Flashsa what part of JNB did you live in?

And Quade Cooper is? Don’t think so

Carter clearly out on his own but he is up there with the rest, therefore world class.

If robshaw isn’t world class, then who is in terms of lions selection?

Sexton?

CFH its Póg mo thóin 😀

Wtf has Gabby Logan on her head? A squirrel?

He’s having a shocker……again

living up to your name there!

Nope it wasn’t nasty, the Italian made a meal of it

Petty yes, nasty no.

As an Irish fan I thought Walsh gave Eng a few dodgy pens tbh. Wales were outstanding and front rows still win matches!!

Some atmosphere

What a shambles from Ire, after the first half in Wales we have been terrible ever since. Ok we have had lots of injuries but the performance and discipline from many of the players has been way short of the mark. I hope the Scots beat France #dontwantwoodenspoon

Edit- well done to Italy thoroughly deserved

Not really he has still looked a good player in a poor team. He was outstanding against Wales and France

150ml and 6 mins

Hardly! Ireland have been truly awful

Can’t be condoned but the Italian must have been watching Lazio last week rolling about like that

I’ve got a bad feeling about this. BOD what was that?

What is Wayne Barnes on about, Healy made the tackle and Pom was on his feet trying to steal the ball, pen Ire surely?

No problem, hope you have a great time.

‘Yes of course I need a full sus 29’er for my commute, have you seen the potholes in the road?’

Nearly, I’m a short arse so a 26er! Cheers, looks like as the company buy it themselves it should be ok. Time will tell.

Come on Duckie, give an Irish fan a break, we must be good at something!

He’s also got four turnovers to his name this Championship, to Warbuerton’s one.

Who has the most turnovers in the championship? Where can I find such a stat?

Me too!

This has prompted me to look up the family motto which is Vive ut vivas it supposedly means Live that you may live forever. I like it

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog!!

Mega Bloks here and the kitchen utensils drawer!!

Just making it clear for he OP 😀

The Crown is worth a shout, thought the Rock bar on the falls was good too, as was the Felons(bus load of us there mind you), they’re just a local pubs though, might be a bit intimidating if you don’t know anybody.

Are you for real? The Rock and Felons are best avoided stick to city centre bars!

Albanach, Andy has mentioned a lot of he stuff that I would suggest, however there are some others that would be worth considering.

The Crumlin Road Gaol is fascinating if a little macabre. If the weather is good I would consider getting the train to Cultra (takes about 15 mins) and visiting the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. It has two areas obviously the transport side and the folk side is outdoors and features a number of reconstructed buildings from mostly the 1800’s. The buildings are all staffed by actors and they give a wonderful insight into life in rural Ulster at this time.

If the weather is poor I’d go to the Ulster Museum near Queens University in the south of the city. 20 min walk from the city centre. You can go to botanic gardens up here as well.

There is an Andy Warhol exhibition on in The Mac until the end of Apr.

As for pubs the Crown is a must and I know you may like folk music from other threads so Fibber Magees next door to the Crown would be best for some live music on the sat.

A walk up Cave Hill if the weather is good gives great views of the city and further afield and if you want we could hook you up with bikes and a quick guide round!

If you are going to the Titanic centre I’d recommend booking tickets now as most weekends sell out. If you have any questions or want to email me feel free. Email in profile

but anything over 15mins is skiving

Anything over 15mins is constipation

Florence and the Machine…

+100000000

Wingers like you describe are generally better to watch IMO.

loum I agree re Bowe, even if he is hurried back I think they are talking about mid Apr at best so its unlikely that he would make it anyway.

Fez will not make the Lions unfortunately and POC makes his competitive return for Munster A tomorrow night. A decent showing in the HC and he could still make it.

I’ve stayed here in the past, really nice and not too pricy

External wall insulation and a render finish. Render can be various colours and textures. Depending on location and energy supplier you may be eligible for a Greendeal fund.

From Melbourne we left early and took all day exploring the road before heading inland to Ballarat. The next day taking in the Sovereign Hill gold mining town museum.

EDIT – MCG is good for a guided tour if you are a sports fan. And Philip Island to see the wee Penguins

and Danny Boy

Thanks Al.

BBSB there is a similar story in the town I grew up in called Limavady. In Irish this is Leim an Mhadaidh which means leap of the dog. An Irish wolfhound was meant to have jumped the river and took a message to a neighbouring clan to advise the local clan the O’Cahans were under attack.

Those early tractors with flywheels used to power threshing machines using long leather belts, H&S would probably have a coronary..

Rick I remember after going to the sawmill with my granddad him hooking the fergie pulley up to a completely unguarded circular saw with a long belt to cut the sticks he bought. None of that now!!

Duckie is his dad the dude on radio Scotland?
