    Despite somehow being second favourites for promotion, I know the feeling a bit.

    Yeah. Last season was fairly dire for us, we'll need to play a lot better to have a chance of promotion.

    Going by Foot.ie, the Limerick section seems to be missing at the moment but there's deals agreed with new players but nothing finalised yet. Cant see any of the players from last season who haven't signed back up or confirmed as released signing back imo.

    Saw that, was wondering where it went.

    Heard from a friend of a friend that they were on about Joe Crowe again and were looking for a left back from Norwich.

    didn't realize the Beatles had so many good songs. A medley of their songs just came on RTE gold just there

    my fav era of music is 80s and 90s but there are some classics before and after that

    I bet they have songs you didn't even know were their's originally. That's what happened me when I first listen to them.
    Their music is timeless

    And modern day production owes a lot of debt to The Beatles.

    yeah the same with a lot of other artists too

    I was amazed that Fleetwood Mac and Aerosmith wrote so many Hits that I thought were from other bands.

    Bruce Springsteen and Neil Diamond sepretly wrote songs that other artists made hits

    music is a funny thing


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_




    Definitely prefer it to Walk On Water.

    Universal Studios in an awkward spot now too I guess :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Kankan14


    Disney acquire 39% of sky with this too.

    Also they now own Hulu. I expect Hulu to become a real competitor to Netflix in the near future.

    Delete the last 20 (too far??) seasons and don't make new ones please


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭Virtanen


    Presumably this means that the Fantastic Four and X-Men are back in the hands of Disney/Marvel as well?

    This seems very relevant right now...

    Calling it now, Michael Van Gerwen will win the PDC World Darts Championship. It'll be sad to see Taylor call it a day, but without him and a few others, darts as a sports would be totally different.

    Not so hard to pick a winner for me.

    If Van Gerwen plays at 90% of his best he wins.

    Anderson 2nd best

    The rest a mile back!
