Dickey Betts RIP.

With bird flu now apparently being transmissible to humans and cattle, how long before we're being coerced into taking the latest vaccine for the next pandemic? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13263483/amp/bird-flu-experts-h5n1-virus-human-epidemic-cattle-outbreak.html?ico=amp_articleInli...

Heat them and try actually tightening them a little first with a stillson wrench before loosening, that usually works.

He's not doing anyone any harm, leave him be.
I always read EVC's posts with the inner voice of Rab C. Nesbitt . . makes them even better.

After a chest x-ray, two blood tests and three ECGs the hospital have determined that there's nothing wrong with my heart and my doctor was simply overreacting to high iron levels and that there's a family history of heart issues. What a fukcing relief, it's scary the thoughts that can go through yo...

Had an ECG this morning, the doctor just rang and told me to go straight to hospital which I'm on my way to now . . not looking forward to joining the trolley corridor queues for the night but hey . . at least I'm not in Gaza!

Turgidy sinking beneath a tsunami of his own hubris, the vaunted transition to UK radio has resulted in a stale parody of Norwich radio's finest. Ill-prepared, profoundly ignorant and flailing about in deep waters of the open market. A mere anodyne chancer far removed from the carefully cultivated ...

He was a funny chap, the giggling is contagious

I'd imagine it's a slightly more expensive option to get the mechanic to change the tyres, rather than you going to direct to a dedicated tyre centre yourself. The wheels will also need alignment which most tyre centres can do.

What's Buckys hot take on this re-imagining of Golden brown in the laid back style of Brubeck?

When I saw the title of the thread . . don't know why but this tune came to mind.

I'd heard the show a few times and enjoyed it but had all but forgotten about it until Dec posted here.

Don't take any heed of them Bucky. All this unfounded finger pointing is enough to make ones blood boil. I for one can count on you to make Gubu great . . again welcome to Gubu. Come freely. Go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring.

This site has the distinct vibe of old man yelling at clouds. Which is a pity. That's why Bucky has joined. Bucky's mission is to shake this place up and help GUBU become Ireland's leading discussion site. Bucky will return later with his hot take on the various burning topics. Stay logged in for u...

I watched the first episode of this last week and was somewhat dismayed at the cruelty displayed by the police officers in the cases of these three vulnerable women. Of the the five accused officers, none were actually convicted of anything and offered only to blame their own inexcusable actions on ...

RIP Annie, heard that on the news today. I'd never of thought she was aged 83. I'll always remember her doing interviews and presenting TOGWT as if it was just last week.

Dont want to appear like a creepy stalker type but It's a month today since Isha last posted on Gubu.

It's not quite the same without her daily matriarchal musings.

Anyone know what the story is?

That's an amazing achievement for Johnny and Melissa Kadman, he's obviously a very talented chap, dare I say . . a Chip off the auld block

Some big claims are being proposed about the possible age and building techniques used in the construction of the Gunung Padang pyramid.

We bought our daughter an identical looking 09 Fiesta as her first car a month ago for €3300, however the dealer has had it back for the last week trying to find where its leaking as the carpets were all wet. Apart from that it seems to be a good enough car, but as someone who now has three 08/09 ca...

With revenues totalling between 120-150 million USD per annum for the past few years, I don't think they'll be too stuck for a few euro from a man paying off bills and debts.

Of course he's got form.

The suspect for the frenzied attack on kids in a Dublin crèche was in court on a knife charge just five months ago, it has emerged.

Did they make a child actually review that shite on the toy show? FFS. Wouldn't surprise me that much really. RTE are blatant about spreading their Liberal agenda at every given opportunity.

Someone set up a gofundme page as a way of thanking Caio Benicio, the deliveroo driver who whacked the knife welding lunatic in the face with his motorbike helmet. The man's a hero and the least we can do is buy him a pint so I'm asking you to donate the price of a pint of Guinness in your local to ...

Have to question is there really any such thing as far right and far left? when in reality, their ideologies overlap in many instances.
