Re: Israel and Palestine

This includes a small video sampling of what is an ongoing murder spree by the Zionist Israeli state in the occupied territories of Gaza and West Bank. These videos are by their nature very graphic and disturbing. I have refrained from posting any to date, but after approximately two months of murd...

Re: Bakehurst Orders Immediate Recruitment Freeze in RTE

Right this is really annoying me. This narrative that if people don't pay their TV licence the tax payer will have to bail out RTE. Tax payers are the bloody TV licence buyers. They have chosen not to pay directly. If politicians decide to use exchequer funds to bail out RTE anyway, they really can'...

Re: The 2023 Rugby World Cup

Best game of the weekend tonight - Wales vs Fiji - with the latter playing the game as it was always meant to be played. Wales, aided by some very dubious reffing decisions, scraped home 32 - 26. The only consolation is that Wales are no-hopers and won't get anywhere in the competition. The ref abs...

Re: Dublin gets more like Gotham with every passing day..

I regularly travel to Dublin for work. Maybe I'm wrong but I get a sense people that live there are just immune to the sights and sounds of how bad it is. You hear all cities are like these but they're not. Certainty not in the prime shopping areas, or the main street of a city. It really is a kip a...

Watched it last night. Yes really enjoyed it. It was certainly different in terms of the typical Earth disaster movies. And the ending was hilarious

I started back watching some episodes of meat eater. American guy that hunts and cooks what he kills. Mostly big animals like deer. He certainly knows how to cook. As someone who fishes and shoots I enjoy it.
