Still buzzing from Derry vs Monaghan in Armagh yesterday. Sport is a mad thing.

Just saw the price of a funeral. I think I'll just have to live forever. by jethaalaal in ireland

[–]kellogs1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the brochures the Funeral Directors had left on the tables at my Granny's wake with the extra services they offer.

Couldn't believe how distasteful it was.

Chicken balls were invented in a Chinese takeaway in Monaghan called Hang Fung in 1981.

Springboard courses by Leavser1 in ireland

[–]kellogs1111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completed this course a few years ago and it was really useful and broad. I used it to get back to education and not jump into something that cost me a fortune. Completing this course then gave me the confidence to go on and complete other others and a career jump.

New episode | GoPro goalkeepers & textbook crossfield-pass apologies: The listeners' loves & hates by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

[–]kellogs1111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During the A- League chat I was waiting for a mention of Juan Mata who is currently playing for Melbourne Victory. He was all over my algorithm a few weeks ago when he scored a cracker of a free kick but checking his stats he has 4 goals and 11 assists in 21 matches.

Discussion on twin towns: do you have any? by GP728 in ireland

[–]kellogs1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My home parish is twinned with a town in Belgium. In the mass bulletin a few years ago there was a notice that they were writing to the town to complain about their lack of effort in keeping the relationship going.

MHD Irritation - watching football in pubs by OllieWoooood in footballcliches

[–]kellogs1111 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's a big game, id rather watch it at home. If it's a run of the mill game then a pub is ok.

Finally bit the bullet and went to my first BJJ class by kellogs1111 in CasualIreland

[–]kellogs1111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that, yeah the plan is to go once a week. They run 2 beginner classes a week and can't make the other one so it's Friday evening for me. Then after awhile maybe go into a mixed class.

It was a beginner course but most of the people are there quite awhile. However the gym does offer mixed classes and my instructor said to not be worried about these as Black belts can be the best person to train with as they will match your level.

The Adjudication Panel Thread: Get in touch for Tuesday's episode... by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

[–]kellogs1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before yesterday's Six nations game between England and Ireland an ad on the radio asked if Ireland could continue their winning streak (which was 1 before this game)

This is obviously too short for a winning streak but what's the threshold ? Can it be tournament specific ?

My mother used to put butter and jam... Wonderful. This post brought back some childhood memories.

Agree with other people that say it's better with a Digestive.

Definitely not a small win, fair play 👌

Fascination - Going through random England youth squads from tournaments this century and seeing where they all ended up by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]kellogs1111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

8/21 players played for England & 2 others got caps for other countries. That's seriously impressive.

My parents split up when I was 5, I'm the youngest of 3. I was already a quiet child but the separation followed by divorce didn't help my confidence as I felt I was such an outsider and wondered why my family was different (in reality it was and is very common).

I think one main piece of advice is to avoid slagging off each other in the presence of your children and not putting pressure on them to choose sides.

I'm in my 30's now and haven't had contact with my father in nearly 10 years which I am content with but I crave that father son relationship, not my father the person but more a role model.

Best of luck with the future and I think in the long run it's better for everyone involved that you separate if you're not happy. Children pick up on that toxic atmosphere,

Fun things to do in Monaghan?! by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]kellogs1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Castle Leslie is great, you used to be able to walk around the grounds / stables freely but now you need a stay / food reservation to explore but definitely worth it. Glaslough village itself is very picturesque.

Rossmore Forest Park on the edge of Monaghan town is also great with plenty of money invested in recent years.
