A friend worked the black taxi tours for a while, said they just made **** up to tell the tourists lol.

I was also under the impression that Harp had been discontinued, then again I still see Skol on the shelves so I too might be in a timewarp

Vader - Guinness factory tour probably isn't worth the money. I did think the Croke Park tour was alright

I've always found SouthEastern pretty decent. They have been a bit less punctual this year but I can't really grumble, apart from that first class should be declassified way more often than it is.

LolHoopie. I've never seen that gif before

It was Skol in Tesco, not Hoffmeister.

Do they still do Watney's Party Sevens?

You're an easier man to please than me then

Anyone listen to five live?

Sutton is brilliant. Rips the piss and just says it how it is

He's bloody awful.

We're 3 guys in our late twenties

Arriving in Dublin on thursday, then taking the train to Belfast sometime on saturday and fly home from Belfast on monday. I'm guessing we're probably just going to be drinking in Dublin and not have time to do anything special there.

Will definitely look into the GoT tour and the black cabs in Belfast though, thanks for the tips.

Detailed train TR incoming afterwards ofc

With most stuff and he's just very argumentative but he speaks his mind and gets a reaction. Chapman is brilliant and just takes the piss out of him all the time about Celtic

Could do worse than the Stag's Head for a pint

Chris Sutton is the nut low. Zero charisma, a monotonous tone to his voice and he's picked up that annoying habit from Danny Mills of a weird sigh before he says anything.

Rank pundits could be a IB exercise.

Sutton is at least interesting in that he expresses idiosyncratic opinions and not just another repeat o cliche bot.

Problem is that the level is so low that I can only really rank from the bottom.

Last: Phil Neville total predictable cliche bot man should go on the post moron with horrible accent tone and delivery. Literally feel my chi ebbing away everytime I hear his droning spew.

Last+1: Jamie Redknapp. Total waste of atoms. Swarmy self satisfied prick who makes every facet of what ever footballing issue he is discussing seem eye wateringly mundane and trivial, listening to his analysis brings on a creeping existential crises and I am sure the recent massive uptick in middle aged men committing suicide is due to his increased exposure as a pundit on BT sport.

Last+2: Garth Crooks. **** him, wrong on everything, has a terrible squeaky voice that rises in tone the more incorrect he becomes. He is the oven chip of presenters, fake, tasteless,bland and just ****.

Last + most of the rest.

Gary Neville: Not that great but not as **** as the rest.

I love Roy Keane as a pundit.
Not for what he says, but for what I imagine he's thinking about those sat next to him.

City coming to LA Nashville and one other destination during the summer. Yaaaas. International champions cup goat

^ Costa Rica line was good

How does this kid not get his ass kicked in school tomorrow? Or do schoolyard beatings not happen anymore?

beating up the mentally handicapped is frowned upon at even the toughest schools

.

Seems a worthwhile exercise. I'll present some of the positives.

I don't mind Sutton. I don't think he offers any great insight, but he will call out other pundits bs which is entertaining if nothing else. Speaking of which....

Joey Barton. I mean, I really want to hate him as a pundit for obvious reasons, but often his arguments are well-considered and presented in an articulate fashion. Good example of this here, where he dismantles.....

....Danny Mills. The nut, nut low of football punditry. Offers nothing, but seems to think he speaks with complete authority. Wanker.

Honorable mentions:

Charlie Adam. Promising start as a pundit. Doesn't offer much analysis, but speaks well about life as a current footballer and the inner workings of a club.

Steve Claridge. As limited a pundit as he was as a player, but admire that he managed to get a regular gig on the BBC through hard graft rather than trading off a dozen England caps (See: Mills, D).

That is as accurate as it can get.

Ive been unable to watch past the ten second mark for years when it comes to Garth Crooks.

He is without doubt the worst pundit that will ever find its way on to the television.

RIP Ronnie Moran. Legend.

w/r/t to your edit that you can't afford it either, I went Cologne - Berlin return trip with IC & ICE for 43€ this extended weekend. Sparpreis ftw. Just need to plan early and I much prefer it over cars, busses and planes anyway.

RIP
