Said it before but i feel the need to say it again - that f**ker in the wheelchair in Eastenders

I think he's cool. For too long, disabled people on television have be portrayed as nice people, that sit in the background doing nothing. This fella is a bit of a dick and isn't meant to be all that nice.

What you mean is 'he is a horny bugger like me'  ;D

People who write text messages with key 'beep' sounds on...
Especially the ones where the beeps are all different like a touch tone phone and they don't use predictive text so it takes them 20 minutes to say 'hi'.

People who end every sentence with 'hi'.

Or 'boy' for that matter.

The 4 dipshits that were throwing rubbish out of their car driving through picturesque Knockmore and Pontoon today and then flicking cigs into to the bogs near Ross. Then they overtook like lunatics at Claddagh Woods, the fannypacks  >:(  >:(  >:(

Catch the high ball

Hanging the clothes on the line, but its that windy you have to use about 20 pegs for every item.

Then you are siting inside wondering whether the "20 peg theory" has failed and your clothes are blowing halfway around the country and have to keep looking out the window every feckin 5 minutes.

The green party and everything about them, also the turf cutting ban in raised bogs in the west of Ireland, again the small man getting screwed, (BNM valuation of bog 235k p/a, Govt. 3000 p/a) while Bord na Mona can cut away hundered of acres of bog some of it raised every year without any EU directives affecting them.The west of Ireland is a live vibrant area, not to be turned into some preservation reserve by D4 heads and their ilk. Rural people understand their environment and its limitations and have managed it quite successfully for generations, If the D4 tree huggers want to have an imput in to the west, move down here and be a part of the area, not just issuing dictats to the "stupid country pumpkins/ peasants" who they think know no better. No more, thanks.

I think Bord na Mona has an obligation to replant those bogs it cuts away, or a percentage of them. The individual could not be relied upon to do that.

Having said that, I feel the small man cutting and saving his own turf is a way of life and those apes in the Green Party should feck their noses out of it. Half of them hoors never saw a sod of turf in their life anyway.

it's not just the turf cutting or the deer hunting debate that bugs me, there are families on the bread line all over the country and the government are now nearly 2 weeks talking about dog breeding, deer hunting and turf cutting. The green's represent an upper class, D4, Sandymount clique, who have shit all to worry about except these issues. Country people have a love and respect for the countryside around them (exceptions noted) and it is regular working of the land that keeps it alive, look at neglected fields in the countryside and see what happens to them. I know this turfcutting is an EU directive (fines. penalties etc.), however Gormlet is quite happy to ignore the landfill directive and pay the millions in fines to avoid the incinerator in poolbeg blocking the sky line across the bay from his house and his constituents. Double standards all day long. As regards BNM planting the bog, these bogs will be planted with fir trees and the like which cause untold damage to local waterways due to soil erosion and acidic run offs from the trees, also they can really take over an area/ community when they mature. Come to mayo and see it first hand.

Did anyone else see the Mayor of Roscommon Town Council & Councilor for the Castlerea area of Roscommon County Council Luke 'Ming the Merciless' Flanagan on a TV. debate re cutting of bogs last night. I was surprised that he was on the pro-bog cutting side and seemed very informed and really argued his side very well. While I am very much against his legalisation of Cannabis stance, I am very much in agreement with him on this. I laughed when he pointed out that the Greens asked him twice to run for them but he declined (cannot remember exactly what he said but it was very funny and really stuck the boot into the Green Party).

I agree Gaeilgoir, I hate all those fir tree forests, there should be at least a 50-50 native tree balance and of the natives at least 50% of them should be long grow trees that take 150 years + to mature.
