Traditional Irish dancing rubbish? That was my view. Just watched a show, bloody marvellous. Now where did my family go?

It's traditional in the Emerald Isle for their rubbish to dance? Wow--maybe that has something to do with all the Guinness and Jameson.

My old phone was ailing, so I replaced it this morning. I don't like using the phone much, so I stuck with a flip phone--a smartphone seems superfluous for one who seldom looks at or even answers his phone. Were it not keeping in contact with work, I would likely eschew the phone entirely.

When I had to replace my old flip phone (older model with a dead, obsolete battery), a new model of the same phone would have cost $80. A base model smart phone was 1¢. grrrrrr! Oh well, the phone still sits on the window sill next to the kitchen table. It makes a good paper weight.

count me in the flip phone club, too. i had to replace mine earlier this year after discovering it was no longer usable in canada; i go there often enough to warrant a replacement. i had to pay good money for the new one, too, much less than than the latest "smart" phone. but the extra monthly charges would have soon enough made up the difference. not to mention the endless staring and dabbing thing.

Leading at the top of the final climb of the Tour's second Pyrenean stage, a tough 184-kilometer ride from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon, he attacked when least expected on the grueling Col de Peyresourde.
"It surprised myself too, this was the first time in my career that I attacked in a downhill, I did not believe I was able to win like this," said Froome, who used a left jab to push aside a fan running too close to him before his stunning descent.
The scenery and racing was breathtaking.
