Quote from: Ollkiller on February 22, 2023, 10:36:49 AMA lad I used to know was adamant The Hobbit trilogy was better than the LOTR trilogy. Lunacy.

I've yet to hear anyone share that opinion, thankfully.

People like that convince themselves that St. Anger is a decent record  ;D

Was the ball in there somewhere?? Mental!

Well, for starters there is a clear under-representation of people of colour.  ;)

Shirkers!

To quote Peep Show, it'd be great if a car just ploughed into the lot of them, twisted broken bones.

Quote from: stearl on February 22, 2023, 05:00:54 PMI believe it's this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherstone_Ball_Game



"The game itself has few rules, two being that play is restricted to Long Street and participants are not allowed to kill anyone."

I don't know where to start with that. Some traditions just need to die.

Well it's probably better than them beating the wife and kids, and I happen to think that the not-killing-each other rule is an empathetic gesture!

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on February 25, 2023, 04:20:58 PMHa, truly great news:

Very good!

In other potentially offensive news, I see that the most popular boys name for 2022 in Galway city was (drum roll)....

Muhammad.

I'd say the CSO were wincing at publishing that lovely bit of fodder for the far right.

Everywhere else is going to be riddled with Jacks for the future, so at least it's a bit of variety anyway. It's also worth considering how common that name is among the Islam boys vs how common anything is for the Christians.

Still, there'll be lads crying into their tricolours tonight over this
