« on: June 25, 2022, 04:41:48 PM »the empty seats are not a good look for a QFClare and Cork have no fans just hurling counties, and the Dubs are still in pub.
Too big of a gap for double headers now. There's a massive Derry crowd in there but spread out all over
Plenty of Derry wans in the pub earlier going by the photos!

Another first game of a double header infront huge swathes of empty seats. This game should have been in portlaoise or navan.

« on: June 25, 2022, 01:12:31 PM »The states will decide their policies going forward and even the most strict ones will have a clause in there for rape or incest I would think .
The zeal with which some protesters have about this issue is bordering on demonic also my body my choice except if it’s a new vaccine , total loons
That's extremely naive. Missouri has already outright banned abortion and is looking at contraception. A huge amount of rights derived from RvW's principle of privacy. The state has now awarded itself huge power over it's citizens. Everythimg from abortion to interracial marraige is up in the air.
Christ. You are proving his point.

« on: June 24, 2022, 01:08:36 PM »just had a look around the local centra this evening
2L jar of milk £1.67
Loaf of bread £1.35
Packed of 6 pancakes £1.52
Box of Cornflakes £4.25
10 pk of ham £2.55
500ml bottle of Coke £1.90
Can of Coke £1.10
Small can of red bull £1.75
Most of the packets of buns/cakes etc are near £4
Where is this going to end.
24 packs of Coke/Diet Coke are usually £7.50 in the likes of Asda and Tesco so it's madness to buy a single can unless you are absolutely stuck.
They're never refrigerated though and if you're just looking one for your lunch....

Its have the price and less and tastes the same. £2.10 for mustard in my local Hendersons, its £55p in Lidl and tastes better.You'd need a loan to shop in Mullan's Spar in Armagh. Mad prices.
I can't get my missus talked into shopping outside of Sainsburys or buying own brand as she has this very old fashioned "yellow pack" view that they can't possibly be as good despite me telling her that in a lot of instances it's the same stuff from the same factory!
Tell her to stop having notions!

« on: June 23, 2022, 05:17:28 PM »More shit on here about houses owned, I'm pretty sure if you want you can find it on members interests. I'm not here to defend Adams but he was mentioned, has been a published author so unless you can prove his home ownership is as a result of illegal gains it would be wise not to make unfounded claims. I know a number of MLA's from both DUP and SDLP who own more than one home. In fact on SDLP or perhaps now former SDLP Belfast councillor was on radio quite a bit a few years back as a Landlord of HMO's.
He owned half the Holylands at one stage.

Wasn't the industrial wage policy openly scrapped a few years ago as too many professionals were leaving the party?

« on: June 22, 2022, 09:31:45 PM »Indeed. Inflation was sorted out years ago. The current inflation is a one-off because the world economy's adapting to the pandemic coming and going. It's a flash in the pan that has damn all to do with wage increases. Working people moving from barely-getting-by to actually-getting-by is not going to drive any excessive demand, certainly not enough to trigger an inflationary spiral.
Inflation was nearly 10% last month and its getting worse. What planet are you living on?

« on: June 22, 2022, 05:38:09 PM »The line that payrises will cause more inflation is a cracker too.
There was and is going to be a period of civil unrest with the way the cost of living is going vs wages. Wait until winter and people need to pay for heating too and with petrol fast approaching 2 pound sterling a litre plus.
They do.
How?
We're talking about people here on the breadline, not increasing someones already large disposable income.
A ticket collector getting 33k is not on the breadline ffs.
