Dont think the competitive cycling would be on the doctors list of recommendations for the knee.

Why not try darts?

Granted you will have to down loads of pints to get the sweats the next day but would be easier on the knee:D

I was told cycling would be good for it - and I do actually play darts

Hmm, Just that my knees aint in great shape (may have some conection to Raving till 8am for a decade) and can be fairly painful when pressing down hard on the pedals or going uphill.

As for the darts im fairly good at em meself, can finish on double 10 with my eyes closed at this stage:)

Left handed by any chance?

edit; The knee injuries are impact related. I've had my cruciate replaced and some cartilage removed but it should work fine mechanically. Cycling should be ok - it's the sudden side-to-side movement, change of direction and tackles etc. that are the problem.

Na, but i used to live there when I was in college - Grangemore. Still drink in The Donaghmede Inn from time to time though.

NY is my favourite city in the world - lived there for a few months and had an awesome time. Such a wicked vibe in the place. Was lucky enough to see Danny Tenaglia play a bunch of times in Vinyl. I left shortly after 9/11. I've been back since on holidays but I'd love to live there......such a shame the US holidays are totally sh1t - it would really put you off working there.

What's the training like for it? I used to cycle from Donaghmede to UCD so I don't think I'd be too phazed by it......but still curious.

I'm looking to take up some new sports after a second operation on my knee in 3 years means I'm probably going to have to give up football. I'm gonna give cricket a bash again and I've joined a snooker team but I'll need something that actually involves serious sweating to get the juices going again.

I think cycling can be good for injuries - it's definitely strenghtened up my knees/ankles - helped with the football for me (retired now though, waiting for the over 35s league to start playing again )

The training is grand - you'd be surprised how quickly you adapt to cycling, and if you're used to it from commuting then it'd be grand. I started Oct 09 - started out with 30km spins (from Dundrum up to Enniskerry and back) and 6 months later I was doing 130kms. Now I probably overdid it, but if you cycle in and out of work, and maybe one evening during the week get out for an hour, then get out for a long spin at the weekend, you'll be flying after a couple of months.

It is amazing how similar the content of what is contained in the article & what Joe higgins has been saying for the past 3 years is,

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

Not surprisingly, economic doctrines that helped create the crisis have not served the country well in dealing with its aftermath.
With those still in office entering into international lending agreements that benefit the Irish banks and their debt holders but not necessarily the Irish citizens, fundamental questions arise about how to move forward.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

Unfortunately, the question of which policies are right is being distorted by an effort to “save” the banks..

Note the "save", to highlight this is nothing more than a huge financial coup d'état to cover losses & earn more profit.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

We know policies of austerity will lead to lower output and lower tax revenues, and if there is any improvement in the deficit, it will be smaller than expected.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

In effect, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB) are asking ordinary Irish workers and citizens to bear the burden of mistakes that were made by international financial markets. But it is important to recognise that these mistakes are at least partly attributable to following deregulation and liberalisation policies that were advocated by the IMF and ECB and that these policies provided significant benefits to the financial sector..

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

In Ireland, as in much of the rest of the world, though, those who seemed to believe in markets, started to rewrite the rules in the midst of the crisis. They argued for the socialising of losses, while the gains had been privatised. Such a system of ersatz capitalism is doomed to failure, and is fundamentally corrupt and inequitable..

This is what i have been saying for over 2 years now, using a Socialist solution for a Capitalist problem.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

The IMF and ECB are lending money to ensure Irish taxpayers bail out Irish bank bondholders, but with little concern for economic growth and welfare..

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

But Ireland should realise this may be only the first step in the bloodletting..

Privatisation of all our essential services is next up.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

If the austerity programme continues, the economy will slow, defaults will increase and property values will decline even further..

The main point of the Socialist party on the doorsteps while campaigning for the election.

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

A country with a debt to GDP ratio of 125 per cent could easily have to pay 8 per cent interest rates. This would mean that 10 per cent of Ireland’s GDP would have to go forever to just service the debt..

Joseph stiglitz & Michael cragg - Irish times 09/04/2011 wrote:

Those representing the interests of the lenders (bondholders) have, of course, a different view. They want to extract as much out of the Irish people as they can..

This is the point of the entire game, extraction of as much money as possible out of Ireland.

Seems that it is only a certain amount of the Irish population that have convinced themselves that Default, sorry, debt restructuring, loan loss recognition, debt forgivness whatever you want to use to make it sound more pallatable is not the answer & we can somehow actually pay this debt & have any kind of decent standard of living for our people,

(and before jeff wades in with a load of waffle about how we dont have an identity to call ourselves 'a people', phrase it whatever way you like, the fact is it will affect everyone residing in the boundary of the republic of ireland which i will call our people.)

Was there for the first time in 2009, counting the days til I get to go back. It really is an amazing place. Got to do and see so much while I was there, so I'd really love to go back and see it at a much more leisurely pace.

I don't understand how people don't see/know this already. It's so obvious what's going on. Capitalism for the Poor & Socialism for the Rich.

Because Liza Minelli's face looks all spread apart like somebody sat on it for too long and it makes it very distracting to watch the original so they made the new one so that we wouldn't have to suffer that pain anymore.

The film has been made for a while now I think which would leads me to believe that the studio knew they had a stinker on their hands and were trying to figure out when to best unleash it. April's not really a month for unleashing your big movies…

Yep, i dont think it would have mattered when it was released, when you look at the poster you think,

'He's a wánker & arthur was a great film'

Looks like one of those POS movies that get released on January 1st, just so they can put "The funniest movie of the Year!" on the cover.

Very diverse lineup, looks good though. Many of you heading over? Think only 2 of us heading to Croatia, but we should meet plenty over there.

Untold will be sweet!
