The Irish

nah scratch that, i mean a certain kind of pub and tbf there are more of that kind of pub over your way to the best of my knowledge

well we need to put all of our bar-room experts somewhere

blather and dhrink is still a big part of irish interest in whatever is on tv tho id say

betting is another factor to take into account too here

which is part and parcel of dhrink i suppose

musha and tis

i went to college with the writer of this. it's just... bad on so many levels.

Fuck the irish times this past year

Didnt see who it was til now. Appallingly moronic, or at best reaaonably talented clickbait generator. Near enough #1 symbol of decline in the paper imo.

wait til you read her Beyonce liveblog!

Wait ti i dont hey

The writing itself is just awful, like there are so many poorly constructed sentences. Beyond that, prob best not to use a word like hedonism when trying to highlight some new modern evil.

Ah, the renowned Irish Twitter personality.

Any of ye see London Irish? Worst thing to happen to us as a people since the Famine.

First ive heard of it and im already nervous

LI was hilarious in its pointless shitness. Also hideous in its stereotyping, but hey.

Who knew there were so many trampolines in Ireland? Woke up with one embedded in the garden hedge, one took out the power on the DART this morning and they've apparently been causing chaos all over the country.

trampolines have definitely become a thing in the last five years or so

good oul limerick. always making the headlines for the wrong reasons. the NYE gig was an absolute shambles actually. everyone was shunted into the courthouse yard like cattle, could barely see the stage, gargantuan queues for the bars (and not enough of them) and they even fucked up the countdown! i had left a long time before that, after spending over 20 euro for a ticket. doesnt bode well for the city of culture.

i never heard irish in the aussie accent before but there's a guy talking about stars on dara o'briain programme atm and he's somewhere btwn meblourne and the ardoyne between coughs

Darragh, I brought this up on Mordy's Aaliyah thread but I'll bring it up up, more oppositely, here; what was the deal with Ballyshannon? The partition deprived it of a rail connection to the Republic and then...?

Aaliyah! A++

i dunno the deal with ballyshannon, unless you can narrow down the question! it was a regular border checkpoint for me is all, though we were driving from donegal to mayo (within the republic throughout, as far as i was ever aware)

he could possibly be just a dickhead too

nah i think he's sound

he's a sight better than yon nerd just there

im not watching it - a new stand up comedy show is it?

this story has been getting stranger all day.

beaten to death over chess match, details make it reasonably clear we're dealing with lovers, then its around that he's a researcher for the fuckin IONA

now apparently its cannabalism

is there a reliable source for cannibalism claims

gonna interpret that as a burn on the indo

Couple of different outlets carrying similar, differ btwn heart/lungs tbf

so Una Mullally's going to be writing the entire paper in a few years I guess

Shes welcome to IT, a pile of shite.

Podcasts are my new entertainment source at work.

would read the indo before the times tbh

oof

Its getting closer but if thats a claim extending back longer than a year then no wai u mad etc

im going by recent saturday editions of times and indo - times is much poorer in comparison

Ive not found anything great lately. Back when i was going to actually use the BBS id get the business post (maybe thats under new running now too?) but i paid for an indo once in my life and not never again, the reaction i took against it was that strong.

Mar ya things are that bad that we get the sunday times now and try to make it last the week, an awful shtate of (current) affairs

deeply amused (but not at all surprised) by Mr Flahavan being there

*Passes driving test*

*Immediately begins to drive while precariously perching an iPhone on his clutch foot and glancing down at it every 5 seconds*

lol

we drive on the left?

I have no idea tbh and I actually can't begin to parse who's driving what in that video

My first thought tbh was dang, Robb Stark learned how to drive

i say it in the full and sure knowledge that he'll never read it, but meself and herself saw an awful lot of her aul fella in the reaction.

dont watch GOT but have had a pint with jack gleeson (i have luvvie theatre friends now i live in dublin doncheknow) and he's a grand fella

Punch him in the face for me

Actually he's one of my favs. I love how much people love to hate him

arah i couldnt punch the lad in the face, sure i hardly know him
