    Most likely. A woman from the flight has been arrested for drug offences, so I would assume so.

    I'm looking through Twitter for stuff about it now.



    She is going to be gutted. If you look at the replies to that tweet, she's been waiting since 9am this morning.

    Cheers.

    Yeah, it must've taken some guts to go out and deliver that announcement. They/the venue seem to be getting stick now for leaving it so late just so they could sell merchandise and burgers and drinks.

    You can imagine GS marching around backstage demanding they rinse everybody before announcing it.

    He's not really living in it. I guess, "man with hotel-like office facilities sleeps in van" isn't a very good headline though.

    If the slogan was 'Republic of Ireland' it would have been legitimate.

    Ireland is the island that encompasses both the Republic and Northern Ireland, no?

    You're right that the geographical island is called Ireland, but the state is also called Ireland. Again, there's no such country that's called the Republic of Ireland.

    I'm confused.

    The fuss has been caused by the map not including Northern Ireland, no?

    Which is presumably a legitimate complaint if there's no such country as Republic of Ireland. Yet Giggles first post claims that the t-shirt is perfectly legitimate.

    Educate me.

    The t-shirt shows an outline of the country of Ireland and has the word Ireland written over it, which is correct in every way. Yet goons who think we still have some tie to Northern Ireland got their knickers in a knot and started tweeting Reebok forcing them to apologise for doing fuck all wrong.

    'The Republic of Ireland' is not an official name (it was originally used by us to disrespect them), and since the t-shirt presumably refers to that dickhead with the gorilla tattoo it's about the country he's from ('Ireland') rather than the landmass.

    Both Ireland and the UK used to play silly buggers with names until they both agreed to go official in 1998.

    McGregor's coach (who is from Dublin) wasn't a fan either tbh:



    It was removed because he threatened for his gym (SBG Ireland) to walk from Reebok, probably wouldn't have worked if Conor wasn't with the gym.

    They could make everybody happy with a 'British Isles' t-shirt (shortened to 'British' if it was found to be more stylistic).

    I still say we'd never had any of these problems at all, even a lot of the balaclava based ones, if they'd all just agreed to name the small country Western Scotland back in 1921. It'd have all sunk in better by now as the similar names is still keeping the drongos clutching to something.

    That was changed with the 19th amendment. There's no claim to northern Ireland now. Though there's still some wanky claim of the nation as a people. If they'd stop handing out passports to them then I could live with it.

    I know it was changed but there's still the 'aspiration' for a united Ireland.

    And I've got one of those passports.

    That's the sorry part about it is that you can get one, and why they should never have bent over on that one for that agreement.

    As far as I'm concerned there's nothing to unite. Ireland, which was born in 1949 when they left the commonwealth, was never divided.

    It's hilarious how many people blindly swallow up that "Ireland is the name of the island containing two countries, the Republic of bla bla bla" and preach it to people without any thought it might be wrong. Mahow trying to correct Giggles, an actual Irishman, is a particularly lol example.

    Though Lewis is right in a way that the correct name was never recognised officially by the UK until the good Friday in 1998 even though it had been internationally for decades previously.

    Most unionist Northern Irish still refer to us as the 'Free State', which ceased to exist 78 years ago. But that's more in a derogatory way than an uninformed way.

    See that stupid shit about ethnic police officers? So they need ethnics even if they're total shit in areas full of ethnics to 'generate trust' but they want more ethnics in areas full of non-ethnics to also 'generate trust'.

    Makes sense, Theresa May you appalling cunt of a woman.
