Thoughts and prayers @Nollaig O Muracu . He'll have you driven demented.

I know @keamoresouth has already posted on the motorsport thread, but I think Eddie deserves his own thread. What a character, now that is a life that has been lived.

Bulgarian club has minute's silence for player who wasn't actually dead. They just read it on Facebook. :LOL: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2025/0317/1502579-club-sorry-over-minutes-silence-for-alive-ex-player/

Deserves her own thread. A superb actor. RIP.

Passed away at 71. https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2024/0707/1458648-double-all-ireland-winning-manager-john-omahony-dies/

Sad news. No further info. https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024/0220/1433301-germany-world-cup-winner-brehme-dies-aged-63/ He'll always be remembered for this:

How in the scuttering fuck did this happen? I'm sure they're considered to be gas crack altogether in the pub, after a few pints, but in the name of all the gods, leave it fucking there. RTE has scraped through the bottom of the barrel and are about to hit bedrock.

I'm assuming the previous one was pulled for an inappropriate thread title. Fairy nuff. I was responding to someone's comment that I must either be spending a fortune or that I was someone (who?) to have visited the countries I have, so my answer is here. I fecking wrote the thing out and then...

Went to Kaleidoscope at the weekend, really enjoyable. But the wearing of dry robes at it was horrifying. It's the middle class equivalent of going to the post office in your pyjamas. Fucktards. Burn em all.

I'm getting confused. Nan Slack is JT? Who the fuck is Kit Nichols? Is Fishy gone altogether? Feel free to add any more.

I found this fascinating infographic from over 100 years ago on size and strength of various empires through the millennia. It's huge, so I really think it needs to be viewed on a laptop or tablet. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/histomap-big.html

Takes everything you've got

Knock has been elevated to international status by the pope, following an application for same by the local archbishop. Len would want to get the finger out on Clonrichert. The more ways we can part the gullible from their money, the better.

Very good article on the need for new raw materials in the push to de-carbonise our economy. Unfortunately, NGOs have got very good at obstructing any and every natural resources project, to the point where even looking for the stuff is becoming increasingly difficult and politicised. There is...

Sorry, couldn't resist it. The legendary test pilot, first person to break the sound barrier, has died at 97.

This would give you serious pause for thought if you were considering flying with any Middle Eastern airline. A new born baby was abandoned in Doha airport so the Qataris decide to perform vaginal inspections on the female passengers from a nearby flight. They're promising an investigation...

Noted on another thread, but she deserves a thread of her own.

Nice few legs in that picture. Might be worth going to for anyone local? Thanks for letting us know, PROC.

The 80s was the golden era of sitcoms, with stuff like MASH and Cheers being two of the big ones, but there was a whole load of others as well. So let's hear it for the unsung heroes of 80s T.V. What are your top top obscure 80s sitcoms? I'm going with WKRP in Cincinnati, Benson (probably...

Am on my holliers in Cork at the moment and passed through Midleton yesterday on the way home from the beach. Must have been 20 years since I've been there. Highly impressed. Thriving-looking spot, lots of independent traders. Close enough to town and the beach, lovely surrounding countryside...
