There's no way anyone could have thought Graeme McDowell and class belonged in the same sentence.

Re: 200,000 Ukrainians could come to Ireland

I always knew this would get nasty. Not just here I mean, but nationwide. There’s a big division coming over this and it’ll make the divisions that covid created seem minuscule.

Re: 200,000 Ukrainians could come to Ireland

If you think "let's lie on the census so our houses won't be taken" is serious discussion, we disagree. And going completely off topic hardly advances *serious discussion". Now, Ukrainians coming to Ireland? I never mentioned them being taken, not did I mention them definitely using ...

Re: 200,000 Ukrainians could come to Ireland

I don’t trust this government, and their constant yearning for a pat on the head from the EU, not to get to the stage where they’re landing at peoples doors and forcing home sharing on them. For a start I’ll be sticking 1 bedroom on the census form come April and hope for their usual laziness in sel...

Re: What are *you* doing?

Now that I think of it I’ve done nothing yet. I’ll look into how or what you can give, I think there were a few local things I missed as I didn’t know they were happening until they were done. Fair play to anyone willing to house people, I couldn’t do it.

If you took every single one of those head case tweets in the past few days and replaced 'all men' with 'all blacks' or 'all muslims' or even 'all english', there would have been war. It's absolutely sick the way some groups have latched on to such a tragedy.

RTE just summed it up there. 10 minutes on vigils and interviewing people on about “gender based violence” and then it’s basically, ‘oh yeah some lad in Donegal was killed too’ - now onto Novak Djokovic.

Re: Ireland's Obesity Crisis

I can kind of understand the other poster's argument. If a shop offered a choice of salad or a pizza, and the customer consistently chose the pizza, then they only have themselves to blame for their obesity and inevitable heart attack. The problem is the shops are not even offering a healthy option...

LOL a bit of an overreaction surely? :lol: The housing crisis, the stripping away of our civil liberties, and the demographic replacement of the native Irish are not cause for concern but a bureaucrat increases the price of beer and there are calls for a revolution.
