I wonder how much was paid and it looks like nucibolloks and the FIRFU blinked first. The SRU treasurer eyes must've been popping out of his head with the thought of paying Dan another month's wage for doing feck all. Still, good to see Dan here and the nonsense is over.

Also, just looked at Finlay's background. Is it normal for someone to be taken on in a communications role with what looks like no relevant qualification, let alone, experience in Communications? Surely, you'd be wanting a journalism type qualification or PR? No, we'll take a sales exec from Energia, with qualifications in Sports and Sports Admin, thanks. The Ulster Way, eh?
If the IRFU has any sense they should have gotten Dan to file for constructive dismissal due to the demotion and job share during his notice period. The the settlement could simply have been let me go now and I will drop the claim.

However the IRFU having sense is a different question all together.

All in good time, my friend.

At the moment, Dan is probably just relieved that he can finally turn up at the Kingspan without having to wear a wig, false breasts and a dress.

For the avoidance of doubt, it wasn't me.

I wasn't anywhere near Ravenspan on Saturday.

Is this not body shaming, an offence to feminists akin to a good rooting

Anyway fat people are lucky - they get to eat whatever they want and not worry about getting fat.

I would imagine it's a non-binary bear.

Things don't have to be black and white (unless it's a panda).
