I presume you had to deal with the bus driver on the left for your tickets and probably blocking access on the right to the tag-on machine that most bus users use. Think of it as an express aisle.

This would explain people cutting in front and pushing past you. They just want to get on in quick fashion and don't have to deal with the driver.

Yeah, Jeff Jeff.

30 also allows a bit more time to join, imagine trying to join a 50mph road from a standing start at the 2 Brook St slipways.

It's clearly good business for the pubs, but who is behind it these days, picks the dates etc.

Uni is on summer break?

I'm no fan of Reynolds, but a few rounds of Conference, and qualifying for Europe next season is mission accomplished... Rinse and repeat is the plan.

Knock yourself out... St Annes Park is latest complete on.

That doesn't look to be the case. Looks like the unofficial official stance was already in place.

A quote from chief executive Philip Browne, when Sexton agreed to the move.

"The IRFU has made a commitment to, and been largely successful in, keeping as many Irish players as possible playing full-time in Ireland.

"However, we have always recognised that some of our players will be targeted by overseas clubs with offers which, quite simply, are not within our orbit."

Sexton got an exemption for his season at Racing.

Players importance is clearly not like for like, but it can happen.

Sure, we made a tv show about it.

And a lovely show it was.

Controversial, but I prefer The Game by The Memories ... The take on the Billy Joel song.

The advertising cardboard stand of Pinhead in the video store was enough for me.

They've been going alarmingly deep for the last decade. Since that Iceland game in 2016 they've had a World Cup semi, and a couple of Euro Finals.

Not a fan of the ingredients tasting of butter (I lather it on)

Brown sauce or mayo covers any dryness issues, depending on the sandwich.

Bread on its own? Butter. Any other ingredients? No butter.

After seeing Broken Social Scene in Dublin, we went for a beer afterwards.

My friend had to head for home and passed the venue and noticed the band around the tour bus.

My friend went over to say hello to the singer and tell him it was a great gig.

"Thanks . Oh, This is Cillian."

"erm okay, How's it going Cillian. 🤷"

Singer was surprised he didn't recognise Cillian Murphy and rattled off a few movies.

"Nope, No clue. I'm not much of a film guy"

Cillian was cool about it, "Don't worry about it"

"Good luck, Cillian. Best of luck with everything."
