@PatrickKennelly "Where winners were trained" is bit of a lame headline.. would of went "where legends were made and trained" or something like that

News for people.
An allegation of assault made by a child against a staff member in a school. It took 4 months and lots of hassle for someone from the school to act. Tusla sit on it for 2 months, then ask to meet the child. Gardai made aware of it. Gone to ground. #Cork

🥃 @Pernod_Ricard & @JackDaniels_US : Vers un nouveau géant mondial ?
Le deal de l'année se précise. La famille Brown-Forman préférerait l'offre de Pernod Ricard à celle de Sazerac. Le luxe français séduit le Bourbon américain. 🇫🇷🇺🇸
🔹 Influence > Cash : La famille préfère devenir actionnaire de Pernod plutôt que d'encaisser 15 Mds$ de Sazerac. Une leçon de vision patrimoniale long terme. 📈💎
🔹 Numéro 2 mondial : Le duo pèserait 30 Mds€ en Bourse, talonnant de près Diageo. Un "Pricing Power" massif face à l'inflation. 🚀📊
🔹 Synergie de marques : Jack Daniel's + Absolut + Chivas... un catalogue quasi-invincible dans les bars du monde entier. 🍸🏰
Ce mariage prouve que dans le secteur des spiritueux, la reconnaissance de marque vaut plus que l'argent frais. Si le deal se confirme avec 80% d'actions, Pernod Ricard change de dimension boursière. 🏛️💰
Le rival Sazerac n'a pas dit son dernier mot, mais l'affect familial penche pour la France. On ne vend pas une icône, on l'allie. 🥃🔥
Alors, prêt à porter un toast à la consolidation du CAC40 ? 🥂

@BowesChay Jameson was always known as the kings soldiers whiskey as they supported british rule.. i wouldnt touch a drop of it not even irish owned
English

In 1888, James "Sligo" Jameson, heir to the Irish Jameson whiskey fortune, committed a horrific act during the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in the Congo.
To witness cannibalism first hand, Jameson "purchased" a 10 year old girl for "six handkerchiefs and handed her over to a local tribe". He watched as she was killed and eaten, documenting the entire process in six watercolor sketches to "study the customs."
The incident became a massive scandal in 1890 after expedition leader Henry Morton Stanley leaked the details to the press.
Jameson "died of fever" in Africa before he could face the public fallout in Europe.
While the whiskey brand has long distanced itself from his actions, the story remains a grim record of colonial depravity.
While Jameson is considered a "Catholic" or "Green" whiskey, the founder was actually a Scots Protestant. (So we can blame them)

@odonoghuejames @OfficialCorkGAA @officialgaa Most clubs in cork only got terrace tickets.. no idea where all the stand tickets have gone.. last year the clubs got plenty
English

The over selling of tickets for the terraces is really getting out of hand with @OfficialCorkGAA. The walkways on Blackrock End were all lined people for the duration of the game today. People crammed up on top of each other really takes from the match experience. @officialgaa
