You all gave 110 per cent.

That’s all the gaffer asks.

But there could be only three selected to win a copy each of [telly’s] Second Captains Sports Annual Vol 1.

They were:

munkifisht: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because I’ve listened to pretty much every Second Captains, even the bit’s I’ve no interest in. After that amount of time and investment, frittering away around 500 hours of my life, I’d think of a free annual as at least a runners up prize for participation.”

Darren: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because every Christmas as a child my Granny would get me 2 annuals; The Beano and The Dandy. No matter how many hints I asked my Ma to drop to my Granny that I wanted Shoot!. The aul dear was consistent if nothing else. Every year for 10 years I got a copy of The Beano and The Dandy and no Shoot! was ever found under my tree. I think a free copy of this book would bring me back to my childhood and clear the unnecessary resentment I hold towards my since passed Granny.”

Conor: “Well Brian, at the end of the day it’s a book of two halves and I deserve it because as a sport nut who’s married to a wife who wouldn’t know one end of a rugby ball from another and would have more success explaining the current diplomatic relations between all the countries meddling in the Syrian Shenanigans than the offside rule, it’s usually easier for me to buy my own present, wrap it and stick it under the tree myself. Winning this book would save me a lot of hassle this year and give me an excuse to be all nostalgic on Christmas Day and play football in the hall using two christmas crackers for goalposts and a bunch of rolled up hats as a ball while my wife looks on disapprovingly. Plus, it looks heavy. If I have to buy it myself I’ll have to carry it home from town. No-one wants to put me through that.”

Thanks all

New Dublin Bus fares, starting tomorrow

RTÉ reports:

“Cash fares for many Iarnród Éireann, Luas, Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann services will increase from tomorrow.”

“Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe said that level of the increases was “significantly less” than previous increases.”

““As Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus begin to get back on their feet again, because of more people using their services and because of additional investment from the Government, I am expecting that those sort of price increases that we saw in previous years are not repeated,” Mr Donohoe said.”
