It always annoyed me about Rolf, I liked him when I was a kid, unlike Saville who I always found to be a creep, this guy managed to hide it well.

I used to love the way he'd use a 4 inch brush to daub some shapeless mass on a page and then, with a flourish, would turn it sideways or upside down to reveal a perfect portrait or structure. Amazing talent.

No loss either as this nonsensical space race between super rich gobshites has Wall-e written all over it.

I was happy to see that Detective John Caldwell has made enough of a recovery to be out and about recently. Good news.
Eleven people have also been arrested in connection with his shooting.

This MUPPET won't be flying anywhere anytime soon again. I'm sure if he were flying on Ryanair and did that, Mic O'Leary would have something nice lined up for him.

That's just a shocking thing to happen. A child's grave desecrated. The ignorant hatred involved in that.

Terrible train crash in India. At least 50 dead, hundreds in hospital. Horrible.

Re: General Current Affairs Chat - Global and Local
Almost 300 dead in the Indian train crash.
There was a crash in 1981 in India where 800 people died. Insane. Having travelled a fair bit on Indian trains I know they can be unbelievably crowded. Over 900 are injured with this three train collision. It's hard to comprehend the kind of numbers in a train crash but it is such a populous place- just so completely different than here.

Re: General Current Affairs Chat - Global and Local
These people should be named and shamed:
And as if that wasn't bad enough:Neighbours in a salubrious southside Dublin suburb demanded €225,000 each to not object to planning permission for a housing development.
The written request has been referred to gardaí after the property developer reported a potential fraud.
It lifts the lid on the practice of “go away money” payments for dropping objections to planning in the housing crisis.
The homeowners all work in highly reputable positions, including a senior executive in a prestigious professional services firm, the director of an international company and a member of a state board.
https://archive.ph/tSz6M#selection-2695.0-2695.208The group also proposed to bring an offer to other residents along the road, but this would not be for cash, merely for boundary changes. In effect, their own neighbours would not be getting the same benefit.

I heard this on the radio today - being named and shamed is the least of their problems as they may find themselves falling foul of the law.

Interesting there - now I suffer from general anxiety disorder and so I am not unsympathetic but when people have been killed, others are critically ill and fighting and some have life changing injuries, to read "one victim had an anxiety attack".gugleguy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 11:31 am It goes on Graduation shooting in Virginia

Hilarious coming from the BBC, after for 2.5 years they peddled the lie that kids as young as 2 need to be wearing a mask all day in creches...It should fit tightly to your face to work well as a filter. They are not designed to fit children though, officials caution.

Apparently he was some sort of 'Christian' religious loon but if he had been sent back to his own country (ten years ago) the incident would not have occurred.Bishop_Brennan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 2:39 pm Terrible, he must have been influenced by white supremacy or worse - Andrew Tate...
