Re: Israel and Palestine
Without bothering to follow this story very much there are parallels here with the Republicans in NI always supporting the Palestinians while the Loyalists always support Israel. Back in the days of Apartheid, the South African government were very close to Israel - security cooperation even nuclear...

Re: What did you watch last night?
I tried to watch "The Irish Connection" (2022) on Amazon Prime but only lasted 20 minutes. A poorly directed mess with no plot, dire dialogue and worse acting. Stolen bearer bonds, gangsters and spies sounds like it might be interesting but it isn't. Do yourselves a favour and avoid. I gav...

Re: Ospreys at the Loch of the Lowes, Perth & Kinross, Scotland
It's been a worrying couple of weeks for those of us who follow the Ospreys with no sign of the male bird LM12 as he normally arrives a week before the female. She's been on site since the 8th March with no sign of hubby. However, normal service has resumed with the male appearing at 4.30pm this eve...

Re: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL
So under the government's wonderful new plans to move away from filling the pockets of hoteliers for 'generously' taking in asylum seekers, they now intend to fill the pockets of property developers and speculators to provide purpose-built State accommodation for the ever increasing tide of immigran...

Re: Bambie Thug - - Ireland's Eurovision enty..
Jaysus, who would that buy that sort of stuff? I can, hand on heart, say that I have not intentionally watched the Eurovision since the 1970s and my last memory of it was seeing the "Riverdance" act at the interval in 1994 - and only because it happened to be on down the pub. Dana and Abba...

Re: Moscow Theatre attack
I don't think Ukraine has the mentality to do this. Whatever about inflicting multiple casualties on the battlefield, I doubt the idea of attacking civilians in such a barbarous manner would be to the forefront in Ukrainian minds. Doesn't have the footprint of ISIS either, those guys don't normally...

Re: Moscow Theatre attack
Russia has made plenty of enemies since the collapse of the USSR and any number of groups could have carried out the attack including Putin's own security services. The least likely group to have carried out the attack are the Ukrainians as it only gives Putin an excuse to crack down on them even ha...

The French destroyed the brits (or whatever name they were hiding behind at the time) during the Hundred Years War. You know, the big one. Destroyed them. Owned. Lol. That's a rather simplistic view of the extended conflict which favoured one side then the other - anyway I was only having a dig at ...

Surprised " The Devil Went Down To Georgia " (1979) by the Charlie Daniels Band hasn't been mentioned - a really lively one where the Devil loses out and " Spanish Train " (1975) by Chris de Burgh where he has the upper hand. Both classics but I suppose you're all too young to re...

Might have even been Alpine Choughs - main difference being they have yellow bills instead of red ones. Crows of all kinds are so intelligent and fascinating to watch.

Live Chough Webcam from Mizen Head
Heard this mentioned on RTE this morning and it sounds worth looking in on. As usual RTE were trying to sensationalise the story by emphasising that Choughs are an endangered species and they must be being forced from their usual breeding sites - remote sea cliffs - by human activity. Judging from t...
