The "Housewives favourite" got a gong. Does this mean he's no longer Irish? http://sport.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2232901,00.html

Is it just me or is there a very definite agenda in the Irish media that is scarily parallel to our English neighbours? Much was made of "fans" not turning up, or leaving early, but I wonder how many in our rag trade remember dark days in Dalyer with better players than now (Steve Heighway...

Am I dreaming or are they singing the Fields of Athenry in Cardiff? I'm watching TV5 Monde, heard it and the commentators are yet to mention it!

I can't help but wonder will mad George go the whole hog and invade Iran after his bombastic and aggressive speech last night, which no doubt wasn't answered int he most appeasing way by the Iranian Pres (we're ready to fill the vacuum). But by saying they were going to confront Iranian...

I'm surprised given the number of "football" fans on the forum that nobody brought this up. The man with the most valuable biscuit tin in sport passed away this weekend after a fight with cancer. just 12hours before he died Shels were being upbraided for not keeping correct accounts, which...

What is the name/address of the website that does the Irish comedy montages. The last one I saw from it was the 1916 parody of the A-Team. They had some brutal ones about Irish life and I think one about the Irish football team. I was trying to find the link to send it to a friend here.

I'm sitting on a partial day off (it's a Holy Day) and listening on satellite to the bould Joe. Oh my god, that's all I can say! There's a topic on about some glazier who wasn't the best, and the company "secretary" is on, and caller after caller are being let loose on her. It's endless...

Just watching the end of Ryanair's deputy CEO and CFO, Howard x, on CNN. He's slapped the head off (technical term for beating up on) BAA and has said that Ryanair's ticket prices will drop by 5-10% and they will encourage mobile use on board. It seems to have been an anti-Heathrow fest, but...

Just a question that I haven't found an answer to. I'm sitting here in Croatia, my ATM card not working, I called AIB, they said it's my fault as my new Laser card means my old ATM is out of date. However, I didn't order a new card, never got a new card, never was notified about a new card or...

This truly scary story from Russia. All I can think is, what an awful way to go, and that if it was in the UK there'd be non-stop Sky coverage looking for the kid and then..... Body Found in Pool Pump Workers at a water park in Kazan have found the body of a 14-year-old boy in a swimming...

In 2 national newspapers and on Montenegrin tv last evening reports of unhappy "buyers" were investigated. Near Tivat, Budva and 1 other unnamed location foreign buyers were dismayed to find out that the properties they bought were not freehold, as they had been told by agents, but instead on...

I'm after a discussion with a former soccer pro on this subject, and we had a bit of a blazing about who we considered cheats. My current gripe is Serena Williams, who's a fine lady, good player, athlete but a poor sportsperson. Witnessing her antics in the last match at Wimbledon it was just...

Never thought I'd mention this, but where is the Ryanair website? I've been trying to get online since last night, is it offline or just something's up with my pc?

I don't know if anyone has gone through this before, but I requested a change in pin number for internet banking etc, I ordered it 3 weeks ago and yet until friday nothing had arrived. I wouldn't mind but it was a Monday morning, and they said it'd be there by Wednesday "or by friday at the...

3 stories have arrived on our Saturday doorsteps this morning that beg tribute to be paid to our media, especially Sky and the other Sun type media sources. 1. The Dutch show was a hoax - as mentioned by one seasoned tv critic on Sky 2 days ago (and he was criticised hugely) the former head of...

Does anyone know a very budget spot in Berlin? I'm having to spend a night in the city on the way to Malta and need a place to crash for a few hours. Cheap and clean is the order of the day!

http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=45&si=1812685&issue_id=15510 This was in the paper today and I am still smiling. What I never realised is that an African nation HAS made it to the World Cup Semis, that there are more fans at a Bohs Rovers game than a Ireland game, that...

This morning's news here is after lifting the lid on a number of hotpsots in the country. It's pretty much a first and an attempt to not pander to the very heavy construction industry here. It's also well timed as the election build up is underway and 2 of the heaviest investors back the chief...

Maybe I'm too advanced in this (though it's not planned by choice), but what are posters up to on St. Patrick's Day? Is it Rome? Croker or a dingy pub in Temple Bar?

Has anyone a good suggestion for a mid range hotel in Bayswater? was there last week and stayed cheap and cheerful but Mam and sis are heading over in 10days and want something a little more comfortable.
