    Would have been wt the match only we had a night away booked. Instead had to find a pub that would show it (man utd match on at the same time). But then we stayed for the next match to see who we'd be playing in the semis 😄

    As a Royal I can't thank your post DvB 🤣, wish we could get back to the days when these games were competitive.

    Booked a few days away in Spain today, going in just two weeks. With Mam dying two weeks ago I just said to the wife - life is for living. Cousin has a place over there, getting it for free, cheap flights because we could be flexible with days and times.

    Just going to go over there and chill out for 5 days.

    I'm still bitter over the 4 game saga in the early 90s... 😉

    All kidding aside the GAA need to do something, croker was about a quarter full today, 10 years ago that would have had 60k at least at it.

    Championship starts too early imo.

    I was at them games in '91. The Leinster championship is a joke at this stage alright.

    Yeah enjoy the break, getting away from the day to day will do you good given everything you've been through. And you're spot on, life is for living, think we all allow ourselves to forget that far too much.

    I was at the 3 draws, was working for the fourth and was gutted when we blew it at the death.

    Great drama though, made the championship, especially with no back door in those days.

    Sickener was after those 4 epic games we ended up playing 11 games in the championship that year and didn't even win it!

    Down beat us in the final, they got off to a good lead and we hadn't the energy to catch them.

    Just checked and Meath played 10 games that year and it took us 8 just to win Leinster!

    Ha ha, would if I could pal. My wife and myself shagged off to Spain in April after my Mam died in March for 4 days on the cheapest flights we could get. If you can at all get away for a bit of R&R try to take it, glad to see you back on here ❤️

    We are officially into the BER months now which means double digit day is only a couple of weeks away and it will just fly in then.

    Am off to Portugal on Thursday morning for 5 days for a bit of a break so looking forward to that.

    Once September gets going more and more Christmas related stuff will start ramping up, can't wait!

    Off for the grocery shop now so will keep an eye out for any out of season bits. Dunnes can be slow though so not confident.

    I also suspect the lowest those tubs will go this year is €5

    Agree.

    My dunnes had nothing, not even the tubs.
