    Is the premiership english? I know its based in England but all the top teams are foreign owned, managed and most of the top players are non-english. Its not unusual to have a team without an english born player on the pitch.
    Sure didn't england win the world cup in 1966, as they continue to remind everyone:rolleyes:

    No, they remind themselves, and rightly so. It was a great accomplishment, just like Ronnie Delaney was for us, what, all of 58 years ago. It's their tv stations, they can say what they like. We, along with other countries, merely piggyback off their channels and have no say in what they say. Anyway, we are not shy in talking about Italia 90 over and over.

    I don't think the Scots, Northern Irish or Welsh would agree.;)

    For VAT purposes kids stop being kids at the age of 11 - wtf - just realised this when I went to get a school jumper for my eldest who is starting secondary. Actually wanted a size 32 but they only start at size 34 which is deemed adult size. Another thing - spotted a size 46 school jumper - scary to think of kids that big.

    I'm the very same. It's not looking good at the moment. F€cking overnight ferry from rosslare is starting to look like an option. Don't fancy the 9 hour drive through France though.

    BASTARDS

    Ryan Air from Knock. The same flight was cancelled yesterday! They re booked some of those on tomorrow's flight so I'm hoping the same flight won't be cancelled again! A delay I can handle but cancellation will be hard to swallow!

    Hopefully you will get out.

    I'm due to go Spain from Dublin on Friday. Yesterdays cancelled and todays delayed.I really dont want to have to tell 3 kids that they're not going.
    Crazy to think that a small percentage of ATC staff in 1 country can cause such disruption.

    Taxi drivers. I had one stop dead on a mail road for no reason and a guy stop on a roundabout to let out a fair in the last 24 hours. Professional drivers should get double the fines for this BS. It is a small minority of taxi drivers that are professional in carrying out their job and how they drive
