Hmm I've done my usual and began doubting everything afetr reading a few online articles this morning. Facile Vega apparently went off too fast last time out but I've heard a few different people doubting that as a plausible excuse. I'm edging more towards an e/w bet now in the first. Tahmuras might be a contender.

Tahmuras will be a good guide to the relative strengths of the Mullins hurdlers v the top English novice hurdlers. Be ominous for the Brits, other than CH, for the rest of the week if Tahmuras doesn't go close.

SF has not been "part of running" the North, as you put it. Nobody in or from the North actually runs the North. Stormont has less powers than an average county council. And the place can be paralysed simply by one party walking out (as the DUP currently is doing, in a protest about checks on sausages etc affecting their cultural identity). All real decisions are taken by London.

Other countries, such as Germany, have lifetime (20+ years) tenancy, pegged to CPI, as a matter of course. In 2011/12, I was paying a king's ransom for an apt in Foxrock, with my wife and new first baby, when the place was NAMA-ed and handed over to NAMA. We had to leave inside a month, despite paying our rent on the nail every month and despite the place being left in show-room condition. For 2 months we lived in a variety of hotels with a newborn. White collar homeless. It was why I woke up one morning, said "**** this"" and moved back up North. The South is in the pocket of property developers, and there isn't a single FF/FG politicians with the spine to call it. points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 282 - 14/03/2023 13:57:28 2463893 Link 0 |

Connell's Good Land now being gambled on for Ballymore. He said both Marine and that one would win. Still confident enough about Impaire. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3225 - 14/03/2023 13:59:43 2463894 Link 1 |

What far left? There are a small handful of cranks with out-of-date haircuts and naïve ideas about Russia, but they don't amount to anything. The South should be much more concerned about its growing band of hard-right ultra-nationalist parties. They're in cahoots with the US and British far right, and they see Ireland as fertile ground for their particular brand of hate. . points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 282 - 14/03/2023 14:02:20 2463895 Link 0 |

LGFA needs disbanded and women's football brought into the GAA. If I saw a bald bloke marking my daughter, I'd deck him.

The far left and all of the parties in Leinster House apart from Aontú share exactly the same positions on all of the main "social" issues. Are you claiming that Aontú are hard right? The only party I know of here who has gotten large amounts of money and other assistance from the US is Sinn Féin, which was once of course an "ultra-nationalist" party before it took the soup.

Disappointing run.. Constitution Hill is an absolute force of nature. A pleasure to watch. streaker (Galway) - Posts: 504 - 14/03/2023 15:48:29 2463910 Link 0 |

Is there a sliding scale where political parties are gauged between hard right and hard left? I think it depends on where you are and how you view things. The KKK are fairly far right but some might't see them the same way. Tony Gregory was a socialist, a great man who did a lot of good when some influence landed in his lap. I usually vote for the candidate and not the party. Ian Paisley looked after all his constituents apparently . Some Irish farmers don't like the Greens. So if it's he/she/them, right wing/ left wing/midfield, if they're doing a good job and not provoking too many people I'll give them some preference.

Go on the Honeysuckle! Didn't back her this time but great way for one of the great horses to end their career. And no harm to take a bit of the limelight away from the new pretender :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3225 - 14/03/2023 16:28:58 2463920 Link 2 |

In fairness to him he doesn't try to be the cute Hoor. Clearly has confidence in his horses and isn't afraid to say it. Delighted for him, and particularly happy for young O'Sullivan. Good day for the Irish and punters in general. Now let's just hope for 3 more :-) streaker (Galway) - Posts: 504 - 14/03/2023 19:42:44 2463953 Link 0 |

It was great to see even if it scuppered my bet. I didn't think there was much left in her. I was anticipating a game effort, perhaps a place after giving the new pretender a fright. Fair play to Rachael Blackmore too.

The KKK are not a political party.

Where does it say they're calling the KKK a political party?
