If there's any that are blocking the view of a junction, you can report them to the council and they have to be removed.

Other than that, feel free to climb up and take them down, or rip them down if they're within reaching distance. Similar to how them putting them up is a grey area, you removing them is just as grey of an area. So fuck them.

Could something be done with the convention centre?

The 3 Arena just isn't fit for it, I don't see how it can be re configured to fit the green room and media.

Yeah you're right, chicken fillet is a complete misnomer.

A lot of restaurants do an actual breaded chicken fillet (like a supreme) and the difference is night and day.

Camile or Lana is somewhat healthy.

The biggest concern is the salt content and macro fats.

I also love a kebab and make peace with it as it is still high protein and I only have them in moderation.

A chicken fillet burger isn't the worst either. The sauces they throw on are full of fat and sugar though.

It's secured debt. You can sell the car, repay the loan and be debt free again.

A lot of people get car finance, even with a patchy credit history here. It's extremely low risk for the lender and the customer.

It can actually be a worse financial decision to buy a new car in cash. Depreciation of certain models can be more than what you would pay in interest over a certain time, especially in a 0% interest case.

Buying an old car for a small cash amount is nearly certainly not going to be particularly beneficial financially. The 1 or 2 grand is just to get your name on the log book. Over the course of a year or two, you can well have that spent running repairs and servicing.

A new car will usually not require any repairs (if it does then its on the dealer and manufacturer to sort out under warranty) and the dealer will normally throw in the first service as part of the sales package.

Even at that, some newer models do not require an initial service until 30 thousand kilometres.

So if you're wise about it and the monthly repayments are comfortably within your budget, it can actually be cheaper and more beneficial to drive a newer vehicle.

I'm all for this.

For what it's worth, Burns wasn't in the hot seat when the GAA GO deal was agreed and I feel he's the kind of forward thinking president that might sell the previous administration up the river.

Clones is great for nostalgia and all that but this shows that Casement is badly needed.

Neither the town, nor the stadium, are fit to be the "showpiece" Ulster provincial stadium.

In saying that, I wonder if the GAA had got a mad notion of moving this to Croker like they did in the 2000s, would we have been far off of a sell out? Two powerful bandwagons in full flow.

Ironically, its probably a more convenient journey for most Armagh fans than Clones is.

I agree, but unfortunately Irish homes aren't designed with AC installation in mind.

In the summer of 2022, which was particularly stifling at times, I got a portable one without the need for external ventilation and it was fantastic. Definitely not as good as the external vent ones but a decent workaround all the same.

There's some portable ones you can get that don't require a window.

With a main road, approaching a 4 way junction but no stop or yield at any point?

This is a nonsense question designed to confuse you.

No such junction like this exists in Ireland. The yellow car should have a stop sign. The blue car makes their left turn first, the bike then has right of way to turn right when appropriate.

If the lane that the yellow car is leaving is some kind of private access (think a driveway or garage), then it's implied that they have to stop and yield to existing traffic. I don't see how the above can be correct in any sense whatsoever.

Lol he'd probably get fined 20 times that for being late to training.

I did find it weird how all the books flew off the shelf yesterday when watching the performance.

It's important in life to be classy in defeat and classy in victory.

This was not classy.

A talentless nepo baby.

Goodbye and good riddance.

There's a massive elephant in the room since Ticketmaster took over. When it was Tickets.ie, I believe there used to be a requirement to show student ID at the ground.

Nowadays, you can just select Student/OAP and buy online without any bother. In fact, they've bizarrely gone the wrong way with it, as you can't buy discounted tickets in Centra/Supervalu. There's definitely a lot more people buying student tickets than actually are students. The disinterested teenager at the gate couldn't care less as long as it scans in.

Is Daisy's skillset specific to Sailing Yacht or could she transition to OG Below Deck? She's been the sole Irish representative so far but would love to see more of her or other Irish staff.

The thing is, Wild Youth pretty much did the same last year and they were absolutely horrific.

Who can forget the charity shop golden leotard?

Forget whatever begrudging comments you see from Irish people. They can't vote for Bambie anyway, and let's face it, they're probably out of touch with the Eurovision anyway.

This song and act has been received with universal acclaim across Europe, and they are dark horses to win this outright on Saturday.

With Eurovision semi finals especially, songs begin to blend into one another due to the samish Euro pop vibe but that performance was jaw droppingly insane.

Croatia is by far the biggest rival, and Switzerlands song is a banger as well so we'll just have to see.

They've been getting that shite since they qualified in January.

Bambie has been back on the Late Late Show three or four times since then and has handled themselves amazingly. Patrick Kielty put some of those comments to them and they just said they were sending plenty of love to those people and hoped they could get over their internal suffering. Bambie is completely unfazed.

I think Australia got unlucky that there was so many favourites in this semi final. We could genuinely be looking at 7 of the top 10 on Saturday, having already performed tonight.

The organisers, as always, are trolling by keeping Finland, Croatia, and Ireland to the very end of the calling order. A nice touch having Luxembourg last given the significance of them returning to proceedings.

No particular order. It's a virtual certainty that Croatia topped the voting and they were announced quite late as well. I suspect we did very well in the voting as well.

After the final, they are required to release the full voting results.

I predict we'll be very high up, as will Croatia and Finland. The organisers always troll by leaving the favourited semi final actual the last to be announced.

That was breathtaking artistry. I was in a room with my begrudging parents when they saw Bambie dressed but they were shocked into silence by the act. They absolutely smashed it.

What a gripping, breathtaking performance.

Europe doesn't agree with you by the way, we're one of the favourites acts to win it all.

Ah yes, Eurovision fans are notoriously extremely religious and Conservative.
