Northern Ireland #4 Craic, conflict and current affairs

[Wee Nora]

When you think about it....where else would you have got it like?
The news bringing the worst atrocities, awful bleak news, murders, bombs, desperate stuff....
And they round it off with Frank Mitchell and his weather watchers followed by a wee camp man making innuendo about Liz Mcdonald.
This wee place

Julian was bloody brilliant. I still use his one liner “nose like a cooker hood” to this day (I’m looking at you Arlene) Remember the time he brought out the glitzy boke bucket for the episode where Deirdre Barlow got it on with Dev? Gold!

And they call it the rip off Republic? That’s nothing compared to what we’re shelling out food through the roof, diesel, bloody everything

We're mortgage free now or i'd be crying if i'd that on top of everything else . I don't know how those on benefits are managing it must be a quare chuck out of their money especially if you've got a few kids . I was asking my son what schoolbag he wants ,couldn't believe the price of them £60

 

[monga]

That's given me a great laugh tonight

Take a look at the thread he’s getting crucified by the English and Irish both

Schools getting a kick back from uniform suppliers too. Our primary school made a song and dance over plain polo shirts with no logo. People wanted to buy a pack of 3 for £8 rather than £16 for one.
It makes no sense. Uniform thing has been going on since I was at school wearing kickers which were not allowed.

Always heard Charles was petulant and impatient.

It’s the dissidents run the bog bonfire you’ll even find a shinner or two in there View attachment 1502166View attachment 1502167

Is Jamie getting over excited for the wrong union View attachment 1502181

Theres a Downing Street thread on here (don’t even ask) and I just read a post that has suggested liz is a ‘top shagger’ and I can’t stop laughing. She would have Bryson for breakfast and I’m not even a fan of hers as she seems a bit incompetent

 

[Wee Nora]

Ffs as if it’s the fault of those children that his family shunned him. I hope they throw away the key

 

[Mrs Fluff]

Bryson is giving out yards about that on Twiiter!

@Justherefortittle I always thought they were from Lurgan. I feel duped.

You're not the only one was impressed that lurgan had such a great irish language community

i remember making that trip on a bus with my granny a few times that the holy joes in the parish run - rosary’s on repeat the whole way there.
For me best thing was stopping in Bundoran on the way down and the Sligo park hotel for dinner on the way back

The shops were class though. I'd quite like to visit again, I did lough derg once and it wasn't any craic, hell would be apt.
Heard older people on the radio talking about the predictions for children this coming autumn/winter. Its ridiculous apparently, people need to get a grip, how did they survive? Too many gadgets not enough outdoor play or exercise, nobody died back then you see, nobody was cold or hungry, mammies baked bread, no central heating, 6 in a bed with coats for blankets. The Lord is all anyone needs.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

I think Bryson is really dangerous. He has obviously built up a following in very working class communities who feel/are disenfranchised but they aren’t seeing that nationalists/catholics aren’t the problem and the issue is the failings of the Stormont executive and uk government which are causing the issues. It suits the DUP fine for him to carry on like this as it keeps their gravy train going

 

[Wee Nora]

Re Jamie imagine people didn’t respond to his




phone freezing and tech skills not great*

My point is that we all give off about Jamie and his inflammatory tweets keep him ‘relevant’. It would be interesting to see what would happen if ppl ignored his tweets?? No response… no audience

I see his tweets multiple times a day and do ignore them, I don’t interact with him. I know I mention him on here but IMO it doesn’t really matter how much ordinary people ignore him when our Deputy FM is writing the foreword of his latest book and Stephen Nolan has him on to stir tension at every opportunity. That’s what gives him a profile and a platform to project his hatred from, not Joe Bloggs.

How much money would be made from those tops anyway? Hardly a fortune once the manufacturer take their cut. £30 is standard enough. I’ll say one thing about those football tops, at the risk of sounding 105 years old, the quality is exceptional which is a rarity these days, you couldn’t wash them out if you tried lol.
Re the drama on the Facebook page, I’d shut it down now if I were them. If you’re going to have people posting “I don’t feel comfortable with that jersey” or “where’s the money going” then it stops being about the child and turns into a circus.

 

[Wee Nora]

I'm trying to listen to the radio in working struggling to listen to all these power ballads and sad songs. Bring back usual programming pls!

The TV coverage is extremely repetitive, Operation Netflix it is

 

[BigMavis]

No ? What is it?

Adult Baby Diaper Lover. Horrible horrible stuff.
Chelsea Wright has a thread here and she was obsessed with it.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

I can’t stand when our people arse kiss like this.

 

[Wee Nora]

I'm living for it, I love the pomp.

I had to laugh at all the articles saying that in the event of the Queen’s death the PM would receive a coded phonecall declaring that “London Bridge has fallen”. Not much of a code if the whole country knows what it means but I still enjoy the dramatics

 

[Wee Nora]

Anyone else think we’re on the brink of WWlll seems to be a funny atmosphere, like somethings going to happen

Terrified of China and their capabilities tbh. Seen the videos of their military drills on Instagram the other day, scary stuff.

On a lighter note this tickled me no end

 

[Wee Nora]

The guy facing me busted in and got the locks changed while they were at work , left their stuff outside , there was FA they could do they wrecked his property , the police said they could be charged with criminal damage and tresspass.

I don’t understand people, when we rented I kept it immaculate and was never late with rent once no matter how tight things were the rent got paid first and we made the rest stretch. I kept our rental better than my own house now even though our landlord was a useless prick lol usually you look after other people’s things better than your own, or at least you should.

Just witnessed 2 Psni with some wee woman who may have been tipsy and they were saying “we’re not a taxi service Sandra”
I get the impression she might have called them for a lift home
Apparently a 30 minute wait for an actual taxi!

I kind of think they could have taken her but then I suppose the service gets abused if you set a precedent!

Someone has been arrested in that Lincolnshire case, a 22 year old man. I can’t stop thinking about her wee sister she was playing with. It must be incredibly traumatic for her.
