Re: Joke of the Day

My wife is always complaining that I'm tight with money so yesterday, to surprise her, I treated her to afternoon tea. It was very exciting as she had never given blood before ... SPOILER ALERT First time donors get a cold drink. (at least they did when I gave my first pint back in 1977) I'm on abo...

Some of you may be encouraged to learn that my neighbour is still having regular sex at 80!

It's handy because he only lives at No. 76

Re: 6 Nations 2024

There could be a bizarre scenario where Ire win the championship with 3 wins and Eng finish 2nd with 4. Just give everyone a trophy. It's what everyone wants anyway (apart from Bryn). If Ireland win the thing and Wales finish last i think nearly everyone will get a trophy albeit a wooden one for th...

Likewise Murray.
Time for Ryan Baird to start.
Short of a mathematical miracle we are still on course to win the 6N.
Who cares?

Winning the pot and losing to England is failure just as it was when Ireland did it to them

You'd have thought Murray would have trusted his forwards to Munster it instead of giving Eng a go at the death?

Better team won though. 3-2 a fair reflection

Re: Football at Ravenhill?

The residents of the Onslow, Ravenhill and Mt Merrion areas can breathe a sigh of relief as the game will not be played at Ravers. I would have been very much against such a game being played however UR have lost a significant additional income stream as they were bound to have cashed in by introdu...
