Bloody hell - they still produce it! I'm sure that a bottle used to appear every Christmas when I was young...

Yes that occurred to me half way through rehearsal - sorry. It was indeed Sonny Boy and so not at all relevant to this thread.



Sorry. I'll get my coat.

My opinion, like yours, is as valid as the next mans/womans. I detest the song.

Isn't the whole point of a forum to invite discussion and debate? Please correct if I'm wrong. You obviously like the "song" I hate it.

Has anyone seen PGC? I feel we might need to send in the authorities. 48 solid hours of Danny Boy, Scotch Concoctions and lachrymose semi-wakefulness must have taken a fearful toll.


She's probably hallucinating that Pa McGuigan is crawling out of a giant bottle of Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine, dressed in a Palestinian Policeman's uniform, whilst singing I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen.


I mean, I know it's a normal evening's entertainment round LoochiB's place, but I'm not sure PGC has the bottom for it.

Nope I think it?s pretty naff as it happens (you will note my distinct lack of contribution prior to a few posts ago). But the thread was started asking about what people thought was the best version of Danny Boy and then went into quite a pleasant if a little sentimental discussion about the different versions of the song and the benefits of drinking your way through the flu. A discussion unpleasantly punctuated by two rude outbursts from you.


Let me explain. If you started a thread saying, ?Say chaps I really think this soccer business is just swell. What say we all contribute with our favourite club is? You tell me yours and I?ll tell you mine.?

It would be a bit remiss of me to pipe up and say, ?Soccer?s a stupid game for big stupid pooheads.?


That sort of discussion may be better suited for my own thread entitled, ?Soccer?s a stupid game for big stupid pooheads. Who?s with me, let?s write to our MP.?


Unless of course you?re a prat like me and you ruin someone?s thread by starting a pointless argument with someone that has nothing to do with the topic and doesn't have any other redeeming value whatsoever except to make you look like a buffoon who has just bumbled into the music chamber and put his clodhopper through the cello.

Would it be OK to say, "Normally I think soccer's a stupid game for big stupid pooheads, but as the World Cup is in my country of birth and that I thought I might try and get into it, but following recent events, I find myself confirmed in the opinion that soccer's a stupid game for big stupid cheating, chavvy, pooheads."


Just askin' like.



(Sorry PGC. This can't be doing the hallucinations any good at all. I've sent my elephant round to have a look and check you're OK)

Brendan, have the hippies been rubbing you up the wrong way again?


I would add though, that its not much of a "debate" to merely state that you hate something. I don't think that would cut the mustard in the debating society. Bloody short debate though - finish early and go to the pub.

That's another thread entirley Ted and has nothing to do with Danny Boy being a french song about Arsenal.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
