I do too. At least they should be able to travel without being in chains this time.........which is a plus.

Apparently a top bloke from what I hear, Keef and Sean liked him a lot.

for clarity, I haven't said that. Many people disagree with my views. I don't say they have mental illness. If I intimated that you have a mental illness it'll be for some other reason. And I wish to retract any accusation of you having a mental illness


But you do seem keen to equate Ireland fighting an often brutal colonial occupying force with Ireland voluntarily entering into a union with it's nearby trading partners. I am still calling that view (and not you personally) as nuts

Actually I don't think Collins sold out at all. He got as much as he believed was possible at the time. Of course this caused a civil war in Ireland. Just a few years earlier the 1916 rising was frowned upon by the majority of people in Ireland (at least from what my memory of reading Irish history is). The English f*cked up by killing the leaders of the rising, and as they say, the rest is history.

Who is this Declan fellow you speak of, is he another semi mythical entity?

It seems the Irish politicians and bankers were schooled at the same asylum or bin,


as the British politicians and bankers.


Nobody gets knicked for fraud,


so the Irish judiciary is as dependable as the British judiciary.


Through greed and incompetence the Irish have become a bankrupt state,


so the British verging on the edge of the same financial precipice have agreed to loan them money,


as they are the biggest trading partner we have.


We are loaning money to a bankrupt state so they can continue to trade with us,


whilst using our own money to do so, does that position seem precarious to you?

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
