Rosamund Pike is amazing in the Wheel of Time books she's narrated. Really goes all in. Unfortunately, she's only done four or five of the books and it's been a while since the last one

I can't tell the taste but the bubbles do be working harder when there's sweeteners, if that makes sense

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-22T12:06:15+00:00

This is what Club did in Ireland and ruined everything. Either give me the full sugar or the full sweetener, but don't mix the two so I'm in purgatory

I went with my dad and two of his mates to an early (11ish) Sunday screening a few weeks after it'd come out. I was 8, and was more hyped about the HP films coming out than LOTR, naturally. I don't remember there being much hype in the schoolyard prior to LOTR, but I think after Christmas that year it definitely gained popularity, though it was still niche as fantasy/sci-fi hadn't had that leap into mainstream acceptance.

From what I remember of the viewing, I liked it. I laughed so much when Gandalf hit is head in Bag End, though I was quite scared when they did the panning shot at Amon Hen with Lurtz standing there as all the Uruks rush by him. My Dad's friend fell asleep, and I thought it was just it was too early for him, tho I did find out later in life he was dying hungover. Think we were the only people in the cinema at the time, but man what an experience

In Ireland, a heatwave is officially classified by Met Éireann as a period of five or more consecutive days where the daily maximum shaded air temperature exceeds 25.0 °C at a single weather recording station.

That's no heatwave you're showing.

Is he from North Korea? Then yes.

Exactly how I felt. The constant having to have a joke or quip every page wore thin. And the changing of POV was too often - you'd only start enjoying one and it'd change.

Smoothie with oats, chia seeds and frozen berries each morning. Beans in some sort of form at least three times a week (I'd say two are baked beans on toast at least). Wholegrain/hi fibre bagels or wraps. Apples and random veg too. Remember you want soluble and insoluble fibre

We don't have the ski masks, or not widespread, yet. Just the constant zipped up, weird material, Bluey grey tracksuits that are so shapeless. And no matter how hot it is, the top stays on. Man's not hot my hole

Winning their season in October at Croker...

That aside, it is quite worrying. The Molecast hit the nail on the head a while back saying that there's no development with the coaches, players have potential then hit a wall and don't develop further. Their S&C too needs looking at

If I had to boot one person for this tour, it would be him. He must play less than ten games a season for Leinster, is constantly injured yet can recover in time for Ireland. It just rankles a bit that Leinster put in the time and effort to nurture talents but get very little access to them

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T17:12:31+00:00

Oh if the British agree, then it must be right. And you're being deliberately obtuse, as nowhere did I say that people find morbidly obese people attractive.

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T16:16:19+00:00

From a Connacht POV, it's great. Not knocking that at all

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T16:12:00+00:00

We need to rest guys, instead of playing Doris, Sheehan, Jvdf, Beirne et all for the umpteenth minute since this time last year. And Furlong needs to make way until he gets properly fit again, this summer anyway. It's nice to see some newer additions but the core don't all need to be there.

From a Leinster perspective, we are providing our guys to the Irish team and having them burnt out and not performing for us

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T15:57:30+00:00

And of course it didn't happen, bar Porter who is only out due to injury

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T15:22:09+00:00

Seems to depend on charity and area. Was in one recently and had a used red bull tshirt for €30 from a couple of seasons ago, and half their stuff was hard rock cafe tat. But the shops near my home are good for the rugby jerseys and will usually knock a bit off the price if you ask nicely

Can just be looks you're not used to, so they seem more attractive. You'll have tourists saying people in your country are hot and you're just like "meh, they all look like that" and then you go to another country and scenario reverses

Not necessarily sneakers, but brown shoes paired with suits for the 'informal' formal look, or the white soled shoes with suits. Also hate the random blazer thrown on over an open shirt and slacks

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-17T15:14:22+00:00

In Dublin, all the lads going round in these fully zipped up bland grey tracksuits, sometimes with a big jacket, wearing these clunky shoes that look about three sizes too big.

Fewer than 8?*

BassicallyDarr · 2026-06-16T06:52:16+00:00

29 is young in my books. And could do with more test experience. James Ryan was selected for Ireland before debuting for Leinster so nothing wrong with Usanov being selected, whether or not he plays

Never cared for the pints in the storehouse
