    When you call somebody on a landline and get their answering machine for a spilt second before hanging up in disgust, do you get charged for that?

    So you didn't like Van? Its supposed to be one of the big culinary hotspots in Canada so that is surprising to me...

    Yes, I think so. But not very much.

    Sure:
    *Double spacing gets you there way quicker.
    *Swearing: it's big and funny.
    *Footnotes should always lead to other footnotes to a depth of no less than 3 deep.

    It's okay. But it it is incredibly over priced and oversold. Everyone is so gushing that it's hard to live up to its reputation. I thought it was meh.

    I refuse to read anything unless it has footnotes that lead me around the pages like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.

    The absence of George Best and Joey Dunlop from the Top 10 Irish Sport Persons board on that Second Captains show on RTE is a disgrace.

    Is it really? George was a talent but his flawed nature surely lends him some romantic notions. I wouldn't have him in the Top-10. I'd have Alex Higgins in before him.

    Dunlop's omission is no doubt due to the lack of love for motorbikes amongst those picking the panel. I'm guessing. Why not send a mail to RTE or Second Captains about it?

    George Best was more than just a talent. No other player from these islands has enchanted and beguiled fans of the game as much as he did. Some proof of which can be found in the reaction to his death. Leaving aside his global, or at least continental, standing in the game, and placing it solely in an Irish context, he remains the greatest talent produced on this island by a country mile. No one else is in, nor near, his class. Despite all of this he remains absent from this feature, something which you agree with. If Ronaldinho came from this island would you leave him out as well?

    I actually tweeted Ken Early about it and he said it was discussed in the previous series and that there was no good reason for it - merely that none of the panelists/guests had put him on it. I suspect therefore, that the real reason is that the 'ROI' centric panel do not regard Best as being truly Irish, which is both sad and revealing.
