Any tips for Day 2? I was told that Solness at 10/1 in the Queen Mother was worth a look.

Can Zelensky make a deal about the natural resources and give a chunk to the Americans...then in a few years time, with Trump gone, Ukraine renege on the deal and kick out the Americans?
America reneged on the Budapest agreement about protecting Ukraine in return for handing over nukes.

Quote from: Snapchap on January 22, 2025, 03:13:34 PMI see 'Blue' Hugh O'Connell, the biggest FG cheerleader in Irish media for the last number of years, has, in news which will come as a surprise to nobody who has been paying attention to how the things work in such circles, gone and landed himself a job as Press Secretary for Simon Harris.

One big cosy cartel.
If Sinn Fein got into power, they'd be hiring Aoife Moore and half the staff of An Phoblacht.
There's no big mystery to it.

Rule 42 looks like a token rule at this point.
So long as someone comes waving money, they'll let them in.

Quote from: Don Cockburn on January 21, 2025, 12:13:52 PMIs this not in breach of Rule 42?

First post "Derry GAA were given permission at Saturday's Central Council"
Rule 42 is now meaningless when it can be overridden so easily.

It's not just celebs who are affected, poor people are being hit too.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has lost 2 of her 3 mansions in wildfires.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on January 13, 2025, 08:30:34 PMWhitey, we're you not one of these lads who didn't believe in the flu or strains of it?

No

I get the flu shot every year (and even got it this year)

Just because I'm somewhat conservative on some issues, doesn't mean I believe in every tin hat conspiracy going around.
Or a Zionist, according to some geniuses here...

Quote from: Rossfan on January 13, 2025, 05:49:47 PMBe OK if he backed Saudi Arabia, Bahrain etc?
It's not his job to back anyone.
His problem is that he likes anyone who is anti-American or anti-West.

If Saudi and Bahrain declared a jihad against the Great Satan, he'd be drooling over them.

Quote from: Rossfan on January 13, 2025, 05:39:17 PMA few useful eejits or Israelibots obviously got their orders.

The man has more dignity in his little finger than all the War criminal murderers and their supporters put together.
Gript.... enough said.
Integrity, like his backing of despotic regimes in Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.

Quote from: Don Cockburn on January 13, 2025, 04:43:41 PMInternationally many people think that the "President" of Ireland is a position of power and the views expressed are those of someone with authority, and reflect our national policy.
That's why what he says can cause real damage.

In reality, he's a senile hobbit in a luxurious retirement home, living off the taxpayers all his life.

Similar rhetoric to that used on him by Zionists. He called those genocidal maniacs out. A great President.

Thinking Michael D is a total idiot and a disgraceful president doesn't amount to Zionism.
