Yep, I agree, my bad, I read only the rugby part. After oxbow comment I saw that they picked and chose, like the salaries or they put ice and field hockey together, why not rugby league and union also?Uncle fester wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 7:42 pmBit of a silly list but rugby is a bit of a niche sport even in some of the countries that are pretty strong in it.

Carlow body: Inquiry after 'dead man' brought into post office
An investigation has begun after claims that the body of a dead man was taken into Irish post office in an attempt to claim his pension. Reports suggest a deceased pensioner was "propped up by two men" as his body was carried into the building in County Carlow, according to the Irish Times. It said the two men "dropped" the body and fled when staff questioned them.
Gardaí (Irish police) are investigating the circumstances surrounding the "unexplained death of an elderly male". A Garda spokesman would not comment on the specifics of the incident which happened at a post office in Carlow town on Friday morning but released a brief statement. "The services of the Garda Technical Bureau and the Office of the State Pathologist have been requested," it said. "A post mortem will be conducted by the Office of the State Pathologist, the results of which will determine the course of the investigation."
The Irish Times said it understood that a concerned staff member "enquired about the wellbeing of the man being propped up" when the group approached the post office counter. The two men fled, dropping the body at the scene and when staff went to check on the elderly man they were shocked to discover he was dead, the paper said.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that earlier on Friday, a man had called in to the post office on Staplestown Road in Carlow and asked to collect a pension on behalf of an elderly man. That request was refused as staff told him the pensioner had to be present in order to release the money.
A short time later, two men arrived back with a man aged in his 60s who "collapsed" in the post office. "Detectives are now investigating if the man was already dead when he was brought to the post office," RTÉ said.
It reported that a nearby house has been "sealed off as a crime scene".

Wonder if his eyes were open then?
Some countries don't take serious crime very seriously. Just the other day I read about a guy who raped a woman at knife point, slashed her clothes and cut her, and forced her to tell him she was his bitch as she was being raped - he got 5.5 years.GogLais wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 3:12 pmI’m just amazed that he could be eligible for parole after only ten years.Uncle fester wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:00 pmHe's certainly doing his best to ensure that he never gets out of prison.inactionman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:28 pm What an arse.

Perhaps the worst I can recall is the chap in Canada who sat next to a young man on a bus and proceeded to almost cut his head off with a knife and ate at least one of his eyeballs. He served about 5 years before he was released.

So last month I had a nail in a tyre on my car. while I waited for the repair (£220), I used my son's car to get to work and park at the train station.
On the first morning I bought a 3 day ticket via Ringo. I swear I chose the right car reg, but it was all under my main car, which I failed to notice.
I then got 3 separate fines in the post for the 3 days (£85 each, £50 if I pay soon).
I appealed all 3, sending proof the of the 3 day ticket and the £750 annual ticket for the main car. All 3 appears we copy and paste identical responses.
Today, I got 3 responses...
The first one stated they've accepted my explanation, no fine to pay.
The next 2 stated, fuck you, pay, but they're being nice so I can pay £20 each.

Much as BMW make lovely cars that are very comfortable to drive, I wish they'd bin this runflat idea. This isn't a battlefield, I don't need to drive 50 miles on punctured tyres, and the very concept limits the range you can go - 50 miles isn't enough to get home and there's no spare or repair kit, so you're screwed if kwikfit is shut.Insane_Homer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:44 amthis, 430D.inactionman wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:20 am Sounds like a fecking run-flat - I had a 5 series beemer and these were the bane of my life, they seemed to attract nails and other sharp bits of metal and no sod would ever agree to patch them.
