Actually, heard a funny story from a mate and this thread is as good a place to post it as any as all the green gooners will understand the notion of Junior B Gaelic football.

Mate told me that he read an interview Niall Quinn did lately in a paper bout playing a bit of Junior B gaelic football for the local club when he retired and moved home to Kildare.

Quinny was playing full forward and during the course of the game they were awarded 3 penalties, all of which Quinny took and dispatched to the back of the net. On the final whistle he sought out the keeper to offer his sympathies on having to face 3 penalties - and the fact that they were all scored. As Quinny shook the blokes hand and offered his sympathy, yer man says to him "Fuck off ya long bollix. Ya wouldnt fucking take one against Spain!!"

Classicly irish way of bringning him back down to earth i thought.

PS - Apologies if it wasnt like that in the paper interview, but thats how it was told to me.

Ha! Quality.

Love the story about Bono returning to Dublin after U2 had just played something like 50 stadiums in a row all over the world at their absolute peak. Bono returned to Dublin and went in his local for a pint and the old barman said;

"You still doing the singing, then?"

Quality sit down and shut the fuck up.

Funny enough I have been in Gibraltar and have to say I liked it very much. While like a lot of "Micks" on here I am very proud to fly the flag for Ireland, I have to say I quite like visiting England from time to time.

A lot of nice people there too, had a short walking holiday in the Lake District in April and loved it. Outstanding place

A girl with a nice English accent is like poetry too.
