Ireland and its diaspora is just a teeny tiny village.
Was talking to a guy on a dating app and we got talking about how both our grandparents are from Ireland!
Turns out they are both from Galway.
Turns out they both left Galway at the same time in the 50’s and moved to Clapham.
Turns out he’s actually my third cousin…

Ray Romano is there so you’re already annoyed
Want to see the worst bad beat in poker history? Imagine sitting at the World Series of Poker main event, Ray Romano is there so you're already annoyed. You're battling with Abraham from The Walking Dead, wearing a wife beater. You go all in with quad aces and this happens. I would never play poker again. I almost played the main event last year and was considering next years, this would ruin me. This will never ever happen on film again in our lifetimes. The odds are 1 in 2.7 BILLION.

Was in a training with a group made up of people under 21 today, one other person aged 26 and me aged 36.
The icebreaker was “who is your favourite band”
I said “I like blink-182s new album” and the way they all looked at me I think I basically said “I like dad rock”.

Merry Ketmas to all who celebrate.
Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. xitter.cf/b3ta/status/9920006879…

The Rhys Ruddock SuperFriends were unlucky not to steal a win against the Sharks last year, only lost both games by 7 or less, and walked away with a couple of points for their troubles.
Looking forward to seeing how they go this time.

Here’s an idea - how about the premiership takes a look at itself and stops lurching from financial crisis to financial crisis or how about the WRU blazers stop spending their money on jolliers and spend it on rugby instead

All the hallmarks of the chat coming from rugby journalists in England around 2013/14. Setting the stage for premiership rugby to throw their toys out of the pram again.
'It is surely not right that any side should have four home games, including the final, when contesting Europe’s top club tournament.'

You’d get bored of the money chat all the same.
English league stumbles from financial crisis to financial crisis, welsh blazers spend all their money on jolliers, other provinces are badly managed etc. etc.

Lotta Bod truthers in the comments but it’s Sexton by far and his longevity is only giving him more distance.

“These new club competitions will create top quality sporting drama for our supporters and commercial partners across Europe” - Mark McCafferty, April 2014.
How’s that worked out then?
A one-week turnaround time between European fixtures really diminishes the tournament's standing. The Champions Cup is built on away fans' contributions, but it's hard to see many Leicester fans travelling for an 8pm k-o on Good Friday when it hasn't even been confirmed

The weather has levelled this game for Ulster but can’t help but feel we’ll pull away in the second half now. #LEIvULS

I give it another week before the plaudits start making me worry about the World Cup, but right now I will just enjoy it. A cracking read here from Harry:
