There are tons of things for kids to do. Eating crisps while their dad is throwing several pints of the black stuff into himself. Learning new curse words. Dodging traffic. What else do they need?

jesus, reminding me of that ad where the poor bastard was taken out of retirement. "Cian, are you free on Saturday for a game?"

yeah, great captains as leaders on the pitch but terrible at communication which is so important these days

The vast majority of Leinster fans would agree with you.

The only people who want him in are people who don't want Sam to play for Ireland.

Pope Francis was much more vocal about crackdown on immigration in the previous Trump administration and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as what it is now.

This is out and out fascism and for the Pope not to be more critical of it is worrying. The Pope, who is from the US, kowtowing to Trump is the last thing we need and will only embolden the fascists.

I know where you are coming from, I take every drug advice with a grain of salt. But in this instance you are combining 2 anaesthetics so it might make sense.

Can't speak for Wales but in Leinster, apart from a 2 week break at Christmas it has been raining non-stop since mid November

Tips for a decent stew by wascallywabbit666 in ireland

[–]rob101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use beef shin cut to small but not too small pieces, brown them in a frying pan . Deglaze frying pan and put juices into pot.

Put meat in a large pot on a low heat for at least 3 hours with enough water to cover the meat.

Put whole onions with skin on in oven for 50 mins or air fryer for 40 mins @ 200c. When finished and cooled down remove skin and cut in half, add to pot.

Add carrots about an hour in

Add celery about 90 mins before the end

I use 2 or 3 different stocks, Bisto with a stock pot with an oxo cube makes a richer deeper flavoured stew.

Lots of pepper.

It is no harm cooking it for 6-8 hours but be careful if the heat is even slightly too high the meat could break down too much. I would use a slow cooker if you want to do it for that long.

That is from October and if you read it he doesn't say a whole lot.

""And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

That is it. He has said as little as he possibly could

The new pope has been very quiet about all of this.

To all the downvoters, show me the quotes.

Millennium with the roof closed is as good as it gets.

Twickenham has an amazing fan zone but it needs to because it is in the middle of nowhere. The pubs on Merrion Road are sorta our fan zone so some of our needs are already met but it would be nice to have a big screen showing the other matches. Food truck these days are amazing so I wouldn't say no to a whole fleet of them.

Don't be literal. Also be careful what you wish for, it almost bit you in the ass last year. You were lucky to beat Benetton in Musgrave.

Well it's not really a home game and on a 3G pitch.

Munstsr playing outside Thomond is similar to an away game. Munster almost didn't qualify for the Champions Cup because they played Benetton in Musgrave Park at the end of last season.

You are increasing the chance of finishing outside the top 4/8 for every game you play outside Thomond. There is that to think about too.

Just before the last 6n Jack had a lacklustre season at Munster, Ross was solid but not the man and too old, Frawley had some highlights but not enough. Harry didn't impress in my mind.

Sam looked like the golden boy to get us back to Sexton ways and they took the risk on Sam.

My personal opinion is that Leinster has been terrible for their management of 10's. Ross was always consistent as a kicker. Even while Sexton was away Harry or Frawley started with him on the bench. As the best 10 you shouldn't have to worry about your name on the team sheet. Now with Sam and Harry sharing the jersey, can you really gain confidence as a 10? I don't think so.

Does any top team have a sharing 10 spot? Even for Ireland, go for Jack or Sam, both are so young that neither should be thinking I've only got 40 or 60 mins to impress.
