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?

    • How many Premier League football stadiums are there in London?  40,000 people plus coming into residential areas every week. 
    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel.  This forum is anything but positive.  I was being a little mischievous.  Yes loud DIY projects and builders working out of hours does get my goat.  But not enough to start a thread of proper rant.
    • Why aren't the barricades and stages coming down?
    • Can people try and be positive, it's a City, you're always bound to get noise. Try talking and getting on with neighbours, it makes life so much easier helping each other out, chatting, talking, laughing, crying and having fun together.
