    Just watched a great U21 Munster Hurling Final,ended 4:20 to 1:27 AET to Limerick. doubt the senior hurling semi's will be as competitive.
    Just seen that Tevez has been given more time off by City on SSN you couldn't make that up,nice to see they have that beautiful presenter on tonite she looks a lot like Trish Stratus.

    U21 is always great, slightly looser hurling than senior, games are more open and high scoring and teams are always capable of losing a lead.

    A buckfast fuelled-PW podcast while playing a hurling match, during a Boards PW meet-up, while laughing at our neighbours North of the Corrib.

    No don't do that! I get a great laugh out of the constantly changing thread titles!

    Makes sense also - it suits the PW for - having frequently changing titles!! WAY---OAH!! :p

    When Not if you become president make Cyril Farrell the Taoiseach. The man's analogies alone could heal the country in this time of need.

    The Diabhal Dome proves I should have at least been in the top 5 for the Draft. Some of my best puns went unnoticed.

    Ive heard it is very good, albeit extremely slow moving. Meant to be a heavy jazz influence to the show as well, so if you like the jazz you will like this.

    It is on my to do list as well.

    I've watched both seasons and I really enjoy it. I wasn't a huge jazz fan before it but it really got me into it and they're are some great tunes throughout it.

    It's an excellent look at life post Katrina and it does have a slow moving pace, but the performances throughout are excellent. It's really hard to compare it to the Wire as I find it a different kind of show. It does have a very real feeling to it though, they even had a former corrupt mayor play himself in season 2 which was an excellent touch.

    I'd definitely give it a shot if I was you anyway.

    I didn't enjoy Treme. It has all the production values of a David Simon show, but it wasn't for me. Aside from disliking jazz, it just felt too preachy. Every episode felt didactic. Less of a show and more of a political broadcast. Sure his other shows and books are very political, but this seemed a bit too far.

    But if you like jazz, you might like it.

    Loved it was out of mind on energy drinks working in the small hours working on my Master dissertation but loved all the same.

    It isnt the Wire. A lot slower paced and no magical moment where the genius of the show reveals itself (yet at least).

    Kind of the point tho. It is a city ruined political indecisions.

    Like I said, a show can be political without being preachy. The Wire was extremely political but they weaved that into an amazing story. Treme is basically a bítch fest for 60 minutes.

    Theatre, books and movies have tackled politics for a long, long time and I've no problem with that. If I want to go political, I'll catch The Crucible on stage or re-watch The Wire. Treme just bores the hole off of me.

    Anyone out there want to help me with my 411 column?

    I need three banners, one saying "The 411 Wrestling Hot or Not with Seán Reid", a "Hot" banner and a "Not" banner. My photoshop skills are not helping me at all and I wanna make it look as good as possible. Nothing big in size, 608x250 would be perfect. Anyone interested? :)
