Agree 100% with the above...with one minor niggle: No, we're encouraged to continue ... The "encouragement" is looking more and more like a stick than a carrot recently. Personal mobility no longer means the freedom to explore, it is just the means to get you from your house out in the sti...

we "ordinary citizens" in the Civilised West are just as much subject to exploitation and subjugation by these groups as our peers in the "Third World" That is, of course, technically correct ...with the exception maybe that up to recently we didn't feel exploited/subjugated eno...

Kinda like the world bank really

Here's the pitch: Rich nations owe a massive climate debt to poorer nations: for the devastating impacts of the fossil fuels we have burned. Yet they have no intention of paying for the loss and damage they have caused. Poor countries are deemed to owe massive financial debts to the rich nations, ye...

See the way every thing has shades of dark and light, and nothing is as straight up as it seems. Problem is though, newspaper headlines, tweets, facebook posts and insta captions don't leave room for grey ...everything has to be black and/or white. Try to show, disect and analyse the grey and all t...

Not good. I don't understand the constant ramping up of this. It is getting harder to see how this can be walked back towards a solution. Hard to know what to say. Neither do I. I have one hope for the future though. I anything good can come out of this godawful mess hopefully it will be that we Eu...

and in other news...

There are reports that Russian troops are in control of the Chernobyl ruins.

Great ...not only are we dealing with a mad dictator with "the bomb" but he's now also holding the world's biggest dirty bomb hostage.

Quite frankly ...I'm a tad scared.

Will Ireland become a Military Superpower?

What ...all four and a half of us?
With the tree ships, two fighter jets and five tanks that we can afford to buy, man and run?

You couldn't even defend the Arann Islands with that...

Superpower...me arse.

We could all stand outside and applaude the pharmacy workers and others who think the deserve something



I also think a bonus to the frontline workers is a good idea and well deserved.

Apparently men crashing open zoom meetings to masturbate is a "thing", I guess similar to sending unsolicited dick pic messages. It may not have originated in Ireland or be someone who knew what the meeting was about. Not sure if that makes it "better" or worse...ballkicking req...

Some wanker thought it a good idea to crash an online vigil and rub one out on zoom.

Such a juvenile fixation with alcohol in Ireland. It's embarrassing that this is a top story. Use this as an excuse to cut out casual drinking. A few beers annually at a wedding or Christmas party is enough for me. Ex- cuuuuse me ... Where I come from, beer is not considered to be "drink"...

Just to rub it in ..in your local REWE market in Germany from today ...
