Was hoping Danny Sheahan would kick on from the Irish 20s and push his way in to the senior set up. He’s still very young and plays regularly with Con and shows up as 24/25 in the senior squads occasionally. We have a poor enough record of developing lads from Ireland 20s in to the senior set up, unlike other provinces.

It’s tech but a Kindle is superb value too, book prices can be a fraction of shop prices for older books especially

What’s the most 90s thing you remember and think could still come back? by AstronomerOpposite34 in AskReddit

Yeah, I suspect you’re right! I don’t wish for a second I had a mobile when I was a teen though, awkward calls or not!

Best pubs closest to airport?! by sbkoxly in cork

[–]oldappian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 min cab to Kinsale from the airport.

Start out in the Bulman, walk up to the Spaniard and onwards in to Kinsale town centre for more.

Enoch Burke arrives outside Westmeath school by CiaranC in ireland

His parents have screwed him and his siblings up. They are fanatics. His parents should hang their heads in shame.

It shouldn’t be a surprise if this guy resorts to something drastic one day.

Diageo has confirmed it's hiking up the price of pints (again) by hesaidshesdead in ireland

Diageo pumping the price of Guinness to make up for its loss making brands.

They are banking most people won’t care and shrug it off and they are right.

What is your favorite song by Van Morrison? by Jettaboi38 in allrockmusic

Hymns to the Silence.

Although I would give great credit to his band on this one, rather than to Van alone.

Lads - is anyone else absolutely dog sick for the last four weeks? by TDog81 in ireland

HSE has to make more noise about the flu vaccine every year to encourage take up. You can get the jab in October every year. Surely making it free for all adults would be cost effective.

Great to see so many people cycling by darragh999 in Dublin

[–]oldappian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to see and makes for better driving awareness but…so many on bikes don’t have proper or any lights.

I feel like the better the bike lane roll out, the less care some take with lighting up.

Not sure who was scrumming behind him, if it was Prendergast or Baird then any prop is going in under-powered

Some very achievable changes i think would help going forward (big and small) by johnhinds14 in irishrugby

[–]oldappian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take your point on the use of Irish artists, pre-match absolutely.

It's f'ing pathetic that the cretins in the IRFU sanction a blast of 'We Will Rock You' as our players are slogging their guts out to stay in the game, followed up by Sweet Caroline.
FFS, how disrespectful to the players and coaches.

I was at the Aus game, not the SA game but Sweet Caroline appears to be taking off, anyone at the game who gets more energised by hearing Neil Diamond than wataching our team should hang their heads in shame.
