I was amazed to learn today that there's another Cunny Kenningham playing international football.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.
Just going to leave this here:

Ever since moving to Carlow, I've been keen to take in a match in Buckley Park in the Womens League of Ireland. Every single time I've had a chance to go to a game, it's been called off.
Today, with the weather being rather good the last few days, I'd hoped to take in their game against Wexford Youths.
The damn game has just been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

A guy called Noel Fitzpatrick, a veterinarian, being interviewed on the crufts. Trying to adopt a faux-British neutral accent, as Irish people in the public eye generally do when they move to Britain, and ending up sounding like a Newfoundlander.
We really are an insecure little nation of people. And I'm not talking people criticizing others for masking their accents and changing their identities.
Veterinarian like. What possible excuse would he have for hamming up his accent and Woganing it up? An actor I would get, at least.
People do that in Ireland as well. I know two brothers brought up exactly the same. One speaks with a plum in his mouth and the other has a Cavan accent.
Think you're a bit hard on Terry. He would have had a neutral accent and not the Frank Kelly post stage accent.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
On a personal note, my father has an Irish accent. His brother has a posh English accent, albeit having spent most of his life in Britain. But he's had it a long time!
English and Scottish people don't seem to lose their accents half as quickly as we do.
I thought he was raised in England though?
May be wrong about that.
Keeping up appearances in an Aldi store in Letterkenny today.

Another 3 by the time I read that, Bonnie! 10k - it's enough for a book.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Where's Crosby?
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Why am I seeing an add to vote for a Dinneen for the Seanad? I much prefer the old ads of the Thai ladies..........bring them back please.....
Any possibility the large congregation of people due in Dublin for the well-publicised 1916 celebrations could be a target for a terrorist attack?
That's no way to talk about the Luas drivers' strike!

I'm not making a defence for the tobacco industry, but I wonder how many people have developed diabetes after giving up smoking; simply replacing one habit, a coping mechanism as such, with another.
While you're thinking about that, think about this.
It bothers me how women feel it necessary to walk around in skin tight yoga pants/skin tight leggings etc that show every crevice of their buttocks, sometimes in the most inappropriate of situations.
And TOWK's last thought of the day.
The media's misreporting anti-Trump propaganda is galling considering the amount of unused ammunition that could be used against Hillary, who is guilty of far more egregious political crimes.

BBC story on China's plan to become a world power in football has a picture of the president Xi Jinping kicking a football, except in the picture they used it's actually an O'Neill's All Ireland GAA ball, from his visit to Ireland 2 years ago.

Anyone else think Croke Park is a big, albeit ugly, stadium?
While you're thinking about that, think about this.
Why do all women below the age of 25 have their mobile phones in their arse pockets now? When did this become a thing? Is it to draw attention to that area? Does it not increase the chances of phone muggings?
While you're digesting that thought, contemplate this.
Anyone else think Ireland's towns and cities leave a lot to desire architecturally?
