    Gotham Pizzeria (Stillorgan and Sth Anne St Dublin) do a pizza called the Little Italy which contains "Bacon and spring onion, baby roast potato, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil pesto"
    It is an absolutely gorgeous pizza!

    Doesnt matter what you throw on it, American pizza's are garbage.

    Reminds me of a story I heard a few years ago, US Navy ship arrives in an Italian port, sailors run off on shore leave.
    One guy runs back and shouts "guess what! They sell pizza here!"

    I really want that to be true because it panders to all my prejudices.

    It's not that hard :confused:

    Dylan's dad came onto mark his potential future son in law in a game.
    Age not being a factor in who lines out.

    Sure, it would've made sense if I knew what a junior B was beforehand. I initially thought it had something to do with marking the junior cert and corporal punishment :o

    Too Americanese to travel, most people wouldn't get it.
    I'm not American and didn't get it either.

    Mark in a game - cover the opponent. Defend against a particular player.
    Line out - start the game.

    Junior refers to the grade of play, not age. GAA = Senior, Intermediate, Junior A, Junior B, etc.

    Junior B (also affectionately known as the Junior Bellies) can be a combination of young lads on the way up, auld lads on the way down and other assorted player types.

    Didn't get a joke either. From what I could see it was just a pic of a group of kids in wheelchairs

    It was a reference to the 9 guys falling off the lorry in the town over the weekend celebrating their county win.

    You don't want to get the joke. There's a video going around of about 8 people falling 10ft to the ground from a trailer. They were celebrating Enniskerry winning a Junior B cup. The video I saw isn't an easy watch.

    There are three videos doing the rounds on whatsapp that I saw (probably a lot more). The one directly at the back of the bus is f**king horrible, thankfully they are all okay - no serious injuries or head injuries etc.

    That's the one I'm talking about. You see one person landing on their head and neck. Horrible.

    They were talking about it at work today, didn't loads of them have to have surgery? I wouldn't call that not having serious injuries...

    Compared to what they could have had, certainly none of them can be said to have serious injuries.

    You would expect one or two "life changing" injuries from that, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

    When your a moderator or admin you get to annoy the people who regularly read and post in a thread by messing around trying to be funny.
