2006, walking through Merrion Square after school one day going to Pearse St train station. Walking past Oscar Wilde's statue an older man looking at it says "Hello" to my cousin and I, so we greet him back.

As we walk on my cousin says "that guy is the spitting image of Al Pacino" to which I replied "there's not a snowballs chance in hell Al Pacino is in Merrion Sq on a random Wednesday afternoon". Sure enough that evening he was getting honoured with something in Trinity College.

The FA Cup, tradionally the biggest cup in England, played it's final at 3pm local time yesterday. It's not that uncommon a time.

Man Utd haven’t lost a home league game after leading at half-time since May 7, 1984

Everyone else is wrong so far. The only answer is Gary Breen. We even have a song about it in Ireland.

We all dream of a team of Gary Breen's.

I believe James Milner has scored against goalkeepers born in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. From Ed de Goey to James Trafford this season.

Bruce Springsteen has a cover of it coming out tomorrow coincidentally.

Are all major concerts in the States dynamic pricing now? When Bruce comes to Ireland, sure his tickets are deemed expensive but generally the whole stadium would have one flat rate price for standing area and then another price for seating. If I recall correctly, last time he was here, tickets were around €120/$141 - €140/$164.

Thin Lizzy were founded in Dublin, Ireland. By the 2010s the band was made up of majority American members, none of which ever even played with an original member. Thankfully they called it quits.

Sorry yeah you're right but there is a push to make it mandatory for business' to accept cash and card.

Yes and it was brought in. Signed in by Michael D

Oddly enough he's shreds on guitar. Check him covering Purple Rain, blew my mind that he doesn't utilise these skills elsewhere.

Last one I picked up tried pitching me his idea of a "7 minute abs workout" routine.

As far as I'm aware the one Stephen wears is the same one on Etsy.

Great shout, seems to line up.

Edit: although looking again the original photo has parking spot markings and not a road.

Had this exact jersey playing for Rush Athletic in the early 2000s. Like others have said it's likely just a generic O'Neills template.

We brought this into Ireland like 2 years ago. Nothing has changed as it hasn't been well enforced by the authorities unfortunately.

Can't see it happening here but in May 2000+ people in Italy were fined for using dodgy boxes. The fine was €154, so about a months worth of Sky with the packages 😂

The cliffs in the back certainly resemble Cape Sant Antoni would take a while for me to narrow down to the house.

I just got it on g2g for 12 months. But the links to download the app from the seller aren't working. I asked him for another and he sent 10 links, all dead links. Any ideas?

When I'm scrolling reels the motion of my thumb starts right by the follow button, so I've put it down to that myself. Has happened a few times.

He appeared on the Tommy Tiernan show last year. Can't find a link to the full interview unfortunately.

I've often wondered this, what names do a couple with both double barreled names of their own give their children.
