He also got back in as Prime Minister in 1951 (despite getting 3% less of the vote share than Labour).
She prefers the likes of Nationwide to tell u the truth.
The Johnnie’s have a new GAA PODDER
the first episode was with Sean Og last week and was an enjoyable listen. Sean Og had a good bit more craic about him than you’d expect
Going to watch it. Gibson hates the English

Two Tipp lads, interviewing a Cork lad. They’d have a great natural affinity with each other.

I very rarely listen to hurling podders but I’ve tuned into the indo one a few times this year and I’m listening now while preparing the dinner
I gave to say that Pat Simon is good to listen to
Dom is in great form in episode 5 on Gallipoli - the piss-taking of Brooke is a particular highlight.
They are doing World Cup national anthems this Monday apparently.

Was listening to some of it, hadn’t listened to football weekly in a long while
Baz Glendenning is stealing a living reading out a few notes he copied and pasted from various websites he noted “DR Congo are tactically disciplined” at one stage.
