Enda Kenny telling us which way to vote....helps me make up my mind for sure..
But he's saying the same thing as Gerry.

What's your point?
My point is that deciding on how you'll vote based on anything other than the merits of the proposal seems a bit silly.

Go on, explain what the comment about Gerry (Adams I presume) meant.

That is your perception, again you are going out of your way to be offended.

Oh I am not offended.

When someone throws out a schoolboy insult, it doesn't offend me. but I still recognise it for what it is.

You can shout that all those on this board voting YES are Gay all you want. It will bother no one. But will still be seen for exactly what it was.

You will show evidence of where I said this or you apologise and shut up.

If I say yes will you elaborate? I'd just like you to explain why you'd write such a thing.

Bookies have the over/under at 59.5 and I reckon the under is a nap. Think Yes will win but it will be tight.

It seems to me that the vast majority of people will fall in between the two camps, and I think a significant number who would vote yes if it came down to it, won't bother to vote because they don't care enough about it. The conservative camp is still probably bigger than the gay camp too. Although much less craic I'd say.

So where is your evidence, oh that's right just make ridiculous statements and don't back them up, the YES camp is lucky to have you with them - please don't reply to me again unless you are posting evidence or apologising,

Is it? I checked with a guy yesterday and he said it was 59.5. Crap - meant to do it last night. No money on.

Couple of guys I know went big on it when it was out at 60.5 and took a shot at an overall no at big enough odds. They're in guaranteed win territory now I think.

macdanger2

As in, over / under 56.5% for a Yes vote??

For me, that'd be a banker for over - I'd expect it to come in at between 60 & 65.
