What? What is this? What buisness is it of your to ask my private details? What did you eat for breakfast? What underwear have you on now? How dare you.

Hardy. How do you know he was pretneding to drown her? How do you know it wasnt just a dunking you would get in school? The journalist makes some link between this and the 'waterboarding' idea. If the father was a joiner or a baker, they wouldnt have made that link .

I think you are wrong but maybe thats my opinion. I work in an office with 4 gays out of 25 men. Its not even talked about and on nights out everyone is happy, no one gets uncomfortable or does anyone try to push their sexuality on others. Things are slowly changing/. I know that in rural parts of Ulster old people would almost treat you like a leper. But these people are dying.

I think that this is a wee bit overboard, the article and the police. It says "dunked the girl's head in a sink full of water for not reciting the alphabet". But in many families there are mad parents who punish children for not doing the correct thing or not learning. This is a wee but too PC I think.

I think the smoking ban has to be revoked. I think that smokers are being ostrichised whereas drinkers or people who chew chewing gum are not even batted an eyelid at. Drink driving kills. Smoke driving doesn't. Drinking ruins families and wives. Smoking doesnt.

I am glad that a lot of people agree with me, and I hope that some day soon gay people will be looked at as just normal people, like as if they have made a choice in life about hairstyle or religion. Perhaps this generation will be the ones who change perceptions and feed that to their children too.

This whole sorry and sordid episode is just a mirror of the morals of society now. I will guess that he will become a supercelebrity before long because of this. Tiger Woods, John Terry, love rats are a career move to make your imprint on history. Soon having affairs and being immoral will be a virtue or if not then expected like normal human behaviour. Maybe it is. Is John Terry religious?

For a country the prides itself on being friendly and promotes itself to the world as the best people in the world, we do have a dark underbelly of racism and homophobia. I don't know the reasoning behind. Only thing I can think of, is with regards to racism is that we are only experiencing immigration for the first time as a nation in the last 10 years. As for homophobia, it's appears to me to be an unfortunate hangup of being a religious country (supposedly).

Both very sad indeed.

That is exactly what I think.

I find Ireland quite tolerable when the weather is nice.

Just to get this out of the way, because someone is going to say it soon:

O'Neill, this is one of your best creations.

Unfortunately there are those who will never see the serious side of what this is about.

Do people think Ireland is less tolerable towards homosexuals or people of non-white race than other countries or is it the same everywhere?

I despair sometimes at the things i hear from the public and that includes the elderly and politicians towards these normal groups.

Can't remember which one came first. Bought these around 1989:

Patsy Cline Showcase - Patsy Cline
What's New Pussycat - Cliff Richard

Being caught just glancing into a sex shop

Does anyone know what size the sandwiches are and what is in them. This could make a difference?

It means that when it comes to the likes of Earth, there are many people speaking many different languages and thats a good thing.

SO my favourite show ever.
