I haven't used Donegal airport but I have seen it. We were up there for a few days break a few years ago and on one of our drives came upon it purely by accident. It really is lovely, as is most of Donegal.Sligo airport, although no longer used for commercial flights is also nicely situated in Strandhill, but you'd know that anyway.
I had to spend about 6 hours in Moscow airport in the 90s and it was indeedpretty shit for a major airport. Back then staff offered to sneak you out for a suitable fee and give a guided tour for a few hours but I balked at the idea of hitting traffic and missing the connecting flight. I also wasn’t too sure about being out in Moscow with no visa and the risk of being dumped or ripped off by the bored airport staff.Did anybody here ever land in the old Hong Kong airport before it was replaced around 20years ago? Apparently a very hair raising experience coming in near high rise blocks.

If I went and nicked the takings from our local newsagent, I wouldn't expect an MBE for giving them back!

The Bielsa fair play thing needs to be balanced with him having to apologise for employing someone to spy on an opposing teams training session.
As for the Llorente incident, I watched it again to see what all the fuss was about. It wasn't just the tackle, it was the hard kick with the following foot that did the damage, after the initial dirty contact.. Then there was the 'grabbed' lift, where Llorente was hauled up, putting his full weight onto one shoulder. 3 yellows in one

A bit weird really given where I grew up.
The entry into London City if you circle round then come down the Thames over Westminster etc is pretty sweet.

There's not much else there but it's a nice place and the beach is long and lovely. We do it quite often.

Never been to Derry, Limerick, Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, Aran Islands and that's just the West Coast. No excuse given how small Ireland is.
