    Can’t be careful enough, local guy injected himself by accident and was in a bad way for awhile

    Nice win there for Scotland in the rugby

    Finn Russell deciding to go for a drop goal whilst ahead with a minute to go, must be up there as the biggest brainfart of all time.

    Was he trying to stop England from getting a losing bonus point?

    Sore I’d say. Definitely can’t be too careful.

    It would have stopped England getting a bonus point but i doubt that's what he was thinking. A drop goal would have put Scotland 8 points up and won the game for them even if England managed to get a converted try in the last minute.
    I wouldn't consider it the biggest brainfart ever since it didn't affect the result in the end.
    It's a good win for them but i think the result had more to do with how rubbish England were.

    The forwards having the ball with 3 mins to go, you close out the game. The coach will have him for dinner on Monday in the review.

    True but they still won anyway. If England had gone down the field and scored a converted try to win the game i'd agree with you.

    I can't imagine how wrecked Rugby players must be after 80 minutes of games like that. It's going to be some mess when the concussion/brain injury issue blows up on them in years to come.

    I know I'm probably a bit late to the party on this but i only caught up with the Garda dance thingy, and maybe it's Covid or something, but it made me a little misty eyed and caused the chest swell.
    Fair play to them.

    I watched the beginning and thought cringe, but was very impressed with it. Fair play to them.

    I found myself taking screen shots and sending to a friend to see where they were. Some amazing spots I never knew existed.

    The Irish comedians (dunno who they are) on tikTok have a very funny video made,

    You see it wasn't that it was any good per se, it was more the case that things must be tough that something as lame as that causes such a (wry?) feelgood reaction. I'm not sure if it is sadness, wistfullness, loneliness or what, but a lot of us might actually be a bit lower than we realise.
    You'd miss the bit of craic.

    There was an actor on the Tommy tiernan show last night. If you weren't already depressed before you watched him you'd be doubly depressed after. Had to turn it off

    Morning lads
    Hope ye are all keeping well. In from a ramble with me dog. Glad to see my 90 year old neighbour going for his own daily stroll up his driveway. Hadn’t seen him out in weeks and we were exchanging news. Told him about a local farmer who had recently won a competition, to which he replied “a great day for the parish”. Came away hiding a grin because the prize winner actually lives in a different parish (and there would be no love lost between the two on the GAA field). I’m not a big rugby fan but am looking forward to the match today. Great to see the Scots winning last night. Have a good one

    Got a new sky Q thing last week.
    Against my better judgement but had no replacement in place re saorview so said another year wouldnt be the death of me.

    Bloody thing keeps freezing. Hours on the phone. I guarantee it will freeze for the rugby.

    Days like today, you wish a pub was open.

    Only positive- it cemented my opinion we don’t need it anymore.

    Was reading a piece in the Sunday Times about organic farming. They quoted Pippa Hackett "Our farm became more profitable, Your input costs go down because you're not using synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, and you actually use less PETROL in your tractor".
    What kind of tractor are they using I wonder?
    Is she misquoted?
    Does she know that little about what tractors are running on?
    Anyone have an opinion on how her as a minister?
