Re: Alec Baldwin Kills Cinematographer
Very sad. One would wonder how this could happen that an actor was handed a lethal weapon. Feel very sorry for Alec Baldwin, a tragic accident that he will relive for the rest of his day's. Don't know how anyone could even think he's responsible for this.

Re: Work & Jobs
So, that's it....my job is advertised. No turning back now. As much as I don't want to leave, bossperson doesn't want me to leave either. So, we've agreed I can do a bit from home (hours to suit myself + payrise), and the new full time person will be in the office.....doing less than I did. I had t...

Re: Tuam Funeral
Read about that this morning, when I saw the bit about the wooden cross being pulled up and used as a weapon, I thought we have definitely reached a new low. V upsetting for the family of whoever is buried there - disgraceful carry on.

Re: Joe Duffy's Liveline: otherwise sometimes known as Deathline
I was thinking of asking Leo to cancel GAA because of the lack of diversity at inter-county level. I can't remember when I last saw a person of colour on The Sunday Game either playing or on the panel......it's just not right in this day and age. I have written to my spiritual advisor Dr. Ebun Jose...

Re: TV Ads - best and worst
For me it's that newish Vodafone ad with the kid that seems to feel neglected by his parents as they favour the younger brother. So it shows the mother reading to the younger kid and the older guy visibly upset etc etc. To deal with this issue of sad child who feels left out, the parents buy him a p...

Re: Autumn 2021 General discussion
This afternoon we got heavy drizzle and a light wind, was really lovely. Maybe I'm a bit odd but I love this time of year when the evenings get dark and we get rain. I really love it if we get wind and rain together, nothing better than heading out for a walk in that weather. Don't like the summer a...

Re: Kerry Babies "No desire to press charges"
Does this strike anyone else as most odd, and unacceptable? Surely a brutal murder such as this should and must be investigated and the offender prosecuted as appropriate? This is very strange alright, surely if the person who committed this crime is detected, then there will be some sort of conseq...

Well if this is coming to Galway I hope something is done about the traffic situation there although the link below does state Oranmore as the possible location. Had to collect my son from nuig last Friday and it took over an hour from the clinic roundabout to nuig. Granted it was just around rush h...

Re: Supermarket fruit and veg quality / lack of in season Irish produce
Anyone know where you can get a decent Scallions (spring onions?). Its only occasionally and not in any particular season that any of the main supermarkets have good stock. Most of the stock seems to have been stored for months before going on sale. We grew a limited supply ourselves this year but ...

He was lucky you found him ;) He was and so was I. Usually check them twice a day and all was fine yesterday evening around 8pm so it was sometime during the night/ early morning he got stuck. It was very mild but I'm sure if the weather was cold an animal wouldnt fare out so well up to their back ...

Re: Farming pics
Look what greeted me when I went to check on cattle. Totally stuck in drain. No budging him, needed tractor and front loader and a bit of help. Lifted out, was fine but as I started to repair fence he turned and headed straight back to the hole he was just lifted from!

Will was some character. Wasn't he just!! Have a 16 year old here and he watched FC just for Will and the overall 'comedy factor' of Fair City. I was warned tho not to let on to his friends he watched it or his reputation would be ruined. Not sure if its worth it now Will is gone, we might have to ...

Oh God, just seeing this now. I was on boards for years, rarely posted but ODB was one of my favourite posters.
