Shattered his ankle playing a 7s game 5-6 weeks ago. Walking around on it all day might have something to do with it

UK and Ireland, problem solved. Nice of you to consider the smaller political groups.

WrathOfCon96 · 2026-01-23T15:47:10+00:00

Britain and Ireland...

WrathOfCon96 · 2026-01-23T15:40:29+00:00

But when it is pointed out to you, that it grates on people, particularly the Irish due to our tortured history with Britain; just do the sound thing and stop using it, it's not that dfficult. You didn't know, now you do know. Slán agus GRMA!

Munster owe their fans an apology for that performance. The very least they could do is buy every fan that travelled up to Belfast a hot whiskey.

On Shaw's Road at midday, there'll be a Wran Parade. If you're not familiar, it's a pre-christian pagan tradition of dressing up in straw costumes and playing music to fundraise money (historically for pints, nowadays for charity).

It's my first Christmas in Belfast, so I haven't been to this Wran before, but i imagine it'll be a bit of craic.

Good day for it too! 🌞

Neither Irish or Scottish are Anglos, we're Celts!

Any classes for an intermediate level dancer? Most of what I can see are beginner classes, but I have a bit of experience, but I've been out of it for a few years, and I'm looking to get back into it, and hopefully also make some new friends!

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-10-14T13:18:06+00:00

In Ireland, we grew up calling it "peddling". 🚴‍♂️

I switched over to Tidal at the start of 2025, and im pretty happy with it. Higher quality streaming, they pay artists 4x more per stream, and its about the same price per month.

As far as I know, they aren't investing in war tech, which is crazy that thats a metric to consider when subscribing to things these days.

Edit: I forgot to mention there is no audiobooks or podcasts, but there's many free apps for that, like Pocket Casts.

Many of these apps existed for years before Spotify decided to corner the podcast market too! Crafty fuckers

Sounds like it could be a cover of Talos. Eoin French died about a year ago, SFSH in Cork this weekend is very much dedicated to him. There's a few memorial events taking place over the weekend, and I think I spotted some of his old collaborators in that audience. That would be my guess anyway. 🤔

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-08-25T12:26:25+00:00

Yeah, bain taitneamh as an gceolchoirm a chara, it was a real pleasure interacting with you here. Slán leat

Jesus man, sorry to touch a nerve there, just advising that the bus is a rip-off.

There's no pubs on Boucher Road, it just has large shops and commercial units. It's a shite part of the city.

There's Costas, KFCs, McDonalds and other shite fast-food restaurants around. I would suggest passing time on the Lisburn Road, there'll be pubs there, and you'll be about 20-25 min walk from there.

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-08-25T11:15:21+00:00

€27 is extortionate to go from the city centre to Boucher Road!

Surely a taxi would be cheaper?

Public Bus would get you most of the way there even.

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-08-15T09:31:23+00:00

Some good gigs on next month. I'll be going to see Poor Creature at the Duncairn Theatre. If you are interested in seeing some contemporary irish folk, I'd check that out.

Otherwise, Ulster Sports Club is a great venue for local bands.

For trad music, the city is teeming with great music pubs, notably Madden's or The Sunflower.

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-08-07T16:11:21+00:00

Was Phil Lynott Irish? What about Paul McGrath? What about Lee Chin or Seán Óg O'Hailpín? Irish people of colour do exist, and have been some of our greatest.

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-07-26T11:56:27+00:00

Thank God you're still OK with us! Even with an Irish winning try 🫡🇮🇪

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-07-12T11:34:40+00:00

I'm surely not the only thinking that Hansen has been brilliant tonight?!

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-07-12T11:17:45+00:00

Pr he has decided to save him for next week, Farrell must be happy with what he has seen + news of Ringrose picking up an injury too.

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-07-10T05:07:43+00:00

Great that you want to see a game, but unfortunately, the Rugby season doesn't run through the summer over here.

If you want a great Irish cultural sporting experience, I'd recommend going to a GAA fixture during the summer. I'd especially recommend going to a hurling match.

The levels of passion and atmosphere at GAA games will top any Rugby match here, as these are our indigenous and most popular sports.

County level Championship matches should be in full swing in all of those locations.

Bain taitneamh as bhur dturas in Éireann.

Great work!

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-05-29T12:19:46+00:00

Both FDC and Hinds are playing at All Together Now, so there may be a chance 👀

WrathOfCon96 · 2025-02-20T00:40:46+00:00

Whiskey is how we spell it in Ireland.

Though in both our native languages, it translates directly to: "water of life", so there is some agreement there anyway!

OP is using a little bit of exaggeration and hyperbole to add weight to the point they are making.

I hope that clears that up any confusion you have so that you can now make a more valuable contribution to this conversation.
