If I put on less than a stone then the holiday will have been a disappointment

Italy is the greatest country in the world.

Coffee is wonderful. Food is wonderful. Scenery is spectacular. Architecture and history are unreal. Ice cream to beat the band. People are super friendly and slightly mad.

It has it all. I reckon I will retire there...seriously. Sell up everything here and make the move.

Pints are pricey though

Wasn't it Italian X Factor where a nun was on it a few years ago? I think they have it everywhere. No escaping it.

EDIT: I am mistaken, it was The Voice.

So, this explosion in New York is being reported as intentional but not terrorism. I don't understand that. What possible reason is there to intentionally plant two explosive devices other than terrorism?

That's still terrorism though, is it not?

I think the way they word it is just an awkward way of saying they don't think it was ISIS, or some other international terrorist group. You try to blow people up it's terrorism, in my book.

They would describe it as domestic terrorism though.

Columbine school massacre with bombs is still a mass murder in my book

I don't think it has to be one or the other. 9/11 was terrorism but it was also mass murder.

CatFromHue

terrorism is an on going campaign usually inspired by politics or religion

this could be some nutter who just didn't like the fish

Terrorism has an ideological (political or religious ) reason for killing....mass murder doesn't, it can be a mental break or someone who hates the colour pink r has lost their job and thinks everyone is to blame

Hard to look past the Dubs today, fancy they'll give Mayo a hiding.

Mayo have been very slow off the mark this year. They'll need to go out all guns blazing from the start of they're to have any chance, and even then I can't see it happening.

Better Mayo teams have faced less impressive teams in finals and lost - hard to see past the Dubs unfortunately

mfceiling

Good idea from my wife to let my ones invite 2 friends each over to play today.

The Dubs are a class act. Disappointed that tyrone aren't there but hey ho.

Here's hoping for a classic.

Just watching the teams running out in Croker......reminder of happy days there at rugby matches.

COME ON THE BOYS IN BLUE!!!

Here's hoping for no surprises or upsets or I'll be taking some amount of grief in work tomorrow.

Mayo doing all the scoring

Buer

Possibly an even worse final than last year. Quality of scoring has been brutal.
