We confused the Windies by having a full day of perfect conditions in Clontarf :lol: :lol:

First one-day international, Clontarf

Ireland 303-6 (50.0 overs) Balbirnie 112, Tector 56; Forde 3-68

West Indies 179 all out (34.1 overs) Chase 55, Forde 38; McCarthy 4-32

Ireland won by 124 runs ...

An Israeli perspective on the stuttering aid supplies into Gaza.

Interesting the view on the US and the pressure they put on.

Randy Fine, republican congressman from Florida, wants Gaza nuked in response to the murder of two Jewish diplomats in Washington DC yesterday.

Sounds like a nice chap.

Someone in DC (besides Musk) is annoyed by the ANC and has told Donny about it.

Is it potentially in part due to the ANC's stance on Palestine/Israel? The Israeli lobby are very meticulous in identifying opponents and then strategically going after them.

Not ruling it out completely but ...

And what if Stamford Bridge hadden't taken place a couple of week before - could have been a very different result at Hastings.

In a way, that's one of the most fascinating things about the Normans. They were the grasping social climbing upstarts of European aristocracy who played fast ...

You are going to know more about this than me of course, but I think, at the top level, they have one thing on their minds - the white farmers - and I really don't believe they know enough, or care enough, about "Africa" to take it any further than that. There are undoubtable good people ...

The Normans are fücking awesome and anyone who thinks different is a knob.

Normans are Vikings - North Men, so are awesome by definition (I know that is only part of the Norman story)

Anyway, my youngest daughter was really into history at school. We went over to Battle Abbey a few ...

Black clouds on the horizon.

Elon Musk said Tesla's robotaxis will be limited to certain parts of Austin and avoid intersections the company deems unsafe after the CEO was asked on TV about Business Insider's reporting on a critical error made by Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised software.

See this is an illustration of how even the bright shiny new Sinn Fein, who no longer contain too many convicted murderers as active Politicians, are still completely captured by their bullshit dogma !

Nearly nine centuries after the Normans clanked ashore with swords and armour, Ireland is ...

Slick was not hallucinating- kick off is on a Thursday to avoid a clash with the winter olympics opening ceremony. I am going to vomit

Well then play it on Saturday you pricks.

The Gary Lineker one was great.

There'll be some performative fake sympathy where he bigs himself up and then the digs will continue.

Concerning that he even has that much though.

Seems so, but for a deranged rant it's the response that is ridicules.

Went off on one about Taylor swift as well.
That's a bit risky. Those swifties are fairly mental.

It's no longer TDS - I've got TFS - Fatigue and the non-sensical acts and obvious corruption

You'd have to assume some of that is by design.

We're only a few months in and I can barely touch the news anymore, much less laugh or get angry at it.

Of course - it's all part of the Project ...

Keep it going another week please.

Well at least Munster know how to win down south, & I'm sure plenty of the fans will go down to see some of their departing players close out their careers

It can be a dream tour for Munster, first Sharks then Bulls then Stormers in the final. :eek ...

No intention of going through phases or planned attack

So it was only the mud that stopped Russia?

It's not quite as simple as that.

Nevermind his talent on the field, his story off the field was so inspirational. He deserved longer.

Care to share?

Very sad. Really young.

Strange that it's a topic of much interest to the owner of xitter.

Bumped into Schalk Burger in Cape town while we were on tour there. He's sound as is his missus.

In defence of pharma companies (I know), bringing a drug to market is enormously time consuming and expensive, with all the cost committed up front.

And even potential blockbusters can fall at a very late stage.

They've run out of "easy" drugs to make so future drugs will become progressively ...

His latest word salad about the cost of medicines is illuminating. His admin understands that there is a problem but severely lacking when it comes to cause and resolution.

Drugs in US are expensive because they refuse to engage in the collective bargaining that "socialist" countries do.

And also ...

Stupid that this performative nonsense is needed but Zelensky is playing a blinder since that white house ambush.

Mack Hansen out for 6 weeks with an injured ankle
Tom Curry didn't look too good coming off after 20 minutes with a hamstring problem

Would be awful for the players to miss out at this stage.

From a Lions POV they play in positions with good depth but hopefully they make it.

It's pretty ...

I come here for the badly informed speculation, not this facts bollocks

You can read every other post for that.

Give yourself a little bit of credit on the bollocks spouting front ...

And the tariff drop with China comes as a 90 day pause. Sold as a win... when all it's doing is adding uncertainty. You're supposed to forecasting and purchasing for the Christmas surge over this period - now you're potentially screwed if you do and screwed if you don't. What a shite sandwich ...

Pretty standard that the guys who are complete poes on the pitch are pretty sound off it.

Not heard great stuff about Keith Wood.
