    Clare beat Cork to win All-Ireland Final

    Yeah. I was a bit confused as I sat there yesterday afternoon watching the match. I had no idea what was going on and how the scoring system works but as I watched I gradually figured it out (see if you can figure it out). Hurling is one of three sports administered by the GAA in the Republic...

    Foreign tourist collapsed as she is bitten by a King's horse

    Two days ago armed Metropolitan Police officers confronted a group of young Middle Easterners as they disrespected a King's Guard in London. The foreigners were made to leave. This goes on a lot. Don't mess with these guys. Those London cops were a class act, by the way. Shame on their teacher.

    Foreign tourist collapsed as she is bitten by a King's horse

    Back in March an armed Metropolitan Police officer confronted a group of American tourists after they heckled a King's guard in London. In a video that appeared on TikTok the young Americans (judging by their accent) shouted out names to the King's guard hoping for a reaction. And they did...

    Foreign tourist collapsed as she is bitten by a King's horse

    I don't think he said a word. I'm surprised the King's Guard let the woman get so close to him without saying anything. Usually when someone gets too close to them they bellow out to them to back off. It's usually foreign tourists who think the soldiers and horses are for show rather than...

    Foreign tourist collapsed as she is bitten by a King's horse

    This... ... is like when Emu attacked Michael Parkinson in 1976... It's fucking hilarious. Don't anger a King's horse and don't anger Emu. That's the motto of today's story.

    Buzz Lightyear for President!

    The difference being that our monarch doesn't have a political role unlike your President. Our Prime Minister is only 61. And it's entirely possible for us to have a monarch in the future who will just be four years old.

    Buzz Lightyear for President!
