Babbling 'brook

Has anyone done this yet? I threw my name down on the waiting list, and got an email today saying I could sign up early.

That Horgan chap at 12 did ok. Wonder what happened to him?

I think so too.

No idea why there is a waiting list though. Anyone?

To give you some idea of how unhinged Johnson is. This is an actual slide he presented.

Ryanair....again!

Despite having a life-long passion and involvement with numbers, I can't understand how Prof Nolan can confirm that the 'R- ratio' for infection in Ireland is below 1 - given the minimal level and biased nature of tests conducted to date in Ireland. If the vast majority of testing has been conducte...

Can anyone explain why other nations are going down the same testing and tracing route that has been so successful in s korea and Germany ? why are we not all just following that lead? I presume you mean why is everyone not following the Korean and German example? In Ireland its because we appear t...

Isn't Rob Kearney also out of contract? Might he also head west?

I was at a gig on the 4th of March and have since found out most of the band members of the 3 bands playing and road crew have Covid. I just had to buy a T-shirt from road crew. Lady RP had a high fever. I'd aches and pains som...

I take no lessons from someone that watches the Late Late Show.

Thanks for the advice lads. As I am in Belfast I think I would get the UK prime offering (is this different to the Irish one?). I really wanted to watch American Gods and Preacher (books from my youth) and also some of the recommendations on here. I try and avoid buying anything from Amazon apart fr...

Sort of related to the thread title, but what is the thinking here on Amazon prime membership? Worth it or not?

The players can want what they like but they won't necessarily get it. Saracens are being relegated to the Championship and will now receive only half of the central funding they thought they would get. They also have to be compliant with the salary cap for next year in order to be promoted. The cu...

Surely the SA tour will be cancelled? Any word on this?
