    Phelps 18 gold - Argentina 17 gold

    Utter crap. Money has everything to do with it!! If you don't invest in grass roots training, facilities etc. then the youth will have much less of a chance to excel at sport. Then paying a salary/sponsorship allows athletes to focus on their chosen sport. No money equals no training, as they...

    Olympics coverage here

    If you were in the UK what victories or competitions would they be showing? British ones? What you expect the Argentinian channels to do? They are damn right to show anything with Argentina competitors in it as the athletes have earned the right for the people in Argentina to watch them...

    Freezers off at night?!

    Dry aged meat is great and back home it is common practice for meat to be hung for 28 days at a temperature of 4 degrees. Irish meat is great quality, tender and grass fed, but the extra hanging time really gives it something extra. They couldn't believe it here when i told them. Never had...

    What cut of meat do I use for a good roast beef dinner?

    I have been picking the brains of my Argentine father in law (bloody good asador) but can't tell me exactly the cut that we use in Ireland. In Ireland we generally use Top Rib. It can be on the bone or off. You can use sirloin too (bife de chorizo) but i prefer Top Rib. Anyone out there have...

    Thank you BA Bomberos and Policia

    Just a quick shoutout to the Bomberos and Policia! Woke up 6am this morning in Capital, to banging on the door and shouting. Turned out an apartment had gone on fire. We were on the sixth floor. The hall was full of smoke. It was serious to say the least. A policeman came runnning up the...

    THE KILLKENNY 60 peso two pints wtf

    I was contemplating on going to Kilkenny to watch Ireland in Euro 2012 but I will definitely be giving it a miss if that's what they are charging! 60 pesos…*practically 11euros! No wonder there was nobody else there. Joke. I know inflation here is rampant but a lot of places just bang up the...
