Can anyone recommend me a decent pub in Manchester? Not a good rugby pub just a place that has a nice selection of beer and isnt a messy student bar.

Yeah_Right

It's nice, but if you like that you should try Bison Bar. The pulled pork there is better. The sides are nicer in Pitt Bros tho.

When you see a boxer like that it can mean dehydration & a struggle to make his fighting weight, could be weak going into the bout. Interesting to see how it pans out

He hammered the guy and knocked him out in the second round.

No issues then!

Didn't know who he was fighting, but since his career is on an upward curve I'd guess not somebody not too taxing?

Yeah, he's hard but a bit long in the tooth now. Frampton may get a crack at the title now though

Drank Budweiser from a can for the first time in about a decade last week. Could use it to kill weeds. Awful altogether.

Most can beers are rotten.

John Joe Nevin had his leg broke in Mullingar this morning, lets hope it doesn't set his career back too much, he could be a top class professional boxer.

"Had his leg broke" smacks of external influences being applied shall we say?

When people give out about Rugby getting too much attention and praise in the media, I point that song...

TV3 is sinking fast, looking for voluntary redundancies, others leaving for the new UTV station.....and they are about to announce their deal for the 2015 rugby wc!

Buer

Haven't heard Whipping Boy in a long time. Some great stuff and really under the radar at this stage. Heard Nowhere by Therapy? on the radio the other day. Had not heard that in years.

Odd to see Joe Wall on television in Moone Boy. Saw The Walls/Stunning at Slane about a decade ago and their songs were a huge hit.

There was an article in yesterdays Times about Toulouse and Trevor Brennan. He says his son would like to play for France. I suppose its fair enough, they've lived most of their lives there. Don't know what they are feeding those kids though. He's only 14 years old but 6ft 4 and 19 stone!

I went with school when I was about 10.

Was all about the cheese, tulips and clogs back then!

Yes. The tulips are lovely.

If you happen to partake in any recreational activities, make sure you're with someone you can trust and listen to what those selling you say in terms of how much to take and when.

That's the difference between having to be locked in your hotel room and sharp things hidden away from you and being spaced and having a rather pleasant conversation with your shoes for several hours.

In terms of sight seeing, great city, really nice. Anne Frank's house is pretty dull and can be missed. You'll queue for 30 minutes and walk through it in 5.

Lets just say I'm well versed after an unfortunate baked goods related incident at Electric Picnic a few years back!

Weather should be decent enough I'd imagine?

.ak

Amsterdam is one of the places I would absolutely love to go to.

Mostly for the shoe talking, but I'm sure it's a cool place anyway. Renting bikes and cycling around the place would be cool if the weather is good.

Buer

Weather is decent but certainly not guaranteed. We went in June and it was great. It should be mild enough to stroll around in a t-shirt during the day but don't be surprised if it rains or is cool enough. It's not that much further south than Dublin.

Buy yourself a pair of clogs. You can get them engraved and everything! I have a pair in the house. :pac:
