Re: Thomond Park
Don't even joke about it - a lot of houses near Thomond are like little shrines to their rugby team and a number of years ago I physically had to drag HWM out of one when he went in thinking it would be funny to p1$$ on their flegs. I suspect he could easily have been lynched . . . or stabbed.BR wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 11:52 amThread requesting a front garden to pitch it in - incoming on MFDave wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 3:31 amThread requesting a second hand tent incoming...justinr73 wrote:Buy a tent.HwoodMike2umate wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 11:07 pm Any tips for finding reasonably priced accomodation in Limerick for 28/29 October 2022?
Earlier in the day I had stopped him walking off the edge of the path and falling about 50ft into the Shannon.
That was after I pulled him off the road and back onto the footpath and prevented him from being run over by a car . . . . driven by David Humphreys as he overtook the bus we had just come down in.
Sometimes I wonder how the world would have panned out if I hadn't gone to Limerick that day.
Regrets? I have a few ....

Re: Thomond Park
Well me mate Frank ain’t now going to Limerick in a Fortnite so might be venturing on me own.
My safest trip would be on a big yella bus with the URSC but haven’t seen any reports of a day trip being organised.
Accomodation at Greenhills Hotel looks reasonable enough. Staggering distance of Thomond and on the 343 and 302 bus routes so no taxis needed and free train travel from Belfast. C u there.

Erudite sort.
Think he reminded me of Tinker Dill from Lovejoy.

Re: Thomond Park
Never thought of that comparison before but can see it now so u r probably correct. But he’s a real part time supporter now. Hasn’t even been to Ravenhill since before Covid. He is a regular eater of meals in the Dirty Duck, helps to keep the weight on.

If it helps, HWM usually goes to the terrace beside the tunnel.boysontour2 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 6:11 pm So..........who's going and what part of the ground you getting tickets for?
Last time I was there, I went to the terrace opposite that. Great night, not having to babysit him.

Very much looking forward to some black pudding in JJ Bowles after the game.
Re: Thomond Park
Will we even have a competitive team?
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!
