With Listowel starting today what in people's opinion is the best festival in Ireland? I have to think the Crimbo festival at Leopardstown is great, the racing is superb, you're in a big city so no trouble getting a place to stay, finding some fun and a nice meal at night. Punchestown was good don't think much of it now, never been to Galway racing is so so but i'd say for craic probably the best. I've never been to Listowel but it looks a decent one and it's the one i would like to go to.

Probably doesn't count as a "Festival" as such but the two day Leopardstown meeting in January is a class IMO - has everything you want at a meeting, top quality hurdles (novice and conditions), top handicaps (Ladbroke Hurdle) and a few decent Novice Chases and bumpers.

I'm over 2 hours away from Galway actually, btw Richters i've been to Galway lots of times but i've actually never been to the Galway festival. I never grew up in a house where racing was a big thing tbh nor betting was either and i left at 17. Instead i worked dang hard richters and i ended up having a few, i've lived in Europe, the UK and Dublin so i was not here for lot of time my friends have no interest in going and as i said loads of times Galway is about the craic, the racing is low grade handicap and it's makes no great appeal to me. I'm a serious ba-star richters so i'd have no place there either. I hope this answers the question which has worried you to bits as to why i've never been to the Galway festival, you can now sleep easy.

So now Rocketfingers is a multiple house owner,this Maths graduate has problems with distance and time as the only way Sligo would be two hours from Galway is if he were travelling by bicycle which is probably the way he normally travels.

Oops Wildmanfromborneo i believe this is game set and match for me or in my game of choice checkmate http://routes.aaireland.ie/#
And by the way i'm North Sligo, so out towards Bundoran so longer even than that. |
|
By:
You just walked yourself into it,that last post is proof conclusive you are not from Sligo.
Your language is another dead giveaway,your use of rhyming slang and Dublin rhyming slang at that,cream crackered and Mae West even though you misspelt the latter,you also managed to misspell the poet Yeats on three occasions,other words such as manor and bobbies tell me you are a Dub and the worst type of Dub one that is ashamed of his background. |
|
By:
i agree with the wildman......the fingers is from inner city dublin.....hes born and bred there......why hes ashamed of it.....only he can tell us that.....
|
|
By:
Lol Wildmanfromborneo listen "checkmate" is a term used for when playing chess when your opponent's King is exposed and there is alternative but for them to concede. You've obviously a much greater imbecile that i originally thought you were if you thought this was a "rhyming slang" from Dublin.
Friday nights for me growing up was chess night. My language is English, impossible to decipher where a person is from looking at my last post. Sligored confirmed he knew me while Wonkster said SR was a very decent chap which he is, so all in all it's game over for you. |
|
By:
fingers.....why are u ashamed of your roots?........why the need to pretend?......
|

By:
Your low attention span kicking in again,try reading my post slowly.The two examples of rhyming slang I gave were cream crackered for tired and Mae West for feeling unwell how you managed to think checkmate came into it we can only put down to whatever disorder your parents claimed you have while availing of a generous careers allowance.
Sligored most definitely did not confirm he knew you,he said he thought he could know you probably confusing you with some charity case at the Slige Rovers matches. The relevant question now is do you know Sligored? |
|
By:
Look the fact that you did not even know what checkmate was and had to be explained to you illustrates how impoverished you intellect is. Instead you invent two words out of the blue and say i said them to back up your claim i'm not from Sligo
I never used the phrase 'cream crackered' and i could be mistaken but i don't think that is Dublin 'ryming slang' yes i know Sligored, i already said he was a good lad. |

By:
stopped readin at crimbo
|

By:
saying he was a good lad hardly constitutes knowing him......u dont know him fingers.....and he dont know you.....

By:
He has to be a dub because he keeps saying rovers rovers rovers sure everyone in ireland know the real rovers are SHAMROCK ROVERS,
|
|
By:
You are mistaken and you did use the expression.
Again your failure to understand basic English has led to your downfall,twas you used the word checkmate I have made no reference to it at all. It will be interesting to see if Sligored confirms this new found friendship,somehow I doubt it. |

Haha Huddys
Right all i can say is if you asked WR or Huddys where do they think i'm from they certainly do not think i'm a dub. Today i must be battling 6 or 7 of you on my own. The fact that Wildman failed to understand what 'checkmate' was why hardly surprising but it shows up the dangers of using a thesaurus on it's own without a good grounding of the language itself. It obviously has another usage as a Dublin ryming slang that i'm unaware of but his thesaurus is no doubt probably right but it's made him look rather foolish. This also set him off bringing up other words that i've used in my 2 years or so on here that he scarily somehow remembers. As for the distance between Sligo and Galway Wildman again fails to check facts and somehow but again not surprisingly agrees with the mind numbing richters that Sligo is no more than 1 hour and half from Galway, i'm North Sligo and i'm close to 2 and half hours away driving within the speed limit, Sligo town is 2 hours and 4 mins from Ballybrit according to aa route planner. Everything i ever said in here i can back up, the so called lies keep on getting turned to fact, the Spreadbetting free evenings which thickster confirmed i had to be at. All in all i'm to smart for you and it would be perfect if Rovers win the LOI and i could retire from this place safe it the knowledge i came i saw i conquered. |

By:
Checkmate is not used in rhyming slang and for you to think that a thesaurus is needed for such a common place word speaks volumes about yourself.
I am waiting for your next thread which will probably start As I was flying home on Concorde after my exhausting match against Bobby Fisher two Swedish girls recognised me.......... |
|
By:
Bobby Fisher died over 4 years ago to be fair Wildman, i have played against some good chess players and 1 absolute genius, literally a game would last minutes between us. He was from Pakistan and we lived in the same house during Uni, it was here that i came to understand the Islamic faith and this is why i often correct you on you tabloid views that you hold on it.

By:
You have an incredible understanding of Islam and have given us these classics
Muslims are good to women that's why they don't let them work Muslims are good to women they don't put them through the trauma of doing exams Muslims are good to women as they always drive the cars for them |
|
By:
"Muslims are good to women as they always drive the cars for them" I never said that, also they let them do exams and they let them work but they're traditional where the woman is placed at the top of the family and is the most important person there. Education is important in Islam but treating your woman is more important and men like to make their women feel like Queens and queens don't work, but if they want to they'll let them. Tomorrow don't buy the sun newspaper, by a broadsheet instead.

Rocketfingers,
Did you ever play against a lad called Michael Watters? |
|
By:
Play what Bass? I know 3 of them and to the best of my recollection none of them were much good at football/either code.
|
|
By:
Watters was a very good chess player and probably still plays.

Nah deffo not Bass, never seen him on the circuit
