Stone the crows cobber, they only went and bloody found it.
Is it me or are there seemingly more deaths from people being attacked by dogs these days? Seem to be stories about it happening almost all the time.
Probably all the immigrant dogs people keep bringing over.
Are we allowed to be racist about dogs?
Pretty sure all those Romanian rescue dogs and what have you are all part of a long con scam by vets/pet insurers, as they invariably need loads of ridiculously costly treatment soon after being rescued.
There are just more dogs about full stop, I think, and a certain percentage of those are the scummy dangerous breeds that should probably be genocided.
Every second moron seems to have a dog and they are far too emotive about them so that probably translates into crap rearing/safety. Any good dog trainer will tell you that dogs need to be treated like irrelevant scum, not like human beings.
There was a panorama report recently which essentially boiled down to twats breeding more and more exaggerated breeds like Cane Corso/XL Bully aka the horrible chav ones because profit. There's a couple round here but I have a hefty metal torch on me whenever I walk mine that I'm quite confident would dispatch one of the cunts if needed.
Any ideas, Giggles?
The obvious p(r)ick is Connor McGregor.
Edit: or not. Not old enough.
Matt Doherty.
I was going to pick Crafty Ken Dockitty but he's 53 now.
Probably a hurler or something.
Rugby and Boxing would be the only sports where you could be based in Ireland and pass the mail's 'well known sportsman' test, surely (and I'm not sure about boxing, is that more of a Northern Ireland thing?). I know its in their nature to mislead, but if it's some figure in the world of Irish Sports then you'd have to wonder why they'd be bothering to run the story.
So, in the spirit of speculation, how old is Brian O'Driscoll?
Could be horse racing. Naas and Punchestown are in that area.
Yeah I figured it was Rugby being based in Leinster.
Ruby Walsh is my guess
Would organised crime and horse racing really be a story?
Horse racing is the most corrupt sport going so maybe.
Transnational crime group is clearly going to be Kinahan, isn't it?
"County Kildare, eastern Ireland"is Giggles' neck of the woods, if memory serves.
Yeah but it's so corrupt which means it isn't news worthy. Might as well print that the sky is blue.
I see the latest round of cancellations [well, probably not that 'latest', but news to me] sees Delilah striken from the Welsh rugby songbook.
Is there any racist or sexist angle we can establish for Sweet Caroline?
Just say it's sung from a tranny's perspective and then it's alright.
What was the age? With him being in court in Kildare and being involved in dodge then most likely horse racing.
Just says "in his forties".
Completely this.
For the sort of cunt who would be horrible to a trans person they're using the levels of nonsense we've waded into on this as a cover to do so and for everyone else, they're thoroughly sick of it. To the point where people who would have been happy to go along with a trans woman being a woman no longer are as that somehow wasn't enough and they've thought "well I'll fuck all of it off then".
As Phonics highlights, it's impossible to escape it now. Everywhere you look someone is spouting absolute horseshit and expecting it to go unchallenged, which would be fine if it was an actual trans person doing so as at least they're living through it, but it never seems to be.
I also said the otherside laps it up so they don't have to talk about stuff that actually matters.
I agree. It's tragic that neither side realise or at least focus on what actually matters.
Sports ‘star’ Anthony Stokes apparently.
They don't get much bigger.
Makes sense he was at some IRA blokes funeral when he was at Celtic and got done for gambling.
>6 pallbearers @Evens.
Was there an Irish player in one of Baz's FM games?
It would be nice if they built some houses and nuclear plants, but compelling everybody to say that a man in a dress is a woman, and then dealing with everything that follows, does 'matter' as well.
that bolded bit is exaggerated either through malice or ignorance, in the same way nobody ever actually banned saying Christmas. don't be an idiot.
Exaggeration for effect lad. Don't be a fanny.

It's not even that exaggerated, well not the first bit anyway. "Women who menstruate" was a thing, no? I mean, come on.
I think it was people who menstruate.
Ah yeah, was "Women who menstruate" deemed transphobic?
It was probably viewed as worse than Hitler JK Rowling TERFism.
Meanwhile the Aussies aren't putting KC3 on their money [not that his mum featured that heavily on it].
Something about the whole 'first nations people' stuff really winds me up. I think it was probably being forced to study it as part of property law. Fuck Mabo, Milirrpum and the Torres Strait Islanders.
I find it somewhat baffling that we still have a monarch and hope the Boomers dying off will see an end to it. The Aussies et al buying into it is just inexplicable to me though.
Why would you not want to be a Republic? What do they get out of the monarchy? Atleast the Boomers here can trot out a lazy line about tourism. In Australia? No idea. Maybe it's just convenient to keep them around to blame the abuse of the Aboriginals on them.
The Aussie family friends we have (who are probably on the conservative end) absolutely love them, and British things in general. I think it's to do with a mindset of being located really far away from what they see as the glamour nations, and wanting to have something to do with them.
Many Aussies love it when famous Brits/yanks visit Australia as well.
There are obviously some tricky circles to square when it comes to casting off the shackles of empire. I mean, Australia, conceptually, is entirely a construct of the British [Empire] and, by extension, the British Monarchy.
the point is that while attempts at more "inclusive" language are often a bit embarrassing and clumsy, they're not actually DEMANDING it. exaggerating for effect or otherwise, the way the likes of yev and spikey talk about it makes it sound like this is some serious #thoughtcrime thing where the loony left woke police are going round and actually insisting that people use such language. the reality is that certain organisations and companies unilaterally decided to do so, then terfy people and the right wing press picked up on it and said it was a threat to women or something, and then you lot regurgitate it like it's actually true.
it's exactly the same as companies deciding to use the phrases that avoid the word "Christmas" and the daily mail claiming that you will indeed be locked up in prison for sayingyour EnglishChristmas.
Fascinating stuff mate, but we've moved onto discussing the politics of Monarchy and Empire now, so perhaps you could be a fanny about that instead.
nah clearly I haven't got sufficient levels of common sense to join in the TTH middle aged games gone discourse. I'll go and watch a load of feminazi slut gets owned by logic YouTube videos and read the Matt Forde book and hopefully I'll be able to keep up a bit better in future!
I'll meet you in the comment section.
"...misgendering? pronouns? the world has gone absolutely mad! I have so much respect for JK Rowling, a brilliant author, and now having to put up with all these vile blue haired trolls on twitter..."
"okay sir, but this is a festive market, do you want the toffee apple or not?"
"a WHAT market??"
There's your second episode right there yev.
There are certain certainties (great English jimbo, 10/10) that underpin people's sense of security, and one of them is that about 50% of people are men, the rest are women, and which one they are is obvious from appearance and/or name and/or signifiers like 'Mr'. You start unravelling basic stuff like that at a breakneck speed, and don't be surprised when people don't like it.
I mean, how long has it taken for people to get their heads around same sex relationships.
perfect.
I think the problem is - as ever - that both extremes are ridiculous, and I can assure you that I'm not a Ben Shapiro fan boy. I have no problem with "men in dresses" as Lewis puts it. I can roll with whatever name and pronouns they would like me to use. I don't really understand people that won't, it takes minimal effort. However, it's pointless pretending that there are twat's within the camp speaking absolute bollocks and upsetting people that would otherwise be allies. Balance, lad. Balance.
yes I do see where you're coming from, and I do acknowledge that you are indeed not a fascist. the problem as I see it is that too often the #discourse acts like this "balance" isn't clearly weighted against trans people. a group of people more discriminated against, marginalised and simply misunderstood than any other in the UK at the moment I'd guess.

there are indeed twats on both sides, but one side are people with actual power and influence (your Rowlings et al), with actual proof of nasty shit they've said, and plenty of space afforded to them to spread their nasty shit (usually involving long columns in national newspapers and interviews on national radio stations where they talk about being silenced, lol), whereas on the Trans Twat side, TTS, it's pretty much always "oh apparently you can't say pregnant woman anymore!", based on some slightly misremembered story in the daily mail about an admittedly cack-handed press release by a company that sells jam or something.
and as is almost always the case, these mentalists on the extreme end of the spectrum are exactly that, and it's just a bit lazy to act like well a few nutters with anime display pictures on twitter who call you evil cis scum if you don't put your pronouns in your bio justifies being all Lib Dem about it?
this kind of "balance" leads to shit like how frequently you see "gender-critical" people who self identify as being left-leaning who will happily team up with actual homophobic, misogynist right -wing politicians and parties, cus they "know what a woman is". if you consider yourself a leftist, and you look at how tiny the trans population is, how much abuse they receive, and then think of all the major issues effecting women and people generally in the world at the moment and think, yeah, all those other things are bad, but I think I'm going to have to vote conservative/campaign alongside a woman who voted against repealing section 28 and opposes abortion....well, you're an idiot.
Away from the culture wars, this one's a bit mysterious: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-64482201
How easy is it to just off yourself and not be found for days in those circumstances?
