Ah yes..MonAco Grand Prix...and 'Rakkonen' instead of 'Raikkonen'.


'Little Nicky Heidfeld'....ah bless RTE.

dgt, any chance you could upload that VHS to Youtube? I'd love to see RTE's coverage of it.

Oh it was BBC on the day, RTE didn't cover F1 until years later.

Everyone I was talking to this week in relation to it were Dublin based, so they'd loads of choice, and for several it came down to the percieved risk of injury, and serious injury at that.

From the non rugby fans, their perceptions were that it was an ultimately dangerous sport when considering the options.

My niece has wrecked herself from playing rugby. She managed to damage her pelvis in a tackle. To this day she is not right and it was nearly two years ago she still needs physio. She has been told she can get an operation to fix it but apparently it can cause her issues later on in life if she were to have children. Now not sure if thats my sister exaggerating the situation but i suppose the pelvis is quite important in a woman!

This was stuck on the window of a car in our carpark last night:D The girl who drives the car has to be the worst parker I have ever seen, every time there is about 50% of the car outside of the space blocking the drive around the car park for everyone else (and where she parks is after 90 degree corner, so it could be quite easy for someone to come round it and drive into the back of her car).

Ah bless I am actually mortified for her! But at the same time serves her right, it really isn't that hard to park a car.


Payday today I love that feeling of being rich for 5 whole minutes before I pay all my bills

All good advice, although race helmets and "normal" helmets have completely different testing standards. You wont be allowed race with a road helmet I have tried

Hhhmm never knew that. As said, it has been a good few years since I had anything to do with bikes. I personally don't see how their can be any difference with a race helmet and a normal helmet. Surely they are designed the same as they will (unfortunately) be doing the same thing

To be fair, that could happen in any sport. We could all pull horror stories of sports injuries in every sport. I've played rugby for 20 years, and the worst injury i've ever I had, I picked up playing tag rugby one evening :rolleyes:

Totally, sure look you could trip up over a path crossing the road and if you hit your head the wrong way your a gonner.

If we thought like that though we would never leave the house! Or do sport for that matter

Defo won't effect the price at the pumps here anyway. Might encourage further exploration though and create jobs and cashflow into the economy.

My worst rugby injury, being caught in a ruck with a steaming hangover and the fattest sweatiest man ever smearing his sweat all over my face and mouth. That day will haunt me forever.

Without fail... even if we had been up partying and not been to bed he would still make that match :eek::eek:

You have to laugh at the zoo directors bluntness - "It was a direct hit."

I never ever could manage playing sport with a hangover. Anytime i've tried, it has resulted in seeing the previous nights alcohol and food!!!

Spent a good three hours wandering around town this afternoon, and something struck me, why is that all Garda cars have tax discs on them? Surely it's not necessary?

I am placing this ad, as a warning for anyone who is thinking of buying the 2004 lexus ls 430 pictured above.
The reg on the car is :
04 C 17416
I was interested in this car, so got a Motorcheck report on it, and found out it's been clocked TWICE!
I have reported it to donedeal, and they did nothing about it.
The seller (called Oleg) is aware that it's clocked. His number is : 086 6653235
You can view the motorcheck report here:
http://www.motorcheck.ie/report/04C17416/XVQW9R
Just copy and paste that link into your address bar.
If the report is no longer showing (it only lasts 30 days) email me for a copy.
Hope this info saves someone from buying a lemon.

Fair play to this guy.
