There was a thing on the radio the other week about a boy in east Belfast who attacked someone with a vodka bottle because they were a foreigner. It then proceeded to say the boy had 129 previous convictions. 129.. how do you rehabilitate people like that.

Used to see that all the time in the papers. Remember a girl from Strabane with 2 or 3 hundred. Surely there should be a threshold of say X number of convictions means Y years in jail. Multiple offenders should be getting harsher sentences.

Driving a car illegally is a sure way to wrack up the conviction numbers: no license, no insurance, speeding, defective tyres, driving when banned.  There's 5 separate convictions.

If the cops know you are into drugs/crime, then there is more chance they stop you when driving. The cycle continues of driving offences for serial offenders as they know it kinda means nothing in the overall scheme of their rap sheet. 

Exactly. If the number of offences actually count then it might act as a deterrent or put the culprits away.

The Rick spinoff coming soon.

Season 2 of Tourist on coming in January.

Late to the party but finished The Walking Dead few weeks ago...

Started like a B movie and turned into a slick pacy gory show...

Few blanks in last couple of seasons but still a few loose ends to tie up

Started fear of walking dead as a in between fix, until the other spin offs come on

I can't give up on a show once I start. Walking Dead was crap for a long time. Fear worse again. The Negan one was crap, but Darryl one was good.

Killers of the Flower Moon pretty average. Actually considering its length I would say poor enough.

I thought they all merged.

I grew up in Strabane and live in Lurgan now. Places are polar opposites when it comes to murder and the like.

Strabane, Derry and Letterkenny were like the wild west on weekends. Nothing bad weapon wise, just loads of fights constantly. I actually noticed Lurgan and the like as being quieter on that front, rarely saw fights or rows.

The Men Who Stare at Goats - pure dung.

What is alleged to have happened? Been some murders in the area over the past 10 to 15 years. Owen Creaney, Steven Carrol PSNI, Laura Marshall, Natalie McNally, Hugh McGeough and wife, Shane Whitla, Malcolm McKeown, David Neill, Marcel Seeley, Andrew Lorimer, Michael McGlennon, Anita Downey, Nathan Gibson and others I've probably missed. Go back 20 years on and you start adding the mad number of trouble related killings into it, including Martin O'Hagan and Rosemary Nelson.

I saw an article on Damien Casey at the weekend. What actually happened him as I don't remember it being disclosed at the time.

What happened to him?

People get the wool pulled over their eyes regarding inflation. If it steadies out, there isn't really going to be any deflation back to the prices of 2 years ago. Has coal went back to normal yet?

Joe Ward looks the best out there currently.

Premature stoppage but Conlan seems to have no punch resistance anymore.

Knockdowns are hard to achieve hence the reward score wise. Doesn't matter how heavy the punch or fall was. I remember Yarde, Dubois and Brook both getting knocked out with jabs too.
