Leinster is up to its fourth "Team Talk/Gossip/Rumour Thread". Munster is only on its third (Ulster/Connact on first lol). Checkmate Munster fans, Leinster are clearly better.

Must be all that transfer gossip..oooh :eek:

Interesting enough but the poster demo-graph here would definitely mirror the provincial success, I remember a few years back when Munster were winning Heineken cups there was mostly Munster fans posting here, then of course in the last few years it's been Leinster fans, and next year naturally it'll be mostly.... Connacht fans.

Sorry Awec.

Quality over quantity.

We are the chosen few.

I'm assuming your using Wordpress.com rather than Wordpress.org? The Suits theme (which is a new free one) seems pretty decent. It's a straight forward theme and easy to read from the looks of it. The Twenty Eleven theme is similar.

I am using wordpress.com, yes. After looking at it again today, I've opted for Bold Life for a while, it's fairly simple but easy to navigate.

As for my header problem, I asked a friend of mine for help and he managed to provide it... I was too ashamed to show anyone else my attempts :pac:

It still looks amateurish enough, I'm not really cut out for making things look good... all I know how to do is write

Yeah it's hard to believe the Ulster team talk thread is three years old.

I imagine the daily visitor distribution here must be something like 50% Leinster, 30% Munster, 10% Ulster, 5% Connacht, 5% Neutral

That's the main thing though. Muck around with it for a bit and you'll settle on what you want. I didn't find wordpress the best when it comes to learning it. A lot of the stuff I just figured out from messing about and trial and error. Things like how to do pull quotes etc isn't exactly obvious.

Go choose some others!

Could do with a few more posters of the Ulsterian persuasion.

Whoop whoop. Boss decided we should call it a day at that. T-20 mins til weekend beers.

Also the weather here is just weird at the moment. I've seen summer days in Ireland less pleasant than this.

The new music on the sky menu is driving me nuts.

Disarmingly mild. I'm waiting for a bite.

andrewdcs · 11-01-2014 2:46am

Anyone know any Irish pubs in Seattle that will show the Munster game tomorrow (clashes with prem league so bit tricky for expats, outnumbered by EPL fans)

Podge_irl · 12-01-2014 8:40pm

There is some bloody good American Football on at the moment...

(sorry lads, season almost over!)

Hagz · 12-01-2014 8:43pm

Don't you dare apologise.

There's enough waffle about soccer on here.

mfceiling · 12-01-2014 11:11pm

I know that this is an off topic thread but here's a question that has been bugging me for a while, and i can't be arsed opening a thread for it......

When was the last time a conversion was charged down?

dregin · 12-01-2014 11:35pm

DOC against Argentina to ensure Ireland beat em by the record margin?

It was the last kick of the game.

dregin · 12-01-2014 11:36pm

This one.

Many many gorgeous Irish cailíns doing well on UK telly at the moment. Yer wan from Merlin, Angela Scanlon, Sherlock wan, and that comedienne Aisling Bea (O'Sullivan), shes savage, funny and cute out.

However more importantly...

Whaddya mean theres no rugby on the weekend of the 24th/25th/26th???!!!

OldRio · 13-01-2014 10:33pm

2nd Feb is a biggie. Ireland v Scotland at 3.00pm then the Super Bowl at about 11.30 pm.

Swiwi. · 14-01-2014 10:49pm

Well, after all that, I'm expecting a spike in Ireland's birthrate about 9 months down the line.

Pudsy33 · 14-01-2014 10:50pm

We are back! That was more painful then I'd care to admit.

Stheno · 14-01-2014 10:52pm

I have a stupid question after watching Leinster Castres last Sunday

It either looked like there was a stripe on the backside of the Castres players shorts in the middle, or that they were wearing a harness?

Is it just weird shorts design?

Blast all of you who thanked the mods in their private playground thread.

I'm going to be up half the night trolling and trying to make sure they earn their vast Boards.ie salaries.
