    Watching Vincent Browne now - the abortion debate seems to be a debate amongst extremes.

    Turned it on to see 2 priests and Ivana Bacik... did a swift 180.

    The brunette bird off Tallafornia popped up (in more ways than one, boom!) as one of the models walking out with the Darts players there over Christmas on Sky. Making a few quid for herself in fairness tho you do feel like taking a cold shower after listening to any of them speak.

    She was doing the darts walk ons long before tallafornia believe it or not. That's how she came into that show saying she was a "model"

    lol - I stuck it out. Talk about the two extremes of the debate.
    That is heavy stuff for the golf forum - maybe over to AH.

    Just about to sit down and listen to Tyler Hamilton (In Depth) talk about a cheat by a cheat.

    To think , i read all the bloody Armstrong books. What a waste of my time.

    Have the book too, perhaps this interview will ruin the book :mad:
    Fair play Bensinger getting this so early and Setanta for once showing it early. Book selling I guess.

    I'm talking more the content than the accent! Some of those lads I would doubt can spell their own names.

    Sure I can't spell "me"self - Fixed / Fixde. ;)

    No, TV3 go for the lowest form of entertainment , the 3 Fs, Fashion / ****ing / Football. I'd put XFactor down as the root of all evil.

    Bagels... Bagels are the root of all evil, they destroyed this country!
    We were going around fine with our loaves of bread until the bagel arrived and sparked the celtic tiger into action, sending us of a sesame seed topped frenzy for a decade.
    We all got caught up... mothers feeding their kids bagels with cream cheese and what not.
    Paying a premium for something with half of it missing.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my bagels, I just hate what they did to this country.

    ( ;) Not drinking, just suffering from lack of sleep )

    Did anyone here ever try plum poitin?
    I was given a bottle for Christmas(I assume its shop bought) and had a half one lastnight.
    It must be one of the nicest spirits I've ever had. I have some Martel xo at home and tbh you could hardly tell them apart. It has the same deep colour to it and zero bite. Lovely stuff.

    Ebay is fantastic for little bits a pieces like that.

    The wing mirror fell off the passenger side of my car over the Christmas (just the glass mirror part). I was quoted €60-€80 in a garage to get it fixed "depending on the labour costs". Checked ebay and got a new mirror delivered from Bulgaria a week later for €12 including postage. The back of the glass is adhesive so it sticks straight into the mirror casing so I am not quite sure why they needed to estimate the labour times as it took all of 30 seconds!

    Just reading this morning that Steve Collins is going to come out of retirement to fight Roy Jones Jr & will, according to him, be fighting fit in 10-12 weeks.

    That hypnotist must have gotten hold of him again

    I'm not too shocked about the horse meat in the Tesco burgers.
    Just last week I saw a camel toe in a pair of penny's leggings.

    Hitman doesn't know how to take a safety off his gun.
    Makes a horlicks of his assignation attempt.
    Somehow he is not in police custody tonight and "escaped"
    The victim has retired from public life.


    And these Bulgarian clowns want to join the euro!!!!!

    They'll fit right in.

    Might be a very old one, but its a good one. Was only linked to me the other day.

    Jason McAteer talking about standing beside Roy Keane at the start of the Norway -Ireland World Cup game in 1994.
    Hilarious stuff!

    Its about 20 secs before McAteer starts talking.



    PASS IT ON! :D

    Have heard that before Ricky, always raises a smile. I will forever love Jason McAteer just for the goal against Holland in Landsdowne Road. Probably my favourite ever sporting moment - the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up just typing about it.

    Speaking of former footballers, was anyone listening to 5live yesterday evening? Stan Collymore was hosting the show and they were discussing if Frank Lampard deserves to be offered a new contract and one caller was saying of course he did and he was amazed he hadn't been offered one and then came out with, "Just look at his penalty from earlier today. He hit that like you used to hit Ulrika". Cue a few seconds of akward silence before moving on to the next caller.
