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.

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


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.

    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
