Didn’t Ireland become a republic in 1948 (act passed in 1948, becoming law at Easter 1949)? The present Irish constitution was passed by referendum in 36 becoming law in 1937. The countries name changed from The Irish Free State to Eire. While we got a President (Douglas Hyde) and were probably...

Us skinny people suffer due to fatties also… It may not be as bad as second hand smoke but we suffer too… About 10 years ago I flew from London to San Francisco. Sitting at the departure gate waiting on the flight to be announced I noticed the ground trembling and wondered what was happening...

just finished reading Geoff Hursts autobiography and Jimmy and Alf Ramsey are mentioned a lot. thebook is pretty pedestrian but I like reading books from footballers of that generation. or listening to Johnny Giles on Off The Ball talking about football in the 60s/70s. based on the synopsis...

The Chief Medical Officer has come out and said the 2 metre rules stays in place. Meanwhile in the real world.. Kids are all playing with each other in the street but can’t go to school or play with their sports clubs. Adult teams are training on open green areas as they can’t train on their...

Again, I am in the same position.. they are saying that they will give cash if the voucher isn’t used, but they have changed things so many times who is to say they won’t change again in a months time? Also, It appears that the Irish Government along with 11 other governments are lobbying the...
