Regardless of any of your links - which I don't have the time to look at - the plain facts are that Trump incited the mob and that led to the handbags/riot/insurrection at the Capitol. It's all about signals. Diverging slightly but it was the British government's withdrawing a naval presence at the ...

Given how Trump's words led his followers to attempt an insurrection in the USA one can only imagine the effect of his NATO comments on Putin and his fellow travellers..

The point was the connection between trump and Putin that you and the op made which was a lie propagated by the media, funded by Hilary Clinton with help from the DNC(all proven ).the world was far safer under trump’s presidency, he’s not deranged and his obsession with power is not bad in and of i...

Not too mention the report by Peter Bacon that said we had far too many hotels: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/quarter-of-hotel-rooms-must-close-says-bacon-1.770198 Incidentally, he was right and if it wasn't for all the Direct Provision etc. the dire state of of our hotel sector would be more ...

And Fergus Finlay on Newstalk this afternoon saying that Ireland should be prepared to take in 100,000 refugees from Gaza.. ffs....is there no end to the madness?

If proof were needed that the man is either completely mad, or as many suggest, Putin's puppet: mhttps://www.reuters.com/world/us/republicans-bl ... 024-02-12/ Where does that leave little old Ireland which doesn't pay NATO anything?

Gone and already forgotten.

The John Creedon Show on RTE.1. great mix tonight.

Newstalk's Ciara Kelly and Shane Coleman are in full reverse mode these days - the arson attacks etc are the work of disgruntled locals not the 'far right'....this after months and months of blaming the 'far right' for all agitation. What a pair of muppets - nothing new there.

I watched the first episode of this new 6-part crime drama on the player this evening and it ticked a lot of boxes for me - great scenery, a Scandi noir vibe (but sadly no snow), an interesting plot and of course the sensuous Lisa Dwan in the lead role. The chief complaint would be some of the stran...

To paraphrase Monty Python's John Cleese - this place wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it. It's not Guburnor or the site's fault that the bulk of younger people can only take/give information in 3 second snapchat/tiktok sound bites or prefer to get their information fr...

A chance find in a Wexford charity shop today - 50 cents but hang the expense! :mrgreen: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-t-0lQjqQB7zk-w_eFirKyefiydjUhi7o_jFYjXOcmY2Yz2SyYIF0SLIbzjNZqJzhPU46ctjxcMjxdRDMDkJ8gof9PbAXPyIixx_OHAZWufS800u-yNqsjclnHL_ZmlzUdVzCKMDiSMhTRNV9f9zmU...

You're nearly as much of a dinosaur as myself! Next thing you'll be coming out against our armed forces and gardai being allowed to come to work in their PJs on days that suit themselves.

I think we shold just send Jedward every year until we wear the opposition down into letting us win.

Dustin!

Ciara just said "mispronunciate " - I kid you not.

This morning Ciara and Shane returned to the gift that keeps on giving - the mangling of the English language - and they should know as they are both major contributors. Ciara also gave us the benefit of her extensive knowledge of Irish agriculture with a comparison of our national cattle herd with...

I thought sending Dustin the Turkey out to represent Ireland couldn't be beaten and now we have this. Ticks all the pc boxes. https://i2-prod.irishmirror.ie/incoming/article31980841.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/3_bambie-thug-eurovision.jpg The Wiki entry for Bambie Thug looks like it was added by Roderic O...

Trump and Biden both needed to be retired. What a choice, vote for a dangerous lunatic or somebody with borderline dementia.

https://apnews.com/article/nitrogen-execution-death-penalty-alabama-699896815486f019f804a8afb7032900 This is an interesting read..who would think killing people would be so difficult. They have those clinics in Switzerland etc so don't get why America has such a problem executing the death penalty....

"Land of the Blind" (2006) on DVD - a pirated copy which I will be donating to a charity shop. As depressing a movie as one could watch about the human condition, totalitarianism, revolution etc. Even the presence of Donald Sutherland and Ralph Fiennes wouldn't make me want to watch it ag...

Nail on the head with this post. This place started out with great energy and promise. A place to have reasoned conversations and a laugh. But as always happens power corrupts and Il Duce, the gubunator let it go to his head and banned people left right and centre. Then you can't even mention plank...

Guburnor's light touch moderation was abused by quite a number of posters and he gave them more than enough chances. If anything has driven people away, it is the negative, abusive posting by some of those posters. Others came, signed up but were not prepared to make the effort to make the forum wor...
