    These leaders debates are a mess. Nobody gives a straight answer to what's being asked, everybody piles on FF for the 08 meltdown, Mary Lou heaps on populist nonsense that gets cheap applause but offers no actual solutions, Leo remains a smug, deeply unlikeable man.

    Not an easy job too - arguably the second most important person on the stage after MJ himself. Ignoring all the pyro, lights and absolutely manic fans, and holding the beats unaccompanied through an entire choreography routine, e.g., from 4:05 here:

    Thought Leo came across very well personally, though for some reason he doesn't bother me in the way he seems to with others.

    SF solid, greens solid and Labour solid. SF over promising as usual but got caught out trying to explain the 'how'.

    Michael Martin was really poor. Didn't represent himself or FF at all well and I'd suspect they lost some undecideds tonight.

    Yeah I thought Leo was decent. Ryan unsurprisingly did well too. And Howlin caught me off guard. I'm not a Labour man, but he was up there. Mary Lou did a lot of grandstanding, promising not to be mean to anyone other than the bad guys. MM wasnt great. Neither was Shortall. And Boyd Barrett did his best tin foil hat routine.

    Sounds a bit like the Ireland / 6N thread.

    These <Ireland team> debates are a mess. Nobody gives a straight answer to what's being asked, everybody piles on <Schmidt for the 2019> meltdown, <WUM posters> heap on populist nonsense that gets cheap applause but offer no actual solutions, <Eddie Jones> remains a smug, deeply unlikeable man.

    I haven't been this hungover in a long, long time.

    Being a parent right now is not pleasant.

    I haven't had a hangover proper in about 12 years. Probably the morning after tyrone won their last All Ireland in 2008...walked in to the little ones room and the nappy contents outweighed my interest in ever drinking to excess again.

    Maybe your lack of commitment is why Tyrone haven’t won since?

    Nope. Definitely Mickey Harte's disappointment in you being a dry shíte.

    Everyone is gonna have a swell time.

    If Mahomes turns up I can't see past a KC win.

    Defences win championships.

    The better D has a much better record in the super bowl then the better QB in the last 15 years or so. Also Mahomes only matters if KC can stop 9ers running the ball down their throat and I don’t think they can.

    Took over 52.5 points, hopeful of a high scoring game.

    Mahomes got the job done despite incredible pressure from the SF D-Line. Great Superbowl.

    Does anyone know of any health insurance plan that is particularly good for Physio / sports injuries.

    I have to get health insurance because my new employer doesn't offer it. It's pretty much all I ever claimed on so I want to get the correct one.

    That line doesn't run on a Saturday, it's only Monday to Friday and then Saturday/Sunday is from Heuston only. You'd have to get the dart from Lansdowne to Connolly, and then the red line luas to Heuston
