Amen to that. I used to live in the middle of nowhere, trees all around us. To this day, when I hear a wood pigeon's call I get that feeling of contentment.

I grew up beside a forest and spent a lot of time in there as a kid. You just can't beat that environment.

Same here. What would be the best Forest trails in Ireland?

There are some savage forest trails here in Munster, Glengarra in Tipp, Glenbower in Killeagh, Gougane Barra, Glengarrif. Now the county is open I'm visiting one each weekend. The Coillte site is not bad to help select a forest, also the AllTrails app is good too. Got it for $5 during Cyber Monday.

Twas Glengarra I was in yesterday evening. Absolutely smashing spot. Going to try Gougane Barra one of the days soon, I've never been but heard it was class

Gougane Barra is a deadly spot.

Ah sound, might give it a miss so. I'm trying to avoid risk as much as possible these days.

That alltrails app looks the biz.

I use Alltrails a bit meself, it's decent.  That, Strava, and Google maps combined, sounds like overkill but for some trails the Alltrails app won't load up the map exactly but it will show on Strava, oddly.  I often mark the places I want to visit on maps and use the others as needed when I hit the area.

And they're saying this is a bad thing...?

QuoteSweets containing significant levels of cannabis components are being sold online and have resulted in at least one person being admitted to hospital after suffering serious side effects.

I ate a bag of these after a 3 week tolerance break. Thoroughly disappointed so I was, barely got anything off of them. I felt a bit relaxed, like I'd smoked some CBD bud, but I definitely was not high - pure waste of money.

My mate split a bag with his missus and they got fuck all off a them too. Another mate of mine thought they were decent, so maybe the dosages are a bit wonky, or maybe (most likely) that teenager in the article just freaked out and went to hospital.

QuoteDr Byrne said the FSAI is warning consumers about the dangers of eating sweets with cannabis products and said people should only ever buy food from reputable sources and check the food labels.

Warning consumers about the dangers of eating a reputable product that sells thousands in the U.S and Canada? Just fucking legalise it already! It won't be simple, but it most definitely will be pleasurable.

Larry Graham from Sly & The Family Stone recounting, in self-accompanied funky beat poetry style, how he supposedly invented the slap bass style. You watch a guy with swagger and strut like this and you gotta say to yourself, "Hmm, I'm really not squeezing nearly enough out of life!"
