Horse running today called 'Usain Colt' He better be good as it would be shame for such an inspired name to go to waste on a rubbish horse.

Thats just great

Also great that Hughes is back in the saddle and a compromise has been reached.

Spectacular result for Conor Ridge & Horizon Sports Mgmt.

everything apart from hitting the ball, I'd imagine.
day-to-day crap like booking flights, transfers, transfer lounges, chauffeurs, hotels, media appearances
marketing, sponsorship, advertising, charity appearances, maximising logo viz while complying with individual event sponsors' restrictions etc
tax compliance & returns
all manner of logistics for player, family & friends

[Zosma]

No love here for saints row 3? Like gta but going for fun over realism. Don't have the time for skyrim so this will keep me going for a while.

Fat person says yes to bounty bars, therefore your statement is wrong, you are a chocolate bar buying fish, read more theroy, post some reviews think about the bars, get fat... then and only then will you u be a winning chocolate bar buyer!!

The Greeks don't mess about.

I can't see any meaningful protests happening here on a big enough scale no matter how bad the "austerity" measures are in the next budget.

that's not 'messing about', that's spoilt children throwing a tantrum because their mother asked them to tidy up their playroom. God knows what this protest is supposed to be against; other people giving them money that they will never have to repay?

I listed to it and I don't see any big deal. Everything was as reported. I would not vote for him in a fit but I have some sympathy for him on this front. His tone is quite casual and I do think most of this was an academic discussion over dinner. Bit of a stitch up to be making such a big deal about it imo...

The Greeks are idiots can we just fcuk them out? they are trying to welch on a double bailout. Go fcuk themselves imo

Ireland in the IMF good books at the moment so hopefully that will limit the severity of the cuts

[Raoul Duke III]

if I do, it'll be tonight as I'm busy Sat\Sun (hence why I'm not playing). Won't know until later, are you out and about?

[Raoul Duke III]

Denny Crane (the horse, not the IPBer) has been very well backed for the 9.00 at Dundalk

[Zuroph]

I just switched off last night because as much as I try not to I just can't help turning into a complete tilt monkey whenever the topic comes up. It's srsly like a disease, I actually lose the rag completely!

Over in italy at the wedding a few weeks back, was sick of being the only single one in a bunch of couples, so, to amuse myself at one of the group dinners, I carefully moved the subject towards religion and the vatican, knowing one of the guys was a lapsed born again christian. I then went for a smoke. came back to murder at the table, couples arguing and everyone on tilt. moved the subject to the presidential race, and went to the jacks.

that was a fun evening.

[Zod]

if I do, it'll be tonight as I'm busy Sat\Sun (hence why I'm not playing). Won't know until later, are you out and about?

definitely not this evening might be out for a few hours tomorrow.

Just an idea, which is the best coffee house in town? Would people be interested in a Sunday afternoon coffee some weekend, rather than the standard degeneracy?

someone set the line for the over/unders on how long it takes them to move to the pub...

[Raoul Duke III]

well it won't be with that attitude!

I owe you pints anyway, would hate to deliver in mocha-chocca-frappachino-diet-slurpees or whatever it is you young folk drink these days

On a serious note; I discovered this place on Moore Street when Mrs Duke was having de baybee (n.b. not literally at the same time ) , excellent spot imo

[Zod]

there's always time for pints.

It would take simpleton to send their child to be taught by people who openly discriminate on the basis of creed, class or colour.

If enough people listened to their gut and stood up to their parents and others on the issues of weddings, christenings, communions and the like, the outmoded –EV entity that is the church might die off quicker. Grow a set and make a stand for a better future for you, your kids and future generations. Humanism for FTW baby.

In theory yes, in practice not so easy, particularly when it comes to school. If it was just dealing with the family side of things it would be real easy imo...

Edit: Totally agree with Humanism FTW btw

What's going to be this year's topical Halloween costume? A bloodied up Gadaffi might be popular surely? Run-over Chinese baby too much too soon? Dress up as Tevez and refuse to go out?

I'm hoping dressing up won't be a requirement at the Jazz Festival, but I'm keeping Facebook up my sleeve just in case.
