    I'm pretty sure it's pride weekend?

    I watched a vid earlier of 23 lads getting screwed by a bunch of dudes in black to kick off the weekend!

    Got a laugh out of Giteau throwing serious shade at Barnes on Twitter.

    He's the worst commentator in any sport in the history of the entire human race. Buer could commentate on test cricket, something he clearly hates, and he'd be more insightful.

    I would pay £10 per month for the option to mute him. I'd donate a lot more than that to a kickstarter to get him to retire.

    When Ed Sheeran was writing his latest album he wrote a song called Galway Girl about a girl from Limerick who he met in Dublin. Stuart Barnes is the rugby equivalent of that.

    I'd let my bias for the team in white get in the way.

    I wasn't expecting the most comprehensive victory New Zealand racked up this summer. Congrats to the kiwis in the groups for smashing USA. Entertaining while it lasted.

    Nintendo have announced the Super Nintendo mini, out in September. So many good memories of the SNES. Can't wait


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭DGRulz


    If it's like the NES mini I can't wait to not be able to buy one.

    New season of Preacher is amazing. One of the best season opening episodes I've seen.

    Rancid and Greenday later. Hoping to not drown. How's Kilmainham for a gig?

    Access is grand. Close to city, normal hit and miss situation for the sound quality.

    Biggest queues I have ever seen for beer counters in my life without doubt. When we were going in (about 2 years ago now, in fairness), people thought the queue for beer was the queue to get in given how long it was. Literally over 100m long.

    I can only imagine they've corrected that since then.

    Looking forward to it. Never seen Rancid before but I'm a big fan.

    I've been to Kilmainham a good few times and never seen queues that bad. They've been long-ish a few times but they move so quickly you'd still be in and out in 5 mins

    Never heard of Rancid.

    1990s punk band that little sh*ts with skateboards and bumfluff beards used listen to when hanging around outside TBMC and the Central Bank.

    Oh, and dregin. But he's ok.

    I had a surfboard not a skateboard. And I wasn't hanging around TBMC or the Central Bank. But I was a little **** with a bumfluff beard.

    Heard my 11 year old daughter singing the words to "don't look back in anger" when oasis were on the radio earlier.

    I'm fairly sure my work as a parent is done.

    Ariana Grande has raised your daughter well

    Aha...did she sing it at the concert after the Manchester attack? Another one of these things that seem to be playing constantly on YouTube in our house.

    Coldplay did, so you should be done for dereliction of duty, for subjecting your child to Chris Moaning singing anything.

    Good lord...Coldplay. As bland as they come. In a world bereft of colour they are a welcome shade of beige.

    Somehow Liam managed to produce a worse version at Glastonbury to be fair. Ariana and Chris Martin managed to not completely murder it.

    You may well have heard the song Rocky Took A Lover or The Great Defector.

    They're the sort of band whose music gets played in the background of an upbeat ad for a mobile network.

    The great defector is the only song of theirs I recognise (and I didn't know it was them).

    Having only memories of the Trinity Ball, it's meh as a music venue but perfect as a location. Couldn't be more accessible with food and pubs all around. Don't be wearing your heels on those cobbles though, awec.

    Bell X1....one of those bands that were going to make it big about 10-15 years ago but never really did. Had a lot of hype and were always just on the verge of breaking through. Something like Kodaline would be now in terms of profile. They were in that whole clique with The Frames, Damien Rice (who used be their lead singer), Mundy etc.

    They're ok, I reckon. A few good songs but, as IBF says, not a band to get the blood pumping. Have a few pints, hope you get decent weather and relax.

    Are the gigs outdoors? On the cricket pitch at the back of trinity I assume?
