis they will also fight on Friday - Barnes would be at lunchtime, Conlon in the evening.

If we get any men to the final, they would fight Saturday night (Barnes or Nevin) or Sunday lunchtime (Conlon)

[LuckyLloyd]

That's a false equivalency. Just because someone can't name a previous winner of a different event doesn't mean that it follows that the 100m is the absolute nut event because you can name some past winners.

I can't name more than 4 or 5 of the previous winners of the 100M but can tell you pretty much every single winner of the All Ireland Football Championship since 1975. Others can do the same for major horse races. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are more or less important than the others in absolute terms.

100m is a pretty special event in the Olympics but the Chinese probably view the Table Tennis as more important. The Irish see the boxing as more important. The British arguably the track cycling. The 100m is objectively one of the very best events in the Olympics but to assign it a disproportionate weight based upon the fact that the Americans, who have won more than half of all Olympic 100m men's golds, treat it as a blue riband event doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

LOL

It's the big show because it crowns THE FASTEST MAN ON EARTH. It has nothing to do with US success in the event or anything else. We are human, and this is one of the simplest forms of human physical achievement.

Ballina is fucking horrendous. Avoid like plague, although Mount Falcon is a lovely place for a break with the missus, but you wouldn't actually want to plan to leave the grounds of the hotel.

Westport is ok but wildly over-rated, plus it's a massive stag/hen destination so might be dodgy at weekends with families but should be fine midweek.

Castlebar lol.



Yeah. This.



Source has changed it's menu now, and catered for the poor people. It's extremely average now. They fired the decent chefs. Waterfront very average.

Montmarte is nice yeah, but would recommend Silver Apple (French/Irish bistro, good simple food done well and very reasonable prices), and Eala Bhan (Irish with concentration on steak/seafood. Excellent food, again simply done but good quality, also has a sister restuarant in Strandhill called Tra Ban that is great too.)

There's a new Tapas place right in centre of town called Casa Mia that is very good, cool interior and nice atmosphere. The Bistro Bianconi is very family friendly, food is average Italian, but again it's not too expensive. Wouldn't be my choice but might be best after The Silver Apple for young family.

Hotel wise for family I'd look to stay in Radisson or Clarion. Clarion has crazy golf, leisure centre and is very central. Radisson is on Rosses Point road and also has nice spa as well as handy for heading to Rosses Point (beach, walking, golf, etc) If midweek The Glasshouse is handy too as very central, but again is hen/stag magnet at weekend.

There's actually alot to do in Sligo but very weather dependent I suppose. Sligo Golf Academy and Activity Farm is a great place for a family, they have little putting greens. driving range, as well as archery, and other outdoor mazes and games. Again you can't really go wrong with Strandhill, nice pubs like The Strand, and can eat in Tra Ban after which is upstairs. The Model gallery is well worth a visit, always stuff on up there from exhibitions to cinema, and is a really cool, modern building with a nice little modern cafe. Can check out a football match at The Showgrounds or rugby out in the rugby club either.

Would definitely recommend Sligo ahead of anywhere else in the north-west. Plus the people are far more normal/civilised than all the lunatics from Mayo etc.

Good post, just have to add that if you go to Strandhill check out Shells Cafe on the waterfront, excellent cafe -priced grub, shits on most resteraunts in town. Then when youre in bits the next day, take a seaweed bath next door, ultimate hangover cure.

Considering posts like this and others you have made lately, ones from euro 2012 come to mind, make me think you should seriously think about giving up drink altogether if it has that effect on you.

Really hating poker right now.... I run so unbelievably fucking bad!

Already have my ticket to the Deepstack on Saturday, have decided this is the last game: if I don't cash - that's it: I'm giving up poker!!!

But sure drink is a depressant? It wouldnt be after 10 pints that i get bad id want a lot of spirits.

Nope. I've been horrendously hungover, puked during, after and the next day loads over the years, but it's just been really bad hangovers down to stupid amounts of drinking. I've never had what I've seen described as the fear. It's all in the mind imo, and if anything has that bad an effect on someone, I would contend that they shouldn't do it.

pretty normal reaction to lots of spirits, particularly Gin and Whiskey. I find lots of sugary mixers incraeses the pain exponentially

This helps. Have never puked or passed out due to drinking, but have suffered many days of existential despair. Must start sticking fingers down throat more often

[eamonhonda]

ive always found the fear is a result of drink plus other stuff thats going on. ie hangover plus spent all money, no job, big exam coming up, did something i should be ashamed of etc etc

[Bubbleking]

My main problem with drinking is I'm an idiot. I'd be just as happy after 5/6 pints as 11/12 but unfortunately after 5/6 levels of judgement become blurred in more ways than one. When Im out with the girlfriend Id have a max of 6 drinks and thats because Id be aware of a certain responsibility not to make an arse of myself in front of her or even worse have her looking after me

When your out with the lads that social responsibility is lifted and you run into more problems of getting your round in and fulfilling the habit of having something in your hand5/6 turns into 11/12 very quickly. Its actually something Iv cut back on the last couple of years having in the past woken up and not known how I got home. The worst kind of fear

[Electra Blue]

Depression is not a normal part of drinking.

+1. Anyone whose mood changes greatly as a result of alcohol should not be drinking.

probably that you just need to move towards more moderate drinking if its having that effect on you. we all have to do it at some stage!

Its called growing up and being mature...

I see depressant getting fired around loads with regards to alcohol. Someone with a better understanding may clarify further or maybe I am completely wrong.

From my understanding the depressant link is used to describe its effect on your system not your mood. Alcohol is a drug which slows down or depresses the activity of the central nervous system and the messages going between the brain and the body. It isn't actually something which makes you depressed.

Generally makes me the opposite of depressed, until the hangover kicks in that is.

[Bubbleking]

Jesus just thinking there when Tipp posted Id say 90% of the problems Iv ever had in life have been directly related to drink and right now I cant think of one single positive Iv gotten from it. Still I cant see myself giving it up which is a very fucking grim realisation. Might see just how long I can do this "in moderation" thing for like Id be happy if I could go out and remember the whole night 100% clearly

[Electra Blue]

LOL?! Cmon youve never had the fear? Its a normal part until you decide its not. Which involves doing what Hitch advocates above. Dont listen to AA, its not all black and white, you can cut back!

The only time you get the "fear" is when you got totally out of control because you were totally under the influence (i.e. after a 'blackout') and your mind is still remembering that 'feeling' and the actions you did at the time...

[Micknail]

I normally get the fear after too much Mexican food.

As someone who has been drinking for over 20 years and has lived with an alcoholic or two who have died being younger than me, including a parent, it is very innocent of some people here to assume that drinking affects everyone the same. I could write a book on what i've seen. I understand everyones POV and wouldnt take anyones experience lightly.

I'm not sure anyone said that. More a case that alcohol is not the root cause of depression rather it exaggerates underlying issues/demons that you may consciously or subconsciously bury your head in the sand about when sober.

If you're going Irish-American, you got to go Tilted Kilt

They had some similar place or possibly the same place in The Rio in Vegas, pretty good.

Ate once at an 'Irish bar' in the New York New York hotel, ordered a shepards pie and it came in a bucket, a silver coloured metallic.

Really made me yearn for the old sod.

So much of our conceptions about alcohol are highly distorted because of advertising and the strange public discourse around it. This idea that huge swathes of people are able 'to handle their drink' is the worst commonly accepted idea - only the most anally self-controlled person is able to handle their drink. The rest of us run the constant tight rope of how much we've drank vs acceptable public conduct.

You'll be able to just turn off the drunk soon by popping a pill.
