The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

Apollo 11 the documentary is fab. Was a remarkable feat IMO, the physics and calculus that would have gone into that is amazing. Timing the runs in and out of orbit, getting the Eagle and Colombia to hook up again and then the 30s or so of blackout at re-entry when no-one knows if the astronauts have survived. Fantastic documentary.

I thought the same thing. I saw a 94/95 Ireland jersey, in very good condition too. It was €100 quid. As much as I wanted it, I refuse to pay that much.

I might get something from their online shop though. They've some early 90's Milan and Jive that are absolutely gorgeous.

They've some pretty cool player issue track tops and training jumpers that are decent prices.

I dropped in on lunch today, they'd some deadly stuff but I have to admit the prices on some were mental. Had hoped to pick up some early 90s spurs stuff and was looking at a 97 Ginola but it was 65 quid. Granted they'd some cheaper ones the newer you go, but certainly not any bargains with the older stuff.

A vintage football jersey pop up shop is opening up in Dublin tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a few early/mid 90's United and Milan jerseys. It's only open until the 10th of November, so anyone interested needs to get there quickly.

Where is it opening?

South Anne Street.

I think it's the unit next to Kehoes Pub.

What’s the issue?

The router just isn't getting any signal. They eventually waived all the fees. So a guy will come out on Wednesday and install a new access point etc. It actually worked out kinda well, because my EIR ends on Thursday and it means I won't be paying for an overlapping week.

Does anyone know if you actually need a virgin media / upc connection point screwed to the wall. There was one there when I moved in, but it's gone now and there is just a coax cable coming out of the wall. Can I plug into that?

Yep. You might need a splitter or some kind of connector, but you can buy those in any place that sells cabling etc, like power city.

I have the Bose Soundsport (wireless but the earphones themselves are wired together) and I am fairly find of them. Always had a lot of trouble with earphones sliding out but these are fairly solid.

This is interesting. I don't so much mind if there are issues with it, really just interested if it is included in the package or not.

Does anyone have Virgin Broadband but not Virgin TV?

I am wondering does the Virgin Sport app that comes with Broadband include eirsport, and if so does it stream to the TV well. I am about to switch and could buy the TV, but it'd just be for eirsport. Not sure if worth it.

I do. I never thought to test that. I'll try figure it out and let you know.

Anyone with any suggestions on where to watch the Munster match in Brussels this weekend?

It starts slowly, I'll grant you. The frame rate can be a bit jarring alright. I imagine it will be amazing on a high spec PC

The production at parts is movie quality. GTA 5 is amazing in its own right but RDR2 takes it up a notch.

A year late but RDR2 is an absolute masterpiece. Rockstar have done it again.

Thought it was a bit meh to be honest.

For a few hours it was interesting, then I got bored of it.

It'll probably be better on PC, I know I found the console graphics and framerate really negatively affected the experience.

I couldn't get into it. I found knocking about on the horse to be a pain in the arse to be honest. I might get it again when it comes out on PC (on sale).

Can anyone recommend good bluetooth earphones for jogging etc. I'd love to get Airpods (I can't stand buds that go into your ear canal) but they're fairly pricey and some people online saying they're having issues with them with Garmin Vivoactives

I bought these recently and am really pleased with them. They're in ear though so probably not your style. The bass is surprisingly good for the price of them.

I personally think Airpods aren't great, especially for the price. The fact that airpods kinda sit on your ear rather than in your ear mean there is a ton of sound bleed from surrounding noise. I want to be able to perfectly hear whatever I'm listening to.

Worth a shot.

I have the JBL Reflect Mini 2, a bit pricier than that, but great sound quality, in ear buds that actually stick. My only problem is that they're so secure and snug, I can hear my footfalls through the earbuds a little, which isn't a massive deal but is noticable.
