Wolf of Wall Street for me tonight.

Watched Rush the other night. It was good. James Hunt must have been the George Best of F1 drivers!

My earliest memory of Firmula One is Ayrton Senna's death. I used to be big into it back in the 90s but don't follow it at all now.

Heard Rush is very god alright but i've given it a wide berth so far as i find formula one painstakingly boring! I'm sure the film is far from watching an actual race but i'm like that!

Have just started watching Sons of Anarchy, not sure why i waited so log to give it a look as i'm only half way through season 1 and think it's great! I was crying out for a new boxed set to watch too! That'll be me for the night!

Yeah I caught up on Sons of Anarchy there before Xmas, it's very good alright. I'm now on to the Season 4 finale of Boardwalk Empire so I'll be looking for something new next week after I watch it.

Was thinking House of Cards as I haven't seen the first season yet and saw the ads for Season 2 there earlier.

dahat

Rush is very good and I ain't an F1 fan at all,really enjoyed it.

You'll be looking for something new after Series 5 of Boardwalk too. It's the last series.

I'm afraid so:

“After much discussion with my creative team and HBO, we’ve decided to wrap the series after such a great run and look forward to bringing it to a powerful and exciting conclusion,” series creator Terence Winter said in a statement.

Mr.Prodston

Just finished the Season 4 finale now for BE

Feck it anyway! It was a logical conclusion for him but he's got to have been one of my favourite ever characters. I just knew it was coming though. To be fair it was an epic sendoff all the same

I can understand why it would end soon but I'd have said it had at least 2 more seasons in it.

Anyway I'm now in that period of sadness and confusion over what to watch next yet being able to read all the wiki info and find out everything I wanted about the actors and characters without fear of being spoiled :pac:

Don't know if many follow Athletics here and the media impact it had in Ireland and UK but Lavillenie beating Bubka pole vault WR is quite some achievement.

Love the guy to the right of Bubka showing the margin Lavillenie had on his successful 6m16 attempt .

Mother of God, the Irish accents in Sons of Anarchy are absolutely appalling haha! Proper "top of the morning ta ya" jobs! Yanks and Aussies playing Paddy's! Surely they could have gotten at least one or two Irish into the cast or at least had some Northies over there to voice coach them!

Makes for painful viewing!

Lucas Hood

The guy who plays Galen O'Shay is actually Irish and even his Irish accent is crap.

he hasn't come into it yet i must keep an eye/ear out for him though! I'm only on season 3. i'd nearly give up on the series watching this shite but i've been assured it comes good again next season so i'll stick it out as i was enjoying it up until now.

Not even lying... i genuinely think going out for a swallow of pints cures man flu right up! After a few pints the sick feeling leaves you and the next day you will suffer with a hangover but that will be all!

+1 on going drinking

Last time I had of a cold / flu I went out for a few drinks with the lads, woke up feeling fantastic the next day

Mr.Prodston

What a game of rugby between Italy and Scotland. Scotland drop goal at the death to win 21-20. Who says Scotland and Italy can't be exciting. Great entertainment!

My most hated airport. Was over there in Vilamoura in 07, big spot for golf, and got delayed 8 hours in the place on the way home. Worse still they didn't know how long the delay would be at the time so we had to wait around.

Luis Figo has a decent bar on one of the strips over there.

Right. Couch. Blanket. Newcastle Villa on the Ipad, Liverpool Swansea on the laptop and Third and Bird on the telly.

A wee Hot whisky would complete the picture maybe.

Choking here as well, going try an irish coffee

Mr.Prodston

Some battle in the WGC Golf Matchplay final between Jason Day and Victor Dubuisson. Sudden death into the 21st hole now. Dooby performing minor miracles to stay in it right now!

Hope Vdubs can win it out, never liked Day.

I wouldn't begrudge him the win after his heroics but I've been a Day man since he came close in the Masters the 1st time about 3 years ago now? His caddy has been annoying though today!

Random one, how would ye rank sports in terms of your interest in them?

I'd go:
Football
Golf
Rugby
Boxing
Darts
Hurling
Horse racing
Gaelic football
Snooker
Tennis
American football

Tough to pick! Gaelic & hurling would have been much higher when I was younger.
