Post by: The Real Laoislad on November 19, 2007, 05:54:25 PM
Not so much gear grinders but more things that you see that just leaves ya thinking to yourself did i really just see that happening...

I was in the local takeaway last night as it was my turn to cook  ;)..
One of the wemen behind the counter was washing the tiles on the wall,It was bad enough that there was gushes of soapy water drowning most of the sockets on the wall but she then preceded to wash the sockets with a sponge full of fairy liquid and water....I honestly couldn't believe what i was seeing  :o

Anyways it gave me the idea to start this thread as im sure we all see things everyday that leave ya gobsmacked.....

comments made by actual american girl in conversation in work:

"I love it when a guy tells me I'm really intelligent, that is the ultimate compliment" (this girl has the mental capacity of a breeze block by the way)

Saturday night there, I was at a hooley when a few people from work walked in including one of the managers, about an hour later I see him groping the breasts of one of the girls in full view of the rest of the staff, he was working on the outside of the clothes. I was rightly on and anyway I told him to stop, he feckin kept going and I walked out.
I am meeting him in an hour to talk to him about it, he has no idea this conversation is going to take place but that was my latest what the fcuk moment.

I am supposed to sack him on the spot, this girl reports to him and everybody seen me there at the time and they even have video of it on their cellphones. If I say nothing and it gets out I will be sacked as well, the hoor has put in me in a bad spot. >:(

Jesus I wouldnt envy either of you, but you certainly dont let yourself get the sack for someone elses mistakes.

Yesterday at mass, this woman walked up to do the readings (she later gave out communion as well). Id say she was well into her 60s, if not touching 70. Anyways, shes wearing a bright red cocktail dress, cleavage on full display with this dress clinging (and I mean clinging) to her in all the right (ultimately wrong) places. Except on her ass, where it was clear as day she had a good old thick thong (try saying that couple of times quickly) wedged up her hind end. Varicose veins, thongs, little red cocktail dresses and cleavage. Theres only one of those thats right on a 70 year old. At mass. Reading the letters of St Paul to the lesbians and giving out communion.
The collective whispers as she walked up the aisle could have been heard a block away. What was I thinking?

I have the aul Irish mentally drilled into me and that is  to say nothing. The only reason I am contemplating saying anything is that the staff have the whole thing on video with me telling the stupid fcuker to quit it. I dont know if I can take a chance and say nothing but if I dont he loses his livelyhood. I also have an obligation to my family and I am completely torn. Feck his stomach being in knots, mine are as well and I never get nervous about anything except Armagh matches.  :-[

Good luck. think he was a stupid ballox in the first place, drink or no drink, he is a manager and should have known better. If she brings a sexual harassment case against him and you are implicated and  have done nothing, especially if you should have, your fucked as well.

Think of yourself first and foremost

Lay it on the line to him and hope he does the decent thing and sorts it out one way or the other.

You need to get her involved as well and see what she thought of the whole situation. Document everything and report to your superior as he/she needs to be involved also. You need to follow your company guideline on sexual harassment if they have one if they don't they need one. If you do not handle it correctly you will lose all respect from the other other employees. Tough situation.

rewind.

1. It wasn't a work do, so nothing to do with work.

2. And what if he was groping her, sure their adults.

3. Its Feck all to do with everyone else

4. Sure, she never complained

Post by: stew on November 19, 2007, 09:09:23 PM
If I report it he is gone, she is not going to report him at all, that I know but since she reports to him and he reports to me and the rest of the staff saw me tell him to cut it out and have it on video I dont know what else I can do. I am meeting him in a half hour and I still don't know what to do. I know what I should do but doing it is hard.

I have to document it and have the conversation at the every least but if I dont go whole hog and call our HR department I am in as much trouble as he is.

bastard of it is not one of the hoors had ever been in there before and I have pulled out of the Christms party, I am not going to associate with this crowd out of work ever again, I never invited them in the first place.

You will find that a lot of places see staff Christmas functions as a extention or work and therefore that same rules apply, thats one of the reasons that I never go to them, you can so easily leave yourself open to all sorts of accusations.

Its the same as our place a work do is a extension of work so the same rules apply, but this does not seem to be a work do, or maybe i am reading it wrong

I am in America lads, not in Armagh.
Company policy states that you are not allowed to fraternise with your staff members.
It was not a work do at all, they knew where I was going and who was playing so eight of them dropped in. The fact that it was not a work do however doesnt change the fact that there is video out there and the company wont give two shites where it happened only that it did happen. She reports directly to him and it gets  worse but I dont even want to get into that as I didnt see it.

I have never been very good at looking after number one, I usually end up getting screwed out of money like the time that kn**ker from tyrone took me for money after I sent him PGA gear whenit was held in wisconsin. I never learn. :-[

The unbelievable happened, he denied doing it, I was flabbergasted and told him that he did in fact do what i claimed, he got very agitated and sais that i didnt respect him professionally and that concerned him. I told him that one of us is a liar and it is not me. he told me to go ahead and push the issue and that he ws going to deny everything and that no one but me saw anything.

That was an interesting answer as he just let me know that he had already priimed those that were there and so now it is on. I am going to interview each and every one of the staff that was there and from there I am going to drop the hammer on the ballix!!!!!

he also said that by the end of the night I hadf six pints of guinness in me and that my perception was impaired, I told him i had eight pints of guinness and that he was so feckin loaded he couldnt count to eight. It is game on now. I am pissed off and if he wants to get into a pishing contest there is only going to be one winner and it aint him.

Stew, dont you have a HR department there? You could have a word with them, off record, without naming names, to get their advice. If you take their advice then it keeps you in the clear.

Unless of course it was the HR manager.

Why didnt the lady complain more - couldnt she have him for sexual harrassment?

Wisconsin

You cant have a word off the record with HR over here, if you bring it up they act and you better have your ducks in a row. I have sacked 24 people in my time here and even though I am rightly up I cant make that move without their approval unless some stupid fecker grabs a woman by the funbags in plain sight of everyone.

America is a different animal to home lads. This girl gets on very well with both of us, I have helped her career along and I brought both of them into the company, he was a mate of mine for 5 years before he started and we played in a golf league together.

That said he is banking on the fact that the staff will lie for him at this point and that is a very bad move. he has basically called me a liar and I know I can prove I am right and I dont know what he was thinking when he told me that I didnt see what I know I saw and I now have the documentation to prove it.The guy is popular around the office, we both are but ninety nine times out of a hundred people will do the right thing and both people we interviewed tonight said that they didnt want to get anyone in trouble but that I was right to say what I saw because they did too, one even said they were watching to see if I would sweep it under the carpet. I was never going to do that, I would have had the conversation with him but now it is going to HR unfortunately.

Its obviously a bad situation, but you owe it to yourself and your family to do the right thing.

Brutal. Sometimes when a mans back is to the wall, especially when hes married with kids, he will deny everything. Its shameful, but it must be human nature, because Ive seen it happen time and time again.

Stew, Ive sacked one person in my life, and it was a meaningless part time job - still feel awful about it. How can you have sacked 24 and be so bothered about this one? The guy was obviously in the wrong to begin with, and instead of asking for leniancy, hes called you a liar. In the different animal that is america, I guess id have to easily let him go. Im like yourself in giving people the benefit of the doubt, but if someone tries to fcuk me, its them that had better have their ducks in a row.

BTW, how did you ever get caught buying something for a tyrone man? Did you float down the blackwater in a bubble? ;) I tell you what, If I ever want something from wisconsin, Ill pay you double, and upfront. Just to restore the good name of Tir Eoighan.

Not a big fan of confrontation so I can understand you apprehension, but you didnt bring this on yourself. You cant punish yourself for someone elses sins. Have a drink and get some rest. Youve done/are doing the right thing.

I am bothered about most of them, some people made silly mistakes that did them in and some were cnuts that deserved, the latter never troubled me, the good people do but again it was their fault and it comes with the job. I have 124 employees to worry about. As I said earlier me and yer man got on well, he has a family and I feel for all of them there as i know them personally but he basically called me a liar and I am going to hammer him and indeed already have. when i get back from Holidays he will be gone, some people will be angry but they all know that I did what I had to do.

People who get sacked - generally deserve it. There are plenty of laws in place to protect people from getting the boot for no reason. That's how I rationalise it when someone gets the flick on my team

That true Stephenite but it is tough taking away someones means of making a living. This man I am dealing with is going to ask for proof and he will still deny it when I show him the video, I have it captured on my phone now and it has been forwarded on to those who will give me the green light to clip him. I have no sympathy for him after he jobbed me for no reason. he is fecked and he doesnt even know it yet. I think he was gambling on the staff not giving him up but they did. I am still in the feckin office working on this and I am an hour from home and have a flight out early in the morning but I will have all my ducks in a row before I leave.

a glass of wine is on the cards and then some sleep. tomorrow will be a better day. ;D

'Tis tough - but considering he tired to deny it in the face of overwhelming proof, well I'd find it hard to have sympathy for him. If, when confronted with it, he admitted it blamed it on the booze, apologised to everyone then I'd do everything I could to save his ass (official warning etc.) but he cooked his own goose - your hands were obviously tied.

I gave him an opportunity to retract what he had said and he refused, I also told him that I considered it an insult that he would try to say I was lying, to this he merely said that it was just my perception that was wrong and that maybe someone else did it but I thought it was him. I told him that I saw what I saw and that again he was insulting me and that he should admit to the wrongdoing, he didnt have it in him and so i asked him to leave and told him what i was going to do, at this point he said good luck getting the video evidence and he walked out.

I interviewed some of those that were there and one girl offered me the video I needed and said that she thought it was a disgrace and that she expected more of her leader and that I was right to be investigating the thing. Case closed.

Usually in our place people are given every opp to prove they can do the work and the benefit of the doubt even if they can't, takes a lot to actually get fired. If that guy had done that in our company under ny law, he would be fired, sued and up on charges...

I can't see that you have a leg to stand on if he denies it, there are no witnesses and, most important of all, SHE denies it or is unwilling to complain. In fact, I'd venture that if it's a social gathering and not what could be considered a company occasion it's none of your business, technically, and indeed you've gone above and beyond what might be expected of a disinterested bystander (which is what I'd class you as, in this situation), by doing the decent thing and trying to intervene. But if the woman is not bothered ...

I'd support the suggestion that you look for guidance from HR as to whether you have a role at all in this case. This is their department. "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer from them. If they say "yes", then surely they will brief you on the procedure to follow. If they say "no", then you can't go any further and if you do, yer man will have you for harassment.

But I'm no expert in these things and nothing about American laws in this field would surprise me.

stew,
you have to allow HR to make the ruling on this.
To preserve your own career and maintan your professionalism , you had to follow this up once it was seen.
The guy signed his own resignation the moment he started fondling the woman.
that he has a wife and kids just adds to his stupidity.
You cannot legislate for people and their actions sometimes.
Rules are rules and the employees dont have a leg to stand on in the US.
As you have already found out, one of the witnesses was unhappy with his inappropriate behaviour.
This would only fester and would ultimately have lead to problems for yourself later on.
By nipping this problem in the bud now, your employees see you wil deal with any indiscretions immediately.

Sad that he was a friend and also she was a liked employee, but work is work. If you ignored this , you are party to the crime and also not doing the job you are paid for.
It obv isnt easy, but you have done the right thing by addressing it and handing it over to HR to make the call.

Similar situation happened just over a year ago here, my wife witnessed her boss (the GM) 'behaving inappropriately' with one of her staff. It got messy. She was vindicated , but eventually a few months later left. He got a sever dressing down and was effectively drummed out of his position in a company re-org.
married man with 4 kids. If I see him out and get a chance, I'll still make him sorry for upsetting the missus.

You just have to deal with these situations in aprofessional manner .You did. Its obv hard though. I've only ever had to sack one. The others I made leave by taking themout of their comfort zones and having them work!

Post by: stew on November 20, 2007, 02:30:05 PM
My flight is delayed so here is the conclusion.

First off I have fired 24 people in eight years for reasons such as non performance, sexual harassment and one clown was smoking blow on his lunch hour. I know the inner workings of HR very well and know what I am supposed to do but I have learned that if you were to follow the letter of the law every time you would have nobody left to lead.

I spoke with the girl involved, I know her very well indeed, she is a young woman I worked with twelve years ago when I got to the states and she has followed me into three different companies, she knows my wife and kids very well and has asked me to walk her down the aisle next year when she gets married.

I spoke with her this morning and told her the implications of her decisions, I told her that i have ben accused of lying by my sales manager, her friend Scott and that she knows I wasnt lying. I also told her that in essence she has decided to back him even though she knows he is in the wrong and that she is calling me a liar by her refusal to do the right thing and that she is now as guilty in my eyes as he is and that I have contacted HR and that there is an investigation starting this morning.

I am very disappointed in her, she knows this and she told me that she doesnt want to have to choose sides which is why she sat on the fence, I  told her that she made me out to be a liar, that she warned Scott that this was coming and that if nothing else she would be leaving my region because her position with me is untenable and I asked her to resign, she refused, cried and I toldher that if she was allowed to stay with the organization she would need t transfer out of my region which she is willing to do.

At this point she broke down, cried and apologized profusely and said she didnt think of the situation in the way i did and that she knows he did wrong, I went back to the fact that she backed him and the decision stood and gave her until December15th to get out of my area, she is willing to move to Illinois apparently.

I am done with both of them, I will e made to look like the bad guy and i cant talk about why this all happened but the staff will know as soon as the decision to clip himgoes down because he groped the fcuk out of a girl that reports directly to him, I know thi is out of character for both of them but fcuk them both, I am many things but a liar I am not.

So here I sit, about to feck off for twelve days while this goes down, I would rather be in the middle of it to make sure that it gets done right but I am sure my cell will be red hot and I will get the result i want. As i typed this up she sent me a text apologizing up and down and wants me to reconsider, there is not a chance in hell, I am bitter about this and I am going to nail the hoors arse to the floor.

I  just can't believe that the "injured" party in this, ie the woman who was groped, is being punished so harshly.  

Stew, you're making this all about you when the original reason for your complaint was a perceived slight on her.  You've just told someone to put themselves in your shoes - how about you try putting yourself in her shoes - she's obviously good friends with him as well, she must not have been overly offended at his actions and understandably probably thinks that it's up to her whether it goes any further or not.

If you worked for our firm, I reckon you'd have a problem if she decided to report you for workplace bullying.  Though I get that you're in the US and I don't understand how strict things are over there.  But you've completely personalised it.  And if I were her, I would refuse to move.  Maybe you've the power to fire her over this or send her to work elsewhere - I think it's poor form.

You are bang on Stew. Very unfortunate situation, like yourself I'd be sick over it, but the lad wrote his own death warrant when he didn't front up. She followed him over the cliff by backing him. Basically they were not to be trusted anymore. If you soft soaped it, apart from putting your own job in danger, you would lose all credibility with the rest of your team.

As an aside I wonder was there more going on between then than just what you seen? Seems unusual the girl would just go along with the fondling etc.

Rois, I see your point, and my first thought when Stew posted the conclusion was, "man that sounds a bit harsh on the girl". The reality is that he did something to protect her in the first instance, then furthermore to protect her in her job. Somewhere down the line he also had to accord to "man mind yourself" (the first commandment). So after re reading and thinking about all of this, I think that he gave both of them plenty of opportunity to take the right line. It appears that this is no longer about misconduct from the guy in question. Now the new issue is that they have both implicated stew as a liar, within his own workplace - not outside. For that reason the gloves need to come off, and both their positions as his subordinates are now untenable.

Maybe there is something more going on, by the sounds of it the fella and the girl are mates ( or not bu they have worked together for years) so it would be a fair assumption to say it was out of character for him. If she see it like that and he has apologised to her ( do we know this?) then it is very harsh on the girl. I know HR is very difficult and can be impossible to find balance but i dont agree at all with the treatment of the girl. One thing im not clear about , and im not sure of its relevance , did you tell the girl that you would be calling the groper into the the office and potentially firing him?

Stew, you're making this all about you when the original reason for your complaint was a perceived slight on her.  You've just told someone to put themselves in your shoes - how about you try putting yourself in her shoes - she's obviously good friends with him as well, she must not have been overly offended at his actions and understandably probably thinks that it's up to her whether it goes any further or not.

If you worked for our firm, I reckon you'd have a problem if she decided to report you for workplace bullying.  Though I get that you're in the US and I don't understand how strict things are over there.  But you've completely personalised it.  And if I were her, I would refuse to move.  Maybe you've the power to fire her over this or send her to work elsewhere - I think it's poor form.


I did personalise it Rois. if she refuses to move HR will terminate her not me, I cannot do that but based on the breach of trust we can no longer work together and so somebody has to move on or one persons gets to leave. You cannot have working environments were the associates are free to lie and were the leaders are branded liars when they are guilty so forgive me for perosnalizing it. I have helped these two out like you wouldnt believe in the past, i have never put a foot wrong with either of them and the conspired to me me out a liar, given the fact we were all friends prior to them working here and my history of supporting out I did take it personally and i have I suppose made it to some extent about me.

I also have an obligation to act, I have video evidence of the ocourance on my phone and I have a formal complaint by not one lady who was there but two and I am damn well sure that she and i never work together again, it is personal because they attacked my character and the staff know it and by doing so made my job a lot harder when in fact I  was blameless.

I am not now nor have I ever been a bully but i am pissed of to no end and I am disgusted by the young woman involved, i thought for sure she would do the right thing but she didnt and so she will move on and so will i. If I was a bully she would be gone right about now as I do get asked what i want to do and then have to give a reason why, if HR find that valid that is what they do. She made a mistake and will have to move out of my area in order to stay with the company, I think that is fair as I didnt want to see her or anyone gone for that matter but given her actions she had to move on.

I am 100% sure that nothing was going on between these . She thinks the world of both of us and made a decision that could have hurt me, she didnt realize that at the time but it is what it is. This young woman has never let anything like this happen before and i am sure nobody will ever do it to her again but I know nothing is going on between them.

Right. I am done with this whole thing on here. Skull. I am not a bully, i did personalize it to rois's point but for good reason, there is an awful lot of history between us and up until now all of it good. I am saddened by the turn of events but I will not be made out to be a liar in this case. That it not happening.

In many workplaces its not allowed. In some others its frowned upon. In nearly all workplaces that allow it, it must be declared to HR so as to determine if there is conflict of interest.

Rois, I see your point, but the fact of it is that she is not being punished for being the gropee but rather for lying in a HR case. That she is unwilling to follow it up says something indeed, but the fact that her colleagues were offended and were glad that the case was being examined is enough in the US for it to be a very big issue. Had stew turned a blind eye he would have been complicit in the event, and therefore had the girl's colleague taken any action with HR then stew would have had to go too. Had stew not taken action the company themselves could be seen as at fault in the case, and then liable for a potentially large punishment settlement in the courts, which the company could then have turned right back on to stew for not following company procedure...


Its a very very pc world over here, and in the area of sexual harassment in the workplace its crazy. you need to ring fence your position to the letter of the law or you can be in serious trouble.  I know of one guy who got into trouble from his HR team for emailing a female colleague with the word bitch used repeatedly in the email. They only eased up when it became clear he was talking up her getting a puppy at Christmas from his expectant dog...

Is there a rule in the US that you cant have a relationship with someone in the same company?

If you rub the teats of somebody that reports directly to you in any setting you are automatically gone.

In our company you canot be dating someone from the office, if a relationship does start one person transfers out or leaves with no exceptions.

You cant mess with a subordinate in any sexual way, he wasnt derivig any fun out of the deal, he was drunk and stupid and she was blindsided and thinks the world of him so she tried to protect him and in the process could have hurt my standing, she never thought of that at the time but now she realizes and just apologized and asked me to reconsider. She has to move on now, HR have said so and that is the right thing to do. I love the kid, she is great but I am hurt by this whole thing and I wish her and the guy well.

Stew's mentioned the company had rules about staff "fraternising" with "subordinates". Most large companies have similar rules, but have a relaxed attitude to them - until someone raises the question, for instance about promotions, then they have their harris covered.

in most companies, people in a relationship can not work in the same area of responsibility. On lady just joined our company from another as they had hired her husband as the head of US sales from another role. Her sales would fall under his reporting structure so she either had to move to another post or resign.

when relationships form on the job, it can get complex (in more ways than one) but most big companies put rules in place to review them to make sure that it wont impact the company. If they are reported, in nearly every company I do business with their are very illicit and complicated affairs going on all over the place...

So he should just ignore the complaints from his two other staff members? Let them go to HR, reporting they lodged a complaint with him, not only that but he witnessed it too, putting his own job at risk? Never mind the fact your man would have tried to make a liar of him? Right enough.

I'm confused stew. I thought from the outset that you said that "he was gone". If he realized that he was going to lose his job if he admitted to it then can you not at least understand why he might lie about it as you were operating in an official capacity and he was desperate to save himself. Doesn't sound to me that you did anything else other than plan to sack the guy for what I must say is a minor enough misdemeanor in the grand scheme of thing (although I know that HR see these things differently)

Also, how do the people who made the complaint feel about all this. FFS two drunken adult groping. To complain about that knowing full well I presume that it could get a person the sack doesn't say much about their character. You'll be happy you have them still on board. The guy must have had enemies for people to complain about that and know the consequences to him and his family

I'd be pretty sure stew didn't make the rule within the company! and why should he take any risks with his own job over two people who think nothing of leaving wife and kids/bf at home to be at something like that in a room full of people?  He owes them nothing.

That would be my opinion. Without knowing all the details, it would be my view that this could have been handled in a much more diplomatic way at the start that is of course if the two complainants didn't want their pound of flesh. If anything they are the real bastards in all of this. Imagine reporting this knowing that it could get someone the sack (I assume they knew this and if not stew told them when they complained).

Very Irish attitude to this here, putting 'don't be a grass' above all else. Stew had to act the way he did or his ass/family/livelihood would be on the line.
Not easy to be a success in the American workplace, easy to see why he is, 25 and counting.

Well give me the Irish attitude any day of the week than work and success above everything.  Feel very sorry for the girl as she just wanted to stay popular and not fall out with her friend over a nothing incident, and now she's been through hell and been all upset and is going to have to move away from friends and family to keep her job.  Over a short fondle which she didn't instigate.  To not have complete sympathy for her is heartless.

Ofcourse I have sympathy for her situation. But her decision to protect the fool, and therefore implicate Stew as a liar in front of the entire staff (who should not have been out together in the first place under the rules), left her position under Stew untenable.
He had to protect his position, especially given a video was doing the rounds and the entire office knew, some of whom who wanted action. Don't see how he had a choice. She did and took the wrong one.

The Christmas party argument is totally irrelevant. The company rules forbid staff socialising, whether that's fair or not matters not.

It's a very sad day for Irish liberty when we have people on here supporting a company who think they can legislate for what their employees do in their spare time. And what's all these references to "subordinates" about? Has our society become a military state without someone letting Donagh know? I'm pleased to report that in my place of work, everyone from the boss man to the Polish girls cleaning in the mornings are known as "colleagues".

Letting them out?? Surely he can't stop that.
He was out for the night at this 'hooley' as he calls it and a crowd from work landed in. They chose to go where he was according to his posts, maybe he shouldn't have let them know however.
I can see your point, it just shows how impractical the company policy is. I'm not supporting the company by any means but they have that policy, and arguably for good reasons. Nevertheless it has to be adhered to or this stuff would be commonplace and accepted, as it is here.
The situation, and American company laws are different there whether we think it's a sad day for Irish liberty or not.

Donagh, you're making me feel very uncomfortable here  ;D but I have to agree with you.  Though I don't quite get the connection with Irish liberty.

As I said earlier, I don't see how it can be considered the boss's business if one employee "fondles" another outside of work hours and the "fondle-ee" doesn't have a problem with it – even if it is in public. I can see a tenuous connection if it's at a work-related function, but if it's a few people meeting up in a public place, who happen to know each other through work, I can't see it.

I originally understood this as a case of Stew doing the decent thing and asking yer man to behave himself, on the basis that he believed the girl was being abused to some extent. But, outside work, I wouldn't see that as a boss-employee interaction, more a man-to-man one. Now it seems it wasn't she that was bothered, but some third party. If they had a problem, I don't know why they didn't inform the police, instead of their boss.

However, if the PC rules and regulations in the US are now so cockeyed (and as far as I know they weren't that extreme when I was with several US companies here some years ago), I can understand how he felt he needed to act, given that others complained. I'd have told them it was neither their business nor mine – "I'm not your boss here in this pool-hall", or wherever it was. But, for all I know, in the States I could be open to the sack for that. That's why I probably would have declined to administer a rule I couldn't believe in and handed it off to HR.

BTW, I can't see how the arguments here about the morality of the couple concerned have anything to do with the issue of whether it's the company's business or not.

And a question – if it had been two gays fondling each other, what would have happened if Stew had intervened? 'Harassment' and 'discrimination' all over the place, I'd say. And would the other employees have dared to complain? I could imagine HR having caniptions balancing the PC scales on that one!
Title: Re: Things that make you go What the F**k?
Post by: ExiledGael on November 20, 2007, 08:43:07 PM
Hard to argue with most of that, but once the third party voiced their disapproval to Stew he had to set things in motion to cover himself before handing the situation to HR, his 'ducks in a row' as he said repeatedly.

But how professional is it to use his employers' time to post what is essentially internal and confidential information on a discussion board.

In the US employees are expected to complain about any issues that will cause problems in the work place. This has all come about from the claim culture that exists here. If someone passed over for a promotion and the girl who got groped got it, all of her peers will sue the company and win for damages because nothing was done to deal with the workplace situation that was caused by the groping. If they complain about it, or if their superior know that it happened and nothing is done about it, then they cannot lose the case and the company is automatically liable for the claim. In most companies this is addressed in your employment contract and I'm sure its in Stew's.
The fact that he knew about it means that he has to act, if he doesn't as per most contracts of employment, not only will he be fired but they can come after him for costs of any settlement for any claim pertaining to the incident. By the way that also includes someone deciding in 5 years that this is now relevant to their not getting a job, or them getting fired.

If any of you who are busting stews balls are willing to risk your job, your house and your savings so that two drunks who report into you are able to have a grope in front of their colleagues that -congrats on achieving Irish Liberty and good luck with minding your own business. Oh hang on a minute thats exactly what Stew's doing minding his own business, and his own career, and his own house.

the couple made the mistake of doing it in th public eye where colleagues were present.
Think most of us would have gone with girl(s) from the office, but most of us would have had the sense to keep it on the QT - worse still, yer man is married and shes engaged to be married and sounded like she wasnt stopping or running away from his advances - so they are both sharing the guilt here.

The rules, ridiculous as they seem are not out to stop relationships, but to stop trouble with the workforce/court cases.
If the two were fornicating etc - whos to say that some disgruntled employee who didnt get a promotion/salary increase etc wouldnt take a case out against the company identifying that this guy is givin preferential treatment to his 'bit on the side'.
Or if the girl who was 'fondled' (and seemingly enjoyed it) was dropped by yer man, could she take a case eventually for not getting promotion etc.
This rule is set out to stop relationships fouling up the work environment, and also to prevent court cases etc.

bottom line is , if they wanted to go at it, they should have done so elsewhere out of the public eye.
If stew had been the only person to see it, I am sure it would have gone no further.
As others witnessed it (and subsequently complained) his choice was sadly made for him.

Look you may all have a point.....Stew just comes accross a bit too cold in all of this. He wants everybody to understand his perspective which is fair enough, but not once has he empathized properly with their positions or commented on the people who complained in the first place (they're the real bastards in all of this). Thats what got to me. I'll accept that it's a different culture and he had to do what he done but it sounds like a cold cold world over there.

A tight, but not uncommon, spot. Not sure there is much you can do really. I mean what if you approach friends 1 & 3 and they are unrepentant? Or later if it all comes out friend 2 finds out you approached friends 1 & 2 but didn't tell them. If either friend 1 or 3 know you know and bring it up you can tell them what selfish bastards they are, but that's about it. As soon as you know, but delay for any reason in telling friend 2, friends 1 & 3 have you in a spot. And even if you tell friend 2, friends 1 & 3 can just deny and you are the bad guy. All you can do is wait it out and see how the chips fall, stick by friend 2 and realise friends 1 & 3 aren't really great friends, if they would do it to friend 2 they would do it to you.

A lot of friends in there....

Ive decided to approach friend 3, just to let them know that their secret isnt really a secret at all. Maybe that might make them take one of two courses of action. Stopping the cheating, or just breaking up the initial relationship and getting together if thats what they really want. Of all the people involved friend 3 is the one I dont really give too much of a flying f**k about. My loyalty has always been with friend 1, but in the course of their relationship ive become really good friends with friend 2, and their entire family.

She has surpassed herself this morning. She accused one of the lads of being smelly. The conversation went like this

airhead "you smell"
lad "i take baths like they did in the stone age"
airhead " oh no not like those old tin baths like they had in victorian times"
lad "no"
airhead "was the stone age before victorian times"
lad " a good while before yes"
airhead "why is it called the stone age"
lad "because they were all stoned"
airhead "i dont believe you, you are just taking the piss again, there is no such thing as the stone age"
lad " did you do history at school"
airhead "yes"

Anthem gaffe 'lifted Croatia' 
 
Croatia rose to the occasion in their crucial Euro 2008 defeat of England - after an apparent X-rated gaffe by an English opera singer at Wembley.
Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat anthem before the 80,000 crowd, but made a blunder at the end.

He should have sung 'Mila kuda si plania' (which roughly means 'You know my dear how we love your mountains').

But he instead sang 'Mila kura si planina' which can be interpreted as 'My dear, my penis is a mountain.'

Now Henry could be one of the few Englishman at the Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland as Croatian fans adopt him as a lucky omen.

They believe his mistake relaxed their chuckling players, who scored an early goal in the 3-2 win that put Croatia top of the group and knocked out England.

We have a young engineer on site and one of the lads told him to set up the level. He was making a balls of it and couldnt find the bubble ( for levelling the instrument) so one of the other lads got him to go to the store and get a spare bubble for the level. He came back with some bubble wrap the store man gave me and tried to get it into the level. Even worse he reckons he got it in the machine!

In one of those silly debates about who lives in nicest area she was taking quite a hammering by a couple of local lads about her area known as Chelmsley Wood. Its a right kip. She went on the defensive when car jackings, break ins, mattresses in front gardens, all were thrown at her. Her response still kills me to this day. "Chelmsley Wood isn't that bad, hardly anything ever happens in my road, apart from that man that got raped in the alleyway beside my house."

Our resturaunt/bar used to borrow stock from another resturaunt (owned by a mean f**ker) and vice versa when we would run low of a particular item. There was one waitress in particular who was just daft as a brush ( one famous quote when we were talking about genghis khan "Oh yeah I know him, the footballer"?)

Anyways, one day the chef sent her up to grants to see if we could borrow a leg of salmon... So the chef calls grants and asks them to play along.

She comes back down a few minutes later holding a pork loin wrapped in foil, saying "Grants didnt have any salmon legs either, so they sent down some seabass instead"

She is just a temp so no interview required. She does her job in fairness which is just manual input so no thought required thanks be to Jesus.
However the boss was talking about making her permenant which means fudging her aptitude test as there is no way in hell she will pass it.
I thought the last temp was thick (she went on about crossing a chihuahua with her cat so she could put it in her handbag while strutting around town), when advised to read up on her Charles Darwin she just said "who?", but she wasn't a patch on this one.

We had an on-line employee survey done a couple of months ago. I'm sure some of you will be familiar with these. Anyway there are a few questions at the start that determine age range, department, and length of service.
We were brow beaten into doing this confidential survey, no one was interested. Everyone did it after management harping on that we had to do it, and lo and behold the results came back which portray our local management in a very poor light. Now the inquisition has started into who stitched them up. So we gave an honest opinion to HR in a confidential manner and now the shit has started to fly. :o

Maddog, tell them you are happy as a pig in do do and you will be fine. The wife goes through the same thing every year as a nurse and the leaders who get graded get poor results and then try and find out who said what and all that does is make things worse. If they done want bad results either A, change and do a better job by taking notice of the poor results or B stop sending out a meaningless survey that they end up ignoring anyway.

QuoteA Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against Inter Milan, the Italian football team, for wearing a strip with "Crusader-style" red crosses that he alleges is "offensive to Muslim sensibilities".

Baris Kaska, a lawyer in Izmir who specialises in European law, said that he had lodged a complaint in a local court against Inter Milan, which last month played the Istanbul team Fenerbahce in a Champions League match at the San Siro stadium in Milan. The Inter players wore a new strip - a white shirt with a giant red cross on it - marking the club's centenary.

Mr Kaska said he was not only seeking damages but was also appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter won 3-0. "That cross only brings one thing to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights," he said. "It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul." Mr Kaska told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia that the cross symbolised "Western racist superiority over Islam".

He said that Inter had "manifested in the most explicit manner the superiority of one religion over another". He said the court had contacted both Uefa and Fifa to convey his demand that Inter should be "heavily fined for displaying an offensive symbol". "How could Uefa allow this?"demanded the Turkish paper Radikal.

Inter Milan officials said that they were "astounded". They said that in the first match between the two teams in September at Istanbul - which Fenerbahce won 1-0 - Inter had deliberately refrained from wearing the strip with the red cross but had felt entitled to use it on its home ground.

Police in southern India are hunting for two men who attacked a Hindu holy man, cut off his right leg and then made off with it.

The 80-year-old holy man, Yanadi Kondaiah, claimed to have healing powers in the leg.

He is now recovering from his ordeal in hospital in the city of Tirupati in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Local people believed they could be healed of spiritual and physical problems if they touched his leg.

They also believed in Mr Kondaiah's predictions of the future.

Police say the incident happened 550 km north of the state capital, Hyderabad.

Baris Kaska, a lawyer in Izmir who specialises in European law, said that he had lodged a complaint in a local court against Inter Milan, which last month played the Istanbul team Fenerbahce in a Champions League match at the San Siro stadium in Milan. The Inter players wore a new strip - a white shirt with a giant red cross on it - marking the club's centenary.

Mr Kaska said he was not only seeking damages but was also appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter won 3-0. "That cross only brings one thing to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights," he said. "It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul." Mr Kaska told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia that the cross symbolised "Western racist superiority over Islam".

He said that Inter had "manifested in the most explicit manner the superiority of one religion over another". He said the court had contacted both Uefa and Fifa to convey his demand that Inter should be "heavily fined for displaying an offensive symbol". "How could Uefa allow this?"demanded the Turkish paper Radikal.

Inter Milan officials said that they were "astounded". They said that in the first match between the two teams in September at Istanbul - which Fenerbahce won 1-0 - Inter had deliberately refrained from wearing the strip with the red cross but had felt entitled to use it on its home ground.

Police in southern India are hunting for two men who attacked a Hindu holy man, cut off his right leg and then made off with it.

The 80-year-old holy man, Yanadi Kondaiah, claimed to have healing powers in the leg.

He is now recovering from his ordeal in hospital in the city of Tirupati in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Local people believed they could be healed of spiritual and physical problems if they touched his leg.

They also believed in Mr Kondaiah's predictions of the future.

Police say the incident happened 550 km north of the state capital, Hyderabad.


He didn't see that one coming did he.

Pipe bomb is found at GAA ground 

A pipe bomb was found at the ground on the Ballela Road
A pipe bomb has been found at a GAA ground in County Down.
It was discovered during an overnight alert at the ground on the Ballela Road outside Banbridge.

Police have described the device as "viable" and it has now been removed by the Army.

The alert began at about 2100 GMT on Wednesday after a telephone warning. A male caller said a device had been left at the ground.

SDLP assembly member Dolores Kelly said the incident was despicable.

"Children and young people often go to the playing field for a kick around or a puck, and could have very easily come across this device with disastrous consequences.

"The entire community will strongly condemn this incident, and those responsible must desist in this type of threatening attack on a community facility," she said.

Police have appealed for anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area on Wednesday evening to contact them.

At 1 o'clock today he rings and says sorry that he overslept and he slept thru his alarm  and that he was dying with a hangover and then wanted to know where we would be working tomorrow,I said i'd let him know...
What should i do? The fella is out of work but because it's the week before christmas i felt sorry for him and i have enough work for two so i gave him a weeks work..then he doesn't turn up on the first day and spent all day yesterday on the booze when he knew i wanted him early on monday morning
Should i give him work for the rest of the week or should i say f**k off i gave you a chance and you blew it..Thing is i was going to be looking to employ someone in the new year anyways and thought if he was any good i take him on full time

I've had enough experience with useless, wouldn't move out of your way, dickheads.
If he had any respect for you, needed the work or wanted a job he wouldn't have gone and got pissed yesterday and slept in until 1 o'clock!  You also need to ask yourself if he did get up on time this morning what sort of a state would he be in at work and how much money would you waste on him?

Well any way was in Edwards bar which has a big dance floor and plays cheesey music and cheap booze. Well, there was this young wan dancing with her legs wide apart and droppin' her arse to the floor, wearing a very short shirt, and as sher turned around, it turned out she wasnt wearing any knickers. Like for f**k sake, she was pretty much offering her self up to any bloke you'd look at her. I was just like, f**k, thats seriously fucked up. I dont think any bloke touched her cause you can imagine your c**k would drop off with all the filth festering in her bits.  :P

Former "Baywatch" star and Playboy model Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from her third husband after just two months of marriage.

Anderson, 40, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of her marriage to Rick Salomon -- who is best known as Paris Hilton's partner in a 2003 sex tape leaked onto the Internet. The divorce petition was filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Salomon, 39, and Anderson were married on October 6 in Las Vegas. It was a third marriage for both.

Anderson was previously married to rock stars Tommy Lee, drummer for the band Motley Crue, and Kid Rock. The marriage last year to Kid Rock lasted about three months.

Death row Scot set to be released 

Kenny Richey had been facing a retrial after two appeals
A Scottish man who has spent 20 years on death row in the US for the murder of a two-year-old girl is set to be freed after agreeing a plea bargain.
Kenny Richey, whose conviction was overturned, will plead no contest to attempted involuntary manslaughter and child endangering.

He was convicted in 1987 of an arson attack on an apartment block in an Ohio town which killed Cynthia Collins.

It is thought he will enter a plea on Thursday and then return to Scotland.

The plea would see him being sentenced to time already served.

  I always knew this day would come, it is just that when it happened it happened so quickly

Karen Torley
Kenny Richey campaign

His conviction was overturned on appeal for the second time by a US court in August this year, bringing the prospect of a retrial.

Richey's lawyer Ken Parsigian said: "It is a complete victory and more than Kenny and I could ever wish for.

"Kenny is thrilled but a little nervous."

Mr Parsigian said Richey had spoken to his mother Eileen, who lives in Edinburgh, his father and his brother.

They were said to be "delighted" with the news.


Two-year-old Cynthia Collins died in the fire in 1986

A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but a statement that no defence will be presented.

It is treated like a guilty plea by courts.

Mr Parsigian said the plea deal was "as close to the state admitting it was wrong as we are going to get".

He added that Richey was planning to fly back to Edinburgh on Friday.

Karen Torley, his ex-fiancée and head of the Kenny Richey Campaign, said the plea was a face-saving exercise for prosecutors.

She said Richey was upbeat but anxious about the journey home.

"I always knew this day would come, it is just that when it happened it happened so quickly and out of the blue. It took your breath away," she added.

  Nobody can expect him to trust a system that already got it so terribly wrong - but it's an insane process nevertheless

Clive Stafford Smith
Reprieve

Campaign group Reprieve has been working for years to secure Richey's release.

Reprieve's legal director Clive Stafford Smith said the case epitomized what was wrong with capital punishment.

Mr Stafford Smith said: "An innocent man gets a death sentence because he had an incompetent lawyer at trial, his conviction is reversed two decades later, and then he has to enter a plea to avoid a second death sentence.

"It was the right thing to do - nobody can expect him to trust a system that already got it so terribly wrong - but it's an insane process nevertheless."

Richey had always denied murdering his former girlfriend's two-year-old daughter, Cynthia Collins.

He was found guilty of starting a fire at the toddler's mother's apartment in the town of Columbus Grove in 1986.

The case has attracted appeals on Richey's behalf from Pope John Paul II and the former Archbishop of Canterbury.

Right what the f**k should i do  ???

A fella i know was let go a few weeks ago so i offered him a weeks work this week...He was suppose to call to my house this morning at 7am..I tried ringing him and I waited till 8am and still no sign so i just had to head off to work
At 1 o'clock today he rings and says sorry that he overslept and he slept thru his alarm  and that he was dying with a hangover and then wanted to know where we would be working tomorrow,I said i'd let him know...
What should i do? The fella is out of work but because it's the week before christmas i felt sorry for him and i have enough work for two so i gave him a weeks work..then he doesn't turn up on the first day and spent all day yesterday on the booze when he knew i wanted him early on monday morning
Should i give him work for the rest of the week or should i say f**k off i gave you a chance and you blew it..Thing is i was going to be looking to employ someone in the new year anyways and thought if he was any good i take him on full time 


I have a mate who employed a few lads in the states who were fierce beerheads, prone to not turning up the odd monday and the likes so what he did was he'd pay them $100 (example) a day if they worked 5 days in the week but if they only worked 4 he'd pay them $75 a day. He said their attendance at work improved no end.

I was jogging, says nude priest

A US clergyman claimed to have been jogging nude after being arrested for indecent exposure.

The Reverend Robert Whipkey was arrested in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, after an officer saw him walking on a street naked at 4.35am.

He told police he jogged naked because he sweated heavily if he wore clothes.

He will now go on trial before a jury in March next year.

Whipkey served three parishes in Colorado but was placed on administrative leave by the Archdiocese of Denver after his arrest.

The archdiocese said Whipkey was investigated for "inappropriate personal behaviour" more than eight years ago.



(All he had to say was that he was Ziggys mate in training for Greencastle 5km on St Stephen's day)

Well as I say I've tried to remain polite and pleasant to this knob (for the sake of the sister and the children) despite hearing about the "lazy bitch" comments, his general aggressiveness and his constant checking up on what she's doing - stuff she's told us about herself and she's insulted when we don't like him?

Pint I have to say that your sister knew this would both offend and embarass you and that she continued to go ahead knowing that you would be offended and embarassed speaks volumes about her character and as your sister she should have gotten you something or nobody anything at all.

I wouldnt be spending another Christamas with either her or the ballix she is with until she apologises, what she did defies comprehension. I hope you wait a few days and talk to her and get it sorted out.

The difficulty is she could be crying to one of us about something the tube has called her or done before the week is out.  She was never like that before she met him so I blame him, the ****.

I don't intend to talk to her about it, it's very hard to say "you got everyone only me a Christmas present" without sounding like a child  :-\

Well you better talk to her about it because sooner or later it will rear its ugly head, next Christmas for example would be a bad time for you to say you were not showing up and when asked why what are you going to say? you will look very petty at that point.

She is your sister and should carry a lot of the blame also, she is a grown woman who should have got you a gift despite what the dickhead said and she should shoulder a lot of the blame. You wouldnt want anything from the tube anyway would you?

get it sorted. Take her for a cup of tea somewhere and just tell her how it made you feel without making her feel like she is being attacked. I hope you say something and get it fixed otherwise it will eat at you.

My brother in law was to buy my business in the point, I paid for him to train to take over and I paid his travelling expenses for a few weeks to get him ready. He had six months to pay me the initial part of the deal and was then going to pay me weekly for the next five years, i gave him and the sister a brilliant deal and i warned him that I wanted no messing about and that I needed the money by a certain date at a certain time as we were emigrating. Despite numerous warnings he called me the morning of the deadline and announced that he could not get the money because the bank was closed a half day and that he would bring it up the next day. I told him that if he showed up at 12:01 PM he could turn around as I would not sell him the business. i called him and told him that the sale was off because he had been well warned and i knew i would get messed about and as we were emigrating I couldnt afford to get messed around.

We never spoke for three years and that includes my parents who took his side. I didnt want to sell to family but they really wanted it but they were messing me and my family about and i wasnt having it. The business got sold to the assistant bank manager in the northern bank and I moved on. The mistake I made was doing business with family, I had a feeling he would yank my chain and I was right but we then wasted three years of our lives by being bitter. We are fine now, we sorted it out and have moved on but we are not as close as we once were. i hope that does not happen to you pog, I really do.

I was watching that live when it happened, Channel 7 ABC news here  in Chicago. The look on the newsmans face was priceless.
The driver has mental problems (obv.) and a couple of family members died recently and sent him over the edge.

The newscast continued with the car half way into the newsroom.

There is a video of it on the internet somewhere.

I've decided to do nothing because she's the type that would get thick very quickly and make one wee comment from me into a massive issue and run to the rest of the family with a story about big bad me, it would just cause more annoyance than it's worth.

You sound very alike, one of you will need to compromise or things are going to get alot worse. It sounds like your brother in law is going to be the winner in all this, you don't want that do you?

;D I knew someone was going to say that.  No, we're not alike at all.  Yon tube would be delighted if she cut her ties with her family.  She's already gone from speaking to me almost every day to us maybe speaking once every two months - this has been the same with the rest of family.  That manipulative **** would love us to fall out, then she'd have no one to talk to about his name calling and eratic behaviour which is what we don't want.

Well don't let the fcuker get his way, she will eventually come to her senses, you do not want to have burned your bridges with her when that happens, Just be patient your day will come then put the squeeze on the fcuker, stick a wedge between them when you get your chance.

Can't say this is happening but worth posting anyway. With the little insight you have given Pints some of the below have happened. Again not scientific but maybe in the future you not getting a present will be the least of your worries.

What are the signs of domestic violence?

Destructive criticism and verbal abuse: shouting/mocking/accusing/name calling/verbally threatening

Pressure tactics: sulking, threatening to withhold money, disconnect the telephone, take the car away, commit suicide, take the children away, report you to welfare agencies unless you comply with his demands regarding bringing up the childre, lying to your friends and family about you, telling you that you have no choice in any decisions.

Disrespect: persistently putting you down in front of other people, not listening or responding when you talk, interrupting your telephone calls, taking money from your purse without asking, refusing to help with childcare or housework.

Breaking trust: lying to you, withholding information from you, being jealous, having other relationships, breaking promises and shared agreements.

Isolation: monitoring or blocking your telephone calls, telling you where you can and cannot go, preventing you from seeing friends and relatives.

Harassment: following you, checking up on you, opening your mail, repeatedly checking to see who has telephoned you, embarrassing you in public.

Threats: making angry gestures, using physical size to intimidate, shouting you down, destroying your possessions, breaking things, punching walls, wielding a knife or a gun, threatening to kill or harm you and the children.

Sexual violence: using force, threats or intimidation to make you perform sexual acts, having sex with you when you don't want to have sex, any degrading treatment based on your sexual orientation.

Physical violence: punching, slapping, hitting, biting, pinching, kicking, pulling hair out, pushing, shoving, burning, strangling.

Denial: saying the abuse doesn't happen, saying you caused the abusive behaviour, being publicly gentle and patient, crying and begging for forgiveness, saying it will never happen again.

He is trying to isolate you from her as you were very close. Correct me if I am wrong but are you not a big man. Bullies dont like big men around them for obvious reasons.

Oh my God you're right!  I read your post earlier when I hadn't time to respond but I've been thinking about it and yes I'm a big man but would never fight, well it'd have to be bad.  However, my brother would and come to think of it he was the first to be cut off - they'd only moved in weeks when the sister fell out with him over apparently insulting knob head's family, she was also saying stuff about him and his own relationship that I didn't believe but even at the time I knew she was repeating what knobhead was saying I just didn't know why but it all makes sense now!

Pehaps you should ring her house....when she comes on the phone....ask her is bro in law there as you want to thank him for gift. If she panics, or stalls you will know that he doesn't know.

Or perhaps best leave it, and try and keep as close a relationship as you can with her, and hope she comes to her senses soon.

Seriously, not wishing to sound like Miriam- but a little communication wouldnt go amiss between you and your sister. At least figuring out where you stand with her instead of idle speculation and sensationalism. Some of the eejitry on here is taking what could be a simple misunderstanding to extremes with talk of domestic violence and so on. Blood is ultimately thicker than water and life is too short. Throw a few more cliches in there and we are good to go. Give her a ring, take her out for lunch and have a good chin wag.

I think it's best to leave it, if I rang up she'd know what I was up to as it's not very me.

US worker survives 47 story fall


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7172647.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7172647.stm)


US worker survives 47-storey fall 
 
An inquiry into the accident at the building in E 66 St is under way


Wife's reaction 
A New York window cleaner who survived a 47-storey fall from a skyscraper last month is making a gradual recovery - in what doctors say is a "miracle".
Alcides Moreno, 37, tumbled some 500ft (150m) to the ground in a scaffolding accident that killed his brother.

Mr Moreno suffered severe brain, spine and abdomen injuries and both his legs, his right arm and ribs were broken.

But after undergoing a series of surgeries he is now awake, able to talk and is expected to walk again.

"If you are a believer in miracles, this would be one," Dr Philip Barie, a surgeon at New York's Presbyterian Hospital where Mr Moreno is being treated, was quoted as saying by the New York Times newspaper.

"Above 10 floors, most of the time we never see the patients because they usually go to the morgue... this is right up there with those anecdotes of people falling out of airplanes and surviving," Dr Barie said.

'What did I do?'

Mr Moreno, an immigrant from Ecuador, plummeted from the Manhattan skyscraper on 7 December, when a platform on which he was working came loose. His younger brother died instantly in the fall.

An investigation into the cause of the accident is under way.

Immediately after the accident Mr Moreno received 24 units of blood and several units of blood plasma. Nine operations followed to stitch together his broken body.

But now doctors say that now Mr Moreno has movement in all his limbs and is able to talk.

His wife, Rosario, said that one day he even reached out and stroked the face of one of the nurses.

"I looked at him and said, 'You're not supposed to do that. I'm your wife, you touch your wife'," Mrs Moreno was quoted by the New York Times as saying.

She said his answer was: "What did I do?"

Dr Barie said that "although there is more work to be done, we are very optimistic for his prospects for survival".

Mr Moreno still has to undergo several surgeries in the coming weeks.

The medical team, however, warns that there is still a chance he could develop serious complications.

Mexico boy tries to stick at home
A Mexican boy glued his hand to his bed because he did not want to go back to school after the Christmas break.
"The holidays were such fun," Diego Palacios, 10, who lives outside Monterrey, told Reforma newspaper.

His mother Sandra found him watching television with his hand stuck to the bedstead. "I don't know why he did it," she said. "He is a good boy."

Police and paramedics eventually managed to free him unharmed, and he was only a few hours late for school.

Diego had got up early to fetch some industrial-strength glue from the kitchen.

His mother spent two hours trying to free him with nail-polish remover before calling for expert help.

Diego watched cartoons while paramedics dissolved the glue with a spray.

What the F#$k are you doing here?

A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees.

Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.

"I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper.

The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported.

A Russian man has been charged with killing two friends with an axe after he walked in on them cutting up his pet dog for food at his home in eastern Siberia, local prosecutors said today.

Alexander Yermilov, 40, "caught two friends with the body of his beloved dog, which they had cut up for meat" when he returned to his home one evening in December, the prosecutor's office in the town of Chita said in a statement.

"Flying into a rage, the dog's owner grabbed an axe from the floor and began to strike his uninvited guests on the head," the statement said.

Yermilov then called the police to explain what had happened. He has been charged with two counts of murder and is in police custody, the statement said.

Airliner crash lands at Heathrow 

The BA flight crash-landed at Heathrow Airport


Enlarge Image

An international passenger plane has crash landed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport.
Passengers escaped down the emergency chutes after British Airways flight BA38 from Beijing came down.

Six ambulances were sent to the scene and three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The incident happened as Prime Minister Gordon Brown was due to leave Heathrow for China and India. His flight was delayed because of the incident.

The south runway is closed while investigators examine the scene - the north runway remains open.

  On its approach it took the runway too low, just missing the roof of my cab

John Rowland, eyewitness

Eyewitness John Rowland said: "The plane's wheels collapsed, doors were flown open.

"On its approach it took the runway too low, just missing the roof of my cab.

"It crashed into the runway, debris was flying everywhere, there was an enormous bang and it skidded sideways."

Huge amount of smoke

Another eyewitness, Nick Gray, told BBC News: "We were taxiing along ready to take off and certainly out of the window I could see a plane coming in to land.

"I'm not quite sure if the under carriage was missing or not, but certainly what we saw was the plane coming down.

 

"There were some sparks as the undercarriage or the bottom of the plane actually touched the runway - certainly a huge amount of smoke coming up from that.

"And then the plane did come to a halt reasonably quickly.

"It was incredibly efficient the speed that people got off the aircraft.

"I could see that the chutes were deployed very quickly and people were coming down on that.

"Then people were sent off to the nearby buildings which are probably only about 200 yards away from the plane.

"There about six fire engines there now.

"There seems to have been regular dousing of foam on the port engine which obviously probably was the hottest one where the plane landed.

"Certainly there is a lot of activity and lots of vehicles with flashing lights all around the plane."

ONE man has been charged with dangerous driving and assault on police after an officer was dragged along a road by a suspect car on the outskirts of west Belfast.

It happened shortly after 12.30am yesterday when police attempted to stop a black Vauxhall Vectra on the Bellsteele Road near Lisburn.

The 47-year-old man is expected to appear at Lisburn Magistrate's Court on February 11. Police are believed to be seeking another man believed to have been in the car at the time.

"The car made contact with an officer who sustained an injury to his wrist," a police spokeswoman said.

"Another officer then attempted to open the door of the vehicle but the car drove on, trapping the

officer's arm in the door and dragging him along the road for approximately 15 metres."

Both officers are understood to have sustained minor injuries but did not have to attend hospital.

The vehicle was stopped a short time later on Stewartstown Road where the driver was arrested but, according to police, the passenger fled the scene.

Two children, believed to be under 10 years of age, were also in the car at the time but were uninjured.

QuoteA story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims.

The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

The awards which rejected the book are run by Becta, the government's educational technology agency.

The judging panel also attacked the book's stereotyping of builders.

The book's creative director, Anne Curtis, said that the idea that including pigs in a story could be interpreted as racism was "like a slap in the face".

'Cultural issues'

The CD-Rom digital version of the traditional story of the three little pigs, called Three Little Cowboy Builders, is aimed at primary school children.

But judges at this year's Bett Award said that they had "concerns about the Asian community and the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

The Three Little Cowboy Builders has already been a prize winner at the recent Education Resource Award - but its Newcastle-based publishers, Shoo-fly were turned down by the Bett Award panel, run the government's technology agency.

The feedback from the judges explaining why they had rejected the CD-Rom highlighted that they "could not recommend this product to the Muslim community".

They also warned that the story might "alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)".

The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: "Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?"

Animal Farm?

Ms Price said that rather than preventing the spread of racism, such an attitude was likely to inflame ill-feeling. As another example, she says would that mean that secondary schools could not teach Animal Farm because it features pigs?

Her company is committed to an ethical approach to business and its products promote a message of mutual respect, she says - and banning such traditional stories will "close minds rather than open them".

Becta, the government funded agency responsible for technology in schools and colleges, says that it is standing by the judges' verdict.

"Becta with its partners is responsible for the judging criteria against which the 70 independent judges, mostly practising teachers, comment. All the partners stick by the judging criteria," said a Becta spokesman.

Merlin John, author of an educational technology website which highlighted the story, warns that such rulings can undermine the credibility of the awards.

"When benchmarks are undermined by pedestrian and pedantic tick lists, and by inflexible, unhelpful processes, it can tarnish the achievements of even the most worthy winners.

"It's time for a rethink, and for Becta to listen to the criticisms that have been ignored for a number of years," said Mr John.

Four arrested after scaling crane 

One of the men is seen outside the cab 
Four men have been arrested after they scaled a massive crane in Belfast city centre.
A number of roads were closed in the area for sveral hours while a rescue operation was launched.

Members of the Fire Service's rescue support unit helped take the men down the crane, which is on the site for a new hotel off Bedford Street.

One of the men was seen sitting out on the arm of the crane, which is hundreds of feet up.

A number of fire appliances attended the scene and police cordoned off several streets in the city centre.

No doubt if one of them had of been killed they would have sued someone

Marijuana vending machines in US
Cannabis bundle
Eleven US states allow medical marijuana on doctors' orders
Vending machines distributing the drug marijuana are to begin operating in the US state of California.

The machines can only be used by people who have been prescribed the drug for health reasons.

Patients will have to provide a prescription, and be fingerprinted and photographed before being allowed to use the facilities.

Eleven US states allow the medicinal use of marijuana, primarily for pain relief, but it remains controversial.

Vince Mehdizadeh, owner of the Herbal Nutrition Centre in Los Angeles, where one of the two first machines is based, said it would allow patients to buy extra supplies whenever needed.

Series of checks

Once the users have been photographed, fingerprinted and have shown their prescription, they will be issued with a card which can be used in the machines, he told KWTX News 10 in the US.

"They'll be greeted by a security guard right there. They'll slide the card in and they'll fingerprint in to verify that it's them," he was quoted by KWTX News 10 as saying.

"A camera takes a picture of them, verifying that they're actually at the machine. And they get the medicine and they move on."

The operators think that vending machines issuing prescription drugs could become a common sight in the US.

Proponents say marijauna is a valuable tool for relieving pain and stimulating appetite in the sick.

However, it remains banned by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act and the US federal government does not currently recognise any legitimate medical use

So there we were, just about to head to bed on bank holiday Monday night when I noticed the police helicopter circling above, noticed that the spotlight was concentrating on my backyard and the ones to left, right, and on the street behind us. Was watching this with interest when herself comes down to tell me that there are a load of squad cars out in the street – this went on for a while and pretty soon some police officers came over the fence into our yard, opened the door to tell them that the back shed had no lock, they took out their guns and crept down the garden, shone the flashlight into the shed window and then went in, all clear. One of the police asked if he could come through the house to get back onto the road.

Went back down to our sunroom and was watching the chopper spotlight (which had by now moved down a couple of streets) and I see this man in a t-shirt tip toeing from one side of the house into the backyard no more than 3 feet from me, heart leapt and I was up the hall way and out into the street to get the police – they all piled into the house and out into the yard, 2 minutes later 3 big lads came in with massive Alsatians straining at the leash and the helicopter spotlight was now back shining directly at our yard. They had a pretty good look and found some footprints, sent the dog in under the house to ensure that he wasn't in there – gave us the all clear again. Helicopters and squad cars stayed in the area for another hour or so – media report below. Knackered this morning


From smh.com.au

TWO police officers are in hospital following a manhunt for armed robbers in Sydney's north-east.
Police say one male offender remains on the run and three are in custody following an armed robbery at Gladesville.
A police helicopter and a dog squad joined the manhunt after four men allegedly entered a licensed club in Ryde Rd about 10.30pm (AEDT) last night.
The offenders, one allegedly brandishing a firearm, threatened several people inside the premises before failing to steal an ATM.
Police say they did steal a sum of cash before fleeing the scene in a Mitsubishi Evo.
A short time later, officers sighted the car and pursued it into nearby Summer Hill before it crashed into another car.
The men allegedly fled on foot while the 52-year-old female driver of the other car escaped the crash uninjured.
A massive search involving PolAir and police dogs located the men aged 20, 25 and 31.
Police are questioning the men and continue their search for the alleged fourth offender.
The two police officers who responded to the incident were injured when their vehicle left the road and struck a pole at Ashfield about 10.45pm.
Both officers sustained back and neck injuries and were taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for treatment



EDIT : One of the arrested is also to be charged with animal cruelty having punched the police dog when apprehended

Rough night Stephenite. We had a guy go crazy in reno last year, knifed his ex-wife to death and then shot his divorce judge from a car park through the reno courthouse window. Of course the whole scenario was played out on tv, and Mrs Puck was at home while I was working. A news report was released that this murderers car had been abandoned in our neighbourhood and that everyone was instructed to lock down their houses. The panic alert I recieved from the wife was second to none, I wish Id have saved the voicemail.

AZ, Yeah, Darren Mack. Lunatic and swinger extrordinaire. Was estranged from the wife, was living the swinging lifestyle and just went bananas. He shot the judge through his office window with a high powered rifle from across the street in a parking garage. The whole downtown was shut down as the cops thought we had a sniper going after public figures.
He gave himself up and is now sueing his first trial laywer team as he said they coerced him to plead insanity.

Eddie O'Sullivan  >:( >:( >:( >:( ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Brian O'Driscoll will win his 80th cap for Ireland this Saturday when he leads the team out to play Italy in Croke Park in the opening game of the 2008 RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Coach Eddie O'Sullivan has named Geordan Murphy on the left wing, with Ulster's Andrew Trimble named on the right wing.  At halfback, Ronan O'Gara will continue his partnership with Eoin Reddan, who was named at scrumhalf to win his sixth cap for Ireland.

In the forwards, Prop John Hayes will also be reaching the landmark of 80 caps for Ireland in a front row that sees the return of Rory Best to the starting line-up.

Malcolm O'Kelly also returns to the starting fifteen to extend his Ireland caps record to 92.

Speaking about his team selection, Eddie O'Sullivan said: 'There were a couple of difficult calls to make. The front row was hard because Rory has played very well since recovering from injury, but Jackman pushed him close.

'We looked at Jamie Heaslip because of his form but on balance we decided to leave the back row as it is. Scrum-half was a tight call as well. It could have gone either way between Reddan and Stringer.'


Ireland team to play Italy in the RBS 6 Nations at Croke Park on Saturday 2 February at Croke Park.

15 Girvan Dempsey, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, (capt), 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Geordan Murphy, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Eoin Reddan.

1 Marcus Horan, 2, Rory Best,  3 John Hayes, 4, Donnacha O'Callaghan, 5 Malcolm O'Kelly, 6 Simon Easterby, 7 David Wallace, 8 Denis Leamy.

Replacements: 16, Bernard Jackman, 17, Tony Buckley, 18 Mick O'Driscoll, 19, Jamie Heaslip, 20, Peter Stringer, 21, Paddy Wallace, 22 Robert Kearney.

Not considered: Jerry Flannery, Paul O'Connell.

QuoteBedroom furniture for young girls with the brand name Lolita has been withdrawn by Woolworths following complaints from parents.

A parenting website said it was in "unbelievably bad taste" to give the bed the same name as a novel about a sexually precocious young girl.

Woolworths said the £395 Lolita Midsleeper Combi was withdrawn when the matter was brought to its attention.

Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel became famous for its controversial subject.

The story of a stepfather's sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl has been adapted for film twice: first by Stanley Kubrick in 1962 and later in 1997 when Jeremy Irons played the lead part of Humbert Humbert.

Catherine Hanly, editor of parenting website raisingkids.co.uk, was among the parents to complain about the furniture advertised on the Woolworths website.

She said a Woolworths press officer had told her staff running the website "had no idea" of the word's connotations.

"I expect a company like Woolworths to actually know what it means and the connotations and stuff," she told BBC Radio Five Live Breakfast.

"It has become a name that is synonymous with sexual precocity and the fact that it is tied to a girl's bed - it literally couldn't be worse taste."

A Woolworths spokeswoman said: "Now this has been brought to our attention, the product has been removed from sale with immediate effect.

She said the suppliers, who advertise the product on the Woolworths' website, would be asked how the branding came about.

Playboy bunny

It is not the first time retailers have been criticised for using branding with sexual connotations on goods marketed for children.

In 2005, WH Smiths came under fire for selling youngsters stationery bearing the Playboy bunny - a symbol of the pornography empire.

Prior to that Bhs decided to withdraw its Little Miss Naughty range of padded bras and knickers for pre-teen girls.

Argos, however, defended its range of underwear for girls as young as nine including G-strings and padded bras as products in demand among children.

QuoteThe mayor of a small town in Texas has resigned after secretly keeping her neighbour's Shih Tzu while pretending it had died.

Neighbours had asked Alice Mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez to look after the dog, Puddles, during a holiday. She called them to say it was dead.

But the dog, which Ms Saenz-Lopez had renamed Panchito, was later seen at a dog groomer's and at her sister's home.

A custody hearing on Monday is expected to decide who keeps the pet.

Ms Saenz-Lopez had filed a police report to say that Puddles was missing.

She was indicted on 18 January on two counts of tampering with evidence and concealing evidence.

In a resignation letter published by the Alice Echo-News Journal Ms Saenz Lopez apologised for the incident.

"I can tell you that I did at the time what I thought was best for Panchito and what I felt was right in my heart," she wrote.

"I am sorry for the division that the events of these last few weeks have caused.

"It was never my intent to bring any negative exposure to our city."

Mum accused of killing baby in microwave

A woman accused of killing her baby daughter in a microwave oven told her boyfriend the child would still be alive if he'd not been out cheating, the boyfriend told a US court.

Terrell Talley said his girlfriend China Arnold had admitted to killing the one-month-old girl, named Paris.

The girl was pronounced dead in August 2005, after the couple took her to hospital.

Some months later, in a phone conversation, Talley said Arnold told him of a possible motive for her actions.

"She told me if I wouldn't be out cheating, my baby would still be alive," Talley told the court.

Arnold has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Under questioning by defence lawyer Jon Paul Rion, Talley acknowledged telling people he did not have any idea what happened to the baby.

The defence has said that people other than Arnold had access to the baby and that she was intoxicated when the baby died.

Talley said Arnold was drunk, but not so drunk that she would not know what happened.

He said the baby was fine when he went to sleep.

But the next morning, Talley said he saw a red mark on the baby's face and noticed she was stiff and cold.

The trial continues.

How Dubai Holiday Could Land You In Jail

By Julia Reid
Updated:15:22, Friday February 08, 2008

A simple poppy seed in your sandwich or one or two over-the-counter painkillers can land you in a foreign jail for up to four years, it has been warned.

Dubai is becoming more popularLegal charity Fair Trials International says travellers are at risk if even the smallest trace of a banned substance is found on them when entering the United Arab Emirates.

With more Britons than ever taking sunshine holidays in Dubai, there has been a recent spate of arrests and imprisonment.

Earlier this week youth development officer Keith Brown from Birmingham was jailed for four years after 0.003g of cannabis was found in the tread of his shoes by customs officials in Dubai.

The amount of the drug found on his shoe was less than a grain of sugar.

MAN LIVER WITH CORPSE FOR YEARS

The body of a man believed to have been dead for more than five years has been found in a Bristol flat where a tenant continued to live.
The remains of Denis Pring were discovered on a sofa in the lounge after neighbours reported a foul smell.

Mr Pring, who would have been 73, was a lodger at the flat in Bedminster.

It is thought the flat's tenant failed to report the death because he suffers from mental health problems.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned.

The tenant, named locally as Alan Derrick, and also in his 70s, was initially arrested in connection with the discovery, but was later bailed.

Police are no longer treating the death as suspicious.

Bristol City Council has launched an internal inquiry to establish how the corpse went unnoticed for so long.

A spokesman said: "We were alerted to the body after we received reports of a smell.

"We are shocked and concerned by this discovery and are carrying out an urgent internal review of the circumstances of the tenant.

"A police investigation is ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to comment further while this is taking place."

Assault rap for rough handshake 

The lawyer could face up to a year in jail for her vigorous handshake
A Florida lawyer has been charged with assault for over-vigorously shaking the hand of a fellow attorney.
Kathy Brewer Rentas, 49, shook the hand of Assistant US Attorney Jennifer Keene so hard her arm was nearly ripped out of its socket, a court official said.

Moments before, Ms Keene successfully prosecuted Ms Brewer Rentas' husband.

Anthony Rentas was accused of violating the terms of a probation order for supplying cocaine, and sentenced to 90 days of house arrest.

After the hearing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Mrs Brewer Rentas insisted on shaking the prosecuting lawyer's hand.

In shaking it, she nearly floored Ms Keene with the vigour of her hand-action.

The strong arm of the lawyer

"With Keene in hand, Brewer made an upward, then a quick downward motion and pulled Keene toward the ground moving her forward, almost causing Keene to fall to the ground," said a court security officer.

Alicia Valle, a spokeswoman for the US Attorney's Office, said assaulting a federal officer was a serious matter and that Mrs Brewer Rentas would be prosecuted "vigorously".

"As a member of the bar, she should know better," she said.

Mrs Brewer Rentas was freed on Friday on $100,000 (£50,000) bail, after spending a night in solitary confinement, and ordered to undergo psychological examination.

She was also ordered to stay away from Mrs Keene, and faces up to a year in prison if convicted of assault.

Mrs Brewer Rentas says she did not intend to cause any harm.

Brothers jailed over van robbery

Two brothers who were part of a four-man armed-gang have been jailed for a total of 11 years.
Belfast Crown Court heard that last year, Damien Gibbons, 32, grabbed a cash box from a van guard outside the Northern Bank in Finaghy.
The guard was an undercover policeman who chased Gibbons to a waiting van driven by his brother, Stephen, 34.
After a scuffle both men were arrested. The brothers, with no fixed address, pleaded guilty to robbery.
Damien Gibbons also admitted a further charge of attempting to inflict grievious bodily harm with intent.

A prosecuting lawyer told the court that Damien Gibbons had 165 previous convictions while his brother had 295.

Two other men who were arrested nearby - David Crone, 25 of no fixed address and Declan Stilges, 33, from Norglen Parade in Belfast.
They have also pleaded guilty to the robbery and are due to be sentenced next month.



500 odd convictions between them, What the f**k? Don't ever let the pricks out again.

The Pentagon wants to shoot the craft down from a ship.The US military is planning to shoot down a broken spy satellite due to crash land on Earth in the next few weeks, the Pentagon has announced.

President George W Bush approved the option to fire a missile from a US Navy ship to destroy the satellite before it enters the atmosphere, officials said.

They say the satellite contains a hazardous material which could be fatal if inhaled by humans.

A 16-year-old Argentine girl has given birth to female triplets - for the second time.

The girl, named only as Pamela, had her first set of female triplets aged 15, having first given birth to a son when she was just 14.

All seven children were born prematurely but without any kind of fertility treatment.

While doctors say the three newborns and their mother are well, the case has sparked debate across Argentina.

In bars and cafes, as well as the letters pages of newspapers, there has been widespread criticism of Pamela's alleged promiscuity.

Seeking more

Pamela's family already receives help from the provincial authorities, which donated land and built them a house when the first set of triplets was born.

Pamela's mother, who cleans houses to support her daughter and rapidly increasing number of grandchildren, says they will now seek more assistance from the government for the new additions to the family.

Some Argentines are arguing that perhaps what Pamela needs is more advice on contraception.

The teenager, who will be 17 on Monday, comes from the remote town of Leones in the central Argentine province of Cordoba.

ST. PETERS, Missouri —  A woman angry that her new puppy had died pushed her way into a dog breeder's home and repeatedly hit her on the head with the dead Chihuahua, authorities said.

The 33-year-old woman told police she had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who said it was only 4 weeks old and needed to be returned to its mother. But before she could return the puppy, it died.

Early Wednesday, the woman went to the breeder's home, pushed her way inside and began fighting with the breeder as she tried to make her way to the basement to get another puppy, police said.

The breeder wrestled the woman out of her house to the front porch, where the woman then hit the breeder over the head numerous times with the dead puppy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing police.

As she drove away, the woman waved the dead puppy out of the car's sunroof and yelled threats at the breeder, police said. She later called the breeder and threatened her and her family, according to court records.

Police said they are considering felony burglary charges against woman and misdemeanor assault charges.

A pregnant Papua New Guinea woman who hung from a tree after being accused of sorcery gave birth to her baby while struggling to free herself, local media reports.

Nolan Yekum and her husband Paul were dragged from their house and hung from a tree by fellow tribesmen who accused them of sorcery after the couple's neighbour suddenly died.

Their ordeal occurred in Kilip village near Banz in Western Highlands Province, PNG's newspaper The National reported today.

The woman and her newborn baby girl, her third child, were doing well in Mt Hagen Hospital after two weeks in hiding, the report said.

Her husband said men entered their house in the middle of the night with a rope and tied it to their necks, accusing them of sorcery over their neighbour's death.

They were dragged outside and hung from a tree, he said.

"We managed to loosen the noose to get our feet on the ground ... we were able to free ourselves.

"My wife, who was about seven months pregnant, delivered the baby while struggling to free herself.

"It was a painful experience for me and her," Yekum said.

He said he pleaded with fellow villagers to wait for his neighbour's post-mortem and he accused local police of failing to act.

The couple vehemently denied practising sorcery.

German police dogs to wear shoes

Police dogs in the German city of Dusseldorf are being trained to wear shoes to protect them against injuries from broken glass.

Dusseldorf's team of 20 German and Belgian shepherds are at risk from smashed bottles in the city centre, a police spokesman said.

Training to help the dogs get used to the shoes, which arrived two weeks ago, is said to be going well.

It is hoped that dogs will be wearing them on patrol next month.

Minor injuries

The dogs perform routine protection duties and are also trained to find drugs and explosives.

Police spokesman Gunter Herring said the main risk was in Dusseldorf's old city centre, known for its late-night drinking.

"There are many people and sometimes in the late evening or during the night we have drunken people and they throw their bottles or glasses away," Mr Herring told the BBC News website.

The dogs have picked up minor injuries in the past, he said.

"Now we are conditioning the dogs to wearing their shoes to protect them in these areas from the glass and cuts."

The dogs are also at risk around the city's large football stadium, Mr Herring said.

The plastic shoes are freely available on the market and were not made specially for Dusseldorf police.

DJ forgets to hit 'live' button

A radio DJ spent an hour talking on his breakfast show without realising that listeners could not hear him.

Andy Greener, a volunteer DJ at Radio Teesdale, forgot to press a crucial button to make his show live.

Instead of his show, listeners heard 60 minutes of music and jingles as an automated back-up system kicked in to prevent radio silence.

He was alerted to his mistake when his station manager, listening at home, tried to call in.

Peter Dixon repeatedly tried to alert his DJ to his mistake.

But the former police officer, known to listeners as Mr Andy, was too busy presenting his show to answer the phone.

Eventually, Mr Dixon got through and Greener began broadcasting again.

Media attention

"I've been involved with community radio for about four years and I've been doing this three days a week for 10 months and have never done it before," Greener told the BBC News website.

He said he felt "a bit uncomfortable" with the media attention his mistake had attracted but that any publicity for the station was "absolutely brilliant".

"I'm starting to get to the stage of being a bit sick of it all, but I look forward to getting back on the air on Monday," he said.

"After this, I don't think I'll be forgetting again," he added.

The independent station, which broadcasts to 25,000 people in rural County Durham from the market town of Barnard Castle, has a community licence to broadcast locally.

Title: Woman sat on toilet seat for two years
Post by: stephenite on March 12, 2008, 10:16:39 PM
Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years - so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on February 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbour.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

Bear convicted for theft of honey  

Temptation was too great for the bear
The taste of honey was just too tempting for a bear in Macedonia, which repeatedly raided a beekeeper's hives.
Now it has a criminal record after a court found it guilty of theft and criminal damage.

But there was an empty dock in the court in the city of Bitola and no handcuffed bear, which was convicted in its absence.

The case was brought by the exasperated beekeeper after a year of trying vainly to protect his beehives.

For a while, he kept the animal away by buying a generator, lighting up the area, and playing thumping Serbian turbo-folk music.

But when the generator ran out of power and the music fell silent, the bear was back and the honey was gone once more.

"It attacked the beehives again," said beekeeper Zoran Kiseloski.

Because the animal had no owner and belonged to a protected species, the court ordered the state to pay for the damage to the hives - around $3,500 (£1,750; 2,238 euros).

The bear, meanwhile, remains at large - somewhere in Macedonia.

Ugly scenes erupt at Showgrounds 

There were ugly scenes after Saturday's draw at the Showgrounds
There were ugly scenes after the draw between Ballymena United and Lisburn Distillery as referee Mark Courtney had to be escorted off the field by police.
Courtney and his assistants waited on the pitch for 10 to 15 minutes while police vehicles surrounded the pitch.

Managers Tommy Wright and Paul Kirk had to be kept apart after squaring up and missiles were thrown towards the pitch.

A chair, a bottle and a leg of lamb in a red bag are all believed to have been thrown by angry Ballymena supporters.

If I remember correctly minder - that story is from 2005.

They did a documentary on it, and one theory was that the snake was opened by another predator (probably another alligator) after it ate the gator, which was too much for it and it either died because the gator was so big, or it wasnt fit to move and hence was easy prey for another animal.

Serious WTF moment.... from the BBC

An Australian man and his daughter have asked for understanding after revealing on national TV they have an incestuous relationship, and have a daughter.

John Deaves, 61, appeared on the TV show 60 Minutes with daughter Jenny, 39, and nine-month-old Celeste - to whom he is both father and grandfather.

Last month a judge banned them from having sex with each other and revealed they had a child in 2001 who died.

But they insisted on the programme that they were "normal intellectual adults".

Mr Deaves said they both "had careers, had a normal life like everybody else".

He added: "But [we have] fallen in love with each other when we are biologically related, when we've discovered each other later in life."

Mr Deaves had left the family home when his daughter Jenny was a baby, and did not see her again for 30 years.

When the couple met, in 2000, they began a sexual relationship.

Ms Deaves told 60 Minutes she began to see John as a man first and a father second.

"I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he's not too bad. Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub," she said.

"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults. We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

The couple each pleaded guilty to two charges of incest last month and were banned from having sex with each other.

According to the judge's ruling in the case, the couple had a child in 2001 who died from congenital heart disease shortly after birth.

A man who broke his girlfriend's leg in a compensation scam designed to snare more than $200,000 has been jailed for three years.

Gordon Thomson, from Plymouth, UK, snapped his girlfriend Elizabeth Hingston's leg and then planned to sue his local council by claiming Ms Hingston had been injured by a falling wall, The Daily Mail reported.

But police found video footage of the incident, taken by Thomson on his mobile phone, the paper said.

It showed the 32-year-old unemployed chef placing Ms Hingston's left leg between two bricks and then jumping on it with both feet.

The sound of the sickening crack rang through Plymouth Crown Court as a judge watched the video, the paper said.

Ms Hingston, 28, agreed to the plot and drunk a bottle of Pernod, a licorice-flavoured liquor, and took valium to dull the pain. But she could be heard screaming in agony after her leg was broken, the paper said.

The couple split up a few weeks later. Ms Hingston required surgery and spent six months on crutches. The couple had reported the injury, mentioning a fallen wall, but never made a formal claim against the council, the paper said.

However, they had told a friend they hoped to win $211,000 (£100,000).

"The council were informed by the defendant the wall had collapsed and injured his girlfriend but he did not take it further than that," said prosecutor David Gittins.

Police found the video on Thomson's phone when he was arrested in a drugs raid the following month, Mr Gittins said.

"Thomson told police he had broken the leg but said she had gone on and on at him to do so.

"He said he did not think he would break her leg when he jumped on her but did so to shut her up. He said he asked a friend to film it on his mobile to show she had agreed to it.

"He said he kept it on his phone to show others to get a reputation for being violent and said it was a help in this world to have a reputation."

Ms Hingston, who was not charged, told police the idea had been hers.

"She said they arrived at the idea after seeing accident claim solicitors' advertisements on television for no-win, no-fee claims and so forth," said defendant Robert Linford.

"She was a volunteer and in the circumstances the culpability of this defendant is reduced very significantly.

"She comments that far from him taking advantage of her vulnerability, it was her who was exploiting his vulnerability."

When jailing Thomson, Judge Francis Gilbert said: "This is an extraordinary case. You broke Miss Hingston's leg deliberately at her request and with her consent in order to make a false claim against the city council.

"Whether or not she consented or suggested the scheme, it is no defence. You inflicted really serious harm to another person deliberately and with pre-meditation for a wholly financial motive."

Title: 8 year old files for divorce

Eight-year-old divorced after rape
Email Printer friendly version Normal font Large font April 17, 2008 - 9:57AM

A Yemeni judge dissolved the marriage of an 8-year-old girl to a man 22 years her senior, and the court today ordered her taken away from her father, who allegedly forced her into the marriage, the girl's lawyer said.

The lawyer, Shatha Ali Nasser, said the case is but one of thousands of under-aged girls forced into marriages in this poor tribal country at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

But the girl's story, which came to light when she took the unusual step and sought out a judge on her own in early April to file for divorce, has drawn headlines here.

The girl recounted her ordeal after the Wednesday ruling, speaking to reporters outside the courthouse in the Yemeni capital, San'a.

She said her father had forced her into an abusive marriage to 30-year-old Faiz Ali Thamer, who she told reporters constantly beat and raped her. The two-month union to Thamer was terminated in court Tuesday.

"I used to run from room to room to escape from him. But he would catch up with me, beat me and then would use me," the girl said, her tiny frame swallowed in an oversized robe and headscarf, standing with her lawyer.

The Associated Press is not publishing her name in line with its policy of not identifying rape victims.

The 8-year-old said that when she told her parents that her husband abused her, they refused to help her.

"They told me, 'Go to court. Complain to them. We are not going to interfere,"' she said.

The ruling judge Mohammed al-Qady said in court that he sympathised with the girl and was moved by the case from the start.

At the first session of the trial on April 9, her parents testified that they refused to divorce their daughter from Thamer and conceded to overlooking their daughter's complaints about the marriage.

Within a week, al-Qady ordered the couple be separated, and the marriage terminated because the girl "had not reached puberty", the judge said.

An article in Yemeni law allows parents to sign marriage contracts for children under the age of 15. However, the article states that the husband can only consummate the marriage when his wife reaches puberty.

"But we know that this is not what happened" in the girl's case, her lawyer Nasser said.

The girl's family was ordered to pay $US250 ($A266.30) as "compensation" to her ex-husband Thamer, although the judge did not specify the reason.

Thamer, who was briefly detained for questioning in April, was quoted Wednesday by a local independent English-language newspaper as saying he saw nothing wrong in being intimate with his wife.

"Yes, I was intimate with her, but I have done nothing wrong, as she is my wife and I have the right and no one can stop me," he told The Yemen Times. "But if the judge or other people insist that I divorce her, I will do it, it's OK."

Thamer is unlikely to be charged because Yemeni law does not recognise rape in a marriage.

It also doesn't provide for punishment if a marriage is consummated before a child-wife reaches puberty.

After the verdict, Nasser said she will make sure that the girl gets proper education.

Wrong kidney removed from child 

The hospital has apologised for the error

A hospital in the Republic of Ireland has admitted removing the wrong kidney from a sick child.

The mistake, that led to a healthy kidney being removed, was described by Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin as an "unprecedented error".

The Dublin hospital said it had given its sincere apologies to the family.

The young child now faces regular dialysis unless a donor kidney can be found. An internal investigation is being carried out by the hospital.

The hospital described it as a "significant and regrettable medical error".

The child has been discharged from the hospital.

The hospital said its board of directors will consider the detail of the review and act where appropriate.

Our Lady's said the family was continuing to receive full support by the hospital staff and were happy to remain there for follow-up care.

Clinical errors


Irish Health Minister Mary Harney has indicated there may need to be an outside enquiry, even though she said she had total confidence in the internal review.

She said that unfortunately clinical errors occur in the best healthcare systems

The Labour Party said the findings of the hospital inquiry must be made public.

The party's Jan O'Sullivan said: "While I would accept that private aspects of this case must remain private, any findings of an investigation that indicates that there may have been systems failures or other shortcomings, should be published.

"The parents of this child, as well as parents of other children who are being treated for similar conditions in the hospital, need reassurance that this kind of incident does not recur."

Police officer accused of sex assaults also faces animal cruelty charges

Gannett News Service • April 23, 2008

MOUNT HOLLY — New charges involving sex acts with cows have been brought against a Moorestown policeman who last week was charged with sexually assaulting three girls.

Officer Robert Melia Jr., 38, of Moorestown, remained in the Burlington County Jail on Tuesday with bail of $510,000.

Superior Court Judge John Almeida raised the bail $10,000 as a result of the addition of four charges of cruelty to animals, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

Kevin Morgan, an assistant county prosecutor, said in court Tuesday that the new charges involve sex acts with cows between June and December 2006 at an undisclosed site in Southampton.

Melia and his former girlfriend, Heather Lewis, are charged with three counts of
aggravated sexual assault and one count of criminal sexual contact on three girls at his home between 2003 and 2006. Lewis, 32, of the 200 block of Stocktons Bridge Road, Pemberton Township, is in jail on $300,000 bail.

Drunk Darth Vader's Jedi assault 

A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.

Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.

Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted "Darth Vader!"

Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him."

In the event, Hughes turned up and the case at Holyhead magistrates court resumed.

The court heard he had jumped over a garden wall wearing the bin bag before the attack.

Outlining the case againt Hughes, prosectutor Nia Lloyd said Barney Jones had recently started the Jedi church in Holyhead - in honour of the Star Wars' good knights.

It had about 30 members locally and "thousands worldwide".

The cousins had been filming themselves playing with light sabres in the garden before the attack.

Hughes admitted two charges of common assault.

The court heard he has a "chronic alcohol problem" and had drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine.

Mrs Lloyd said: "He was wearing a black bin bag and a cape and had a metal crutch in his hand."

Mrs Lloyd said he was shouting "Darth Vader".

She added that Hughes hit Barney Jones over the head with the crutch, leaving him with a headache.

He then laughed and hit Michael Jones in the thigh, causing bruising.

Both men were left upset by the incident and they believed it was pre-planned.

She added that the pair believe "very strongly in the church and their religion".

Hughes could not remember the incident and only realised what had happened when he read about it in local newspapers, the court told.

Defending, Frances Jones said alcohol was "ruining his life" and he had no idea where he got the crutch from.

The court head Hughes had previous convictions, including affray, assault and disorderly behaviour.

The judge warned Hughes that jail remained a possibility before adjourning for pre-sentence reports until 13 May.

Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital


By Joe Bavier

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.

"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.

Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.

"I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.

"But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'," he said.

Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.

"It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny," said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.

Bulgarian farmer marries goat

Stoil Panayotov, a Bulgarian farmer who was luckless in love and had divorced his third wife, got married to a goat last March at a market in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, according to the Sun online newspaper.
As the newspapers says, Stoil first married when he was 18, but problems started when his mother and bride fell out. After a short second marriage, he married his third wife and stayed with her for nine years.
His third wife was not able to provide him with a child and he decided to quit their relationship.
"The goat has given birth to three kids and my wife to none" Panayotov explains. "So this deal was more profitable to the goat owner, I got a second-hand goat and he got a brand new wife".

Title: Woman lives in closet for a year
Post by: stephenite on May 30, 2008, 06:32:39 AM
A Japanese man puzzled by food mysteriously disappearing from his refrigerator got a shock when he discovered a woman had been living in his home for months without permission, police said today.

The 57-year-old man who lives alone - or so he thought - in the western city of Fukuoka installed a security camera and called the police when he saw images of someone walking around his home while he was out.

"We searched the house in the man's presence. We found the woman in the closet," said a local police spokesman.

The woman, named as 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa, was found in a flat storage space only just big enough for a person to squeeze into lying down.

She had sneaked a mattress and several plastic bottles into the cubby hole, police said, adding that the women had been arrested.

"She told police that she had nowhere to live," the spokesman said. "She seems to have lived there for about a year, but not all the time."

It is unclear how she managed to enter the home undetected. Police suspect she might have been closet-hopping, moving from house to house.

THE HANGMAN
EXCLUSIVE Soham bodies farmer exports mobile gallows
By Roger Insall

A FARMER whose land was used to hide the bodies of murdered s choolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells is selling mobile execution gallows to terror regimes around the world.

David Lucas, 58, and his partner Brian Rutterford were horrified when the corpses of the Soham 10-year-olds were found in a ditch on their farm.

But the pair's pity and compassion does not extend to the victims who dangle from gallows which they export to brutal dictators like Zimabwe's President Mugabe and Libya's Colonel Gadaffi.

Bearded Lucas, 58, whose farm includes land near Lakenheath airbase, Suffolk, where evil Ian Huntley hid his victims, boasted to a People undercover investigator: "I guarantee these will do the job. You can get rid of as many as five people at a time.

"Each unit has five individual gallows and the beauty of it is you can use it over and over again."

Lucas converts covered lorry trailers into mobile execution chambers complete with trapdoors and ultra-strong nooses.

He also builds traditional hangman's scaffolds on platforms of solid oak and redwood. The cynical farmer explained: "These are used mainly as deterrents for outdoor public executions. They cost £12,000 each.

"I don't have one around to show you at the moment but I have got an oak one on order and am just sorting out the paperwork on that. They take me just over a week to make."

Posing as a representative of the Mugabe government, our investigator met Lucas at his gruesome death "factory" at Eldon Farm near Mildenhall, Suffolk.

At the entrance visitors are greeted by some of his grisly work - a towering mock-up of a hangman's gallows.

We told him we wanted new gallows for provincial prisons in Zimbabwe and admired British craftsmanship. Lucas said proudly: "I have two systems - the traditional platform gallows or the mobile units which I have designed myself."

He pointed to an articulated lorry trailer and said: "I build trap doors into the bottom and you can have them with the sides open so people can see.

"Depending on the length of the trailer you could use five or six gallows at the same time.

"They are expensive but you can use them over and over again. Say you only have one execution team - that's all you would need.

"They could travel around from village to village or prison to prison. It could save a lot of time." Lucas added: "They still use these in places like Libya and a few years ago I did some business with Zimbabwe so I know what your problems are."

There are no legal restrictions on the export of execution equipment from Britain but the EU plans to outlaw it from July 30.

When we confronted Lucas about his gruesome trade yesterday he said defiantly: "I'm not doing anything illegal.

"There is a demand for these gallows. I know not everyone will agree with what I'm doing but business is business."

His partner Rutterford - who helped discover the bodies of the Soham girls - told us: "I own Eldon Farm and have been helping David with the sale of gallows. We have a number of foreign countries who buy them."

Amnesty International's UK Director Kate Allen said: "It's appalling that a British company is apparently selling gallows to Mugabe's government.

"It makes a mockery of the UK's efforts to oppose the death penalty around the world."

QuoteA Brownsville man is behind bars in a Mexican jail.

Mexican police say 29-year-old Jesse Campos allegedly drove into a group of people participating in a bicycle race over the weekend.

One person is dead and several are injured in the Sunday morning accident.

Mexican police report that the Brownsville man was driving a 1989 Grand Marquis between Matamoros and Playa Bagdad Sunday morning.

Campos allegedly ran his car into a group of cyclists participating in the third annual Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour.

People from both sides of the border participated in the event.

El Bravo de Matamoros reported that 30-year-old Brownsville cyclist Alejandro Alvarez was killed in the accident.

The Mexican newspaper reported that the following people were taken to the Alfredo Pumarejo General Hospital in Matamoros:

    * Alejandro Salvador Tamez Guerra, 18 years old
    * Juan Machaita, 38 years old
    * Guadalupe Sustaita Martínez, 16 years old

Authorities told Mexican media that Campos admitted to using cocaine prior to the accident.

Seven dead in Tokyo knife attack 

Witnesses say the attacker drove a truck into a crowd in Akihabara
A man armed with a knife has killed seven people and injured 11 others in central Tokyo, Japanese media say.

The incident occurred in the Akihabara district, a busy shopping area known as Electric Town that is popular with young people and tourists.

A suspect, said to be 25-year-old Tomohiro Kato, has been arrested.

Police spokesman Jiro Akaogi told reporters: "The suspect said he came to Akihabara to kill people. He said he was tired of life".

The scene of the stabbing in Tokyo

Earlier reports suggested Mr Kato could have been a gangster.

The dead include six men, ranging in age from 19 to 74, and a 21-year-old woman, Kyodo News said.

Reports say the suspect drove a rented truck into a crowd in the early afternoon and then began stabbing people at random.

James Slaymaker, a British man working in Japan, got to the area shortly after the stabbings. He described the scene to BBC News:

"As I walked down the street, I noticed there were a lot of police cars. I noticed there was a guy literally just lying there with tape on his eyes and blood pouring out of the side of him. I was appalled.

  When I walked round the corner I saw a woman lying on the floor

Kamran Zaffar, eyewitness


Eyewitness: 'Bodies on road'
In pictures: Tokyo stabbing

"I could see carnage - bodies everywhere. Some were conscious, some were not, lying by the side of the road and on the road. There were people everywhere, a lot of onlookers."

Another eyewitness told Kyodo News: ''The man jumped on top of a man he had hit with his vehicle and stabbed him with a knife many times. Walking toward Akihabara station, he slashed nearby people at random.''

Crime increase

 

The Akihabara district specialises in electronic gadgets and video games and is especially popular with people interested in comic books and distinctive fashion.

It is also home to one of the first shops to sell personal robots and robotics. The area is often crowded on weekends.

Once rare in Japan, there has been an increase in knife crime in recent years.

In January, a 16-year-old school boy armed with two kitchen knives injured several people on a crowded shopping street in Tokyo's Shinagawa Ward.

The Akihabara attack occurred on the same date that a man with a history of mental illness went through a primary school in 2001, stabbing children at random.

Eight children died and 15 pupils and teachers were injured in that attack, in a school in Ikeda, in the city of Osaka.

from the BBC

Plymouth Argyle goalkeeper Luke McCormick has been charged after two brothers died in a crash on the M6.

Arron and Ben Peak, aged 10 and eight, died when the vehicle they were travelling in crashed with his Range Rover in Staffordshire on Saturday.

Mr McCormick has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, driving with excess alcohol and driving without insurance.

The boys' mother, Amanda Peak, said their family was "devastated".

Their 37-year-old father Philip is in hospital in a serious but stable condition with fractures to his neck and back, broken ribs, bruising and swelling to his lungs.

He was driving the Toyota Previa people carrier when the crash happened between junctions 15 and 16 of the southbound motorway near Keele services at shortly before 0545 BST.

The brothers and their father had been travelling from their home in Partington, Manchester, to Silverstone racing circuit for a day out.

'Parent's nightmare'

Mrs Peak, 30, was too distressed to speak at a police press conference on Sunday.

A statement was read out on behalf of her and her husband by police family liaison officer PC Andy Kavanagh.

It said Arron "loved life, especially football, at which he excelled, and Ben was a happy, loving son and brother".

"No parent should ever have to go through the nightmare that we have gone through.


The brothers and their father were going for a day out

"Nothing will ever compensate us for the loss we are feeling."

They appealed to be left alone to come to terms with the "life-changing event that has devastated our lives".

Three other people in the vehicle were all released from hospital on Saturday and returned home.

Police appealed on Sunday for anyone who saw the "manner of driving" of either vehicle before the collision or can help with the movements of anybody involved in the incident in the previous 24 or 48 hours.

Police said it appeared the collision had happened in lane two when the Toyota left the carriageway on the near side, going down an embankment and colliding with trees.

Mr McCormick was remanded in custody to appear before Fenton magistrates at 1000 BST on Monday.

This made me go WTF.

The neighbours -

I came home on friday after the weeks work looking forward to getting the work clothes off the back, changed, and away down the pub for a few pints. While looking out the back bedroom window i notice the neighbours wife away down the end of their garden cutting briars and brambes nettles etc. I was thinking, ah well nice to see them doing a bit as the back end of their garden was a holy show. So yer woman picks up a big armful of what she has cut down takes a few steps across the garden and fucks the stuff she has cut over the fence into my garden. So im there waiting for Jeremy beadle to arise from the dead, and she goes and does it again. I walked downstairs and down the garden and says to her can you please explain to me why you are throwing this shit into my garden. So she lets on as usual that she cant speak English and calls the son out of the house. So i ask him "why is your mother throwing this stuff into my garden", "she didnt" was the reply. So with steam out the ears at this point i point out that a) i want a word with your father b) if it happens again i will call whatever authority necessary to get it sorted (believe me i'd say any type of authorities around them would but the willies up them) and c) get the 3 fence panels that border my property but are their responsibility fixed as they have been blown down since feckin January. In the meantime i went back into the house and their she was pulling it back out of my garden into theirs and she put it all in the green recycling bags (like your supposed to) and leave it out for collection.
So the father lands back in his taxi and i collared him. I just said "look i hate to have to say this because i find it embarrasing but your wife seems to think that its ok to throw rubbish in my garden, and if you fixed the fence like you were asked to 3 months ago then she would be less likely to do it." Yer man didnt utter a word in her defence, he just went into his garden and gave out a bit in whatever language it is, so i dont know what was said. Then they proceeded to mow their lawn but mowed around a 13 foot trampoline leaving grass a foot high underneath it. ::)
This is just the latest in a bizarre list of shit they have done.
What can i do?

Baby born with penis on back

THIS is the picture that will shock parents around the world - a baby born with a second penis on his BACK.

The tot was born to farmer dad Li Jun, 30, and his unnamed wife, who live in Hejian city in central China's Henan province.

Surgery

But he was rushed to Tianjin Childrens' Hospital on May 27 for surgery to remove his extra manhood.

The rare condition, the first for Tianjin Childrens' Hospital, is called fetus in fetu (FIF).

Doctors, who spent over three hours removing the extra penis on June 6, said he was fine following surgery.

From The Sunday Times June 29, 2008


A baby boy had both legs broken by supporters of President Robert Mugabe to punish his father for being an opposition councillor in Zimbabwe.

Blessing Mabhena, aged 11 months, was seized from a bed and flung down with force as his mother, Agnes, hid from the thugs, convinced that they were about to murder her.

She heard one of them say, "Let's kill the baby", before Blessing was hurled on to a bare concrete floor.

Blessing, who may never be able to walk properly, was one of the youngest victims of atrocities against the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change in the run-up to last Friday's sham presidential election.

As Mugabe, 84, the only candidate in the election, prepared to be sworn in as president today, it emerged that his forces of terror plan to pulverise opponents to prevent them from ever threatening his leading Zanu-PF again.

Leaked minutes of the Joint Operations Command (JOC), which has orchestrated the violence since Mugabe lost a first round of voting in March, revealed that it is willing to wipe out opposition supporters.

A 10,000-strong youth militia loyal to the Zanu-PF has been created to enforce its wishes in case regular army units refuse, according to Zimbabwean human rights agencies.

"It's a deliberate nationwide strategy to reoccupy space so all space is occupied by the Zanu of Mugabe," said Jon Stewart, a director of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Forum.

Minutes of one JOC meeting show that supporters of Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, "will all be internally displaced. The target number is two million supporters".

The plan is to brutalise people into backing Zanu-PF or fleeing the country. "They're not going to stop," said a maid in Marondera. "They're saying they'll do more beatings and killings until all the 'traitors' are flushed out."

She and her neighbours were waiting for officials to check their fingers for red ink to make sure they had voted on Friday.

Woman drink-driver caught mother in bed with her husband

By Jimmy Woulfe, Mid-West Correspondent

A GRANNY was caught in bed with her son-in-law when her daughter walked in on the lovers, Limerick District Court has been told.


Devastated mother-of-three Fiona Porter, aged 24, was stopped for drink-driving some hours later.

Even though she was off the road for a previous drink-driving offence, she avoided jail due to what Judge Aeneas McCarthy described as "mitigating circumstances".

Defence solicitor John Devane said the circumstances of the case were sad and Porter's life was shattered after she found her mother and husband in bed. She later found out they had been having an affair for years.



He said Porter now lives alone with her children, aged five, three and six months, in Moyross.

Mr Devane said he had never come into court to stand up and give such a reason for a drink-driving offence.

Porter, he said, foolishly drove with drink after she found the two persons she trusted most in bed together. Mr Devane asked that the court be as lenient as possible due to the unusual circumstances.

"This is a woman who has been betrayed by loved ones," he said. Sgt Peter Kelly of the Garda Traffic Corps told the court that he stopped a car being driven by Porter at 2.40am on June 29 last at Sexton Street North, Thomondgate. He arrested her after getting a strong smell of drink.

A breath test at Henry Street Garda station gave a reading of 73 over 100. Sgt Kelly said that at the time Porter was off the road, having been convicted of another drink-driving offence on April 22.

Mr Devane said Porter was just getting to grips with the earlier disqualification when she made the bedroom discovery after getting a bus home.

Foolishly, he said she drove off in her husband's car and decided to go drinking before being stopped.

Judge McCarthy said as she drove with drink while disqualified he would impose a four-month sentence. Due to what he said were mitigating circumstances, he suspended the sentence on condition she is of good behaviour for two years.

He fined her €100 and disqualified her from driving for six years.

Summonses alleging she had no insurance and no licence were struck out

Boy slashes woman over cigarette 
A woman had her arm slashed by a 10-year-old boy after she refused to give him a cigarette.

The woman, in her 50s, was confronted by the boy and his friend outside Selhurst railway station in south London on Wednesday.

He tried to grab a lit cigarette from her mouth and attacked her when she shouted back at the pair.

Passers-by rushed to her aid as she bled heavily from the wound which was inflicted with a craft knife or razor.

CCTV studied

Officers are studying CCTV from the station and have taken statements from witnesses over the incident.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the boys had been described as black and about ten years old.

"We are investigating an assault on a woman that occurred at around 2.20pm on Wednesday July 23 outside Selhurst railway station," the spokesman added.

"The victim, a woman aged in her 50s, received a cut to her arm after two boys attempted to steal a cigarette from her mouth."

Man slashed transvestite's throat after sex, court hears

A then homeless man who had sex with a Filipino transvestite but then slashed his throat after discovering he was a man has had his sentence adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Vincent Murtagh (aged 23), now of Stanhope Green, Dublin 7 had been stopped on Dame Street while carrying a butcher's knife the day before he met the victim and told gardaí he wanted to threaten someone he had earlier had a fight with because he didn't want him "to think I was a f**got".

The victim, a male nurse, was returning from Zanzibar Nightclub, dressed in a miniskirt, high heels and makeup when he met Murtagh on June 23, 2007.

The two talked before the nurse invited Murtagh into an apartment where they engaged in oral and anal sex after which the victim revealed he was a man.

Murtagh left the next morning when the victim's friends arrived for that Saturday's Gay Pride Parade.

Garda Damien Egan told prosecuting counsel, Mr Vincent Heneghan BL, that the nurse was having a bath wen Murtagh returned on June 27. He let him in and resumed his bath while Murtagh watched pornography on the computer and masturbated.

Gda Egan said Murtagh went to the shops to buy beer and the victim sat and watched tennis on the computer but a short time later he heard someone sneaking up on him before his neck was slashed.

Murtagh cut him a second time as the victim screamed and grabbed at him, then slipped and fell in a pool of blood as Murtagh left the apartment.

Gda Egan said the Filipino nurse shouted out the window for help and tried to ring a ambulance but couldn't stop shaking while he wrapped a towel around his neck to stop the bleeding.

Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later and took him to hospital where he was given four pints of blood. Several arteries and veins had been cut and the doctor considered it a life-threatening wound because if the victim hadn't used the towel he would have died of a cardiac arrest. He had recovered with just a scar to his neck.

Murtagh went straight from the apartment to Store Street Garda Station and told gardaí what had happened. He brought them to the scene just as the victim was being put in the ambulance.

Defence counsel, Mr Patrick Marrinan SC, said the victim was such "a most convincing female" that the ambulance crew thought they were dealing with a lady.

Mr Marrinan said Murtagh was confused and "in great turmoil" after his first encounter with the victim and in the intervening days had signed himself into St James Hospital as a suicide risk.

Gda Liam Graynor said he stopped Murtagh on Dame Street on June 22, the day before he met the victim. He was running through traffic carrying a butcher's knife he had taken from a hot dog stand.

Gda Graynor said he chased him and there was a struggle before Murtagh was arrested and brought to Pearse Street Garda Station where he said he had asked a man for a cigarette but was told to "f**k off".

He said he squared up to this man "so he wouldn't think I was a f**got" but was hit in the face and he was going to find him again so "he wouldn't think I was soft".

Gda Graynor said Murtagh was drunk and had taken prescription drugs. He said he seemed very remorseful and had thanked gardaí for "stopping him from doing something a lot more serious".

Mr Marrinan said Murtagh was homeless at the time and was having problems with drugs. He said both of his parents had died as a result of heroin abuse.

Judge Desmond Hogan adjourned sentencing to allow the preparation of probation and psychiatric reports and remanded Murtagh on continuing bail.

QuoteThe victim, a male nurse, was returning from Zanzibar Nightclub, dressed in a miniskirt, high heels and makeup when he met Murtagh on June 23, 2007.

The two talked before the nurse invited Murtagh into an apartment where they engaged in oral and anal sex after which the victim revealed he was a man.

How did he do that without realising he was a man  ???

Fecking sick world we live in - From BBC

Man decapitated on Canadian bus 
 
A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies has killed and decapitated a fellow passenger.

An eyewitness said the victim was stabbed 50 or 60 times by the man sitting next to him, who then severed his head with a large knife.

The bus made an emergency stop to allow passengers to escape and the driver barred the door from the outside while waiting for the police to arrive.

The bus was travelling from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Greyhound Canada said there were 37 passengers and a driver aboard the bus.

"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton told CBC television.

"The attacker was standing up right over the top of the guy with a large hunting knife - a survival, Rambo knife - holding the guy and continually stabbing him... in the chest area," Mr Caton added.

'Like a robot'

The attack continued as passengers fled the bus and waited for police on a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

"He calmly walks up to the front [of the bus] with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Mr Caton said.

"There was no rage in him ... It was just like he was a robot or something," he added.

A man was taken into custody by police at around 0100 (0700 GMT) on Wednesday night, according to reports.

Mr Caton said he and a truck driver helped the bus driver bar the bus door to prevent the attacker from leaving.

When the attacker tried to drive the bus away, the driver disabled the vehicle.

"Some people were puking, some people were crying, other people were in shock ... everybody was running, screaming off the bus," Mr Caton said.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said only that a "major incident" took place on the bus as it drove along the Trans-Canada Highway en route to Winnipeg from Edmonton.

Other passengers said that the attacker and his victim were sitting at the back of the bus and the victim, described as around 20 years old, was listening to music through headphones.

The attack appeared to be unprovoked and it is thought the killer did not know his victim.

Man hijacked by 'hitchhikers'

A man was hijacked by "hitchhikers" at Graskop in Mpumulanga, police said on Tuesday.

Police spokesperson Abie Khoabane said Fanas Motlule, 43, who was driving a VW Jetta offered a lift to a man and a woman who were hitchhiking along Graskop Road on Monday.

"After driving down the road for a while, the lady asked him to stop the car at a certain spot, because she wanted to get out of the vehicle.

"When he stopped the car, a third man who had been waiting on the road then pointed a gun at him."

Khoabane said the man told Motlule to get out of his vehicle, and then stole his cell phone, cash, and his driver's license, while the other two waited in the car.

"All three suspects then drove off, leaving him stranded, and are still at large."

Khoabane said police appealed to motorists not to give lifts to hitchhikers.

Police were investigating, he said.

There's one of those Brithday card shops near where I live.
I was walking down past it on thrusday at around 3pm and spotted a sign on the window saying "closing down sale" and a queue of maybe 15 people queued up outside it.  Curiosity got the better of me and I went over - the shop was shut and there wasn't much stuff left inside it.  Thought it very odd that people were queuing up for a closing down sale in Birthdays!
Walked past it on Friday evening and there was more people queued up outside it!! (Different people from Thursday) - shop was still shut and some stock left inside it.
Went past it yesterday again - no one around it - went over and looked in the window and it was completely cleared out.

Surely people weren't queuing for a closing down sale in Birthdays?  ???

What a crock of shite. They are herd animals, so they'll generally all head the same way, whatever direction that is, unless one of them decides to walk backwards for the craic. But when they are at rest, cattle, sheep or whatever all face whatever direction the nearest nice tuft of grass is.

Are these eejits spending money on this?

Soup leak forces Ryanair plane to land

A plane was forced to land when a passenger had an extreme allergic reaction to a leaking jar of mushroom soup, it was revealed today.

The soup fell on the man from an overhead locker on a Ryanair flight to Dublin from Budapest.

He reportedly suffered allergic swelling in his neck and struggled to breathe, forcing staff to seek emergency medical treatment.

The bizarre incident happened on Monday, the same day as another Ryanair flight had to make an emergency landing in Limoges after suffering a sudden loss of cabin pressure.

And in a week of mid-air incidents, a Thomsonfly plane full of holidaymakers flying to Gatwick had to return to Croatia after a fire broke out in an oven only moments after take-off.

Ryanair said the jar contained a "vegetable oil/mushroom soup type substance".

A spokeswoman said: "It is procedure when a passenger requires medical attention to divert to the nearest airport. The cabin crew and pilot take that decision."

The Boeing 737, which was carrying nearly 800 passengers, diverted to Frankfurt Hahn airport in Germany where doctors could treat the man.

The plane was delayed for two hours before continuing its journey.

On the same day passengers feared for their lives as another Ryanair flight, going from Bristol to Spain, suffered a sudden drop in cabin pressure forcing the pilot to drop to 8,000 feet.

It landed safely at Limoges where sixteen passengers received medical treatment.

The Thomsonfly plane took off from Pula airport in Croatia yesterday and had to return after the fire broke out in a galley oven used to heat in-flight meals.

The plane was forced to turn around almost immediately after take off and was only in the air for seven minutes.

A spokesman said the fire was "immediately contained" and there was "no danger to passengers or crew".

A replacement plane was flown from Manchester and the passengers delayed for eight hours.

I didn't know if this was a story for the grinds my gears thread or what the f**k but as it was a "what the f**k"  :o I'll put it here.

Was in a chinese restaurant the other night - really nice place, great grub etc - it's like an old house convertedin to the restaurant so you've got people eating in different rooms basically - very nice but the only downside is you can hear every word that is said. 
But anyway, me and someone I know was put in one section and there was only a couple (must have been in their 40s) there and they've a child with them that was no more than 7!
We were only sitting and they were aruging about who's parents visit more and when they last seen them etc but then they started to give the child a lecture on being the best! It started off with the mother going: "you can't rely on us, the only person you can rely on is yourself, we'll not always be around, you need to work hard and be successful"
wee girl: "I do work hard" (getting distressed)
mother: "no you don't, why is it that I have to tell you every evening to do your homework, you should come home and do it, you need to do extra work"
wee girl close to tears
mother:  "if you worked hard enough you'd be the top of the class, zoey isn't that clever but she works hard, if you worked as hard as her you'd be the best".
Wee girl: (crying at this stage) "I do work hard"
mother: "working hard isn't good enough, you need to be the best"
Father:  "you need to be more motivated"
Wee girl: "ok I'll try harder"

If anyone has ever seen "Parenthood" it was very similar to a scene in that!
Anyway that passed and they started to talk about the missing spare keys which, in minutes, turned in to a row because they were lost and he didn't put them in some bowl, she then near swung for him because he'd his finger in his mouth!

The weegirl then burst in to tears - bawling - mother asked her what was wrong and she says "I hate it when you argue" to which the mother responded with:
"that's pathetic, stop being so pathetic"  :o  :o  :o ...."if it's not working we'll just get joint custody of you"  :o

The child was no more than 7!  These were not chavs, these were middle aged, well dressed people - absoloute idiots who in the space of a hour had about 3 rows and verbally abused their daughter knowing that two strangers could hear every word they said.

mother: "working hard isn't good enough, you need to be the best"
Father:  "you need to be more motivated"
Wee girl: "ok I'll try harder"

If anyone has ever seen "Parenthood" it was very similar to a scene in that!
Anyway that passed and they started to talk about the missing spare keys which, in minutes, turned in to a row because they were lost and he didn't put them in some bowl, she then near swung for him because he'd his finger in his mouth!

The weegirl then burst in to tears - bawling - mother asked her what was wrong and she says "I hate it when you argue" to which the mother responded with:
"that's pathetic, stop being so pathetic"  :o  :o  :o ...."if it's not working we'll just get joint custody of you"  :o

The child was no more than 7!  These were not chavs, these were middle aged, well dressed people - absoloute idiots who in the space of a hour had about 3 rows and verbally abused their daughter knowing that two strangers could hear every word they said.

I didn't know if this was a story for the grinds my gears thread or what the f**k but as it was a "what the f**k"  :o I'll put it here.

Was in a chinese restaurant the other night - really nice place, great grub etc - it's like an old house convertedin to the restaurant so you've got people eating in different rooms basically - very nice but the only downside is you can hear every word that is said. 
But anyway, me and someone I know was put in one section and there was only a couple (must have been in their 40s) there and they've a child with them that was no more than 7!
We were only sitting and they were aruging about who's parents visit more and when they last seen them etc but then they started to give the child a lecture on being the best! It started off with the mother going: "you can't rely on us, the only person you can rely on is yourself, we'll not always be around, you need to work hard and be successful"
wee girl: "I do work hard" (getting distressed)
mother: "no you don't, why is it that I have to tell you every evening to do your homework, you should come home and do it, you need to do extra work"
wee girl close to tears
mother:  "if you worked hard enough you'd be the top of the class, zoey isn't that clever but she works hard, if you worked as hard as her you'd be the best".
Wee girl: (crying at this stage) "I do work hard"

Demi Moore in Bizarre Breast Milk Incident

And no, that's not the title of her latest film. And no, this isn't a story from the National Enquirer.

It is a story from The Sun, however. The tabloid's reporting that Christopher Ciccone - yes, Madonna's brother and the writer of the recent tell-all book about her - once witnessed Demi Moore lactating. In public. Over his lesbian friends. Go, as they say, figure.

"We went out and Demi was dancing up on me and humping me from behind. She was lactating at the time and she was squirting breast milk at my lesbian friends," reveals Christopher. "My friend Michelle called me the next morning and asked me: 'How do I get breast milk out of my black dress?' I replied: 'How the f*** would I know? Call Demi!'"

Erm, well, indeed. Or possibly: call the person who dry-cleaned Monica Lewinksy's dress that time. Either way, don't you just hate it when people lactate all over your clothes at parties? I know I do.

Elephant cured of drug addiction 

Asian elephants are considered an endangered species
An Asian elephant that became addicted to heroin after being fed bananas spiked with the drug is to return home after undergoing a detox programme.

The four-year-old animal, called Xiguang, received methadone injections for a year at five times the human dosage, state media said.

It was illegally captured by traders in 2005 in south-west China.

When police arrested the traders and freed the elephant, it was found to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

The elephant's eyes kept streaming and he made continuous trumpeting noises, the Beijing News newspaper's website reported.

It is thought that the traders fed the elephant bananas laced with heroin to capture and control it.

Xiguang was sent to a wild animal protection centre on Hainan island in south-west China for rehab, the official Xinhua new agency said

He is expected to arrive at a wildlife park in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, on Saturday.

The Asian elephant is an endangered species, with only 25,600-32,750 left in the wild, according to the WWF conservation group.

Town freedom for minister blocked 

Mr Armstrong received death threats from loyalist paramilitaries
A clergyman forced out of Limavady in the 1980s will not be granted the freedom of the borough, after unionist councillors defeated a motion.

Reverend David Armstrong left the town after a backlash from within his Presbyterian church over his decision to shake hands with a Catholic priest.

He received loyalist death threats over his Christmas message of goodwill to Catholic counterpart Fr Kevin Mullen.

The vote for the SDLP motion was 8-6, but a two-thirds majority was needed.

After leaving the town, Mr Armstrong retrained as an Anglican minister and is now based at a Church of Ireland parish in County Cork.


In the name of god what are these guys at?

My wife is a friend of Reverend Armstrong, he lives near us and we met him through a neighbour who is a member of his congregation.  A more pleasant kind man you will not find.  He is helping my wife organise a concert for school children in the Cork Opera house and his name among the people on the ground in community relations is well repected, so never worry what the bitters might think.

He would find it extremely amusing that he is the topic of discussion on a GAA board!

another bad parenting story? who o why do people continue to do this?

A two-year-old has been taken into the care of social services after being found alone during a house fire.

The boy was rescued from a first floor room after firefighters were called to a maisonette in Deptford, south London, on Friday morning.

The child was taken to hospital for medical checks, before being taken away to be cared for by social services.

The boy's mother, said to be in her 40s, was arrested and later bailed on suspicion of child neglect.

She must return to a south London police station in December.

The fire brigade was called after the smoke alarm was activated.

The BBC's Barnie Choudhury has been inside the maisonette and said there is no sign of a major fire.

A 45-year-old man, thought to be a member of the public who tried to get into the maisonette to help the child, was treated in hospital for the effects of breathing smoke.

The fire, which damaged the ground floor of the home, was brought under control in 20 minutes, firefighters said.

"I ask for the indulgence of the House, given that we need clarity on this issue. Of the savings of €100 million, €86 million is for GPs and €30 million is for pharmacists."

this brought a tear to my eye, and made me very angry. This comes with a caution  :'(

Baby killer given life sentence 

Baby Amy had been treated cruelly in the weeks before her death
A father who murdered his baby daughter by snapping her spine will spend at least 22 years in prison.

James Howson, 25, was given a life sentence at Leeds Crown Court for the murder of 16-month-old Amy at their home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

He was convicted of murder on Tuesday after a jury heard he held Amy over his knee and broke her back in two.

Amy's mother Tina Hunt, 26, was given a 12-month suspended sentence after admitting child cruelty.

Sentencing Howson, the judge, Mrs Justice Cox, said: "This was, in my view, a chilling and brutal attack.

"The bone was completely dislocated, resulting in spinal shock, rapid unconsciousness - mercifully - and to death."

'Truly horrific'

During the trial Howson blamed Ms Hunt, saying she may have been responsible for Amy's death.

But the judge said: "The jury was satisfied, on the clearest of evidence, that it was you who deliberately inflicted truly horrific injuries upon your defenceless little daughter, Amy, from which she died within a few hours."

The judge also detailed other occasions in the weeks leading up to the murder in December last year when Howson "cruelly and deliberately assaulted Amy", leaving her with multiple fractures to her arms and legs.


The judge said Howson had shown no remorse

The court heard how Howson had a troubled history and had been violent towards women when he was young, yet he had no previous convictions.

Howson showed no emotion as he was led from the dock.

The judge said to him: "I have not seen the slightest evidence of remorse from you for what you did."

Hunt's 12-month sentence was suspended for two years.

She admitted the child cruelty charge on the basis that she did nothing to alert the authorities to her daughter's plight.

But the judge said: "Your level of culpability falls at the lowest end of the scale", after hearing how Howson completely dominated her and was often violent.

She said Hunt was also in the lowest 1% band of intelligence.

Outside court Amy's grandfather, Colin Hunt, said: "Life should mean life but what can you say? That's justice for you.

"Twenty-two years is all right but it won't bring Amy back, will it?

"I have 16 grandchildren. They are all beautiful and he's taken one away. I idolise them.

"I'm very angry. If I could have done something I would have. She was my granddaughter."

Cannibal cult mother who skinned son and made him eat his own flesh gets 9 years in jail

A cannibal cult mother who tortured her son in a locked cellar while relatives skinned him and forced him to eat his own flesh has been jailed for nine years.

Klara Mauerova, 31 - a member of a sinister religious cult and her sister Katerina led the sickening torture of her eight-year-old son Ondrej and his ten year-old brother Jakub.

A court in Brno in Czech Republic heard how relatives partially skinned Ondrej and forced him to eat his own flesh.
Enlarge    Klara Mauerova, right, has been jailed for nine years for abusing her sons

The judge also jailed Katerina, 35, for ten years for her role in the sickening abuse.

The two boys had told judges how their mother and relatives had stubbed cigarettes out on their bare skin, whipped them with belts, and tried to drown them. They were also sexually abused and forced to cut themselves with knives.

The terrified youngsters said they were kept in cages or handcuffed to tables and made to stand in their own urine for days.
Enlarge    Klara Mauerova, far left, and fellow torturer Barbara Skrlova are pictured with Klara's sons Jakub, 10, foreground, and Ondrej, 8


The sick sisters - both members of weird religious cult the Grail Movement - refused to reveal why they tortured the brothers.

But state prosecutor Zuzana Zamoravcova said: 'Their aim was to make the boys blindly serve their religious goals.'
Judge Pavel Goth said as he sentenced the women: 'Their aim was to create a person with a completely broken will. Ondrej and Jakub were repeatedly psychologically and physically tyrannised and held in locked rooms.'
Enlarge    Mauerova's sister Katerina was jailed for ten years for her part in the torture

Another defendant, 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova, was also jailed for five years for her part in the torture. Three others who took part in the abuse were also given jail terms.
Hana Basova, 28, and Jan Skrla, 25, were sentenced to seven years each while another man, Jan Turek, was jailed for five years.

Skrlova had posed as an innocent 13-year-old girl when police arrived to free the boys. She later ran away to Norway but was traced earlier this year by Czech police who brought her back to face trial.
  Barbara Skrlova, seen here in a beanie hat, is pictured after her arrest in Norway.  She posed as a 13-year-old girl to escape capture
Mauerova at first admitted abusing her children but she said she had been manipulated by her sister Katerina and Skrlova.

All three of them had been part of the Grail Movement cult which claims to have hundreds of followers in Britain as well as tens of thousands of others world wide.

The sick abuse was discovered when a neighbour installed a TV baby monitor to keep watch on his new daughter.

But it picked up the signal from an identical monitor next door showing one of the victims beaten, naked and chained in a cellar.

Mauerova had installed it so she could gloat over her victims' suffering from the comfort of her kitchen.

The defendants are expected to launch an appeal.

Sydney pub row erupts after faeces found in icecream
   


1 hr 47 mins agoSYDNEY (Reuters) – A bitter row has broken out between one of Sydney's largest tourist pubs and a family of five who accused chefs of serving human excrement in their gelato after they complained about noise during a football match.

State government food minister Ian Macdonald confirmed on Wednesday that frozen faecal matter had been found in a serving of chocolate gelato offered to placate pub patron Steve Whyte and his wife Jessica, who became "violently ill" after eating it.

"The stench went through my nostrils, I retched and spat it into the napkin," Jessica Whyte told the Daily Telegraph newspaper, recounting what local media are calling "gelati-gate."

The tainted sweet was allegedly served up at the Coogee Bay Hotel, one of Sydney's largest and most popular beachfront hotels, located just a few minutes south of Bondi Beach.

The pub has denied serving excrement to the Whyte's after they complained they were unable to hear a televised football game due to loud music, with both the chef and restaurant manager volunteering for DNA tests to prove their innocence.

Both sides have accused the other of money seeking, with the Whyte's claiming they were offered A$5,000 (2,000 pounds) in hush money by pub General Manager Tony Williams, while they in turn were accused of trying to negotiate up to A$1 million in damages.

The argument over accusations of "kitchen revenge" has shocked Australians, leading into an expected searing, gelato-friendly summer, capturing national headlines for days.

Macdonald said DNA analysis would now be done to determine if the sample was of human or animal origin as police and food authorities investigate the case.

"Obviously, we are keeping an open mind and do not want to pre-empt this investigation in any manner," he said.

The eastern Sydney hotel is standing by staff and on Tuesday said its own lab tests on the chocolate gelato tub had found no evidence of contamination.

Japanese man petitions to marry comic book wife

A JAPANESE man has enlisted hundreds of people in a campaign to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters, saying he feels more at ease in the "two-dimensional world".

Comic books are immensely popular in Japan, with some fictional characters becoming celebrities or even sex symbols.

Marriage is meanwhile on the decline as many young Japanese find it difficult to find life partners.

Taichi Takashita launched an online petition aiming for one million signatures to present to the government to establish a law on marriages with cartoon characters.

Within a week he has gathered more than 1000 signatures through.

"I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world," he wrote.

"However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorise marriage with a two-dimensional character?"

Befitting his desire to be two-dimensional, he listed no contact details, making it impossible to reach him for comment to explain if his campaign is serious or tongue-in-cheek.

But some people signing the petition are true believers.

"For a long time I have only been able to fall in love with two-dimensional people and currently I have someone I really love," one person wrote.

"Even if she is fictional, it is still loving someone. I would like to have legal approval for this system at any cost," the person wrote.

Japan only permits marriage between human men and women and gives no legal recognition to same-sex relationships.

Japan's fans of comic books, or "manga," sometimes go to extremes.

Earlier this month, a woman addicted to manga put out an online message seeking to kill her parents for asking her to throw away comic books that filled up three rooms.

Australia: No residency for boy with Down syndrome
     

Associated Press Writer Tanalee Smith, Associated Press Writer – 19 mins ago AP – German doctor Bernhard Moeller, right, with his wife Isabella and son Lukas, 13, are pictured at their ... SYDNEY, Australia – A German doctor hoping to gain permanent residency in Australia said Friday he will fight an immigration department decision denying his application because his son has Down syndrome. Bernhard Moeller came to Australia with his family two years ago to help fill a doctor shortage in a rural area of Victoria state.

His temporary work visa is valid until 2010, but his application for permanent residency was rejected this week. The immigration department said Moeller's 13-year-old son, Lukas, "did not meet the health requirement."

"A medical officer of the Commonwealth assessed that his son's existing medical condition was likely to result in a significant and ongoing cost to the Australian community," a departmental spokesman said in a statement issued Thursday by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

"This is not discrimination. A disability in itself is not grounds for failing the health requirement — it is a question of the cost implications to the community," the statement said.

Moeller said he would appeal the decision.

"We like to live here, we have settled in well, we are welcomed by the community here and we don't want to give up just because the federal government doesn't welcome my son," he told reporters.

Moeller has powerful supporters. Victorian Premier John Brumby has pledged to support the family's appeal, and federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon said Friday she would speak to the immigration minister about the case.

Roxon said the case must go through proper channels — an appeal to the Migration Review Tribunal and then the immigration minister — but that "there is a valid reason for this doctor and his family to be eligible to stay here in Australia."

"As a government, we understand the importance of having doctors working in our rural and regional communities and we support them in many ways and continue to do this," Roxon said.

Don McRae, director of clinical services at Wimmera Health Care Group, said the hospital had invested a lot of time and energy in recruiting the German specialist to Horsham, about 100 miles northwest of Melbourne.

"We were very surprised by the decision," he said of the immigration department's rejection. "It's distressing for Dr. Moeller's family and distressing for the community who have welcomed him and relied on his medical services."

Immigration Minister Chris Evans has no power to intervene in the case until the review tribunal or a court upholds the department's decision.

David Tolleson, executive director of the Atlanta-based National Down Syndrome Congress, said he was disappointed by the decision.

"What is the cost implication to the community of a doctor shortage?" Tolleson asked. "I assume the son had the same costs for the last two years and they were happy to have the family and use the dad as a doctor."

Down syndrome, caused by an extra chromosome, is characterized by mental retardation of varying degrees. Those with Down syndrome also can have other problems: Nearly half will have a heart defect, some serious enough to require surgery soon after birth.

Tolleson said that people with Down syndrome have a spectrum of abilities.

"Some need more support, some go on to graduate from college with a four-year degree, and most are somewhere in between," he said.

The immigration department said it appreciates Moeller's contribution to the community but said it must follow the relevant laws in considering residency applications.

"If we did not have a health requirement, the costs to the community and health system would not be sustainable," the statement said.

More than 150,000 migrants settled in Australia in 2007-08, the department said.

Shortages of medical practitioners in rural parts of Australia have led a number of recent government initiatives to boost the numbers of doctors and nurses nationwide.

E-mail error ends up on road sign

(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45162000/jpg/_45162744_-2.jpg)
The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."

When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the reply was what they needed.

Unfortunately, the e-mail response to Swansea council said in Welsh: "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated".

So that was what went up under the English version which barred lorries from a road near a supermarket.

"When they're proofing signs, they should really use someone who speaks Welsh," said journalist Dylan Iorwerth.

Swansea Council became lost in translation when it was looking to halt heavy goods vehicles using a road near an Asda store in the Morriston area

All official road signs in Wales are bilingual, so the local authority e-mailed its in-house translation service for the Welsh version of: "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only".

The reply duly came back and officials set the wheels in motion to create the large sign in both languages.

The notice went up and all seemed well - until Welsh speakers began pointing out the embarrassing error.

Welsh-language magazine Golwg was promptly sent photographs of the offending sign by a number of its readers.

Managing editor Mr Iorwerth said: "We've been running a series of these pictures over the past months.

"They're circulating among Welsh speakers because, unfortunately, it's all too common that things are not just badly translated, but are put together by people who have no idea about the language.

"It's good to see people trying to translate, but they should really ask for expert help.

"Everything these days seems to be written first in English and then translated.

"Ideally, they should be written separately in both languages."

A council spokeswoman said: "Our attention was drawn to the mistranslation of a sign at the junction of Clase Road and Pant-y-Blawd Road.

Other confusing signs

"We took it down as soon as we were made aware of it and a correct sign will be re-instated as soon as possible."

The blunder is not the only time Welsh has been translated incorrectly or put in the wrong place:

• Cyclists between Cardiff and Penarth in 2006 were left confused by a bilingual road sign telling them they had problems with an "inflamed bladder".

• In the same year, a sign for pedestrians in Cardiff reading 'Look Right' in English read 'Look Left' in Welsh.

• In 2006, a shared-faith school in Wrexham removed a sign which translated the Welsh for staff as "wooden stave".

• Football fans at a FA Cup tie between Oldham and Chasetown - two English teams - in 2005 were left scratching their heads after a Welsh-language hoarding was put up along the pitch. It should have gone to a match in Merthyr Tydfil.

• People living near an Aberdeenshire building site in 2006 were mystified when a sign apologising for the inconvenience was written in Welsh as well as English.

QuoteA British woman is filing for divorce after discovering her husband has been virtually philandering in Second Life .

28-year-old Amy Taylor cited unreasonable behaviour in the petition for divorce, claiming that she had walked in on her husband having sex with another woman.

On the computer. In a game.

In an ironic twist to the tale, Taylor met (estranged) hubby David Pollard, in a chatroom back in 2003, when an online romance blossomed into marriage, leading her to up sticks from London to move down to the wilds of Cornwall.

"I went mad - I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Amy said, of finding her feckless hubby having pretend sex in a game with a stranger.

"I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned."

"The solicitor wasn't at all surprised - she said it was her second divorce case involving Second Life that week," she added.

Amy's Second Life alter-ego was called Laura Skye. Pollard's was called Dave Barmy. Amy has now met a new man. In World Of Warcraft .

TechRadar is filing this news under the 'could not make this sh*t up'...

Albino girl killed for body parts 

Many people with albinism are living in fear in Tanzania
A six-year-old albino girl in Burundi has been found dead with her head and limbs removed, in the latest killing linked to ritual medicine.

Albinos in the region have been targeted because of a belief peddled by witchdoctors that their body parts can be used for magic potions.

The girl, who was attacked on Sunday, was the sixth person with albinism to be killed in Burundi since September.

There have also been a number of attacks in neighbouring Tanzania.

The latest attack took place in Burundi's eastern province of Ruyigi.

The BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge in Burundi said the child and her family had only just returned to their family home.

Armed attackers broke into the family home and tied up the girl's parents before shooting her in the head, local officials say.

They had been among a group of about 50 people with albinism to have fled to a provincial centre because they feared for her safety.

The head of the Burundi Albinos' Association, Kasim Kazungu, says people with albinism had not suffered any discrimination until other Burundians heard about the lucrative trade in albino body parts in neighbouring Tanzania.

Last week, police in south-western Tanzania arrested a man who was attempting to sell his albino wife to Congolese traders.

Two mothers in western Tanzania were also attacked with machetes after gangs failed to find their albino children.

Michael Jackson 'converts to Islam and changes name to Mikaeel'

(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01115/Jackson-bahrain_1115148c.jpg)
Michael Jackson wore an abaya, a traditional Arab women's veil, in Bahrain

The singer, who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, converted to Islam in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles.

He is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated.

According to The Sun, the ceremony took place while Jackson, 50, was recording an album at the home of Steve Porcaro, a keyboard player who composed music on his Thriller album.

The former Jackson 5 star was counselled by David Wharnsby, a Canadian songwriter, and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who have both converted.

A source said Jackson had appeared a "bit down" and added: "They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

"An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief."

Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday's conversion in 1989.

"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful," said Friday.

"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.

"I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam.

"He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much."

QuoteA man caught near Nobbys Beach with his penis in a pasta sauce jar led police on a 20 kmh car chase, Newcastle Local Court heard yesterday.

Police drew their weapons when they suspected Keith Roy Weatherley, 46, was armed.

Instead, they found him partially clothed with his genitals in a jar, a police statement said.

Weatherley, of Promontory Way, North Arm Cove, attracted attention parked in a no-stopping zone before noon on October 26.

Police believed Weatherley was doing something with his hands in his lap and thought that he might have a weapon.

Weatherley saw the police and drove away, despite them flashing their lights.

The chase lasted five to 10 minutes, with a top speed of just 20 kmh, before Weatherley was stopped at Centenary Drive, Newcastle. He refused to leave the car.

Four officers used batons and capsicum spray to remove him.

They found a 750-millilitre jar around his penis and noted that Weatherley attempted to continue "pleasuring himself in between bouts of wrestling".

A search of his car uncovered pornography, a home-made sex aid, women's stockings and a Jack Russell terrier.

Weatherley pleaded guilty to offensive behaviour, resisting police and disobeying a police direction.

Magistrate Elaine Truscott asked Weatherley, who represented himself, why he behaved the way he did.

He said he resisted police because he was trying to make himself "decent".

He was fined $600 for offensive behaviour and convicted of the other two offences without further action taken.

In the name of all that is holy how did this go on for so long? another dispressing story

Rapist father gets life sentence 
A man who fathered nine children by raping his two daughters has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 19-and-a half years.

The 56-year-old, from Sheffield, had pleaded guilty to 25 rapes and four indecent assaults.

The attacks led to 19 pregnancies, Sheffield Crown Court heard.

Ian Keates, for the Crown Prosecution Service in South Yorkshire, said: "The abuse to which the women have been subjected is beyond comprehension."

Nine of the children were born, two of whom died on the day of their birth. The other 10 pregnancies were miscarried or aborted.

Mr Keates added: "In his treatment of his victims the defendant sank to the most profound depths of depravity."

'Russian roulette'

Sheffield Crown Court was told he "took pleasure" in knowing the harm he was doing to his daughters.

The court heard that the sexual abuse started when the two sisters reached the age of eight but that they only realised the other was being abused when they became pregnant some years later.

The court heard that on a number of occasions doctors advised the women to stop having children by the same father.

On one occasion a doctor asked one of the women whether her father was also the father of her child. She flatly denied the accusation.

Nicholas Campbell QC said: "The defendant played Russian roulette as to whether there would be complications in the pregnancies and with the health of his daughters."

  When either one of his victims tried to end the sexual abuse, he threatened to kill them and their children

Nicholas Campbell QC
Their father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, threatened them with a "real hiding" if they refused to have sex with him.

Mr Campbell said: "All the defendant's children spoke of his domination over their family life. He was tall and strongly built."

Mr Campbell said the father "liked to think that he was the hard man".

He added: "All the family were frightened of him. When they heard his car pulling up outside the house, the children and their mother ran to their respective rooms.

"His younger daughter told of the frightening habit her father had of putting her head next to the flames of their gas fire and that when she struggled to get away on certain occasions she burnt her eyes.

"The sisters recall that they were kept from school when they bore physical injuries. The defendant also ensured that his family were kept isolated and that there were very few visitors to the home.

"Rather than having babysitters, the children recall being locked in their rooms when their mother and father went out."

Childline plea

On one occasion, the women called Childline and asked for a guarantee that they could keep their children, but when one was not offered they ended the call.

Mr Campbell said: "When either one of his victims tried to end the sexual abuse, he threatened to kill them and their children, and when they threatened to tell police, he said they would not be believed.

"He said that if they went public then the children would be taken away from them.

"All the time, when the sisters were challenged about the paternity of their children, they would cover it up.

"They started taking the pill. He said they should not be taking it and, just as they felt unable to avoid his sexual abuse, they obeyed.

"They spoke of his pleasure at fathering their children whilst at the same time they had fears for the welfare of these children and how they would cope."

QuoteScrap dealer with no head for heights hits two bridges

The truck which caused chaos in Dublin city centre yesterday after its driver hit two bridges while carrying a precarious high load

Friday November 28 2008

Paul Melia

A SCRAP dealer who loaded his truck with four clapped-out cars caused mayhem in Dublin city centre yesterday when he struck two bridges in the space of half an hour.

When questioned by Iarnrod Eireann engineers, the driver allegedly gave his address as being at a roundabout in Santry and turned out to be driving with no insurance.

Our pictures show the dangerous load he was carrying, with four cars precariously piled on top of each other and held in place by a steel arm and a length of rope.

The first strike happened at 2pm when staff in Iarnrod Eireann headquarters heard a loud bang as the truck hit the Amiens Street bridge. After failing to travel underneath the first time, the driver reversed and made a second attempt only to be thwarted by his high load.

"He tried to go again and all the cars behind were beeping at him saying he wouldn't make it," a rail spokeswoman said.

"He did a U-turn, which caused huge problems, and went back around on to the quays."

But when he met the Loopline bridge at the Custom House it was a case of third time unlucky. Again, he struck the bridge, but instead of reversing and trying to go another way he gunned his engine and tried unsuccessfully to squeeze his way through.

"He got out and jumped on to the cars to try and stamp them down," the spokeswoman continued.

"He made contact with the Custom House bridge and got stuck but he kept going. To be going around the city with that load is just crazy."

She added that there was no structural damage to either bridge and that the company was considering whether to take a prosecution.

Sand and gravel company Drones Stones, based in Northern Ireland, said it had sold the truck three months ago and did not know the current owner.

No arrest was made and gardai from Store Street were yesterday examining the circumstances of the collision.

Black Friday death at a Wal-Mart


By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

A crowd of shoppers trampled a store worker to death while rushing toward Black Friday specials at a Long Island Wal-Mart.

It's an appalling event, made even more newsworthy by the fact that American shoppers have been encouraged in recent days to make sure they get out and spend money to boost the economy.

Obviously, no one wanted anything like this event to occur.

Witnesses said a worker at a Wal-Mart in Long Island died after he tried to hold shoppers back before the scheduled 5 a.m. opening of the store.

But the stock clerk was run over by "unruly crowds," according to a report in the New York Daily News.

"As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him," the paper reported.

Police closed the store during the investigation of the death.

That decision probably angered a lot of shoppers but it was the proper thing to do.

Minister told of loyalist threat 

Conor Murphy said police told him of the threat
Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy has said he has been told of an attempt to murder him at the weekend.

The Newry and Armagh Sinn Féin MP said police told him loyalist paramilitaries calling themselves the Orange Volunteers were behind the attempt.

He said he was told the group claimed to have carried out the murder bid "over the weekend in the Newry area".

The police said they "do not comment on the personal security arrangements of individuals".

"Where we become aware that someone needs to review their security we take steps to inform them immediately. We never ignore anything that would put anyone at risk," a spokesman said.

Mr Murphy said that as a "long-time" member of Sinn Féin he was used to such threats, but added that it was an issue of concern for his family.

"This is part and parcel of being involved with Sinn Féin," he said.

"Unfortunately for too many of our members it has cost them their lives and I think we are always conscious of that."

QuoteBelfast Churchgoers Challenge GORGOROTH's Anti-God Message; Video Available - Dec. 4, 2008 

Video footage of a group of Free Presbyterians protesting at GORGOROTH's November 23, 2008 concert at Limelight in Belfast, Northern Ireland can be viewed below (clip shot by GORGOROTH guitarist Teloch).

The Rev David McIlveen reportedly led outraged churchgoers to the club.

Speaking to the News Letter in September 2008, McIlveen said about the Norwegian black metal band's appearance in Belfast, "This reprehensible group's influence on the young may push them to evil acts and lead to the fragmentation of family life.

"Organizers need to rethink their decision to give them concert time in Belfast as the majority of people in Northern Ireland will be highly offended by their apparent anti-God message.

"Anything that is detrimental to the Christian belief must be challenged and I will be doing that."

But Limelight publicist Ian Wilson countered: "We book bands with absolutely no concern about their religious or political viewpoints. It's just music."

According to GORGOROTH's lead singer Gaahl, the goal of black metal is to turn its practitioners into "the true Satan."

In an interview with The Observer in 2005, he said: "Black metal was never meant to reach an audience. It was purely for our own satisfaction. Something entirely self-centered.

"The shared goal was to become the true Satan; the elite human, basically. The elite are above rules."

Gaahl stoked controversy in a Canadian documentary called "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", in which he spoke out in support of a spate of arson attacks on churches linked to the Norwegian metal scene.

He said: "Church burnings and all these things are, of course, things that I support 100 percent and it should have been done much more and will be done much more in the future.

"We have to remove every trace from what Christianity and the Semitic roots have to offer this world. Satanism is freedom for the individual to grow and to become Superman. Every man who is born to be king becomes king. Every man who is born to be a slave doesn't know Satan."

Someone is going to have a good Christmas...........



Armed robbers have stolen at least 80m euros ($102m, £70m) worth of jewels from one of Paris's most prestigious jewellery shops, police say.

As many as four robbers, two disguised as women, stormed Harry Winston's store near the Champs-Elysee and stole nearly all its valuables.

They spoke French and another language, seemed well informed and knew the names of some of the staff, police say.

The store was hit by another robbery almost 14 months ago.

Armed robbers then stole an estimated 10m euros ($13m) worth of valuables.

Staff hurt

The BBC's Alasdair Sandford, in Paris, says the latest robbery is one of the country's most serious for decades.

Around 10 people and 15 staff were in the store on Thursday afternoon when the robbers entered.

Police said some were disguised as women and appeared to know their way around - addressing some of the staff by their names and identifying where stock not on display was being stored.

Once inside they brandished handguns and acted quickly and violently, rounding up staff and customers, our correspondent adds.

They overturned display cases and emptied the shop of nearly all its stock. Some of the staff were said to have been hurt in the robbery.

Harry Winston is situated on the fashionable Avenue Montaigne and attracts a wealthy clientele from around the world, from royalty to film stars.

The company said in a statement: "We are co-operating with the authorities in their investigation.

"Our first concern is the well-being of our employees."

A drink-driver who killed a father and son in a motorway crash was performing a sex act on himself minutes before the collision, a court heard.

Imran Hussain was driving at speeds of up to 120mph minutes before ploughing into the back of a Fiat Punto carrying the Proctor family, from Wakefield.

Gary Proctor, 47, and son James, 16, died in the smash on the M62 motorway near Rochdale, on 3 August.

Hussain, of Bradford, was jailed for eight years at Manchester Crown Court.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of driving with excess alcohol at a previous hearing.

The court heard that Hussain's penis was partially exposed when motorists came to his aid after the crash.

WTF indeed!

Police to return 'wedding gifts' 
 
The police have been told to return suspected stolen goods to a woman who argued they were her wedding presents.

The district judge at Londonderry Crown Court made the order on Friday.

The court heard the police seized items including 35 pairs of workmen's boots and flatscreen TVs from a house in Strathfoyle in April.

But Ellie Stokes, from Cornshell Fields in Derry, argued they were her wedding presents. She is to marry her fiance on Monday.

A computer, two oil burners and other electrical and household goods were also seized.

The police said they believed the house in Strathfoyle was a "drop-off" for stolen goods.

The district judge said the items should be returned to Miss Stokes because there was no evidence to prove they were stolen.

Miss Stokes said she did not want the boots returned

A 40-year-old US man allegedly robbed a Chicago bank using a threatening note written on the back of his own pay slip, which was printed with his name and home address.

Thomas Infante of Cary, Illinois, walked into a Fifth Third Bank at 5.50pm local time and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (sic). Give your cash or I'll shoot", according to an FBI affidavit filed on Monday. The teller gave the man about $US400.

The robber left behind his demand note, written on a torn half of the pay slip.

Investigators found the other half of the note - with Infante's name and home address - outside the bank's front doors.

The pay stub showed Infante was paid $US165.99 by Jewel Food Stores on October 23, according to the FBI.

"It's fairly unusual that we see something that specifically stupid," said FBI spokesman Ross Rice.

"But overall, we see a lot of strange bank robberies."

The bank teller described the robber as a man in his late 30s with brown eyes and no front teeth.

Investigators learned Infante may have been living at a home less than two blocks from the bank. They interviewed his brother there, who said Infante had been there earlier and had left a brown jacket behind - the same one seen in a security videotape of the robbery, according to the FBI affidavit.

His brother, shown a photograph taken from the bank security video, also identified him as the robber.

Infante was arrested at his Cary home and later admitted to the robbery, according to the FBI affidavit.

Facebook ban of breast-feeding photos sparks protests (Reuters)

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Are photographs of a mother breast-feeding her child indecent? The social networking site Facebook has sparked a massive online debate -- and protests -- after removing photos that expose too much of a mother's breast.

Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said the website takes no action over most breast-feeding photos because they follow the site's terms of use but others are removed to ensure the site remains safe and secure for all users, including children.

"Photos containing a fully exposed breast (as defined by showing the nipple or areola) do violate those terms (on obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit material) and may be removed," he said in a statement.

"The photos we act upon are almost exclusively brought to our attention by other users who complain."

But Facebook's decision to ban some breast-feeding photos has angered some users, including U.S. mother Kelli Roman whose photograph of her feeding her daughter was removed by Facebook.

Roman is one of the administrators of an online petition called "Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!" which has picked up speed in the past week after protesters organized a virtual "nurse-in" on Facebook and held a small demonstration outside Facebook's office in Palo Alto, California.

The petition has now attracted more than 80,000 names and over 10,000 comments, reigniting the old debate about the rights or wrongs of breast-feeding in public.

Organizers of the petition said some women had been warned not to repost photographs that had been removed from their pages or they would face being kicked off Facebook.

One breast-feeding mother, called Rebekah, said Facebook removed a photograph of her feeding her child.

"I find it offensive that (Facebook) can remove my photo but not the close up picture of a thonged backside I (have) seen on a friend's page or remove the "what kama sutra position are you?" quiz application," she wrote.

Facebook, which has more than 120 million members, is standing by its decision.

Schnitt said the company had called many U.S. media groups during the course of the protest to ask to place an advert related to breast-feeding that showed a woman breast-feeding her child with a fully exposed breast. None agreed.

"Obviously, a newspaper and Facebook are different things but the underlying motivation for the content policies are the same," he told Reuters

Boy guilty of shooting his mother



A 12-year-old boy has been found guilty in the United States of murdering his mother following a row over his household chores
A judge in Arizona ruled prosecutors had proved the boy acted intentionally when he shot his mother, Sara Madrid, eight times last year.

The boy, from the city of Douglas in Cochise County, was found guilty of premeditated murder.

He has not been identified because he was charged as a juvenile.

He is due to be sentenced on 23 January.

The hearing took place in Cochise County Superior Court in the southern Arizona town of Bisbee.

According to prosecutors, the shooting happened after the boy had argued with his mother over chores.

He got a pistol from a bedroom cupboard and shot Sara Madrid repeatedly.

Abuse claims

Her live-in boyfriend of 10 years, Alfonso Munoz, saw what happened and he says the boy gave him the empty gun afterwards.

Mr Munoz, who helped raise the boy, said he had taught him how to use the weapon for emergencies and self-defence.

The boy's lawyer argued the child did not intend to kill his mother, but only wanted to get back at her for abusing him.

Police said the boy told them his mother yelled at him and slapped him.

Prosecutors wanted the child tried as an adult, but the judge ruled the case should remain in juvenile court after a psychologist and psychiatrist testified that he suffered physical and verbal abuse from his mother and could be rehabilitated in the juvenile justice system.

Under Arizona law, the boy can be held only until he turns 18 years of age.

Police seek blow-up doll sex bandit

 
An Australian man broke into three adult shops, had sex with blow up dolls named "Jungle Jane" and then dumped his plastic conquests in a nearby alley, local media reported Wednesday.

"It's totally bizarre. It's a real concern that someone like that is out on the street," said one of the owners of the adult sex shops in Cairns in northern Queensland state.

"He has been taking the dolls out the back and blowing them up and using the dolls and leaving them in the alley," the owner, who gave the name of Vogue, told the Cairns Post newspaper.

Police told the Cairns Post that scientific officers had taken DNA samples, fingerprints and pictures of the crime scene.

Divorce man 'wants kidney back'

A US man divorcing his wife is demanding that she return the kidney he donated to her or pay him $1.5m (£1m) in compensation.

Dr Richard Batista told reporters that he decided to go public because he was frustrated at the slow pace of divorce negotiations with his estranged wife.

He said he had not only given his heart to his wife, Dawnell, but donated his kidney to save her life.

But divorce lawyers say a donated organ is not a marital asset to be divided.

Dr Batista married Dawnell in 1990 and donated the kidney to her in 2001. She filed for divorce in 2005 and a settlement has still not been reached.

'Betrayal'

He told reporters at his lawyer's office in Long Island, New York, that going public was a last resort.

  I felt humiliated, betrayed, disrespected and disregarded

Dr Richard Batista
"There is no deeper pain that you can ever express than betrayal from somebody who you love and devoted your life to," he said.

He said he had been prevented from seeing their three children for extended periods.

"I felt humiliated, betrayed, disrespected and disregarded for me as a person, as a man, as a husband, as a father."

Dr Batista's lawyer, Dominic Barbara, said his client was "asking for the value of the kidney" that he gave his wife.

A lawyer for Mrs Batista said: "The facts aren't as represented by Dr Batista. We will be addressing the issues before the judge within the next few days."

There's this woman I meet through work, she's always telling me what a nice accent I have, nicest she ever heard blah blah, I think she fancies me, but anyway about 6 months ago she had a boob job! She was telling everyone for weeks she was getting one, I thought she was joking! Then she went on a weeks holiday and came back, and I discovered she wasnt joking, when she was demonstrating how they didn't move even when she shook them  :-[  :-[  :-[
Anyway, today she told me she'd got engaged and she was deadly serious when she followed it up with "well he paid for my boobs, so why not"  :o

Was queuing at the car parking meter the other day in a multi storey, a group of 3 chavettes about 18 odd were paying for their parking and i notice one of them dropped a tenner on the floor right tight to the machine. So i gave it a few seconds to see if she was picking it up, but she happily took her ticket from the machine and walked away leaving the tenner on the floor. So i said "excuse you me you have dropped some money", so she picked it up and without even looking in my direction walked off.
I'll think twice the next time..........

Felt a wee bit scared. Was walking down a dark country road and the car they'd got into zoomed past with 2 beeps. If anyone I'd noticed in a shop who I didn't know beeped the horn at me on a dark country road immediately after I'd be slightly afeared. Luckily I keep a knife down my sock.

Probably didn't help that I was wearing pink lip balm.

On American Idol last night - there was a blind contestant who managed to get through.

When he came outside to meet with his family and celebrate, the host went to high five him - then realised after a few seconds that it probably wasn't the best idea - then lowered his hand

Some people shouldnt be allowed to give their opinions to newspapers FFS

GLAMOUR girl JORDAN has called for a new punishment for rapists – they should be raped themselves.
The tough-talking star – who also agrees with the death penalty – said: "The way I see it is an eye for an eye.

"So if someone rapes a girl he should be bent over and the same thing done to him. I'm sorry that's just the way I feel. I'm very strict."

Jordan, real name KATIE PRICE, added: "If someone is done for drink-driving they should have their licence taken away for life.

"And if someone steals they should have to wear a dye on their skin, like a tattoo on their ear or somewhere it can be seen – like across their face! That would stop people stealing."

The 30-year-old model – who is moving to the US with husband PETER ANDRE – also voiced support for gay marriages.

From the Irish Times today

Perfume stolen in bid to end row with fiancee
A MAN stole perfume, flowers and two boxes of condoms in a bid to patch things up with his fiancee as their romantic getaway went horribly wrong in Co Wexford last weekend.
Erinn O'Brien (24), Kilmahuddrick Court, Clondalkin, Dublin, but now living in Tullow, Co Carlow, appeared before Judge Donnchadh Ó Buachalla at Wexford District Court. He pleaded guilty to four charges of theft and one of criminal damage.
Garda Pat Fielding told how he arrested O'Brien last Saturday at Irish Street, Enniscorthy, after a series of thefts. The garda outlined how O'Brien, at about 3.50pm, stole a bottle of perfume worth €26 from Kelly's Pharmacy, of Slaney Place, and then went next door and stole a bouquet of flowers worth €9.99 from O'Leary's newsagents.
He was arrested and brought to the Garda station, where a search revealed he had stolen two boxes of condoms from Caulfield's SuperValu on Millpark Road.
On learning that he was staying in Treacy's Hotel in Enniscorthy with his girlfriend, gardaí searched their room and found a jumper and two T-shirts stolen from Berney Bros Saddlers at Templeshannon Quay.
O'Brien also faced a charge of causing €300 worth of criminal damage to chairs at the Millrace Hotel in Bunclody on Friday night.
Leonard Leader, for O'Brien, said his client accepts that his behaviour was unacceptable and that "he went on the rampage".
Mr Leader said the newly engaged couple went to the Millrace for a break, but after a row on Friday night O'Brien's girlfriend threw her engagement ring at him. He then got razor blades and tried to slit his wrists. The couple were asked to leave the hotel and on Saturday booked into Treacy's Hotel in nearby Enniscorthy.
O'Brien took 10 Valium tablets, and Mr Leader said this caused him to "go on a rampage, stealing things he thought would help him patch things up" with her.
Mr Leader said O'Brien's girlfriend was a heroin addict for eight or nine years. He said the couple lived in Tullow as they left Clondalkin when O'Brien's mother – also an addict – stole €1,500 from him to buy heroin. His mother and fiancee were in court to support him on Monday.
Mr Leader said O'Brien's late father had been abusive to him all his life. He said O'Brien had had a health setback as he has "a build up of fluid in his testicles, which he needs to get seen to".
The court heard O'Brien had one child from a previous relationship, which he looks after with his girlfriend's two children, one of whom is severely disabled. "I would implore you to consider a non-custodial sentence," Mr Leader told Judge Ó Buachalla.
O'Brien, a qualified painter and decorator, told Judge Ó Buachalla that he doesn't claim social welfare as he doesn't believe in it.
When asked by the judge how he is supporting the three children and his girlfriend, he said he was receiving financial help from an uncle in Celbridge.
The judge ordered that a Probation Officer's Report be prepared on O'Brien and remanded him on bail in his own bond of €400 to appear before Enniscorthy District Court on April 15th next. O'Brien is to sign on at Tullow Garda Station every Friday.

QuoteA shooting in Toronto's subway system has thrown a major part of the city's public transit system into chaos.

At least one person was shot, but the condition of the victim is unknown, according to Const. Wendy Drummond.

The victim has been taken to hospital suffering from gunshot wounds.

The shooting happened just before 11 a.m. on the platform of the Osgoode station near University Avenue and Queen Street West.

Police have closed the station and an investigation is underway.

Police said they are looking for a number of suspects.

A large section of the city's Yonge-University-Spadina subway line has been closed down and will probably remain closed for much of the afternoon as police carry out their investigation.

Men who are more sexually active in their 20s and 30s may run a higher risk of prostate cancer, research suggests.

The Nottingham University study quizzed 800 men on how often they had sex or masturbated.

Those who were most active while younger had more chance of developing cancer later in life.

The researchers said higher levels of sex hormones could lead to a bigger sex drive and the cancer, the journal BJU International reported.

  Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer

Dr Polyxeni Dimitropoulu
Study leader

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with well over 30,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

It affects the prostate gland, which is found close to the bladder and makes a component of semen.

The Nottingham team, led by Dr Polyxeni Dimitropoulu, recruited more than 400 men diagnosed with prostate cancer, then compared their answers to 409 men thought to be free of the disease.

As well as questions about how often they had been sexually active from puberty onwards, they were asked how many sexual partners they had had and whether they had been diagnosed with any sexual infections.

Roughly the same proportion of both groups, 59%, said they had engaged in sexual activity 12 times a month or more in their 20s, falling to 48% in their 30s, 28% in their 40s and 13% in their 50s.

Almost two-fifths of the prostate cancer group had had six female partners or more, compared with less than a third of the non-cancer group.

Frequency risk

There was also a difference among the men who masturbated or had sex the most often, with 40% of men in the cancer group being sexually active 20 times a month or more in their 20s, compared with 32% in the non-cancer group.

The gap between the two groups narrowed as the men aged, suggesting that the difference was strongest at a younger age.

Dr Dimitropoulu said: "What makes our study stand out from previous research is that we focused on a younger age group than normal and included both intercourse and masturbation at various stages in the participants' lives."

He said that it was possible that higher levels of sex hormones in some men were both responsible for a high sex drive in their 20s and 30s, and for the development of prostate cancer later on.

"Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer and it is very common to treat men with therapy to reduce the hormones thought to stimulate the cancer cells."

He said that the reasons why the connection between sexual activity and prostate risk appeared to diminish with advancing age was not clear, although other studies have suggested that sexual activity releases toxins from the gland.

Nigerian police are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery - amid claims it used black magic to morf from a human to escape justice.


Nigerian Police are holding the goat while they complete inquiries



Vigilantes took the animal to police, claiming it had been a person trying to steal a Mazda 323.

"The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car," Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed said.

"They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat.

"We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody."

He went on: "We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat."

Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation.

People have been flocking to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.

 Pair Pay £100k To Clone Dead Pet

Lancelot Encore is a clone of Ed and Nina Otto's late dog Lancelot, who died of cancer in January 2008.

The Ottos, who could not bear life without their beloved dog, placed a £108,000 bid on a biotech firm's dog-cloning auction last July.

BioArts International created Lancelot Encore in South Korea, where he was born ten weeks ago.

The Ottos say he is the first single-birth, commercially-cloned puppy in the United States.

"This is Sir Lancelot, as he was, when he was nice and healthy," said Nina Otto, "probably around the time that we actually took his DNA and froze it.

"I know that to a lot of people spending that much money is ridiculous. I've heard some of my friends say 'On a dog?', but it wasn't just a dog. It was Lancelot."

The Ottos already have eight other dogs.

But with 12 acres of land they felt they had more than enough room for another pet.

"Think about how wonderful it is to be able to have your best friend back with you," Ed Otto said.

"We know he looks identical. We're hoping he has some of the same traits."

The couple met Lancelot Encore at the airport in Miami, and were obviously delighted with the result of the cloning process.

"He's back with me," said Nina, "in terms of the essence of him, as much as you could probably expect to ever get back someone who died."

Former Bishop Auckland skipper was thought to be dead but instead he just popped out for newspaper


A historic football club held a minute's silence for an ex-player only for it to emerge later that he was still alive and kicking.

Tributes were paid to Tommy Farrer, 86, in Bishop Auckland FC's programme and his death was noted in the local newspaper.

But the former England amateur who played in three Wembley finals for the County Durham side was very much alive and well, enjoying his retirement in Maidstone, Kent.

He played down the mistake, preferring to "let it die", he said.

But earlier, he told the Northern Echo newspaper: "We are not upset, but we did think it was a bit of a joke at first."

He and his wife Gladys celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last month.

The couple learned of the mistake when a club official telephoned her to pass on his condolences. Confused, Mrs Farrer said her husband had just popped out to buy a newspaper, and that if the caller waited a few minutes, she would fetch him to speak over the phone.

The former player, who skippered a Bishop Auckland team which took on a barefoot team of Nigerians in 1949, was particularly touched by the programme notes, which described him as a "legend".

He won eight amateur caps and was on the losing side three times in three FA Amateur Cup finals in the post-War years, when Bishops were among the best known non-league sides in the country. He went on to play for Walthamstow and settled in Maidstone in 1970.

Bishops held a minute's silence for Mr Farrer before their Northern League game against Newcastle Benfield last week, which they lost 4-0.

DOnt worry, I told him if they had to stay at home for the last eight or nine hundred years they wouldnt have such a problem with people following them home.  To be fair he agreed, he wishes they'd to stay at home too and that would have avoided getting a lot of foreigners.

QuoteA TRANSSEXUAL, angry at an NHS advertising campaign that depicts a man wearing makeup, says her lifestyle has been exploited for the sake of a poster.

Lucy Smith thinks the NHS should have been more sensitive to the transsexual community in Warrington when it developed a poster warning women drinkers they could end up looking like men.

"It's hard enough living in Warrington without this," said Lucy, a pre-op male to female transsexual.

"People see the posters on the bus and it draws attention to me sat there. I walk down the street and everyone's looking or shouting," she said.

Transsexuality is recognised as a medical condition, and the NHS pays for transgender operations.

That NHS Warrington would put up the posters while knowing about the problems transsexuals face has upset Lucy and her friends in the transsexual community.

Not a day goes by without a violent incident or abusive comments towards Lucy, aged 23, and the posters have only brought transsexuality to the forefront of people's minds, she said.

"They have these pictures that stand out a mile and people will see it and start pointing and making comments and laughing," she said.

The posters were brought in as part of a hard-hitting campaign to lower excessive drinking levels in women.

Warrington is one of the worst towns in the country for the high level of women who drink too much, and research has shown that excessive drinking can introduce male characteristics to women.

The person on the poster is fictional, made up of different images that were merged together by an artist, a spokesman for NHS Warrington said.

NHS Warrington sent the poster to national equality and diversity groups and consulted with the national lead for the transgender community, the spokesman said.

The groups did not find any reason for NHS Warrington not to use the posters.

Similar campaigns used elsewhere in the country have been successful in reducing harmful drinking levels in women, the spokesman added.

Lucy has asked both NHS Warrington and Warrington Borough Transport to remove the posters, but was told the campaign had been effective and would not be removed.

Transsexual men and women want to establish a permanent role as a member of the opposite sex, and many have gender reassignment surgery to complete this. This transition can take years.

Get this for a WTF...
Decided a couple of weeks ago to get one of them neon 'open' signs and hung it in the front window of the shop,
Got a letter yesterday telling me that in order to have the sign I'd have to get a permit...so me being me thought :D..turns out
it wasn't a joke :( So for the craic of it I proceed to City hall to find out what the requirements are.

In order to get the permit I have to draw a floor plan of the shop stating where I propose to hang the sign (now it's 14" by 8") ::) bring the drawing back to have it inspected
at a cost of $100 then i can apply for a permit that'll cost $36, after it's hung i have to pay an inspector to come out and inspect said sign and I have
to prove I had a licensed contractor to complete the massive task as they will ask to see the receipt....so no points for knowing where the sign ended up >:(

And they wonder why business are leaving California in their droves..I honestly don't know whether to laugh or be pissed off it's that ridiculous !

Domino's pizza defends halal-only outlet

By Matthew Cooper, Press Association


Thursday, 12 February 2009

The Domino's pizza chain today defended its decision to give the go-ahead for a halal-only outlet which does not offer its customers ham or bacon.


The firm said it had "thought long and hard" about the decision not to offer pork products at its store in Hall Green, Birmingham, which serves an area with a large Muslim population.


Some customers at the store have criticised the new policy, claiming it limits their freedom of choice and discriminates against non-Muslims.


But a spokeswoman for Domino's stressed that replacement items such as halal pepperoni had been sourced wherever possible.


The spokeswoman said: "In that particular area of Birmingham there are a large number of Muslims so there is naturally more of a demand for halal-based products.


"We appreciate we cannot please everybody but there are alternatives, such as turkey ham, and we have thought long and hard about this decision and we are sure it is the right one."


Domino's said the outlet was accredited by the Halal Food Authority (HFA) and was the first in the country to offer its pizzas to customers who prefer to eat halal.


The store's halal menu still includes many of the country's favourite pizzas, but with a halal twist on the toppings, Domino's added.


Items on the menu include halal spicy beef sausage, roast and tandoori chicken, halal pepperoni and halal cured turkey.


Abdul Mumtaz, the store's franchisee, said the halal store better served the needs of local residents.


Mr Mumtaz said: "Domino's is a national brand with a strong sense of the local communities in which it operates, and the halal store has been launched following huge demand from the people of Hall Green, where a high proportion of customers are followers of the Islamic faith.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is absolute horseshite. The Hall Green area where i live does have a fair scattering of Muslims but it is probably 80/20 white.

One of the victims of the Buffalo plane crash was the widow of a man who died in the September 11 attacks, the local newspaper reported.

Beverly Eckert was flying to the city for a celebration of what would have been her husband Sean Rooney's 58th birthday.

Her sister Sue Bourque told the Buffalo News: "We know she was on that plane and now she's with him."

She said the family had not yet received official confirmation of her sister's fate, but the reality was setting in.

Mr Rooney, who was 50 when he died, was working in the World Trade Centre in the New York when terrorists flew two planes into the twin towers.

He left a message on his wife's voicemail saying: "There has been an explosion in World Trade One – that's the other building.

"It looks like a plane struck it. It's on fire at about the 90th floor. And it's, it's – it's horrible. Bye."

Ms Eckert became co-chairwoman of the group Voices of September 11.

The chimp can be heard grunting at times on the tape, as Herold cries, "He's killing my friend!"

The dispatcher says, "Who's killing your friend?"

Herold replies, "My chimpanzee! He ripped her apart! Shoot him, shoot him!"

After police arrive, one officer radios back: "There's a man down. He doesn't look good," he says, referring to the disfigured Nash. "We've got to get this guy out of here. He's got no face."

The chimp attacked Nash as Herold, 70, frantically stabbed her beloved pet with a butcher knife and pounded him with a shovel.

"He looked at me like, 'Mom, what did you do?'" Herold told NBC's "Today Show" in an interview aired Wednesday. "It was horrific what happened and I had to do what I had to do, but still, I'll miss him for the rest of my life."

Nash remained was in critical condition early Wednesday with major injuries to her face and hands.

Police said they are looking into the possibility of criminal charges. A pet owner can be held criminally responsible if he or she knew or should have known that an animal was a danger to others.

Police said that the chimp was agitated earlier Monday and that Herold had given him the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in some tea. Police said the drug had not been prescribed for the 14-year-old chimp.

Investigators said they were also told that Travis had Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness with flu-like symptoms that can lead to arthritis and meningitis in humans.

"Maybe from the medications he was out of sorts," Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said.

Nash had gone to Herold's home in Stamford on Monday to help her coax the chimp back into the house after he got out, police said. After the animal lunged at Nash when she got out of her car, Herold ran inside to call the police emergency line and returned with a knife.

After the initial attack, Travis ran away and started roaming Herold's property until police arrived, setting up security so medics could reach the critically injured woman, Conklin said.

But the chimpanzee returned and went after several of the officers, who retreated into their cars, Conklin said. An officer shot Travis several times after the animal opened the door to his cruiser and started to get in.

Nothing suss about this   ::)


The wife of Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has been killed in a car crash in which he was also hurt, according to reports.

Susan Tsvangirai was travelling with her husband south of the capital, Harare, when the crash happened.

Mr Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, formed a unity government with President Robert Mugabe last month.

The two had been long-time rivals before agreeing a power-sharing deal.

MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters news agency that Mr Tsvangirai was not in a critical condition.

"We have just heard that there was an accident of sorts involving the president of the party. Injuries, yes, but not critical condition, we are still assessing the actual condition," he said.

 
The prime minister is said to have been on his way to his rural home in Buhera at the start of the weekend when his vehicle was involved in a crash near Beatrice.

A second MDC spokesman, James Maridadi, told the Associated Press news agency that the car had been in collision with a lorry. The car was also carrying an aide, he said.

The prime minister was apparently not seriously hurt but was immediately transferred to a clinic in the capital, Harare, the BBC's Peter Biles in Johannesburg says.

The crash comes just two days after Mr Tsvangirai delivered his maiden speech to parliament after being sworn in as prime minister in Zimbabwe's power-sharing government, our correspondent adds.

He and his wife Susan, who were married in 1978, had six children.

The BBC News website's Africa editor Joseph Winter says Mrs Tsvangirai always stayed out of the limelight but was equally a source of strength to her husband, when in the past he was charged with treason and assaulted for his opposition to Mr Mugabe.

She accompanied him to court on several occasions.

There are no dual carriageways on Harare's inter-city roads, making overtaking dangerous, our correspondent adds.

Traffic accidents are common, often because of speeding and drink-driving.

Jail for Halloween mask slasher 

A man who wore a Halloween mask while slashing two people in random street attacks in Glasgow has been jailed for five years and three months.

Craig Harvey, 23, admitted assaulting both men to their severe injury and permanent disfigurement during the attacks in Shettleston last October.

The High Court in Kilmarnock heard he committed the offences while on bail.

Judge Lady Dorrian also ordered Harvey to be supervised for four years after his release.

The court heard how he approached 17-year-old Jonathan Gallagher in Shettleston while he was wearing a white Halloween mask with a hood.

He pulled off the mask and slashed the teenager across the head before fleeing.

Minutes later, he attacked Kevin Paton, 31, as his 10-year-old daughter watched.

Harvey was arrested after being captured on CCTV wearing the mask on top of his head.

A man police caught performing a sex act with a car wash vacuum has been sentenced to 90 days in prison.
Jason Leroy Savage must also submit to drug testing.
The 29-year-old from Michigan, was sentenced at Saginaw County Circuit Court.
Savage pleaded no contest to indecent exposure last month.
Police said Savage was arrested after a resident called officers early on October 16 to report suspicious activity at a car wash in Thomas Township, about 90 miles north-west of Detroit.
Savage's lawyer, Philip Sturtz, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.

WTF!

Diego Maradona has reacted to claims made by Pele that he is not a good role model for children, by declaring that he lost his virginity with a man.

The Brazilian legend claimed last week that both Ronaldo and Robinho have taken drugs, and that Maradona is not someone to look up to because of his history with narcotics.

The Argentine coach was asked for his thoughts on these statements at a press conference today, and did not twist his words when responding.

"What do you want me to say? He debuted (lost his virginity) with a lad (a man)," is what the coach is reported to have said by a host of sources, including Marca.

The response prompted plenty of laughter from all the journalists present at the conference but it is unlikely to go down to well with the Brazilian, nor with some onlookers.

Pele has already had to track back on his claims that Robinho had taken drugs, after the Manchester City man threatened to take legal action.

The now retired Pele claimed that what had been quoted was a "misunderstanding" and suggested the drugs claims were not true.

This latest remark by Maradona has dragged the Brazilian legend into the spotlight yet again and it will be intriguing to see if, or how, he reacts to the comments.

QuoteAn Australian man who pimped a 16-year-old schoolgirl paid her with chicken nuggets for having sex with men, a court has been told.

Ronald Vikash Gander, 27, and his 16-year-old girlfriend devised a plan to prostitute a teenage girl so they could afford the weekly $1,050 rent on a serviced inner-Brisbane apartment, the Brisbane District Court was told. The court was told the girl made $4,500 for having sex with five middle-aged men in June last year.

Gander and his girlfriend used the money for living expenses and paid the girl nothing except for the occasional box of chicken nuggets.

The court was told Gander's girlfriend - who cannot be named - threatened the student, who had run away from home, with eviction if she didn't continue having sex with clients to earn her keep.

Judge Marshall Irwin described the prostitution offences as "sordid". "The girl was used as if she was a piece of meat ... and your conduct can properly be described as that of a sleaze merchant," Judge Irwin said.

Gander pleaded guilty on Monday to one count each of procuring prostitution with a circumstance of aggravation and knowingly participating in the provision of prostitution with a circumstance of aggravation.

The court was told he had a substantial criminal history of dishonesty offences, and that he was on parole when he committed these offences.

Gander was jailed for six years in 2004 for 15 charges relating to an attempt to pull off a multi-million dollar fraud involving the sale of a Brisbane high-rise building. That sentence was reduced to five years in 2005 by the Court of Appeal, and Gander was released in 2007.


Judge Irwin sentenced Gander to two and a half years' jail, to be suspended after nine months, for the latest offence.

Woman bit off boyfriend's tongue
1 hour 16 mins ago

Print Story A woman who bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a kiss on his birthday has been jailed for three years. Skip related content
Related photos / videos Tracy Davies bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a kiss Tracy Davies, 40, severed the first third of Mark Coghill's tongue in "an animal fashion" after asking him for a "smoochy kiss", Newcastle Crown Court heard.

The pair, who met through a lonely hearts column, had been celebrating Mr Coghill's 45th birthday, and had drunk two bottles of vodka before the attack.

During the three day trial, Newcastle Crown Court heard how Davies "turned into the likes of Mike Tyson" within seconds of being "lovely".

A recovering alcoholic, Davies had become upset because she wanted a baby and wasn't pregnant. When Mr Coghill comforted her, she told him she loved him and asked him to kiss her.

But she soon turned into a "massive monster", Mr Coghill told the court, biting down hard on his tongue after she lured him into putting it in her mouth. He screamed in pain and tapped her on the head in a bid to make her release him. Instead she chewed through his tongue, and spat it out on the floor.

Sentencing her, Judge John Evans said Davies had acted in an "animal fashion" and adding that Mr Coghill's injury was "truly appalling".

During the trial, Mr Coghill told the court how he tried to fight Davies off, but her teeth remained clamped to his tongue. "I couldn't kick her off, or push her away or anything like that. I was just hoping and praying she would stop," Mr Coghill told the court.

"Then when she did stop, she opened her mouth, and looked at me in such a way that I have never seen anyone do before. She opened her mouth, and my tongue was in her mouth. She let out a satisfaction sound, like if you have a cup of tea when you haven't had one for a few days. An mmmm sound."

In her defence, Davies said she had "no recollection" of attacking Mr Coghill, and she only told the police she was responsible for his injury because he had convinced her that she had done so

Has anyone ever looked through the BBC complaints section on their website, someone directed it to me yesterday, it's worth a read for sheer entertainment value!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/response/index.shtml (http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/response/index.shtml)

Who would get the most complaints that the BBC would have to respond to? I would have thought Jonathan Ross but no, it's looking for like eastenders!!
Top one now is a response to complaints over "Danielle's death", I dont know who Danielle is but ffs would the people complaining get a grip!  There's an number of statements issued over complaints on easterenders storylines.
They've answered complaints on "Excessive coverage of the US election" and too much sport on the schedule on some day in Feb and on the commentators being biased int he Wimbledon final. 

And yous all think I'm a moaner!

I've just made my own complaint there about why Albert square hasn't been pedestrianised after all these people getting knocked down. Why hasn't Walford council done something about it?


I wonder if i get a reply?

QuoteA hairdresser from the small Russian town of Meshchovsk has subdued a man who tried to rob her shop, and then raped him for three days in the utility room, Life.ru reports.

The incident occurred on Saturday, March 14. The working day was coming to an end at a small hairdressers, when a man armed with a gun rushed in and demanded the day's earnings.

The frightened employees and customers agreed to fulfill his demand, but when the shop's owner, 28-year-old Olga, was handing the money to the robber, she suddenly knocked him down on the floor and then tied him up with a hairdryer cord. The 32-year-old Viktor couldn't have known that the woman was a yellow belt in karate.

Olga locked the unlucky robber in the utility room and told her colleagues that she was going to call the police – but didn't do so. When everybody left home, she approached the man and ordered him to 'take of his underpants' threatening to hand him over to the police if he refuses to cooperate.

(http://www.russiatoday.com/s/obj/2009-04-14/rapper.858.jpg)

After that Olga raped her hostage for three long days. She chained Viktor to the radiator with pink furry handcuffs and fed him Viagra.

She eventually let the man go on Monday, March 16, saying: "Get out of my sight!"

Viktor went straight to hospital as his genitals were injured, and then to the police.

Olga was resentful when she was taken by the police.

"What a b*stard," the woman said about Viktor. "Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I've bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1.000 roubles (around $ 30) when he left."

After that she wrote a notice to the police claiming the man tried to rob her shop.

Both Olga and Viktor may now face prison terms. The woman could be convicted of rape, while the man of robbery.

this should give you an idea:

A young hairdresser in Kaluga, Central Russia, locked a robber who tried to steal her money in the basement of the beauty salon. After that, she has brutally raped her hostage for three days. A court in Kaluga has filed criminal charges against both of them, the Russian website Newsru.com reports.

The robber, who has not been named, burst into the salon armed with shotgun at about 17.00 on March 14. He demanded money. There were two hairdressers and one client in the salon at the time. One of hairdressers, who was studying judo and taekwondo, disabled the robber with a smashing body blow. Then she carried the unlucky robber to the basement and bound him with a hairdryer cord.

The hairdresser told her scared colleague and the client that she would call the police. But she did not. After work, instead of calling the police, she made her hostage undress. The perverted hairdresser forced the hostage to take several Viagra tablets. She chained the unfortunate robber with pink furry wristbands and painfully raped him for the next three days.

After his release, the exhausted robber filed charges against the perverted woman. The frenulum of his penis was torn as a consequence of rape session.

"That's ridiculous. We had sex just a couple times. I brought him brand new jeans. I fed him every day and gave him one thousand rubles ($25) before his release," the hairdresser said.

In response, she filed charges against the robber.

The robber admitted that the hairdresser really did feed him royally.

"I actually don't know what will happen to them. But it's a pity that they could not meet in the cell. They would be a great couple," one of the police officers said.

Trial in France for Jew's murder 

Ilan Halimi was brutally tortured before he died
Twenty-seven people have gone on trial in Paris for the kidnapping and killing of a young Jewish man that shocked France three years ago.

A gang targeting Jews in ransom kidnappings has been blamed for the abduction and brutal torture of the victim, Ilan Halimi.

The alleged gang leader, Youssouf Fofana, shouted "God is great" in Arabic as he entered the courtroom.

The killing prompted large demonstrations against anti-Semitism.

Mr Halimi, 23, was kidnapped and brutally tortured for more than three weeks before he was found naked and tied to a tree near a railway track in the suburbs south of Paris.

He had been stabbed and set alight and he died on his way to hospital.

Youssouf Fofana, the leader of a Paris gang known as The Barbarians, is accused of carrying out the attack and faces life imprisonment if found guilty.

Mr Fofana entered the court wearing a white tracksuit. He looked at Mr Halimi's relatives, shouting "Allahu akbar".

When the judged asked the 28-year-old for his birthday, he said he was born on 13 February, 2006, in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois - the date and place of Mr Halimi's death.



Youssouf Fofana has pleaded not guilty to murder
Youssouf Fofana is alleged to have instructed gang members to target Jews and to kidnap them until their families paid a ransom.

He has admitted all the charges, including entrapment and kidnapping but he denies stabbing Mr Halimi to death.

The other defendants have been indicted on lesser charges. As some of them were minors at the time of the crime, the judge excluded the public and the press for the remainder of the trial.

The victim, who worked in a mobile phone shop, was lured by a gang member to an empty apartment in the Parisian suburbs where he was attacked and drugged.

During his ordeal, his family were sent harrowing images and video recordings by his captors.

The then-President, Jacques Chirac, promised his parents a full investigation.

Kenyan Arsenal fan hangs himself 


A Kenyan fan of English football club Arsenal has hanged himself after his team's defeat by Manchester United.

The north London club was beaten 3-1 in the European Champions League semi-final second leg on Tuesday evening.

Suleiman Omondi, 29, who was watching in a bar in the capital, Nairobi, was incensed by the club's poor showing.

He left at half-time after arguing with a Manchester United fan and was found hanging from a rope in his house, still dressed in an Arsenal shirt.

'Broke down'

The BBC's Josphat Makori in Nairobi says the unprecedented incident has shocked football fans in Kenya.

According to his friends, Mr Omondi was in good spirits at the beginning of the match and even when Arsenal conceded the first goal, he did not seem to be affected.

  He was so angry that he left in a rage

Eyewitness
But things changed when the team conceded a second goal 11 minutes into the game.

A woman, who sat next to him in the bar, said Mr Omondi was so disappointed by Arsenal's poor performance that he broke down during half-time.

Another eyewitness told journalists that it was at this point that a Manchester United fan started taunting him.

"Suleiman got hold of him angrily by the neck and started pressing him so hard," he said.

"We quickly intervened and asked him to stop. Suleiman then stopped but he was so angry that he left in a rage."

His body was found on Wednesday morning.

Police officer David Bunei told the BBC the incident was being investigated.

Woman Dies After Using Jackhammer As Dildo
Posted on May 5, 2009 by tubesteak

ARNDALE, OK – Sheriff's investigators have closed the unsettling case of a 49-year-old female construction worker found dead in her driveway after a neighbor witnessed her using a high-powered jackhammer to pleasure herself.

After a two-day investigation in which officials initially suspected foul play–Shirley Dent's death on May 1 has now been ruled an accident "after severe internal distress induced by the machine was discovered," Det.-Sgt. Karl Sprout of the Alpara County Sheriff's Office said yesterday.

On May 1, a neighbor witnessed a naked Ms. Dent in her driveway "struggling to direct a jackhammer toward her mid-section." The alarmed neighbor notified police after hearing ear-splitting moans of distress that carried over the raucous jackhammer. Authorities arrived at the scene to an unresponsive Ms. Dent, who was then transported to West Grenier Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

The recently divorced Ms. Dent had been questioned by authorities three times over the past month after neighbors complained of her running a prostitution ring from her home. Records also show that Ms. Dent supplemented her income as the sole proprietor of a sex toy distributor.

Ms. Dent's alleged extracurricular activities appear to be unrelated to her death. A neighbor who declined to be identified said, "She was a horny lady, especially after her husband moved out. My family could hear moans coming from her place all the time."

Toddler buys real digger online

Pipi's parents nearly had to dig deep

A New Zealand couple nearly found themselves in a financial hole when their three-year-old daughter bought an earthdigger in an internet auction.

The child, Pipi Quinlan, was trying out her online skills while her parents were asleep in bed.

They only unearthed the truth when they received an email demand for NZ$20,000 (£8,000) from the seller.

Pipi's mother, Sarah, had left the computer logged on. The owner of the digger is not insisting on the sale.

Shock

Sarah Quinlan told the BBC that she had been looking for toys online, and using an automatic log-in to an auction site.

But a shock was in store when she got up the next day.

"When I found an email from a guy who said 'can you deposit the money?' I thought - hang on - this isn't quite what I expected," she said.

Pipi had only been allowed to use the computer for the first time the week before - but is obviously a fast learner.

"It's been a lot of fun," said Sarah, "She's earned a bit of notoriety."

But Sarah is determined the same thing will not happen again, and has urged the parents of other young children not to be caught out.

"I've taken all my automatic log-ins off anything she could purchase from," she said.

China bridge jumper 'gets a push' 

A man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a Chinese bridge was approached by a passer-by who shoved him over the edge, local media say.

Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams in Guangzhou, southern China.

Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.

The drama unfolded when Mr Chen climbed on to Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou on Thursday and threatened to jump.

'Debt worries'

He told police he wanted to kill himself because he was 2m yuan ($293,000 or £184,000) in debt following a failed construction project, the China Daily reported.

Traffic around the bridge was stopped for five hours while officers tried to coax Mr Chen to safety.

Retired soldier Mr Lai at first volunteered to try to talk Mr Chen down but was turned away by police, Xinhua said.

Mr Lai is said to have then broken through the police cordon, climbed to where Mr Chen sat, greeted him with a handshake - and then pushed him off the edge.


 
Pictures in the China Daily show him saluting to the crowd after Mr Chen fell on to the partially filled emergency air cushion.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish," the newspaper quoted Mr Lai as saying.

"Their action violates a lot of public interests. They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Mr Chen is said to have suffered spine and elbow injuries and is recovering in a Guangzhou hospital.

The bridge has gained a macabre reputation, attracting at least 12 would-be suicide jumpers since the start of April, according to the China Daily report.

None of the 12 has jumped, although each has held up traffic for several hours, it said.

Scandal of the children killed for 'witchcraft'

In Nigeria, rogue pastors prey on fears of black magic to drum up a lucrative trade in 'exorcisms'

By Emily Dugan

Sunday, 9 November 2008

   

Five-year-old Utitofong can never go home. She has a loving family and has committed no crime, but her neighbours want her dead. Like thousands of children in the Niger delta of west Africa, she has fallen victim to an outbreak of virulent superstition that sees innocent young people condemned as witches. They can be driven from their villages, tortured or killed.

When her father died, Utitofong was blamed for having caused his death by witchcraft. Her mother spent more than four months' wages on exorcisms, fearing that her daughter would be killed by hostile villagers. But when the money ran out and a pastor proclaimed her a lost cause, Utitofong had to leave home for ever.

There have been Christians in Nigeria since the 19th century. While the majority hold moderate beliefs, an extreme minority has harnessed existing superstitions about black magic and turned them into a lucrative trade. Up to 15,000 children in Nigeria's Akwa Ibom and Cross River states alone have been branded witches by rogue pastors, who charge large sums to "exorcise" them.

Sam Itauma runs the Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN), a makeshift shelter and school in Eket for 150 children who have been deemed to be possessed. The children bear the horrific scars of witch-branding: acid burns, machete wounds and severe malnutrition.

A man from Ibaka in Akwa Ibom, who calls himself "the Bishop", has made a fortune conducting "exorcisms" of children, claiming that they are possessed by the devil and eat human flesh. He told an investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches that he had killed "up to 110 people" who were identified as witches.

Gary Foxcroft, a Briton who is director of Stepping Stones Nigeria, a charity that works with children abandoned because of their supposed "possession", describes the situation as "an absolute scandal".

The distribution of a video claiming to explain how to "diagnose" those possessed is blamed. The film, End of the Wicked, is distributed widely across the Niger delta by the Liberty Gospel Church, a powerful evangelical sect with some 150 branches in the region. Its graphic images of apparently possessed children eating a human carcass, and being inducted into covens, have fuelled an epidemic of paranoia.

But more damaging than this are the film's directions on how to spot a child witch. It tells viewers that an infant under the age of two may be possessed if they scream in the night, experience ill health or get a fever.

A horrified sheriff has spoken out after a 72-year-old woman who refused to sign a speeding ticket was stunned twice with a Taser gun after provoking a policeman.
Video released by Travis County Constable's Office in Texas shows Kathryn Winkfein hitting the ground and moaning while the electric shocks jolted through her body.
It happened during a confrontation with sheriff's deputy Chris Bieze.
Travis County sheriff Greg Hamilton, whose office does not oversee the constables, issued a statement saying: "I do not personally agree with the actions of the deputy constable as they are shown in the video. When I look at the video, I am in awe of what happened."
Ms Winkfein was stopped for driving at 60mph in a 45mph zone just west of Austin. A dashboard camera in the deputy's car shows the 4ft 11in OAP refusing to sign her speeding ticket, getting out of her white pick-up truck and swearing at the deputy constable.
Mr Bieze then pushes her to get her away from traffic.
"You're gonna shove a 72-year-old woman," Ms Winkfein says angrily, standing inches from the deputy. "If you don't step back, you're going to get Tased," Mr Bieze says. "Go ahead, Tase me," Ms Winkfein says. "I dare you."
The video then shows Mr Bieze using the Taser and Ms Winkfein hitting the ground and moaning in pain.
Ms Winkfein was eventually charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanour punishable by up to a year in jail and fines of up to £2,500.
Constable Sgt Maj Gary Griffin of the constable's office defended Mr Bieze's actions and said Ms Winkfein was belligerent and difficult to handle.

IT'S a ringing endorsement of Iarnrod Eireann from the most unlikely quarter.

Controversial Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is campaigning to be re-elected on the plank that his country is advancing as rapidly as a train, only the train in question is Irish, almost as old as he is and until 2007 was delivering freight around the country.

An Irish tourist visiting Iran couldn't believe his eyes when he spotted the locomotive fronting an election poster in the centre of Tehran, and forwarded the photo to a friend working for Iarnrod Eireann.

The General Motors 181 was scrapped two years ago, although two of its number are still working. That said, it did have a 43-year career, entering service in 1966.

Yesterday, Iarnrod Eireann said while it didn't support any candidate in the presidential elections, it would have preferred to see one of its new trains on display.

"We fully expected Irish public transport, and our plans to develop the rail service, to feature in our own election campaign last week, but to feature in Iran was a bit of a surprise," spokesman Barry Kenny said.

The Farsi script on the poster says: "The country is advancing as rapidly as a train."

The Iranian Embassy said it could not comment on where the image of the locomotive came from, and the office of the president could not be contacted last night. The embassy reminded Iranians living here to vote on Friday in the presidential election between 9am and 7pm in the Iranian Embassy at 72 Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin.

How the fcuk can you fall asleep when getting tattoo's on your face ???

A teenage girl is suing a tattoo artist for £10,000 after she allegedly asked him for three stars on her face - but ended up with 56.

Eighteen-year-old Kimberley Vlaminck paid £55 for 'the graffiti that has ruined my life' in her Belgian home town of Courtrai.
Enlarge    Scarred from life: Kimberley Vlaminck shows her tattooed face. The 56 stars will cost £8,500 to remove
She claimed the Romanian tattooist who performed the artwork misunderstood her French and English. 

She claims she fell asleep while he was doing his work... and awoke to 'this nightmare'.
But today, Rouslan Toumaniantz - himself covered from head to foot in tattoos and piercings - said he would help pay for treatment to remove the tattoos.
'I maintain that she absolutely agreed that I tattoo those 56 stars on the left side of her face,' he told newspaper La Derniere Heure.

'A witness, a woman who was present, has already been questioned by police, and she confirms it.

Pet python kills girl, 2
1 hour 40 mins ago

A family has been left distraught after their huge pet Burmese python escaped from its cage and strangled their two-year-old to death.
Pet snake escapes and strangles child to death

Shaiunna Hare was already dead when paramedics arrived at the Florida home which kept the snake as a pet.

Charles Jason Darnell, the snake's owner and the boyfriend of Shaiunna's mother, discovered the 8 feet long (2.4 metres) snake missing from its tank and rushed to the girl's room.

He found "the snake on the child" and bite marks on her head. Darnell, 32, stabbed the snake until he was able to pry the child away.

Darnell did not have a permit for the snake. He has not been charged, but authorities said investigators are looking into whether there was child neglect or if any other laws were broken.

Burmese pythons are not native to Florida, but they easily survive in the wild and a population has taken hold in the Everglades. One even burst after trying to eat an alligator.

Some owners have freed pythons into the wild and scientists also believe a number of Burmese pythons escaped in 1992 from pet shops battered by Hurricane Andrew and have been reproducing since.

The Humane Society of the United States said including Wednesday's death, at least 12 people had been killed in the US by pet pythons since 1980, including five children.

Dublin homes flooded after torrential rain
listen Thursday, 2 July 2009 13:31


Several homes in north Dublin have been flooded following torrential overnight rain.

Some 15 days of average rainfall was recorded at Dublin Airport in one hour. However, the airport remains open.

Flooding on roads, which caused major traffic disruptions earlier, has subsided in many parts of Dublin.
Advertisement

Some roads around Dublin are still affected and a full DART service has not been restored.

Around 20 residents of Clanmoyle Road, Donneycarney, were evacuated because of severe flooding.

The basements of the houses filled with flood water, which then overflowed. Walls in the gardens collapsed.

Residents say they were still recovering from last year when their homes flooded following heavy rainfall.

In the inner city, another 20 residents had to leave their apartments on Sherrard Street.

The Mater Misericordiae Hospital in Dublin is asking the public not to attend its A&E Department, which remains closed because of the flooding.

A roof collapsed in the old part of the hospital and patients had to be moved from one ward.

It said people with outpatient appointments today should attend as normal, while those who are scheduled to have elective surgery should contact the hospital before leaving their home to check if their appointment has been affected.

The Fire Brigade also attended a house in Monkstown, Co Dublin, where the roof had collapsed.

Earlier, Dublin Fire Brigade asked people not to travel unless absolutely necessary after torrential overnight downpours.

It is asking people not to drive into areas where roads are flooded as there is a real risk they will become stranded.

Rail services affected

Iarnrod Éireann has said all services are running as normal again after earlier disruption due to flooding.

However, the station at Bayside has been closed due to flooding and no DARTs are stopping there.

Passengers are being asked to use Sutton or Howth Junction stations as an alternative.

Dublin Bus is accepting rail tickets.

Earlier, flooding at Dún Laoghaire disrupted services between Dalkey and Dún Laoghaire.

Early morning motorists described the worst-hit areas in Dublin as akin to 'swimming pools'.N11 closed this morning

The M1 at the entrance to the Port Tunnel was barely passable on one lane only. The other three lanes were impassable.

The N11, which was closed from Booterstown Avenue to Fosters Avenue, and the Rock Road have reopened.

Visit AA Roadwatch for the latest on road closures

Dublin City Council has said potentially any house in the capital could have flooded overnight.

A spokesman said emergency staff were on standby since a weather warning was issued by Met Éireann at 9pm and went out once rain began to fall at 2am.

The spokesman said: 'Flood waters are alleviating at the moment and the high tide is below critical level so it should not cause a huge problem.'

Torrential downpours have also been reported in parts of the south and east as well as the midlands.

The Fire Brigade is warning that if it does start to rain again problems may arise.

Arrow trains that come in from the further reaches of suburbia and find themselves stuck behind the Dart. Dalkey to the city centre takes 28 minutes, on a good day. In Joyce's day, it was less than 20 minutes by tram.

Family's urine bid to locate dog


A family who tried to lure back a lost dog by leaving a trail of their urine on streets near their home have been criticised by the city council.

The Baltesz family, of Clifton, Bristol, lost their 10-year-old pet labrador Simon on the night of 4 July.

When Simon failed to return, the family chose their unorthodox method.

A Bristol City Council spokeswoman said: "We would not consider this to be a good idea from an environmental health point of view."

Louise Baltesz, 43, said the whole family had been "chipping in" to help lay down the scent trail.

She said she was aware of criticism aimed at the family, but they were willing to do anything to get Simon back.

'Very diluted'

"There are people who are upset about it, but I'm too emotionally drained to think about it," she said. "I'm worried about it - I really am.

"If everyone peed in the street it would be disgusting, wouldn't it? But it's very, very diluted."

Jonathan Baltesz, 44, wife Louise, and children Henry, 15 and Clara, 13
The family said they were desperate to get Simon back

Mrs Baltesz said the idea for the scent trail came from a website which offered a range of advice to owners of missing dogs.

She said: "I do feel mad doing it, but I'm driven to desperate measures.

"Apparently it's quite a normal way of doing it. You just put a little bit in a bottle and then top it up with water.

"You put some smelly food down, they come towards the food and then catch the scent [of the urine]. You only have to do it once. We've left two trails."

'Owner's scent'

The family have put up "missing" posters and have received several possible sightings of Simon, who is described as "not very approachable" and naturally timid.

But a vet at a nearby practice was less than optimistic the plan would succeed.

Ian Wills, from the nearby Zetland Veterinary Hospital in Bristol, said: "I think it's an interesting idea but I would be pleasantly surprised if it worked.

"When a dog wanders off from home they will generally wander back when they have had enough.

"If the dog was going to follow the owner's scent it would be from something they wore, like a jumper. Unless they have an incontinence problem."

A Bristol City Council spokeswoman said it was unlikely the authority would take any action against the family.

Leg-cutting funeral home to close 
 
A judge in the US state of South Carolina has ordered the closure of a funeral home where an employee cut off the legs of a 6ft 7in (2m) body.

The worker used an electric saw to sever James Hines's legs at the calf to make his body fit the coffin in 2004.

The owner had contested the revocation of his licence, saying he was absent when the incident happened and pointing to an otherwise unblemished record.

But after a brief hearing, the judge confirmed the business should close.

Earlier this year the owner of the funeral parlour in Allendale admitted that his father, who helped with cleaning and embalming bodies, had sawn off Mr Hines's legs.

The admission came after a former employee told police about the incident, four years after it happened.

In April South Carolina's funeral board exhumed the body and found the severed legs in the coffin.

Mr Hines has since been reburied in another coffin.

SAN ANTONIO – A woman charged with murdering her 3 1/2-week-old son used a knife and two swords to dismember the child and ate parts of his body, including his brain, before stabbing herself in the torso and slicing her own throat, police said Monday.

Otty Sanchez, 33, is charged with capital murder in the death of her infant son, Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez. She was recovering from her wounds at a hospital, and was being held on $1 million bail.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the early Sunday morning attack occurred a week after the child's father moved out. Otty Sanchez's sister and her sister's two children, ages 5 and 7, were in the house, but none were harmed.

Otty Sanchez's aunt, Gloria Sanchez, said her niece had been "in and out" of a psychiatric ward, and that the hospital called several months ago looking to check up on her. She did not elaborate on the nature of her niece's health problems.

"Otty didn't mean to do that. She was not in her right mind," a sobbing Gloria Sanchez told The Associated Press on Monday by phone. She said her family was devastated.

McManus, who appeared uncomfortable as he addressed reporters, said Sanchez apparently ate the child's brain and some other body parts. She also decapitated the infant, tore off his face and chewed off three of his toes before stabbing herself.

"It's too heinous for me to describe it any further," McManus said.

McManus described the crime scene as so grisly that police officers barely spoke to each other while looking through the house. Parts of the child were missing, including pieces that Sanchez allegedly ate.

"At this particular scene you could have heard a pin drop," McManus said. "No one was speaking. It was about as somber as it could have been."

Officers called to Sanchez's house at about 5 a.m. Sunday found her sitting on the couch screaming "I killed my baby! I killed my baby!" McManus said. They found the boy's body in a bedroom.

Police said Sanchez said the devil told her to kill her son and that she was hearing voices.

"It was a spontaneous utterance," McManus said.

Police said Sanchez did not have an attorney, and they declined to identify family members who might speak on her behalf.

No one answered the door Monday at Sanchez's one-story home, where the blinds were shut. A hopscotch pattern and red hearts were drawn on the walk leading up to the house.

Neighbor Luis Yanez, 23, said his kids went to school with one of the small children who lived at the house. He said he often saw a woman playing outside with the children but didn't know whether it was Otty.

"Why would you do that to your baby?" said Yanez, a tire technician. "It brings chills to you. They can't defend themselves."

Authorities said Sanchez and her sister took turns watching the baby Sunday morning, and that the boy was placed in Sanchez's care at about 1:30 a.m. Her sister discovered what happened about three hours later and called police.

Investigators are looking into whether postpartum depression could have played a role in the attack, McManus said. Authorities said they were looking into Sanchez's mental health history to see if there was anything "significant" but did not elaborate.

The price of drink in Temple Bar :o :o

I know it has been discussed on here loads of times but on Friday night after Croker we had to go into town to meet a few friends from Liverpool who were in Dublin for the first time ever and who wanted "to see Temple Bar".

Now its a while since I have been there but I'll tell you what it will be another while before I'm back....one bottle of Heinken cost me more than a six pack does in an off licence in Newry....€6-60 for a pint of Guinness....

I wasnt long getting the Scousers to move elsewhere....



Its amazing what those pubs are getting away with ....and I remember us feeling sorry for the Scandinavians and the sort of dough they were being charged for a glass of beer :-\

Baby cut from mother found alive

Darlene Haynes was eight months pregnant at the time of her death

A baby who was cut from her mother's womb has been found alive two days after the woman's body was discovered, US police have said.

A woman who had the baby with her when found in New Hampshire was charged with being a fugitive from justice.

The girl was said to be in "fairly good health," according to Worcester police Sergeant Kerry Hazelhurst.

The body of her mother, Darlene Haynes, 23, was found in her apartment on Monday, apparently killed days before.

Police named the arrested woman as Julie Corey, 35, described as an acquaintance of Ms Haynes.

She was arrested at a shelter in Plymouth, New Hampshire, after staff became suspicious of her and notified police.

She had told staff she was the mother of the six-day-old baby, the Union Leader newspaper reported.

A male companion with her at the time was questioned by police, but was later released.

Darlene Haynes' body was found in her apartment in Massachusetts on Monday after her landlord noticed a "horrifying smell".

A post-mortem examination revealed that her foetus was missing, and that she had head injuries, but the exact cause of death has yet to be determined.

Toxicology tests were being carried out, Worcester Police Detective Captain Edward McGinn Jr said.

The last known contact anyone had with Ms Haynes was a week ago when she sent a text message to a friend saying she was having drinks with a friend in her apartment.

Ms Haynes had three other girls - aged five years, three years and 18 months.

It is not the first such case in the US.

Lisa Montgomery was given a death sentence two years ago for murdering Bobbi Jo Stinnett, whose foetus she removed. The baby girl survived.

I'd say roughly the size of the whole tip that sits above the finger nail.  On the pinkie. Too little to sew the piece back on, but too big to stitch it together. It's my guitar have too, and the music is my only income right now, so I'm fucked in the interim.

I was looking down at the cutting board and I thought, "puck, you need to tuck your thumb back". Then the shallots got covered in bright red blood and I realized the pinkie was gone.

Was having lunch in a pub there and looked out the window and to my amazement there was a fella taking boxes and boxes filled with dead rabbits!! out of a van and stacking them up on a trolly for another man standing there.  There were dozens and dozens of dead rabbits and this loading went on for about 5-10 minutes and yer man with the trolly wheeled it away down the street.  I think he may have been going to the market but what the f**k!!  Put me off my food.

From wiki...


In Ireland, the autumn months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are September, October and November.[4] However, according to the Irish Calendar which is based on ancient Celtic traditions, autumn counts throughout the months of August, September, and October.[5]

95 year old women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Vandals target 95-year-old's home 
 
A 95-year-old woman is in shock after she awoke to find that her home had been covered with sectarian graffiti.

"Kill all huns; UDA; IRA; PSNI; Combat 18 and Continuity IRA" were daubed in green paint on Annie McCormick's bungalow at Carnview Road, Carnmoney.

The pensioner's milkman spotted the graffiti early on Monday morning and alerted the police.

Mrs McCormick's daughter, Liz McGregor, said her mother was very upset and shaken at such vandalism.

"She is very shaky. I would like police to catch whoever has done this," Mrs McGregor said.

"I wouldn't like this to happen to some other pensioner."

Mrs McGregor said her mother was shocked to be woken by the police and told about the vandalism at her home.

"This has happened in the middle of the night. The milkman reported the mess to the police and they had to bang on her bedroom window to waken her," she said.

But she added: "My mother is a survivor. It's just not right that people have to put up with that."

A clean-up operation is underway at the house and local people have been calling to offer their help and support.

Police have launched an investigation.

Michigan police say a 35-year-old mother used the Internet to track down the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago, seducing and raping the teenage boy when she found him after an online search.

Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, near Detroit, was arraigned this week on three charges of criminal sexual conduct for the alleged rape of her biological son, whom she put up for adoption more than 10 years ago, MyFOXDetroit reported.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won't disclose whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts who are calling the case "an abomination."

"I don't think I've heard of another case like this in my career," said Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit.

"Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man's nightmare. It's an abomination," he told MyFOXDetroit.

"I'm at a loss for words because it's something that we consider to be so out of the normal, so prohibited in every culture that it unnerves every man just to think about it."

Sword surrendered to Waterford Township police on April 24, the Oakland Press reported, but was freed on bond Wednesday following her arraignment. The house at her listed home address is abandoned.

Sword's attorney Kenneth Burch told the Press that his client "maintains her presumption of innocence" and said the accusations of incest have been very difficult for her.

But Sword herself has spoken since she first was arrested, writing on her MySpace page that she was inspired by rapper and former jailbird Lil' Kim because "she rises during the worst of obstacles."

"Reminded me of myself," Sword wrote on the Web page, where she uses the name Aimee Pope.

Though Sword is apparently confident of her ability to recover from the charges, Shiener, the psychiatric doctor, worries that if the allegations are true, the damage to the boy could be long-lasting.

"This could be his first sexual experience, and his first sexual experience could be something so conflicted, so unusual, so prohibited that it will stay with him for life," Shiener said.

Boy, 12, is having sex change, school announces

A school called an emergency assembly to tell children that a 12-year-old male pupil was having a sex change.


The youngster arrived for his first term at secondary school wearing a dress and with long hair in ribboned pigtails after his parents changed his name to a female one by deed poll over the summer holidays.

However, the boy, who is preparing to undergo hormone treatment and sex change surgery, was immediately taunted by classmates who recognised him from primary school.

As a result, the 1,000-pupil school in south east England decided to call an emergency assembly ordering children to treat him as a girl and use his new name.

But parents have reacted angrily after some youngsters were apparently left in tears by the news. They claim that the head teacher should have informed parents of the matter beforehand, so that they could have discussed gender issues with their children.

One mother, whose daughter was a classmate of the boy at primary school, told The Sun: "She [my daughter] told me that the pupil is already a target for bullying.

"What has really upset the parents is that the school didn't see fit to send us a letter first so we could explain it to children in our own way.

"Maybe we could have explained sexual politics and encouraged our kids to be more sensitive.

"They were simply told, 'You may notice one pupil is not present in this assembly – that is because the pupil is now a girl'.

"The girl, as she now is, will go through hell because of how this has been handled."

It is understood that at primary school, the boy's head teacher insisted that children treat him as a boy, despite his feminine behaviour, which included wearing a bikini for swimming lessons, wearing his hair in pigtails and using riding a pink scooter.

However, the secondary school has provided him with a separate lavatory and changing room in its sports hall.

The boy's mother told The Sun: "We are committed to ensuring the very best for our child. We are working with other agencies to ensure our child's welfare is protected."

How the fcuk is this child ever going to adapt to real life.  The fact that the mother spoke to The Sun tells you a lot!

A German man mooning at railway staff in a departing train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and onto the tracks. Skip related content

The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket, a spokesman for police in the northern city of Bremen said.

"It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt," the spokesman said on Monday. "This sort of thing can end up killing you."

Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 metres, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.

The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.

The man -- unharmed except for cuts and bruises -- now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused, police said.

"He was full of remorse when I talked to him," the spokesman said. "And he advised others not to try the same thing."

A German man mooning at railway staff in a departing train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and onto the tracks. Skip related content

The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket, a spokesman for police in the northern city of Bremen said.

"It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt," the spokesman said on Monday. "This sort of thing can end up killing you."

Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 metres, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.

The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.

The man -- unharmed except for cuts and bruises -- now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused, police said.

"He was full of remorse when I talked to him," the spokesman said. "And he advised others not to try the same thing."
Thats brilliant!

Boy punished for cutlery breach 

A six-year-old American boy has been ordered to spend 45 days at a school for troublemakers after he brought his favourite camping cutlery to school.
Zachary Christie took out the combination knife, fork and spoon at lunch, in violation of the school policy of not bringing in knives.
Hundreds of people are expected at a school board meeting about the issue.
Downes Elementary School, in Newark, Delaware, operates a zero tolerance policy on knives, banning them as dangerous instruments.
Officials said they were forced to act regardless of Zachary's age or what he planned to do with the knife, the Associated Press reported.
School board member John Mackenzie said the board could change its policy.
"The policy, of course, needs some additional flexibility," he told AP.
"Politically, zero tolerance is what everybody clamours for, until we start to realise how harsh zero tolerance can be."
Suspension appeal
In other cases school officials have ignored the policy and Mr Mackenzie said he was surprised this had not happened in Zachary's case.
Zachary and his mother supported the policy but were unhappy with its implementation.
He said: "I agree that they shouldn't bring dangerous weapons to school but I don't think the punishment should be this bad.
"It's not fair."
His mother, Debbie Christie, is home-schooling him and is to appeal her son's suspension.

.... someone here would probably get less of  a sentence if they stuck a dagger in someone  :o

Driver Charged For Splashing School Kids


A female motorist is facing court action for deliberately driving through a puddle and splashing a group of school children.


Police received a number of complaints after a 24-second clip of the incident was posted on YouTube.

In the footage, her partner gives a commentary as she motors down a road in Plymouth, Devon.

"Puddle at the bottom of the hill coming up, kids at the bottom of the hill - come on!" he shouts with glee.

The clip, filmed from inside the car, shows the vehicle splashing several children standing at a bus stop.

Officers said the 29-year-old woman had voluntarily contacted them and was interviewed on Sunday.

She has been reported for careless driving and a file is being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police told Sky News Online: "Deliberately splashing people by driving through a big puddle could mean that the motorist was driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.

"There is also the real danger that by driving through standing water this could cause the driver of the vehicle to lose control and could result in a road traffic collision.

"People involved in this practice could find themselves prosecuted and points put on their licence."

Driving through a puddle to splash bystanders is an offence of "careless, and inconsiderate, driving" under the Road Traffic Act section 3 and carries a fine of up to £2,500.

Four years ago, a driver who admitted soaking a workman by driving through a puddle was fined £150 and given three penalty points by magistrates in Yeovil.

Man in wheelchair left on Snowdon

Mountain rescuers said the call-out was avoidable

Rescuers had to help a man in a wheelchair down Snowdon after a group of people who had carried him there left him on his own during the ascent.

The six martial arts enthusiasts were taking part in a fundraising record attempt and had carried the man up Llanberis Path.

They decided to leave him before they reached the peak, and were too tired when they returned to carry him down.

They called out mountain rescuers, who criticised the group's actions.

Llanberis mountain rescue team carried the 31-year-old man, who they said was cold, from the foot of Allt Moses to the mountain railway, and put him on a train to the foot of the mountain.

The group from Coventry had been attempting to see how many martial arts enthusiasts could climb the mountain at one time.

They were carrying the man as part of the attempt, but abandoned the effort when the hike along the path became too tough.

The rescue team said the call-out on Saturday could have been avoided if the party had turned around with the wheelchair instead of continuing the ascent.

'Fat for cosmetics' murder suspects arrested in Peru 

Some of the suspects were carrying bottles of fat when arrested
Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic uses in Europe.

The gang allegedly targeted people on remote roads, luring them with fake job offers before extracting their fat to sell it for $15,000 (£9,000) a litre.

Other suspected gang members, including two Italian nationals, remain at large.

Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances of up to 60 people in the region.

At a news conference in the capital, police showed reporters two bottles containing human body fat and images of one of the alleged victims.

One of the alleged killings is reported to have taken place in mid-September, with the person's body tissue removed for sale.

Cmdr Angel Toledo told Reuters some of the suspects had "declared and stated how they murdered people with the aim being to extract their fat in rudimentary labs and sell it".

Police said they suspect the fat was sold to cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies in Europe, but have not confirmed any such connection.

Northern Ireland Office staff received £600K bonuses 

Top civil servants will still get a 3.5% increase in basic salary
Northern Ireland Office staff received performance payments of almost £600,000 in 2008-09, it has been revealed.

In a Commons written reply, NIO Minister Paul Goggins told Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Vince Cable the largest bonus award was £11,000.

Performance payments were made to 563 members of staff, or 28% of those qualifying for them.

He said £260,865 went on special performance payments in the period, with the largest payment being £900.

Mr Goggins said 996 staff received the special payments, 49% of those qualifying for them.

In the previous year, more than £609,000 was spent on performance payments and £227,000 on special performance payments.

Headed by Secretary of State Shaun Woodward, the NIO deals with matters not devolved to the Stormont Executive such as constitutional and security issues, including policing and criminal justice.

It runs a number of agencies including the Northern Ireland Prison Service, the Compensation Agency for Northern Ireland, Forensic Science Northern Ireland and the Youth Justice Agency.

It also funds two legal offices - the Crown Solicitors Office and the Public Prosecution Service.

A chemistry student has been found dead with his jaw blown off by what is believed to be exploding chewing gum, reports have said. Skip related content
Related photos / videos Enlarge photo The 25-year-old's disfigured remains were discovered at his parent's home in the northern Ukrainian city of Konotop, reports in the Eastern European country said.

The young man, who studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute, was working at a computer late on Saturday when the alleged explosion happened.

"A loud pop was heard from the student's room," the ukranews.com website said, citing an aide to the city's police chief.

"When his relatives entered the room, they saw that the lower part of the young man's face had been blown off."

A forensic examination established that the chewing gum was covered with an unidentified chemical substance, thought to be some type of explosive material.

The student apparently had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it into citric acid, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.

Officers found both citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the body, the agency continued.

Investigators suspect that the student simply confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.

Forensic experts were to travel from Kiev to investigate the substance, as local authorities feared it may explode if transported.

A WTF, but a funny one  :D

A man has admitted wearing military medals he did not earn at an Armistice Day parade in Warwickshire.

Roger Day, 61, of Church Street, Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, was arrested after he was seen wearing 17 medals at the parade in Bedworth on 11 November.

He pleaded guilty at Nuneaton Magistrates' Court to unlawfully using military decoration.

The court heard how Day had started to make up stories to impress his new wife, who was 24 years younger.

He was sentenced to carry out 60 hours of community service.

Organisers of the parade, Bedworth Armistice Day Association, said they became suspicious of Day's 17 medals, which included awards for serving in World War II, the Military Medal, and SAS badges.

They said no person could have lived long enough to have collected so many medals.

Day, who worked as a carpenter, was videoed appearing in the parade.

He was prosecuted under the 1955 Army Act.

Why do delivery men deliver things during the day when a lot of people work??? if you don't get it then ya have to pick it up at some depot 25 miles away.

can understand delivering to business but to homes during those hours is just silly.

A man who shoplifted more than £6,000 of goods from Ikea including a bed and a wardrobe has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Jason Millar, 27, of Lyndhurst View Road in Belfast pleaded guilty to shoplifting from a superstore in the city on 12 separate occasions.

The offences took place between July and August 2009.

Millar was spared immediate imprisonment after the court heard of his psychiatric difficulties.

CCTV cameras captured the defendant by-passing checkouts and wheeling trolleys loaded with furniture out of the store. Prosecutors said the total value of goods stolen was £6,350.

A defence lawyer told Belfast Magistrates' Court most of the items were still in flatpacks and brought back to the retailer.

He described how some were in the defendant's car because the house could not "absorb" all of what had been stolen.


The lawyer urged against jailing his client due to what he described as the exceptional circumstances of the case.


Self-destruction

He added: "One can distinguish this man from the typical professional criminal.

"Suddenly in this period between July and August, 12 times day in, day out, these offences are carried out quite brazenly.

"This man's sense of self-destruction and fatalism hung over him at the time - this was a man begging to be caught."

The court heard Millar's mother died when he was young, and how he witnessed his brother being knocked down and killed a year later.

A close soldier friend later committed suicide with his own gun while on the phone to his parents.


Passing sentence, the judge pointed out that under normal circumstances the offences were serious enough for immediate custody.

However, she acknowledged his guilty plea and the contents of the reports.

She sentenced Millar to eight months in prison, suspended, and fined him £400. He was given another four month suspended sentence for possessing and cultivating cannabis police found when they raided his home.

I didnt know losing loved ones when you were young meant you could do what you want.

well two people dont need to brush their teeth together.
To give someone toilet roll you dont need to enter the bathroom and if someone is in the shower and someone else needs the bog (I'd be telling them to hold it) the person is in the shower so not taking up any of the floor room.

A bit of sympathy wouldn't go amiss either I'm sure. The judge would know wether this was some shitty excuse or if it should be taken into consideration. I'd hope anyway.

Quote
A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf's snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.
 
"I've seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I've seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal," the 29-year-old veterinary said.

The lamb's head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep.

Veterinaries said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of improper nutrition since the fodder for the lamb's mother was abundant with vitamin A, CNNTurk.com reports.

In Zimbabwe, a goat gave birth to a similar youngster in September 2009. The mutant baby born with a human-like head stayed alive for several hours until the frightened village residents killed him.

The governor of the province where the ugly goat was born said that the little goat was the fruit of unnatural relationship between the female goat and a man.

"This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control. We often hear cases of human beings who commit bestiality but this is the first time for such an act to produce a product with human features," he added.

The mutant creature was hairless. Local residents said that even dogs were afraid to approach the bizarre animal.

The locals burnt the body of the little goat, and biologists had no chance to study the rare mutation.

Pints, where a horrific abomination of nature would result, there can be no miscegenation of the species.

Therefore, not even Ian Óg, the Rev Will, or Jeff O'Donnell'son could get a sheep pregnant (no matter how much they wanted to), it would be just too traumatic for the ewe (or ram in one or two cases).

I seen a programme once about these 'Zooaphiles' who were having sexual relationships
with dogs. It was Channel 4 I think. One boy was married to a donkey. They were from red neck America. It was sick shit. This fucer started crying when he spoke of his love for the donkey.
Another woman was getting bucked by a big dog. Didn't show them at it or anything but they sat with the animals talking about it as if it were totally normal.  :-\

Attacker throws animal semen over girls in Bury 

Police have issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to
A man who throws animal semen on schoolgirls is being hunted by police following a sixth attack.

Detectives in Greater Manchester, described the assaults, all in the Bury area, as "disgusting".

The man follows young girls before they discover they have been smeared with the liquid.

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to. The first attack was reported in November and the latest was last week.


  None of the victims was physically harmed in anyway but this is still a disgusting act

Det Insp Lynne Vernon, Greater Manchester Police
Det Insp Lynne Vernon, from Greater Manchester Police, said: "We have six separate incidents and do not know the motivation behind them - while we do not want people to be frightened unnecessarily, we are taking these reports seriously.

"None of the victims was physically harmed in anyway but this is still a disgusting act and the person responsible must be caught.

"I'd ask people to take a good look at this image and if you know anything about this man, please contact us.

"He is not necessarily connected to all of the incidents but we would like to speak to him as part of our inquiries."

The first victim, a 14-year-old girl, was followed by a man on Kennedy Drive in Unsworth, on 13 November.

He asked her the time and was standing uncomfortably close to her.

Police tests

When she got home, she noticed a sticky liquid on her tights.

The substance was analysed by police and later identified as animal semen.

A 15-year-old girl was smeared with liquid by a man on 7 December on Ostrich Lane, Prestwich.

Later that day another 15-year-old was followed.

On 17 December a 14-year-old girl was in a shop on Mill Gate in Bury town centre with her mother when a man bumped into her and wiped a white substance on her bottom.

The next day, a man followed two 13-year-old girls on Bury Old Road, near to the M60 in Prestwich.

In the latest attack, on 25 January, a man approached two girls, aged 15 and 16, on Pinfold Lane, Whitefield, and asked them the time.

One of the girls then noticed liquid dripping from her skirt.

In each incident, the offender was described as being a white man, aged between 25 and 35 and was carrying a bag.

Girl Buried Alive In Grisly Honour Killing


Last Updated 21:06 04/02/2010
Damien Pearse, Sky News Online
A 16-year-old girl was buried alive by relatives in a gruesome Turkish honour killing - because she befriended boys.

Acting on a tip-off, police discovered Medine Memi's body in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre-deep hole in a chicken pen outside her house.

A post mortem revealed that she had a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning that she was buried alive, foresic experts told the Anatolia agency.

The girl was discovered in Kahta town, Adiyaman province, 40 days after she went missing.

"The autopsy result is blood-curdling," one anonymous expert said.

"According to our findings, the girl - who had no bruises on her body and no sign of narcotics or poison in her blood - was alive and fully conscious when she was buried."
Medine's father and grandfather have been arrested and jailed pending trial over her killing, the agency said.The father is reported to have said in his testimony that the family was unhappy she had male friends.

In honour killings, most prevalent in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, a so-called family council names a member to murder a female relative.

A victim is targeted if she is considered to have sullied the family honour, usually by engaging in an extra-marital affair.

But the practice has gone so far as to kill rape victims or women who simply talked to strange men.

False limbs expert struck off over 'wrong foot'
Astley Ainslie hospital
The claims relate to Malcolm Griffiths' time at the Astley Ainslie hospital

An artificial limbs specialist who fitted a left foot to a patient who had lost his right leg has been struck off.

Malcolm Griffiths admitted 16 charges relating to 11 patients at a rehabilitation clinic in Edinburgh.

The Health Professions Council heard complaints against Mr Griffiths, relating to his time at the Astley Ainslie Hospital.

One of the charges was he fitted a left foot to Patrick Morrison, 76, whose right foot had been removed.

The hearing heard that Mr Griffiths also failed to spot his error at two later check-ups.

Mr Morrison, from Bathgate, should have been given an artificial limb and right foot.

Mr Griffiths appeared before the conduct and competence committee of the Health Professions Council at the hearing in Edinburgh.

The charges he faced included fitting a lower limb with the wrong foot and and failing to provide adequate prosthetic care, which meant the socket required remaking.

Mr Morrison said he had been forced to have the limb fitted after an amputated toe became infected with MRSA following hospital treatment.

The specialist also faced several other claims relating to his time at the Astley Ainslie's rehabilitation centre.

These included failing to keep adequate notes, failing to carry out repairs and leaving a patient in pain.

Mr Griffiths' lawyer said his client admitted all the charges against him and requested that his name be removed from the health profession's register.

Extra small condoms for 12 year-old boys go on sale in Switzerland

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7361181/Extra-small-condoms-for-12-year-old-boys-go-on-sale-in-Switzerland.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7361181/Extra-small-condoms-for-12-year-old-boys-go-on-sale-in-Switzerland.html)

Alexandra Williams in Geneva
Published: 8:13PM GMT 03 Mar 2010

Called the Hotshot, the condom has been produced after government research showed 12 to14-year-olds did not use sufficient protection when having sex.

The study, conducted on behalf of the Federal Commission for Children and Youth, interviewed 1,480 people aged 10 to 20.


It showed more 12 to 14-year-olds were having sex, in comparison with the 1990s.

The Hotshot condoms, which cost 7fr60 (£4.70) for a packet of six, have been created by Lamprecht AG, a leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland.

The company has said the UK would be "top priority" if they expanded abroad, considering that it has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.

Nysse Norballe, a spokesman for the company, said: "At the moment we are only producing the Hotshot in Switzerland. But the UK is certainly a very attractive market since there is a very high rate of underage conception. The UK would definitely be top priority if we marketed abroad."

A standard condom has a diameter of 2ins (5.2cm) in comparison with the Hotshot's diameter of 1.7ins (4.5cm). Both are the same length – 7.4ins (19cm).

According to a German study of 12,970 13 to 20-year-olds, a quarter said a standard condom was too large.

Family planning groups and the Swiss Aids Federation campaigned to have the Hotshot produced after a number of studies, including the government study researched at the Centre for Development and Personality Psychology at Basel University.

Nancy Bodmer, who headed the research, said: "The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behaviour. They have more of a tendency not to protect themselves. They do not have a very developed sexual knowledge. They do not understand the consequences of what they are doing and leave the young girls to take care of the consequences.

"The results of this study suggest that early prevention makes sense."

The age of consent in Switzerland is 16, although if the age difference is not more than three years there will be no punishment. Other concessions exist if the older person is not more than 20 or believed the younger person to be at least 16.

The Swiss initiative comes as the UK government announces an overhaul of its teenage pregnancy strategy after new figures showed conception rate among 18s were not falling fast enough.

The UK has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.

In 1999, the government pledged to halve the teenage conception rate within 10 years.

But data released last week from The Office for National Statistics shows it has clearly failed to make any significant impact.

QuoteAN alleged pervert was caught with a picture of a man having sex with a dead SQUID, a court heard today.

Andrew Dymond, 46, was netted when cops apparently found a haul of grossly offensive porn on his home computer.

JPs heard the sea creature was clearly dead in the picture and a man was having sexual intercourse with it.

Dymond is charged with possessing an image of someone "performing an act of intercourse with a dead animal, namely an octopus/squid, which was grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character".

He faces a total of 25 porn charges and entered no pleas when he appeared before magistrates.

Prosecutors claim Dymond also made 14 indecent photos of children and possessed an additional 57 child porn images.

He is also alleged to have had photos of a person performing sex acts with horses and dogs.

Four of the allegations state he had images showing acts likely to cause "serious injury to a woman's breasts" and private parts.

It is alleged the images range from level one to four. Five is considered the most serious.

Defending, Leigh Davies, told Swansea magistrates: "This is a case that's probably better dealt with in the Crown Court."

Dymond, of Mumbles, Swansea, was freed on conditional bail and is due to appear again on May 12.

Bench chairwoman Sonia Walters told him: "You're not to access the internet in any way, whether that's through a computer or a telephone or anyway possible."

Dymond was also banned from having any contact with a child under the age of 16.

QuoteMan used penis to assault female police officer

A man who assaulted a female police officer with his penis has been fined.

Marium Varinauskas, 28, tried to strike the officer on the head with his penis when she was called out to his flat, but she got out of the way.

Lithuanian Varinauskas admitted a charge of assault at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and was fined £600.

The court heard he had been drinking heavily and could not remember committing the offence at his home in Aberdeen.

Police were called to his home by his girlfriend, who had complained about him being drunk last November.

They arrived to find the self-employed engineer sitting on the sofa wearing a pair of underpants.

Fiscal depute Elaine Lynch said: "The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck."

Defence solicitor John Hardie said: "He was sitting on the couch drunk with his pants on.

"He can't remember anything but accepts that if that's what the police say then that's what happened.

"He has never been so drunk before that day and accepts he has to take full responsibility. He apologises profusely and is extremely embarrassed."

His not guilty plea to committing a breach of the peace by uttering offensive and sexual remarks was accepted by the Crown.

Sheriff Annella Cowan was told that the Lithuanian had now quit binge drinking because of the incident. /quote]

Crash driver who hit pensioners 'had no trousers' 

 
A man was driving with no trousers when he careered across the road and crashed into an oncoming car injuring two pensioners, a court has heard.

Colm Nibbs, a father of three, from Trentagh, Letterkenny, admitted careless driving and was banned for a year at Donegal Circuit Court.

The court was told Nibbs spent his 30th birthday in hospital.

In the next bed was the 69-year-old man from the other car, who suffered very serious injuries.

Nibbs, a father-of-three, admitted careless driving at Barnesmore Gap, Donegal, on 9 September 2007.

His car hit the car in which the elderly man and his wife were travelling.

Nibbs told gardaí that he had opened a can of a caffeine drink while driving and spilled it onto his jeans.

He then removed the jeans to put them near the car heater and continued driving.

Nibbs told the court on Thursday that he had thought every day about the damage he had done.

The judge said there was no evidence of speed or reckless driving and that Nibbs may have bent down to pick up the jeans for a split second.

Nibbs was fined 500 euros, ordered to do 100 hours' community service and banned from driving for a year.

Jaysus 14 and 15 year olds... fooks sake

Nine charged over Irish teen's death in US
Tuesday, 30 March 2010 11:12

Nine teenagers have been charged in the US in connection with the death of a Co Clare schoolgirl in Massachusetts earlier this year.

Seven of the accused are girls and three of the nine are juveniles.

Four girls and two boys face charges including statutory rape, assault and stalking.

15-year old Phoebe Prince, who was originally from Fanore in west Clare, took her own life on 14 January.

She had allegedly endured weeks of bullying on the social networking forum Facebook, via text messages and in the corridors of South Hadley High School.

The teenager and her family had moved from Fanore in to South Hadley, where they have relatives, last year.

District Attorney in South Hadley, Elizabeth Scheibel, said that the the accuseds' 'relentless activity directed toward Phoebe designed to humiliate her and to make it impossible for her to remain at school'.

She went on to say that: 'their conduct far exceeded the limits of normal teenage relationship related quarrels'.

Jaysus it's actually worse than I thought....  WTF is wrong with these people



The untouchable Mean Girls

By Kevin Cullen
Globe Columnist / January 24, 2010

Like a lot of kids her age, Phoebe Prince was a swan, always beautiful and sometimes awkward.

Last fall, she moved from Ireland into western Massachusetts, a new town, a new high school, a new country, a new culture. She was 15, when all that matters is being liked and wearing the right clothes and just fitting in.

She was a freshman and she had a brief fling with a senior, a football player, and for this she became the target of the Mean Girls, who decided then and there that Phoebe didn't know her place and that Phoebe would pay.

Kids can be mean, but the Mean Girls took it to another level, according to students and parents. They followed Phoebe around, calling her a slut. When they wanted to be more specific, they called her an Irish slut.

The name-calling, the stalking, the intimidation was relentless.

Ten days ago, Phoebe was walking home from school when one of the Mean Girls drove by in a car. An insult and an energy drink can came flying out the car window in Phoebe's direction.

Phoebe kept walking, past the abuse, past the can, past the white picket fence, into her house. Then she walked into a closet and hanged herself. Her 12-year-old sister found her.

You would think this would give the bullies who hounded Phoebe some pause. Instead, they went on Facebook and mocked her in death.

They told State Police detectives they did nothing wrong, had nothing to do with Phoebe killing herself.

And then they went right back to school and started badmouthing Phoebe.

They had a dance, a cotillion, at the Log Cabin in Holyoke two days after Phoebe's sister found her in the closet, and some who were there say one of the Mean Girls bragged about how she played dumb with the detectives who questioned her.

Last week, one of the Springfield TV stations sent a crew to South Hadley High to talk to the kids.

One girl was interviewed on camera, and she said what was common knowledge: that bullies were stalking the corridors of South Hadley High.

As soon as the TV crew was out of sight, one of the Mean Girls came up and slammed the girl who had been interviewed against a locker and punched her in the head.

The Mean Girls are pretty, and popular, and play sports.

So far, they appear to be untouchable, too.

South Hadley is a nice, comfortable middle-class suburb that hugs the Connecticut River nearby and a certain attitude.

"Things like this aren't supposed to happen in South Hadley,'' said Darby O'Brien, a high school parent, wondering why the bullies who tormented Phoebe are still in school. "And so instead of confronting the evil among us, the reality that there are bullies roaming the corridors at South Hadley High, people are blaming the victim, looking for excuses why a 15-year-old girl would do this. People are in denial.''

School officials say there are three investigations going on. They say these things take time.

That doesn't explain why the Mean Girls who tortured Phoebe remain in school, defiant, unscathed.

"What kind of message does this send to the good kids?'' O'Brien asked. "How many kids haven't come forward to tell what they know because they see the bullies walking around untouched?''

They were supposed to hold a big meeting on Tuesday to talk about all this, but now that's off for a couple of weeks.

O'Brien is thinking about going to that meeting and suggesting that they have the kids who bullied Phoebe look at the autopsy photos.

"Let them see what a kid who hung herself looks like,'' he said.

Last week, Phoebe was supposed to visit Ireland, where she grew up, and she was excited because she was going to see her father for the first time in months.

She did end up going back to Ireland after all, and when her father saw her she was in a casket.

Phoebe's family decided to bury her in County Clare. They wanted an ocean between her and the people who hounded her to the grave.

'Alien invasion' April Fools' story angers Jordan mayor
Bright lights from Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Al Ghad report said the UFOs lit up the whole town

A Jordanian mayor is considering suing a newspaper over an April Fools' Day report saying aliens had landed nearby.

Al-Ghad's front-page story on 1 April said flying saucers flown by 3m (10ft) creatures had landed in the desert town of Jafr, in eastern Jordan.

It said communication networks went down and frightened townspeople fled into the streets.

The mayor, Mohammed Mleihan, said parents were so frightened they did not send their children to school that day.

"Students didn't go to school, their parents were frightened and I almost evacuated the town's 13,000 residents," Mr Mleihan told the Associated Press.

"People were scared that aliens would attack them."

He immediately notified the security authorities, who he said combed the area looking for the aliens. They did not find any.

Big jokers

Al-Ghad's front page piece said the giant aliens had arrived on flying saucers lighting up the Jordanian desert town of Jafr, some 300 kilometres (190 miles) east of Amman.

Moussa Barhoumeh, Al Ghad's managing editor, said the newspaper was simply having some good natured fun on April Fools' Day, and had apologised for any inconvenience caused.

"We meant to entertain, not scare people," he said.

Mr Barhoumeh did not say why Jafr was chosen as the butt of the joke, but the area is notorious for a nearby military base that sometimes hosts US troops for joint training exercises.

Human rights groups claim the base once housed alleged al-Qaida militants, some of whom were transferred from Guantanamo Bay, but Jordan has denied the charge.

While April Fools' Day jokes appearing in the press may be a great British tradition, this is not the case in Jordan, says the BBC's Dale Gavlak in the capital, Amman.

While Egyptians are renowned as the big jokers in the Arab world, able to easily laugh at just about anything, the Jordanians are considered more serious.

Although some are trying to change that perception by hosting a yearly international comedy festival in Amman, for Jafr's mayor, this was clearly one joke that just went too far, our correspondent adds.

QuoteNew York native Carlos Simon-Timmerman bought a DVD of adult film star Lupe Fuentes at a flea market while vacationing in Venezuela, only to be stopped in San Juan, Puerto Rico on his way home where he was arrested and charged with illegal possession and transportation of images involving minors.

Facing a 20-year maximum prison sentence Simon-Timmerman thought he was done for, until RadarOnline.com learned that Fuentes herself flew to Puerto Rico on April 6, 2010 to appear in court, show documentation proving her age and ultimately set Simon-Timmerman free.

Simon-Timmerman spent two months in jail prior to the court case because a Special Agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement had testified that Fuentes was "definitely" under the age of 18 in the video, as well as testimony from a pediatrician that had deemed her 100% underage; both of which Fuentes proved wrong when she showed up in court.

At the time Little Lupe the Innocent; Don't Be Fooled By Her Baby Face was produced, Fuentes was able to prove she was 19-years-old and all charges against Simon-Timmerman were dismissed. "Lupe walked into the courtroom and it was like a courtroom drama movie," Assistant Public Defender Hector L. Ramos-Vega said. "Justice was served and Carlos is a free man thanks to Lupe."

"Lupe is not only the world's youngest looking porn star, but a humanitarian who cares about justice and cares about her fans," Ramos-Vega concluded.

German man 'marries' his dying cat


A German man has unofficially married his cat after the animal fell ill and vets told him it might not live much longer, Bild newspaper reports.
It says Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, paid an actress 300 euros (£260,$395) to officiate at the ceremony, as marrying an animal is illegal in Germany.
Mr Mitzscherlich said he had wanted to tie the knot before his asthmatic cat Cecilia died.
The cat and groom have lived together for 10 years.
"Cecilia is such a trusting creature. We cuddle all the time and she has always slept in my bed," Mr Mitzscherlich, a postman from the eastern town of Possendorf, told Bild.
Actress Christin-Maria Lohri, who officiated the ceremony, was quoted as saying: "At first I thought it was a joke. But for Mr Mitzscherlich it's a dream come true".

Got a customer complaint the other day -

I bought (product) and when I went to use it it was off. It's not up to it's usual high standard.

I've had a really bad year. I had my handbag stolen containing my Engagement, phone, digital camera, make up personal items.

Would you know anyone who has a phone or digital camera? Do you know anyone who has a DVD player for my father who is in a nursing home?


Yours etc.

Zapatista's reply:

Why are you blaming Sinn Féin for this? And if SF DID steal your handbag, they were acting in defence of their community and were implementing the mandate of the 1919 Dáil. You obviously have an anti-SF agenda. In any case ownership of DVDs, digital cameras and mobile phones is capitalist decadence and in flagrant defiance of the rights of workers to equal distribution of wealth.

F**k off, you Stoop!

Cage man rips out mate's heart, eyes

The Daily Telegraph May 27, 2010 7:45AM

A MIXED martial arts cage fighter gouged out his friend's heart and eyeballs after drinking mushroom tea.

Jarrod Wyatt, a 26-year-old California man has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in which he allegedly gouged out his friend's heart and eyeballs.

According to prosecutors, deputies were called after a witness reportedly saw Wyatt in his living room, standing naked over his friend's lifeless body.

The witness told authorities Wyatt had been acting strangely earlier in the day after drinking "some kind of mushroom tea."

The witness ran for a payphone to call police after Wyatt informed him he was about to cut his friend's heart out.

Investigators say a deputy arrived at the residence to find the victim on a couch. Most of the man's face was missing including an eyeball that was found in the middle of the living room.

Many of the man's body parts had been removed - including the heart, which had been gouged out through an incision in his chest.

Medical examiners said the man's cause of death was a result of having his heart removed while he was still alive - causing him to bleed to death.

In addition to murder, Wyatt is accused of torture because medical examiners believe the victim was conscious and aware during phases of his dismemberment.

Wyatt, who trained as a mixed martial arts cage fighter, was arraigned in March on charges of murder, aggravated mayhem and torture.

He didn't enter a plea on his initial court appearance because he appeared to still be under the effects of psychedelic mushrooms at the time.

Tipsy gives Dipsy a broken nose


A Castlebar man who dressed up as the Tellytubbies character Dipsy could have been forgiven for saying 'tellytubbies say uh oh' when another Castlebar man approached him with intent last Halloween before leaving him with a broken nose.
Michael Flynn of 33, Rowan Drive, had been drinking since midday on Sunday, October 25 when, at 3am the following morning, he heard that a friend of his had been allegedly 'bottled' by someone wearing a green Tellytubbies costume, that as worn by the character Dipsy. Many people were dressed in fancy dress for Halloween.
However, it turned out that there was more than one green Dipsy costume in the town that night and so the rather tipsy Flynn saw a green Dipsy costume and so saw red as well.
The end result was that Flynn walked straight up to Keith Murray, an entirely innocent party who was dressed as Dipsy, on the street at 3am and thumped him once before walking away. Murray was left with a broken nose.
In a statement to Gardaí, Flynn said 'sorry I punched him and I hope he is okay'.
Defence solicitor Aidan Crowley told Castlebar District Court last Wednesday that Flynn was drunk and angry on the night and apologised for his actions. Flynn also presented €1,000 to Keith Murray as a gesture of remorse.
Mr Crowley added that his client was due to leave for Australia the following Saturday (May 22) for work as a fitter for two years. He had been unable to get work in Ireland recently. He asked that a conviction not be recorded as it would hinder his ability to travel.
Judge Mary Devins issued the probation act and advised Flynn not to get 'so terribly drunk' in Australia.

Too unfit to run: Two-year-old who smokes 40 cigarettes a day puffs away on a toy truck
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/26/article-0-09C25401000005DC-825_634x433.jpg)

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he looks like a parody of a middle-aged lorry driver.

But the image covers up a much more disturbing truth: At just the tender age of two, Ardi Rizal's health has been so ruined by his 40-a-day habit that he now struggles to move by himself.
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/26/article-0-09C254F5000005DC-619_634x813.jpg)

The four-stone Indonesia toddler is certainly far too unfit to run around with other children - and his condition is  set to rapidly deteriorate.

Truck on bad habits: Ardi Rizal sits smoking on his favourite toy at home in Musi Banyuasin, Indonesia

But, despite local officials' offer to buy the Rizal family a new car if the boy quits, his parents feel unable to stop him because he throws massive tantrums if they don't indulge him.

His mother, Diana, 26, wept: 'He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.'

Ardi will smoke only one brand and his habit costs his parents £3.78 a day in Musi Banyuasin, in Indonesia's South Sumatra province.

But in spite of this, his fishmonger father Mohammed, 30, said: 'He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem.'
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/26/article-0-09C253F2000005DC-732_634x424.jpg)
Ardi's youth is the extreme of a disturbing trend. Data from the Central Statistics Agency showed 25 per cent of Indonesian children aged three to 15 have tried cigarettes, with 3.2 per cent of those active smokers.

The percentage of five to nine year olds lighting up increased from 0.4 per cent in 2001 to 2.8 per cent in 2004, the agency reported.

A video of a four-year-old Indonesian boy blowing smoke rings appeared briefly on YouTube in March, prompting outrage before it was removed from the site.

Child advocates are speaking out about the health damage to children from second-hand smoke, and the growing pressure on them to smoke in a country where one-third of the population uses tobacco and single cigarettes can be bought for a few cents.

Seto Mulyadi, chairman of Indonesia's child protection commission, blames the increase on aggressive advertising and parents who are smokers.

'A law to protect children and passive smokers should be introduced immediately in this country,' he said.

A health law passed in 2009 formally recognizes that smoking is addictive, and an anti-smoking coalition is pushing for tighter restrictions on smoking in public places, advertising bans and bigger health warnings on cigarette packages.

But a bill on tobacco control has been stalled because of opposition from the tobacco industry.

The bill would ban cigarette advertising and sponsorship, prohibit smoking in public, and add graphic images to packaging.

Benny Wahyudi, a senior official at the Industry Ministry, said the government had initiated a plan to try to limit the number of smokers, including dropping production to 240 billion cigarettes this year, from 245 billion in 2009.

'The government is aware of the impact of smoking on health and has taken efforts, including lowering cigarette production, increasing its tax and limiting smoking areas,' he said.

Mr Mulyadi said a ban on advertising is key to putting the brakes on child and teen smoking.

'If cigarette advertising is not banned, there will be more kids whose lives are threatened because of smoking,' he said.

Ubiquitous advertising hit a bump last month when a cigarette company was forced to withdraw its sponsorship of pop star Kelly Clarkson's concert following protests from fans and anti-tobacco groups.

However, imposing a non-smoking message will be difficult in Indonesia, the world's third-largest tobacco consumer.

Tubagus Haryo Karbyanto, a member of the National Commission of Tobacco Control, said Indonesia must also address the social conditions that lead to smoking, such as family influence and peer pressure.

'The promotion of health has to be integrated down to the smallest units in our society, from public health centres and local health care centres to the family,' he was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Globe on Friday.

Health Minister Endang Sedyaningsih conceded turning young people off smoking will be difficult in a country where it is perceived as positive because cigarette companies sponsor everything from scholarships to sporting events.

'This is the challenge we face in protecting youth from the dangers of smoking,' she said in a statement on the ministry's website.

Golf course dispute sends 1 man to hospital, 2 others to jail
May 31st, 2010 @ 9:50pm

PROVO -- Golf is known as a gentleman's game. But on Saturday morning in Provo, there were no gentlemen around.

In fact, there was no etiquette at all, as one golfer was taken to the hospital and two others went to jail.

Late Saturday morning, play on the Reserve at East Bay golf course in Provo turned violent over a dispute between two golfing parties about "playing through."


John Black, left, and Brice Williams, right, were arrested after the attacks.
According to Provo police, it happened at the tee box on hole No. 10 where a group thought they had permission from the course marshal to go ahead.

In the end, two of those golfers ended up under arrest.

Police say the two golfing parties started exchanging words, which escalated to a golf driver being used as a weapon.

All of the sudden, police dispatchers got a flood of 911 calls -- including one from each of the two men now under arrest -- asking for help.

Not only did the 41-year-old victim suffer what police said was a hematoma on his back, he sustained a puncture wound and abrasions to his thigh after the driver broke in half and was used as a blunt instrument.

The victim also reported he was punched several times.

John Black, 53, and Brice Williams, 59, were booked on charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.

Police are not commenting about who may have started the altercation or if the victim became physical; it's all said to be under investigation.

There was a much more peaceful atmosphere at the course Monday afternoon, where golfers called the altercation unbelievable.

The pro at the Reserve at East Bay golf course declined to respond to Saturday's incident.

Because of the holiday, KSL could not get an update on the victim's condition.

And it has been an extra long weekend for the two men arrested. They were still in jail Monday night, waiting to see a judge. They'll get a bail hearing Tuesday morning

No disrespect Screen Machine, but I think you have personal issues here. That man has no impact on your life or shouldn't have. I suggest you are unhappy with some aspect inside yourself and are trying to find faults in others to compensate for this.

Woman jailed for testicle attack 
A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.
Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That's yours."

Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

'Pulled hard'

Sentencing Monti, Judge Charles James said it was "a very serious injury" and that Monti was not acting in self-defence.

The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but "open relationship" with Monti towards the end of May last year.

The pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back for drinks with friends at Mr Jones's house.

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.

In his statement, Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard".

  I am in no way a violent person

Amanda Monti

He added: "That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones's testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.

She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.

She said: "It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person."

The letter added: "I have challenged myself to explain what has happened but still I just cannot remember. This has caused much anguish to me and will do for the rest of my life."

Twin girls injured in suspected fox attack in London


Nine-month-old twin girls are in hospital after reports they were attacked by a fox at their home in east London.

Police said officers and paramedics were called to a house at around 2200 BST on Saturday.

The little girls are being treated at the Royal London Hospital and are described as being in a "serious but stable condition".

Both are understood to have arm wounds and one has facial injuries.

The fox was believed to have been in an upstairs room as the babies slept.

A police spokesman said: "The incident is not being treated as suspicious.

"We were called to reports of a fox attack. Officers and the ambulance found two girls with injuries."

In 2002, mother Sue Eastwood reported that her baby boy, Louis, was left injured after a fox crept into their house in Kent while she slept.

The fourteen-week-old suffered bite marks on his head after the animal darted into the sitting room of the house in Dartford.

You are something else - trying to belittle a news story of little toddlers mauled by a fox in which the link you posted reads - Nine-month-old twin girls are seriously ill in hospital after apparently being mauled by a fox as they slept in their cots in east London.

Yet you get on your f**king high horse when and throw false accusations because you think someone may make a joke about some nutter who killed 12.  With such flippant remarks about children and parenting you would have to wonder why your in the adoption process.

dry up ffs, I'm not trying to belittle anything.
fox seems to think my comment was directed at him but it wasnt, it was genuine.

Is this what we're going to go through with you, you following me around the board until you piss off again to reinvent a new username, make about 50 normal posts with it before the obsession with me starts again?
and then you'll be the first shouting "get a life" to others who post here and telling us what a busy life you live?

Possibly a wind up; if not... wtf would you escape on a bulldozer... hardly a high speed get away... though definitely would take some stopping all the same.

From BBC.co.uk: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/10333211.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/10333211.stm)

Puppy thrown at German biker gang

A German student "mooned" a group of Hell's Angels and hurled a puppy at them before escaping on a stolen bulldozer, police have said.

The man drove up to a Hell's Angels clubhouse near Munich, wearing only a pair of shorts and carrying a puppy.

He dropped his shorts and threw the dog, escaping on a bulldozer from a nearby building site.

He was arrested later at home by police. The 26-year-old is said to have stopped taking depression medication.

After making his getaway on the bulldozer, he had driven so slowly that a 5km tailback built up behind him on the motorway.

After driving about 1km, he had abandoned the bulldozer in the middle of the motorway, near Allershausen. He continued his journey by hitchhiking.

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," a police spokesman said.

The puppy is now being cared for in an animal shelter.

Surely it'd be handy enough for the rapist to check and remove it from the woman before doing the act??!

How thick is this doll? Who is going to go to a doctor knowing theres a lengthy jail term waiting for them? Theres bound to be other ways of getting them off - other ways would soon be found anyway. In the meantime, its done a great job of trapping any dna evidence for the rapist...

Agreed, makes abosolutely no sense at all.

Likewise, why do 90% of the passengers feel the need to stand up as soon as the plane has come to a stop. There's at least a 5 minute wait waiting for the doors to open. Just sit the hell down and wait patiently and then everyone can disemabark in a civilised fashion.

I'm always nearly the first in the queue, because I haven't the patience to stand and look at every bollocks arguing with the check in people about the size of their bag and listening to shite, I'd much rather get on to the plane and find a nice sit and sit queitly and pray there's no children, smelly people or wankers going to sit near me.
Same when getting off the plane, I want to get off it and get on my way!

you get to the airport,check in and get your seat number,you are sitting waiting for boarding,they annouce that my flight will be boarding shortly,next thing you know you have a stampede to the gate what ta f**k?,you have your seat number,the plane aint going anywhere until everybody has boarded why the f**king stampede?

That always amazes me too. Why do people feel better jostling in a queue for 10-15 minutes than sitting down reading their book or whatever?
I'm always nearly the first in the queue, because I haven't the patience to stand and look at every bollocks arguing with the check in people about the size of their bag and listening to shite, I'd much rather get on to the plane and find a nice sit and sit queitly and pray there's no children, smelly people or w**kers going to sit near me.
Same when getting off the plane, I want to get off it and get on my way!

Wouldn't it make more sense to go on last and find a seat that isn't near children, smelly people or wankers, than to go on first to pray none sit near you?

Agreed, makes abosolutely no sense at all.

Likewise, why do 90% of the passengers feel the need to stand up as soon as the plane has come to a stop. There's at least a 5 minute wait waiting for the doors to open. Just sit the hell down and wait patiently and then everyone can disemabark in a civilised fashion.

I really really really hate that!!

You didn't read that post before you felt the need to comment. You don't need to (or are allowed to) find a nice place if your already allocated a seat, that was the initial point being made.

I was stopped at traffic lights on the way to a job this morning when my attention was caught by this fella running to get a bus.
The thing that made me go what the f**k was the sight of him running with his hands in is pants pockets, it struck me as being odd that surely if he had taken his hands out he would have been able run faster,and he also looked a bit of a t**t trying to run that way,it wasn't just a short sprint either he had a good 300 yards to run to catch the bus, as it happened he missed his bus which was good enough for him really the stupid gimp.

Btw It must be from working on various building sites for the last 15 years but I think anyone that walks around with their hands in their pockets is a sure sign of laziness.

Seen something similar to this only I was on a bus to Dublin, it was a piss stop and the fella was running trying to button his fly as the bus was moving. He tripped, hands stayed at his fly and SLAP. Faceplant into the tarmac. Knocked himself clean out cold. While funny, but also a bit fucked up seeing it happen in slow motion almost. He got on the bus anyway, white as a ghost, blood pishing from his nose and mouth. Few cans and he was alright!

Went out one morning to go to work and there was this woman, all dolled up with make up, suit on her, high heals, smart looking etc coming running down the street. I can't describe the run....only they way women can run in high heels I suppose. Anyway, I thought she must be late for something and didn't think much of it. Next morning though I went out again and she was coming running down the street again.  Next morning, same thing and I seen her running down the street almost every morning for months. She must have caught on eventually and started to leave the house a few minutes earlier.

Man bitten after sitting on crocodile's back
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 10:10 AM

A man ejected from a pub in Australia broke into a zoo and climbed onto the back of a crocodile named Fatso, which bit him on the leg but then let him go.

Police said they are surprised the animal did not inflict worse damage.

The 36-year-old man, who police said had just been thrown out of a pub for being drunk, told officials he scaled the barbed wire fence surrounding the Broome Crocodile Park in remote northwest Australia because he wanted to give the 16-foot Fatso a pat.

"He has attempted to sit on its back and the croc has taken offence to that and has spun around and bit him on the right leg," Broome Police Sergeant Roger Haynes said.

The saltwater crocodile then inexplicably let the man go, and he climbed back over the fence to safety, police said.

The man, who was a tourist from eastern Australia and whose name was not released, suffered some "very nasty lacerations" and was taken to a hospital, Sgt Haynes said.

"Saltwater crocodiles ... once they get hold of you, are not renowned for letting you go," Sgt Haynes said. "He's lucky to have escaped with his life."

Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest reptile and can grow up to 23 feet. They became increasingly common in Australia's tropical north since hunting that almost extinguished the species was banned in 1971.

The bit I find to be "wtf" is the sun's headline "Man admits to Octopus porn" and then the first two paragraphs...
QuoteA MAN has admitted downloading a catalogue of depraved images - including clips of sex acts being performed on an OCTOPUS.

Tasmanian Rodney Scott McLagan, 48, had a collection of more than 30,000 images and video files involving sexual acts with children, dogs, ponies, snakes, tigers and an octopus when he was caught.
It says a lot when octopus porn takes precedence over child porn.  They should have just headlined with "sicko".


another wtf

Tell them it is only free if you are leaving leaving the 'Free State'. But if you are leaving the Kingdom (say Prods call it the Queendom & Taigs call it the Condom) you have to pay 5p which we call 'giving the Queen back her schilling'.

HELSINKI: A Russian man trying to win the Sauna World Championships died after collapsing with severe burns in the final stage of an event that required contestants to sit in a 230-degree (110 Celsius) room as water was tossed onto a searing stove, officials and witnesses said.

Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy, an amateur wrestler who was in his 60s, was pronounced dead late Saturday after he collapsed alongside reigning champion Timo Kaukonen of Finland roughly six minutes into the final round. Medical workers pulled both men out of the sauna in front of nearly 1,000 spectators in the southern Finnish town of Heinola.

Both were shaking and bleeding from what appeared to be severe burns, said Hakon Eikesdal, a photographer with the Norwegian daily Dagbladet.

Kaukonen, about 40, was hospitalized in stable condition Sunday, contest spokesman Ossi Arvela said.

The annual contest, which had over 130 participants from 15 countries, had been held since 1999. It will never be held again, Arvela said.

Half a liter (a pint) of water is added to the stove every 30 seconds and the last person to remain at the sauna is the winner.

There was no prize other than "some small things" Arvela said. He declined to provide details.

Arvela said Kaukonen — the defending world champion — had refused to leave the sauna despite getting sick.

Sauna bathing is a popular past-time in Finland, which has an estimated 1.6 million saunas for a population of 5 million. Temperatures are normally kept around 158 to 176 degrees (70-80 degrees Celsius).

"I know this is very hard to understand to people outside Finland who are not familiar with the sauna habit," Arvela said. "It is not so unusual to have 110 degrees in a sauna. A lot of competitors before have sat in higher temperatures than that." Arvala said all rules in Saturday's competition were followed and the temperatures and times were similar to those in previous years.

He said police are investigating the death.

A bridegroom in Turkey has accidentally killed three relatives while firing an AK-47 in celebration at his own wedding, Turkish media reported.

The groom lost control of the weapon as he tried to fire in traditional celebration in the air at the ceremony in the village of Akcagoze in south-eastern Gaziantep province.

The guests were sprayed with bullets and the groom's father and two aunts were killed.

The groom has been arrested.

The Anatolia news agency reported that eight other people were injured in the firing.

The three who died succumbed to their wounds in hospital.

Firing into the air is commonplace as a celebration in parts of Turkey and has on many occasions led to deaths and injuries.

Turkey has tried to impose harsher penalties but has not ended the practice.

A bridegroom in Turkey has accidentally killed three relatives while firing an AK-47 in celebration at his own wedding, Turkish media reported.

The groom lost control of the weapon as he tried to fire in traditional celebration in the air at the ceremony in the village of Akcagoze in south-eastern Gaziantep province.

The guests were sprayed with bullets and the groom's father and two aunts were killed.

The groom has been arrested.

The Anatolia news agency reported that eight other people were injured in the firing.

The three who died succumbed to their wounds in hospital.

Firing into the air is commonplace as a celebration in parts of Turkey and has on many occasions led to deaths and injuries.

Turkey has tried to impose harsher penalties but has not ended the practice.

It's very wrong - but that made me chuckle. Just mental.

Could you imagine yourself taking someone in like that?? Even his mate thought something was up.. Apparently it was one of the only cases where the person was "sane" for the trial, yet "insane" (for the want of a better word) for the murder.. And as you said got 5 years..Convenient that..

N.H. teen who zapped nipples during shop class sues
Aug. 31, 2010 07:34 AM
Associated Press
DOVER, N.H. - A New Hampshire high school student shocked so severely in shop class that his heart stopped beating is suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.


On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois was critically injured.

The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage.

Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after the incident. He declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Man blows himself up trying to kill a spider

By Laura Roberts
Wednesday September 01 2010
A man suffered flash burns after he accidentally blew himself up trying to kill a spider.

The 28 year-old suffered severe burns after attacking the arachnid with an aerosol can at his home in Clacton in Essex.

The man was summoned by his wife to deal with a spider she had seen scuttling behind the lavatory on Bank Holiday Monday. Not being able to reach it, the man decided to kill it by spraying it with the can.

However he was unable to see whether it was dead because the bulb in the bathroom light had blown. At this point he turned to a cigarette lighter to illuminate the room, but in the process ignited the gas fumes and caused an explosion.

The blast was so strong it blew the man off his feet and lifted the loft door off its hinges.

He suffered flash burns to his head, legs and torso and was rushed by ambulance to hospital after dousing himself in cold water.

A spokesman for Essex Fire Service said: "It appears the wife had spotted the creepy crawly in the bathroom and asked her husband to capture it.

"He sprayed it first with an aerosol where it was lurking behind the toilet bowl and when that didn't appear to work, he lit up his lighter to spread some light on the situation as the bathroom bulb had blown.

"There was an almighty explosion which blew the man back into his hallway and lifted the hatch on the loft.

"He did exactly the right thing by jumping into the shower and cooling his burns with cold water while his wife raised the alarm."

Firefighters administered emergency first aid at the scene while waiting for ambulance teams to arrive.

A spokesman added: "We're not entirely sure whether the spider got away or not but there was no sign of it at the scene."

Ambulance crews treated the man for burns to his arms, legs and face and breathing difficulties and he was taken to the Colchester General Hospital, in Essex, where he was given pain relief and discharged in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

In June last year Simon Elsey, 40, from Rotherham, suffered severe burns after a can of hairspray exploded at his home. The canister had been left on top of a children's fireguard in front of a lit fire in the sitting room. The blast was so powerful it blew out two window panes and the can was found embedded in the ceiling. Mr Elsey had been asleep in the sitting room at the time and firefighters said he was lucky not to be engulfed in flames.

Woman Dies While Stuck In Lover's Chimney

A woman's decomposing body has been found wedged inside the chimney of her lover's home after she tried to sneak into his house.

Dr Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, scaled a ladder to the roof, removed the chimney cap and slid down the flue of the property in Bakersfield, California.

The woman, who had an "on-again, off again" relationship with the man, had gone to the house on Wednesday last week, police said.

But the man refused to let her in and escaped unnoticed from the house "to avoid a confrontation", police added.

Dr Kotarac is believed to have been stuck in the chimney for three days.

Her body was discovered by a house-sitter who noticed "an odour and fluids" coming from the fireplace, police said.

The house-sitter and her son found the woman's body wedged about two feet above the top of the interior fireplace opening.

Firefighters spent five hours dismantling the chimney and flue from the outside of the property to extract the body.

The man's identity has been revealed in media reports as William Moodie, 58, the owner of a petroleum engineering company.

"She made an unbelievable error in judgement and nobody understands why, and unfortunately she's passed away," Mr Moodie told the Associated Press.

"She had her issues, she had her demons, but I never lost my respect for her."

He would not comment on the circumstances that led to her death but described her as a "superb internist who often provided service and medication free of charge to her patients".

Dr Kotarac ran a medical practice seeing as many as 200 patients a week, reports said.

Her office staff reported her missing when she failed to turn up to work.

Bakersfield coroner's office said Dr Kotarac died of asphyxiation and concluded the death was an accident.

US man kills five over breakfast row
Sunday, 12 September 2010 15:46
A man in the US reportedly became enraged by how his wife cooked his eggs and killed her, his stepdaughter and three neighbours with a shotgun before shooting himself.

Kentucky state police said Stanley Neace killed the five people in two mobile homes in the community of Mount Carmel, outside Jackson, about 145km southeast of Lexington, yesterday.

They added that the 47-year-old then went to his home and turned the gun on himself.

AdvertisementNeighbours in the roadside mobile home park said Mr Neace stormed across the lawns of about seven homes in his pyjamas and fired dozens of shots from a 12-gauge pump shotgun.

When state police arrived about an hour after the gunfire began, they heard a single gunshot and found Mr Neace's body on the porch.

A relative of two of the victims said witnesses to the shootings told her that Mr Neace became enraged when his wife did not cook his breakfast to his liking.

She said that when his wife fled to a neighbour's trailer, Mr Neace followed and shot her and the others.

The witnesses also told her he allowed a young girl to flee.

The victims were identified as the gunman's wife, Sandra Neace, 54; her daughter Sandra R Strong, 28; and neighbours Dennis Turner, 31; Teresa Fugate, 30; and Tammy Kilborn, 40.

The shooter's landlord said he had begun the process of evicting Mr Neace, who had lived in the trailer park for about seven years, because he had become increasingly hostile towards neighbours in recent months.

Pair 'met hours before death pact'
           

Stephen Lumb, 35, from Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, and Joanne Lee, 34, from Great Notley, near Braintree, Essex, were found in a car parked near an industrial estate on Monday.

It is understood the pair made contact on an internet suicide forum.

Truck driver Mr Lumb then drove 200 miles to Braintree to meet Ms Lee.

The Sun reported that Ms Lee wrote on the forum on September 4 that she was "desperate" and wanted to "do it ASAP". She wrote: "I haven't the strength to do this alone. I'm not a cop, a cannibal or a murderer, just desperate. I have all the ingredients and want to do it ASAP."

The bodies were found in the fume-filled car, which had notes placed on the windows warning of the toxic chemicals inside.

The Sun said Ms Lee, who reportedly had a severe eating disorder, had used the forum to ask advice on concocting a toxic mix to take her own life.

A source close to the investigation said: "We believe they met a few hours before this tragedy."

The bodies were found on Monday morning by a warehouse worker but sources said it is possible the car had been parked on the site over the weekend, when the area is largely deserted.

Essex Police said the deaths, near Braintree Enterprise Centre, were "highly unusual" and confirmed that "noxious" substances had been found inside the vehicle.

Pensioner takes dogs for walk... and returns to find locks changed and a family living in his home
By Daily Mail Reporter

A pensioner who took his dogs out for a walk returned to find a family had moved into his home.
George Pope, 72, was unable to get into his council house because the locks were changed.
Mr Pope left his home in Barking, Essex, to take his dogs out to nearby Parsloes Park last Thursday, September 16.
Distraught: George Pope, 72, outside his home in Barking, Essex, that was taken over by a new family after he went out to take his dogs for a walk
The arthritis sufferer, who needs a stick to walk, started feeling ill and decided to stay at a friend's house until he was well enough to go home.
But when he returned to his house on Saturday morning, he was stunned to discover his locks had been changed.
He claims a man then walked up the path to his house and accosted him. 
'I said, "This is my place". But he said, "This is our property and we intend to stay here unless you go to court". It made me feel ill.'
He added: 'I have been shaking ever since. I get panic attacks. It's just terrible.'
Mr Pope immediately called the council and police.
But he claims they told him the new occupants could not be evicted because they were themselves victims of a scam.
Mr Pope said police claimed the residents, who he believes are from Lithuania, had paid £3,000 to a bogus estate agent to rent the property themselves for six months. 
The retired Dagenham Ford worker, who was forced to stay with friends, said: 'Police told me it looked like a civil matter.
'But the squatters were using my home, my gas and my electricity - it's absolutely disgraceful.'
Mr Pope went back to his house on Monday morning to find all his belongings had been thrown out.
Neighbours then helped the him gather up his documents, photographs and clothes.
Mr Pope suspects illegal estate agents of occupying buildings and letting them for money.
'I had been out for just two-and-a-half days. Someone must have been watching me,' he said.
'The rear door had been levered out with screwdrivers - that's how they got in.
He then stayed with a friend and returned two days later to find a family in his home. He believes they have been the victims of a scam by bogus estate agents
'My neighbours are now too frightened to go out anywhere in case the same happens to them,' he added.
A Met Police spokeswoman said: 'Police are investigating a civil dispute where there may have been fraudulent sub-letting of the premises.
'Anyone with information concerning the person who has fraudulently advertised this property for rent and subsequently changed the locks should contact Barking and Dagenham Police.'
Mr Pope, who has lived in the house for four years, was able to move back into his home last night after the family fled but said he is now scared to be there because next door is also being occupied by squatters.
He also claims some of his possessions, including a washing machine and an electric cooker have been taken and that the electricity system has been tampered with.
'The wiring has been ripped out and there are burn marks,' he said.
'The whole experience has been really traumatic.'
A Barking and Dagenham council spokesman said council officers visited the house yesterday and found it to be empty, allowing Mr Pope to move back in.
'The council's repair service changed the locks and Mr Pope was able to return to his home,' he said.
'This was a highly unusual situation and we are working closely with the police to try and determine exactly what happened.
'By taking quick action we have been able to restore Mr Pope to his home without the need to apply to court for an eviction notice. This would have been a very lengthy process.
'We are also aware of a housing association property in this street that is also being squatted.
'We have contacted the housing association concerned and have asked them to try and resolve the situation.
'We are extremely pleased that Mr Pope is back in his own home.'

Horror as mother 'locks her five small children in 6ft closet while she goes out for 10 hours... then comes home to find two dead'

Edyan Farah, 28, allegedly put all five of her children - aged one through seven - into the small closet and pushed a bed in front of the door so they could not get out

Two children have died after their mother apparently locked them in a closet with their three siblings for more than ten hours.
Edyan Farah, 28, allegedly put all five of her children - aged one through to seven - into the small closet and pushed a bed in front of the door so they could not get out.
The closet was 6ft long and about 18in deep.
Farah left for ten and a half hours to visit a friend on Sunday. When she came back to her home in Indianaopolis, she opened the closet to find her five-year-old daughter Zuhur and three-year-old son Zakariya 'stiff and unresponsive'.
She told officers she carried them downstairs but did not call for help or try to revive them.
Four hours later, a family friend grew concerned when Farah - who was acting strangely - refused to let anyone in the apartment.
The friend then called Farah's uncle to the apartment complex. When he arrived and looked through the door of the apartment, he saw what appeared to be a dead child on the couch.
When he tried to call 911, Farah grabbed his phone from his hands and threw it away.
He then held her down as the family friend retrieved the phone and called for help.
A single rose lies at the front door of the apartment. 'It's just a very, very sad case,' said one police officer
Now Farah has been charged with neglect resulting in her children's deaths.
She told police she was 'not in her right mind' at the time of the incident.
An autopsy has not indicated how the two children died.
Police and neighbours said the children appeared malnourished - but the coroner said that while the two children were thin, she did not consider them emaciated.
Hussein Adam, a cousin of the children's father, said Monday that the family had emigrated from Somalia about a decade ago. He said Farah's husband had returned there several weeks ago to visit his parents, but was en route back to the U.S.
Lt. Jeff Duhamell said the three surviving children - a seven-year-old girl and boys ages five and one - are now in foster care. 'It's just a very, very sad case,' he said.
'It's one of the worst ones I've seen - to be placed in a closet approximately 18in by 6ft and a bed pushed up against it for a minimum of ten hours. We think possibly a lot longer and probably not for the first time.'
Farah is due to appear in court today.

I think she kicked the door in last night, there's some man there fixing it today.

10-year-old gives birth to baby
A girl of 10 has had a baby in southern Spain, officials have said

Social workers are deciding whether to let the mother and her family retain custody of the baby, born last week in the city of Jerez de la Frontera.

Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region's social affairs minister, said that the father of the baby was also a child.

She refused to give further details, such as the sex or health of the baby.

Spanish newspapers said the mother is of Romanian origin. The daily Diario de Jerez quoted medical staff who treated the girl as saying they were told by her mother that giving birth at such a young age was common in their country.

Title: Liking girls beats being gay - Berlusconi
Post by: ludermor on November 03, 2010, 06:53:37 AM
Silvio does not give a bollix!


Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi dismissed calls to resign today over reports he helped a 17-year-old girl who attended parties at his house, saying it was "better to like beautiful girls than to be gay".

He refused to apologise for his fondness for young women and denied doing anything improper, after the case of the girl known as Ruby filled Italian newspapers last week and opposition politicians called for him to resign.

"As always, I work without interruption and if occasionally I happen to look a beautiful girl in the face, it's better to like beautiful girls than to be gay," he told a meeting at a motorcycle industry show in Milan.

"You should be completely reassured about the government and about the fact that it's a government that still has a majority that intends to govern until the end of its term," he said.

Mr Berlusconi, who has tangled with the media over parties and women in the past, has been under increasing pressure since newspapers last week carried reports about the teenager who attended parties at his sumptuous villa at Arcore near Milan.

The Corriere della Sera  newspaper reported details of a phone call it said Mr Berlusconi made to a Milan police chief on Ruby's behalf when she was detained over a separate theft incident in May, raising questions of whether he improperly intervened.

Mr Berlusconi says he helped Ruby, whose real name is reported by Italian newspapers to be Karima El Mahroug, but he denies exerting any improper pressure on police officers.

"This recent storm in the newspapers is a paper storm," Mr Berlusconi said. "You will see in the end that nothing else happened apart from an act of solidarity by the prime minister, which I would have been ashamed not to do."

The teenager, who has since turned 18, has told newspapers she received €7,000 from Mr Berlusconi after attending two parties. She has denied having sex with the 74-year-old premier

PÁDRAIG COLLINS

AN IRISH nurse has been convicted of raping another woman in Brisbane, Australia.

Anne-Marie O'Loughlin (25) was yesterday found guilty on two counts of digital rape and one of deprivation of liberty at the Caxton Hotel, in Brisbane's city centre, in the early hours of November 29th last year.

Following a five-day trial, the district court jury took 13 hours to convict O'Loughlin, who had been working in Australia as a registered nurse. She was found not guilty of a fourth charge of sexual assault. O'Loughlin had pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The trial heard O'Loughlin attacked a 34-year-old local woman, who cannot be named, in the female toilets of the hotel.

O'Loughlin first kissed the victim, who kissed her back in a bid to escape, the court heard.

When the victim tried to leave, O'Loughlin grabbed her hair, slammed her head into a wall and pulled her into a toilet cubicle.

In a police interview played to the jury, O'Loughlin said she did not recall kissing the woman, but admitted it was possible. She said it was not in her nature to force someone to have sex.

In his summing up to the jury, Judge David Reid instructed them to "put the issue of gender out of your minds" and work to determine the facts of the case.

The judge said while the victim conceded under cross-examination she had not screamed "no" or "don't do that", she said she had demonstrated she had not consented by pushing O'Loughlin's hands away, pulling up her jeans while O'Loughlin tried to pull them down and, at the end of the incident, yelling out for security.

O'Loughlin's lawyers argued the victim's evidence cast doubt over whether the incident happened in the way she described, or whether it was consensual.

During the trial the court heard evidence from the victim's husband, who said he was very upset after his wife left the toilets and told him what happened. He called the police and tried to detain O'Loughlin outside the hotel.

Judge Reid told the jury the prosecution had argued O'Loughlin had lied to police, and that DNA evidence found under three of her fingernails linked her to the woman. O'Loughlin forgot her purse after the incident, and the victim picked it up. It contained identification.

Prosecutors said the woman had given frank evidence, and other witnesses had testified she was upset immediately upon emerging from the toilets.

After being convicted yesterday, O'Loughlin was remanded in custody to await sentencing.

Her barrister, Damian Walsh, asked for an adjournment so he could get a psychological report to put before the court.

Judge Reid said this would be helpful, and adjourned the case until next Friday when a sentencing date is likely to be set for mid-February.

Its certainly not illegal to wear a ring on whatever finger you want to - nor to hold hands with whatever consenting adult you care to! Not even in Belfast!

i mean for 2 men to be married to one another you header! i certaintly dont approve, but each to their own. bad form if the man was married to a woman though!

p.s. if the man is wearing a ring, and is not married, this is a sign of gayness.

Was getting the bus out of Belfast this evening and seen 2 men openly holding hands, and one of them even had a wedding ring on. Actually made me sick. Had to get off the bus and get a taxi instead. Couldn't look at them at all.

Which is why I got off the bus. At least if its on TV you can change the channel.
I dont understand, there was no where else on the bus for you to look or turn your attention to?
You had to get off a bus because two men where holding hands, f**king hell aren't you precious  :D  You do realise what that makes you sound like, right?

no call for that anyway in public

Its certainly not illegal to wear a ring on whatever finger you want to - nor to hold hands with whatever consenting adult you care to! Not even in Belfast!

Civil Partnership. Not quite a marriage, but it gives a gay couple a lot more rights.

Saudis "arrest" vulture for spying for Mossad


First there was the killer shark that Egypt said Mossad had dropped in its coastal waters to scare off tourists from its Red Sea resorts. Now Saudi Arabia has "arrested" a vulture on suspicion of spying for the Israeli intelligence agency.
The offending bird, which had apparently been tagged by researchers from Tel Aviv University studying migration patterns, was captured in a rural area of the Saudi kingdom, which is officially still at war with the Jewish state.
The global positioning transmitter and a leg bracelet marked "R65 — Tel Aviv University" were perceived by the Saudis as sophisticated espionage equipment to allow the bird to send intelligence back to Israel. The Saudi newspaper al-Weeam said that residents of the area in which the bird was caught called the tracking paraphernalia evidence of a "Zionist plot", although there was no official reaction from the security services to whom the avian agent was handed.
Last month the governor of the South Sinai area reacted to a series of attacks on tourists swimming off the Sharm el-Sheikh resort by a killer shark as a possible Mossad plot to scare visitors away from Egypt's beaches and into Israel. "What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark in the sea to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question. But it needs time to confirm," said Mohamed Abdel Fadil Shousha, to widespread ridicule in Israel.
The shark, which mauled four Russian tourists and killed an elderly German woman just off the beach of her luxury hotel, has still not been caught. In another paranoid incident Mossad were blamed for infecting mosquitos with HIV.
Paranoia among Israel's enemies and its nominal friends means that countries such as Egypt, which has signed a peace treaty with the Jewish state, are locked with it in mutual distrust in what has been described as a "cold peace".
Such paranoia reflects the reach of Mossad and the inability of intelligence organisations in the Muslim world to match it. Last week Iran hanged a man whom it accused of being a spy for Israel after several assassinations and kidnappings of its nuclear scientists. Lebanon has also charged several of its citizens with spying for the Jewish state.
Israeli intelligence agents are believed to have been responsible for the assassination of an alleged Hamas weapons trafficker in a Dubai hotel a year ago, as well as the killing of the Hezbollah military chief, Imad Mughniyeh, in a car bombing in Damascus after hunting him for a quarter of a century.
Evidence of Mossad using animals is scant and the fate of the accused vulture remained unclear yesterday.

You and everyone else are judging him and condemning with only the tabloid twist of the story.

No one can be available 24/7 for all of their lives and blaming an individual is missing the point completely. Everyone is entitled to a break at work, the problem here seems to be that there wasn't enough staff available but of course the journalist didn't bother to follow any other line of enquiry so we don't know.

The man won't be sacked and probably wont be disciplined because technically he did nothing more than he was entitled.  When people see past the emotion they might realise it is the system that let the poor woman down.

As for the rest of your post wise up. I don't buy papers.

Jackie's sunglasses are not thought to have been part of his Hitler impression

A Finnish dog which gave Nazi salutes so annoyed Germany's World War II government that it launched a campaign against its owner.

Tor Borg's wife had reportedly given Jackie the nickname Hitler - saying the dog's strange way of raising its paw and barking reminded her of the Fuhrer.

Newly discovered documents show Mr Borg was interrogated by the Germans on suspicion of insulting Hitler.

Attempts were also made to sabotage his business, the papers show.

Researchers at the German Foreign Office uncovered a cache of documents and diplomatic cables concerning Jackie

The documents had been exchanged by the Foreign Office, the Economy Ministry, the Chancellory of the Nazi government and German diplomats in then Nazi-friendly Finland, the Tagezeitung newspaper reports.

In one exchange, dated 29 January 1941, German Vice Consul Willy Erkelenz in Helsinki wrote that "a witness, who does not want to be named, said he saw and heard how Borg's dog reacted to the command 'Hitler' by raising its paw".

Mr Borg was called into the German embassy for questioning, where he admitted that his wife Josephine - a known anti-Nazi German - had called the dog Hitler, but denied being involved in anything "that could be seen as an insult against the German Reich".

The embassy, however, thought otherwise, telling officials in Berlin: "Borg, even though he claims otherwise, is not telling the truth."

The Foreign Office spent three months investigating ways of bringing Mr Borg to trial for insulting Hitler, but no witnesses would come forward, the newspaper reports.

An attempt was also made to get suppliers to Mr Borg's pharmaceutical firm - including IG Farben - to stop dealing with him.

But in March 1941, the Chancellory decided that "considering that the circumstances could not be solved completely, it is not necessary to press charges". It was unclear whether Adolf Hitler had been involved in the saga himself.

Mr Borg died in 1959 and his company, Tampereen Rohdoskauppa Oy, later renamed Tamro Group, became one of the Nordic region's most successful pharmaceutical firms, the Associated Press reports.

Tamro Group told AP they had not been aware of the dog's controversial role in history before now.

I bet that happens more than you think, I know someone who works in finance and he'd regularly tell similar stories about rich people he's doing work for, and they're not footballers. People who forget about mortgages they have, about houses they own etc! He's told several stories about people thinking they owe x on a mortgage and when it turns out they owe considerably less they don't understand. They have usually paid off 30,40 grand etc and have forgotten they've done it.

A woman was partially paralysed by a love bite from her amorous partner, a New Zealand doctor has reported.

Teddy Wu said he believed it was the first time someone had been admitted to hospital as a result of a "hickey".

An article on the case has appeared in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Advertisement: Story continues below Dr Wu said he saw the woman over a year ago while he was working in Middlemore Hospital in Auckland.

The 44-year-old Maori woman went to the emergency department after experiencing loss of movement in her left arm.

It happened while she was sitting watching television.

Her only injury was a love bite on the right of her neck near an artery.

"Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction, said Dr Wu, who now works in the neurology department at Christchurch Hospital.

"Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel.

"There was a clot in the artery underneath where the hickey was."

The clot had gone into the woman's heart and caused a minor stroke that led to the loss of movement, he said.

She was treated with warfarin, an anticoagulant.

That treatment made the clot disappear almost entirely within a week, he said.

"We looked around the medical literature and that example of having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been described before," he said.

If it had not been treated quickly the woman could have suffered more strokes.

"Strokes have different levels of severity. But possibly patients can become paralysed."

The woman was fine at a one-month follow-up appointment, the Journal reported.

Man caught with Horse

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-12309654



Man sentenced for sex act on horse at Devon stablesA man was caught on a covert infra-red camera performing a sex act on a horse at a stable in Devon.

Derek Woods was caught when he triggered alarms at the stable which had been set up by police after they were alerted by the animal's owner.

Woods, 26 and originally from Glasgow, admitted charges of animal cruelty and one of committing a sex act on a horse.

Sentencing him to a supervision order, the judge said Woods had acted in a deviant and depraved way.

Police were first alerted by the horse's owner in December 2009 when she found Woods asleep in a barn.

'Isolated' man

Fake CCTV cameras and a loud alarm were installed in an attempt to keep him away but they were unsuccessful and the owner noticed injuries to the horse in February 2010.

Det Con Darren Campbell said covert surveillance was then used.

"The alarm sensors were taken apart, camouflaged and fixed to the stable door and a tiny covert camera and infra-red lamp set up inside with the recording equipment hidden in a nearby tack room," he said.

Woods, of Alphington Road, Exeter, was caught in August 2010 when he activated the alarm and camera.

Defence counsel Nigel Wraith said: "Woods is unable or unwilling to talk about the reasons behind his offending, it is difficult for anybody to fathom out what the reasons would be.

"He feels complete and utter shame at the position he finds himself in and is embarrassed beyond words."

His barrister described him as an "isolated" man with a drink problem.

In addition to the 24-month supervision order, Woods was ordered to undergo treatment for alcohol dependency.

He was also banned from going within a one-mile radius of the horse owner's stables and fields.

QuoteCat ordered to do jury service
A cat has been summoned to do jury service, even after his owners told the court he was "unable to speak and understand English".

Anna Esposito, wrote to Suffolk Superior Crown Court in Boston, US, to explain that a mistake had been made, but a jury commissioner replied saying the cat, named Tabby Sal, "must attend" on March 23.

Mrs Esposito had included a letter from her vet confirming that the cat was "a domestic short-haired neutered feline".

Tabby Sal had been entered by Mrs Esposito under the 'pets' section of the last census. "When they ask him guilty or not guilty? What's he supposed to say - miaow?" She said.

"Sal is a member of the family so I listed him on the last Census form under pets but there has clearly been a mix-up."

A website for the US judicial system states that jurors are "not expected to speak perfect English".

Malawi row over whether new law bans farting
The justice minister said local chiefs would deal with those caught breaking wind in public Continue reading the main story

Malawi old flags arrest warning
Country profile: Malawi
Two of Malawi's most senior judicial officials are arguing over whether a new bill includes a provision that outlaws breaking wind in public.

Justice Minister George Chaponda says the new bill would criminalise flatulence to promote "public decency".

"Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting," he told local radio.

However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution.

"How any reasonable or sensible person can construe the provision to criminalising farting in public is beyond me," he said, adding that the prohibition contained in the new law has been in place since 1929.

The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: "Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour."

Mr Chaponda, a trained lawyer, insists that this includes farting.

"Would you be happy to see people farting anyhow?" he asked on the popular "Straight Talk" programme on Malawi's Capital Radio.

He said that local chiefs would deal with any offenders.

When asked whether it could be enforced, he said it would be similar to laws banning urinating in public.

Bird kills man at cockfight February 8, 2011 - 1:04PM

A man attending an illegal cockfight in California has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird with a knife attached to its own limb.

The Kern County coroner said Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in Tulare County, north of Los Angeles, on January 30.

An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf.

Advertisement: Story continues below Sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said it was unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to Ochoa's death.

Tulare officials were investigating, and no arrests were made at the cockfight.

Cockfighting, which is illegal in the United States, is a sport in which specially bred roosters are put into a ring and encouraged to fight until one is incapacitated or killed.

Queen on Northern Ireland visit
City centre church wins top prize
The Prince of Wales met the First Minister during a visit to St Malachy's Church in Belfast on Friday.

Peter Robinson greeted Prince Charles on the doorstep of the building, as he arrived to view a £3.5m restoration project.

Mr Robinson said the royal visit showed Northern Ireland has entered a "new era".

"It is the first time in recent history that we have had a royal in a Roman Catholic Church here," he added.

"So it is a good start. It should send of an indication that respect, understanding and tolerance is growing in Northern Ireland."

St Malachy's was destroyed by a Luftwaffe bomb in 1941, but in 2006 the diocese of Down and Connor embarked on a project to restore its original features.


The First Minister greeted the Prince of Wales on the doorstep of St Malachy's Mr Robinson said: "It has been set out very well and has held on to the architecture of the original."

Prince Charles also presided over the first inter-faith meeting of members of the four main churches, organised by the local branch of the Prince's Regeneration Trust.

The Northern Ireland Trustee Fionnuala Jay-O'Boyle said: "It's a hugely exciting event.

"Not only does it celebrate the fantastic restoration of St Malachy's Church, but equally it is very significant because we brought together a group of very senior church figures to begin the discussion of unlocking the potential of redundant churches."

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall flew into George Best Belfast City airport on Friday morning for a one-day visit to Northern Ireland.

The Royal couple also visited Palace Barracks in Holywood for a medal presentation.

They met the soldiers of 2nd Battalion Mercian Regiment who are preparing for service in Afghanistan.

GAA player has ear bitten off in brawl


A GAA player based in Britain, who had to receive medical treatment after bitten in an on-field brawl, now faces the prospect of losing part of his ear.

A report in today's Irish Examiner, relates how the incident took place last Sunday, in a Warwickshire Senior Football League game between Sean McDermotts and Roger Casements. John Dowling, a 22- year-old, playing for the former, was bitten on the side of his head, during a brawl which erupted midway through the second half.

The match was abandoned, and Dowling, from Birmingham, was immediately rushed to a local hospital. Doctors have yet to decide their next course of action, as they are waiting for the swelling on the players ear to go down. However, Sean McDermott club vice chairman, Steve McGerr, has said that there is a strong possibility that part of the players ear may have to be removed.

The Warwickshire County Board have refused to comment on the incident, as they are still awaiting the referee's match report.

GAA player has ear bitten off in brawl


A GAA player based in Britain, who had to receive medical treatment after bitten in an on-field brawl, now faces the prospect of losing part of his ear.

A report in today's Irish Examiner, relates how the incident took place last Sunday, in a Warwickshire Senior Football League game between Sean McDermotts and Roger Casements. John Dowling, a 22- year-old, playing for the former, was bitten on the side of his head, during a brawl which erupted midway through the second half.

The match was abandoned, and Dowling, from Birmingham, was immediately rushed to a local hospital. Doctors have yet to decide their next course of action, as they are waiting for the swelling on the players ear to go down. However, Sean McDermott club vice chairman, Steve McGerr, has said that there is a strong possibility that part of the players ear may have to be removed.

The Warwickshire County Board have refused to comment on the incident, as they are still awaiting the referee's match report.

Eerie.

Bertie Ahern advises Nigeria on business (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-13080947)

Here's an excerpt from his speech:

Well, as you're probably all aware by now we took our collective eye off the economic ball in Ireland, and as result they're, sorry, we're all fairly broke at this point. So the lesson for you all there is keep an eye on the economy and you won't go far wrong.

Anyways, that's enough of the bad news, now for some good news, and boy do I have a great opportunity for all of you great business people.

It so happens that I am a direct descendant of one Brian Boru, one time King of Ireland who, though he fought very valiantly in the Battle of Clontarf, was ultimately unsuccessful, and he died. Before he died, however, he passed on details of great wealth that he had accumulated over his lifetime to a forebear of mine, and as luck would have it, incredibly, I have just been made aware of his vast wealth.

In order to release this massive wealth, which is all very securely held in timelocked vaults all over the world, I need to enrol as many Nigerians, i.e., yourselves, as possible to share in it -- this was one of his deathbed stipulations, it had to be Nigerian business people. So if you'd all just like to write down your names and bank account details immediately on this  piece of paper that I'm passing around a great fortune awaits you...

The "thorough investigation" was probably a chance meeting around the water cooler between the cleaner and the tea lady.

Cleaner:  Do you know anything about this?
Tea lady: No. Do you?
Cleaner: No.
Tea lady: Well that's cleared that up then. She's obviously innocent. I'll let the boss know and we can inform the media.

Sean Murphy had a wart so he blasted it off with a shotgun

Thursday June 16 2011

For five years Sean Murphy was driven to distraction by a painful blemish that no amount of creams, ointments or doctors' appointments could cure.
So he came up with his own radical and permament procedure to remove the stubborn wart forever - he blasted it with a 12-bore shotgun.
But not only did the blast take off almost his entire finger, it also left him facing 15 years in jail for the illegal possesion of a firearm.
Yesterday, with only a stump to show for the middle of his left hand, and a suspended 16-week prison sentence, he insisted he had no regrets.
"I'm happy with that," he said outside Doncaster Magistrates' Court, South Yorkshire.

"I know I could have gone to jail for up to 15 years for a firearms offence. My solicitor did a very good job.
"The best thing is that the wart has gone. It was giving me lot of trouble."

Richard Haigh, defending, said Murphy, 38, had been "a victim of his own stupidity when domestic pressures got to him".
Mr Murphy decided to open fire with the Beretta after fortifying himself with several pints of beer. He settled down outside his caravan, took aim and opened fire.
Police heard about his unconventional treatment and launched an investigation.
Murphy, who lives in the town, told the bench he had found the Beretta under a hedge earlier in the year.
Having decided to use the Beretta, he administered the "anaesthetic" of Yorkshire bitter.
He stretched out his left hand, pointed the end of the barrel at its intended target, and used his other hand to hold the stock steady. Then he pulled the trigger.
Murphy denies that the beer affected his aim. He insists the fault lay with the weapon's recoil.
'I didn't expect to lose my finger as well when I shot it, but the gun recoiled and that was it,' he said.
'The wart was gone and so was most of my finger. There was nothing left of it, so no chance of re-attaching it.'
Murphy had been a security officer at Markham Grange Nurseries, Doncaster, at the time he applied the Beretta treatment in March. He has since lost his job.
In court he pleaded guilty to theft of the shotgun by finding, and a second charge of possessing a firearm without a valid certificate.
In addition to the suspended prison term, his client was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid community work and pay costs of £100.
South Yorkshire Police are still trying to discover how the Beretta found its way to the hedge where Murphy found it.
They know it was stolen in a burglary two years ago, but have no further record of its passage through the criminal underworld.

Welsh schoolboy 'killed former girlfriend for free breakfast'Swansea court told defendant lured Rebecca Aylward, 15, to woods in Bridgend and beat her with a rock to win bet

A schoolboy murdered a former girlfriend by battering her with a rock after he was promised a free breakfast if he carried out the killing, a jury heard.

The alleged killer, aged 16, lured Rebecca Aylward, 15, to woods near Bridgend in south Wales where he attacked her, Swansea crown court heard. To divert suspicion, he told her to tell friends she was meeting someone else. But she did not follow his directions and revealed his identity to her mother, the jury heard on Tuesday.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murdering Rebecca in October last year and blames his best friend.

Greg Taylor QC, prosecuting, said the accused boy and Rebecca had briefly been in a relationship about a year before the murder and had kept in touch.

The defendant used to meet friends at a local cafe for breakfast, the court heard. At one meeting, he openly discussed killing the girl. His friends assumed he was joking but, in a text,he asked one friend: "What would you do if I actually did kill her?" the court heard. The friend replied: "Oh, I would buy you breakfast."

Two days before the killing, the defendant contacted his friend to confirm he would attend their breakfast date. He added: "Don't say anything but you may just owe me a breakfast." His friend replied: "Sick, sick boy."

After the killing, the boy is alleged to have asked friends: "Do you know how hard it is to break someone's neck?"

The jury heard that the boy told them: "She was facing away from me and I thought: 'This is it, I'm going to go for it.' I tried to break her neck. She was screaming so I picked up the rock and started to hit her with it. The worst part was feeling and seeing her skull give way."

The jury was told the "academic" boy and Rebecca, also a bright child, had dated for three months and had a sexual relationship. Taylor said: "When they split up it was not amicable – all of their friends observed a love-hate relationship between them. They gave different reasons for the break-up.

"The boy said Rebecca tried to trick him into getting her pregnant. She told him she was on the pill and he found out that she wasn't and that she had lied to him. The boy was also telling people that Rebecca was going to go to the police and alleged that he raped her.

"Rebecca's version was that the boy refused to wear condoms and she asked him repeatedly to wear them but he refused." The boy allegedly told a friend: "Wouldn't it be easier if she wasn't here? I am going to kill her – it would be real easy."

The jury heard another friend said the defendant claimed he would "kill her, cover it up and not get caught". He also allegedly claimed he would make "a poison" out of foxgloves and kill her using that. The trial continues.

I was at the pub last night and decided to walk home as it was clammy night. It is a good 2 mile walk. After a mile I couldn't hold on any longer and went to the toilet in a field. It was the number two I had to do. It was fairly dark so I just grabbed a pile of grass and leaves to clean myself and made on my way happily enough. When I got home I went to close the door behind me but it wouldn't. It was still pitch black so I groped behind me to see what was keeping the door open. It happened to be what felt like a rope. I turned around and groped my way to the end of the rope - it was a cow!! Unbelievably, when I cleaned myself in the dark I lifted the end of a rope that was around a cow's neck and had mistakenly put it up my backside.

Unbelievable series of events.

Let this be a lesson to all you Roscommon people.

Woman dies after sex with Dog

A 43-year old woman died after suffering a massive allergic reaction brought on after she had sex with a dog in Limerick.

The woman, a mother of four children, suffered the reaction to the dog's semen after willingly engaging in sex acts with the Alsatian dog in a house in the Patrickswell area of the county.

The woman passed away in October 2008, shortly after intercourse with the dog, and after a three-year investigation it was confirmed that her death occurred due to an adverse reaction suffered after having sex with the animal.

An ambulance was called to an address in Patickswell at approximately 7.30pm on the night that she died and rushed the woman to the Mid-Western Hospital, where she passed away shortly after 8pm.

A source told The Star last night that the unfortunate woman involved came in contact with a man who provided the dog on an internet chatroom.

"Both these people would have been visiting bestiality websites and at some stage it appears they agreed to meet up for sex," the source said.

"The Alsatian then entered the picture and it appears that intercourse took place between the lady in question and the dog on the night that she died."

The source confirmed that Gardai who had examined the scene seized an Alsation dog that has been kept in quarantine ever since.

Disturbingly, the source added that the dog "appeared to have been groomed" to have sex with women.

"This was a particularly bizarre and upsetting course," said the source.

"It genuinely was a shocker...you think you've seen it all but then something like this comes along and you're left scratching your head all over again."

Man teaching schoolchildren how to make explosives blows himself up
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - 01:31 PM

A bomb-maker was killed by his own device as he tried to give Islamic school pupils a lesson in how to make explosives, it has emerged.

Police in Indonesia said he appeared to be the victim of a homemade bomb being prepared to attack officers.

The school has been sealed off by two platoons of soldiers while investigations continue.

Police spokesman Lt. Col. Sukarman Husen said the man was a treasurer at the school, but media reports said he was also a former bomb trainee in the Philippine region of Mindanao.

The school on Sumbawa Island in central Indonesia came to police attention late last month, when a 16-year-old pupil was arrested for stabbing to death an officer. Police believe he belonged to an Islamic militant group, and they said he told his interrogators that police deserved to die for hunting down jihadists.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, has been battling terrorists since 2002 when al-Qaida-linked militants attacked two nightclubs on Bali, killing 202 people, mostly foreigners.

In recent months, security forces have become the main target of extremists in Indonesia.

Militants say they want to punish soldiers and police for taking part in the so-called war against terrorism.

Hundreds of Islamic militants have been arrested, tried and jailed.

Man teaching schoolchildren how to make explosives blows himself up
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - 01:31 PM

A bomb-maker was killed by his own device as he tried to give Islamic school pupils a lesson in how to make explosives, it has emerged.

Police in Indonesia said he appeared to be the victim of a homemade bomb being prepared to attack officers.

The school has been sealed off by two platoons of soldiers while investigations continue.

Police spokesman Lt. Col. Sukarman Husen said the man was a treasurer at the school, but media reports said he was also a former bomb trainee in the Philippine region of Mindanao.

What the feck is it about Limerick and carnal canine relationships!

Man charged over buggery with dog

The incident is alleged to have taken place in Patrickswell, Co Limerick in October 2008.

A 57-year-old bus driver was sent forward for trial today charged with buggery with an animal.

Sean McDonnell, 18 Rathmore, Churchill Meadows, Raheen, Limerick, is charged with buggery with an animal, namely a German Shepherd dog, at Laurel Park, Patrickswell, Co Limerick, on October 7th, 2008, contrary to Section 61 of the Offences Against the Person Act.

Mr McDonnell appeared before Limerick District Court today where he was served with the book of evidence in the case.

Det Sgt Paraig O'Dywer gave evidence of serving the book on the accused.

Insp Jerry Horan told the court the Director of Public Prosecutions had consented for Mr McDonnell to be sent forward for trial to the next sitting of Limerick Circuit Criminal Court in September.

Dressed in a dark grey suit and red tie the accused man sat in court accompanied by his daughter for the brief hearing. He was granted free legal aid to cover the cost of his solicitor Ted McCarthy plus two counsel.

Judge Eamon O'Brien, issued the alibi warning which means the accused must give the State 14 days notice of any alibi witnesses he intends calling.

Mr McDonnell was remanded on continuing bail.

South Africa: 'Dead man' wakes up inside morgue

A 50-year-old South African man woke up inside a mortuary over the weekend and screamed to be let out - scaring away attendants who thought he was a ghost.

His family presumed he was dead when they could not wake him on Saturday night and contacted a private morgue in a rural village in the Eastern Cape.

He spent almost 24 hours inside the morgue, the region's health department spokesman told the Sapa news agency.

The two attendants later returned and called for an ambulance.

The man - whose identity has been withheld - was treated in hospital for dehydration.


Eastern Cape health spokesperson
"Doctors put him under observation and concluded he was stable," Eastern Cape health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said.

"He did not need further treatment."

Mr Kupelo said the man woke up at 1700 local time (1500 GMT) on Sunday, demanding to be let out of the chilly morgue in Libode village, frightening the attendants on duty.

"At first the men ran for their lives," said Mr Kupelo.

Officials have urged the public to contact doctors or the emergency services so they can they can pronounce someone dead before calling an undertaker.

"You begin to you ask yourself how many other people have died like that in a morgue," said Mr Kupelo."We need to [get] the message across to all South Africans that it is very wrong for them to conclude on their own that a person has died," he said

Letterkenny hospital doctor was unable to take pulse

A JUNIOR doctor recruited to work at Letterkenny General Hospital last July could not take a patient's pulse, a Medical Council fitness to practise inquiry heard yesterday.

The inquiry was told there were concerns about the competency of Dr Asia Ndaga (31), who qualified in Romania in 2008, from the moment she joined the hospital on July 1st, 2010.

There were concerns that her medical knowledge was "weak" for a senior house officer, at the slow speed of her assessment and diagnosis of patients and about her ability to calculate drug dosages.

A clinical incident had been noted formally whereby a nurse had to show her how to certify the death of a patient and how to write up medical notes in relation to a patient transferred from Dublin.

Dr Ken Mulpeter, a consultant geriatrician at the hospital, undertook an assessment of her competency on August 18th after concerns had been raised. He took her to see a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and an irregular heartbeat and asked her to take the patient's pulse. She tried to do this by putting her fingers "on top of the patient's wrist" rather than underneath it and said the patient was in normal rhythm.

"I obviously got a bit of a shock with that, so I asked her to take the patient's pulse in his feet," said Dr Mulpeter. "She put her two fingers on areas of the foot where you would not feel a pulse."

He said how to take a patient's pulse was something learned in first or second year in college.

He said Dr Ndaga was unable to say how much oxygen the patient was on, something which could be read from the patient's oxygen mask and a device on the wall.

She also did not know why the man had a barrel-shaped chest. It was an indication of lung disease but she suggested rickets.

In addition, she failed to take an adequate patient history, partly due to some language difficulties. Dr Mulpeter felt she was not competent to continue working in the hospital as a senior house officer and her contract was terminated.

Dr Ndaga, who did not turn up for the inquiry, was found guilty of poor professional performance. The fitness to practise committee will report to the full council and recommend an appropriate sanction, which was not disclosed.

The inquiry heard Dr Ndaga had not been interviewed by the hospital and the hospital did not check her references. Pat Murray, human resources manager at the hospital, said this was because she was interviewed by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland as part of a central recruitment process and allocated to the hospital as part of the college's training scheme. He understood she did not get a post in the initial round of offers from the college but was on "a reserve list" used when all training posts had not been filled.

Dr Ndaga was registered by the council in March 2009. Solicitor JP McDowell, for the council, told the inquiry it was not clear whether she had worked in Ireland before getting the Letterkenny job. However, Mr Murray said when he spoke to her about her performance, she indicated this was her first job in Ireland.

Dr Mulpeter said in evidence that "at the time we had some difficulty in recruiting doctors, so there was an expectation that the doctors might not be as strong as in previous years". Staff were therefore prepared to supervise them more closely. He said it might be expected she would need time to get up to speed on the Irish hospital system but his major concern was her competency. He did not consider it safe to have her working in the hospital.

Mr McDowell said initially a firm of solicitors had engaged with the council on her behalf, claiming the assessment of her skills by Dr Mulpeter lasted only five minutes and that he looked down on foreign doctors, an accusation denied by Dr Mulpeter and Mr Murray.

Sterilisation: North Carolina grapples with legacyBy Daniel Nasaw

BBC News, Washington

Ms Riddick, now 57, suffered decades of depression and illness More than 60,000 Americans were sterilised, many against their will, as part of a eugenics movement that finished in 1979, aimed at keeping the poor and mentally ill from having children. Now, decades on, one state is considering compensation.

In the office this morning, receptionist comes in to say that there is a young fella walking round the cars outside. I go to look (we are upstairs) and see the pup, very dodgy looking, going in and around the cars, looking in and trying the door handles. I go straight out and ask him what he is doing (he's a young traveller bloke, very rough looking but no more than 16).

He comes towards me and pulls something from pocket but it only paper, waves it at me and says he waiting on someone, pointing across the road and off he goes. Garda called at this stage and they land 5 minutes later and give him a pull as he is doing same on cars across the road.

They search him and put him on his way. They call in to say he had nothing on him, is known to them and the paper he was waving is a letter about a meeting he has with his probation officer in the building across the road that he was waiting to go into!!

WTF the cheeky barsteward.

Drunk Swedish elk found in apple tree near Gothenburg

A homeowner in southern Sweden got a shock when he found a drunken elk stuck in his neighbour's apple tree.

The moose was apparently on the hunt for fermenting apples when she lost her balance and became trapped in the tree.

Per Johansson, from Saro near Gothenburg, found the elk making a roaring noise in the garden next door.

He called the emergency services, who helped him free the boozed-up beast by sawing off branches. She spent the night recovering in the garden.

The next day she took herself off into the woods with her hangover.

Drunken elk are not an uncommon sight in Sweden during autumn, when there are plenty of apples about.

Other residents of Saro had seen the elk on the loose in the preceding days.

Mr Johansson said the elk appeared to be sick, drunk, or "half-stupid", the Associated Press reported.

I have seen this happened with my OWN EYES. I walk in forests almost every night on my own and sometimes I see men or women with their dogs and the dog squats. Last week I built up the courage and told the woman that I hoped she was to clean that up. She ignored me and told 'Princess' to come along. I was so enraged that I lifted the excrement and threw it at the back of her and ran away. I could see her getting her phone out so I took no chances and drove to another forest. That means if the police came to my door I can say sure I was at another forest. I made sure prople saw me at the second forest by urinating at the river, pretending to be drunk. That means there were witnesses.

There's nothing in the rule books for driving that says you have to not slightly injure these people. Many times I have seen people in black running along the road at night and I'd be so enraged at their negligee that i'd purposely drive close and clip their elbows with the side mirrors etc. Then drive to a forest and do something so that other people can vouch that they saw you.

I think we should lock the 7 of them in the Áras for 7 years. We could do a big brother routine with fly on the wall cameras following their every move. Once a year then we could vote to let one of them out.

Man jailed for placing human faeces on heater in bizarre experiment

Published 17 Oct 2011 16:30
Share this                 


A 30-year-old man who tried to turn his shit into gold by putting it on an electric heater has been jailed for three months.

Paul Moran's bizarre experiment caused around £3,000 worth of damage to his Housing Executive flat at Derrin Park in Enniskillen.

He admitted arson and endangering the lives of others.

He was given a one-month concurrent sentence for throwing his excrement around a holding cell at Enniskillen Police Station.

Upon his release he will spend a further 12 months on licence.

His Honour Judge McFarland told him: "Rather bizarely you were attempting to make gold from human faeces and waste products."

He described it as "an interesting experiment to fulfil the alchemist's dream", adding that it was never going to succeed.

Full story in Thursday's edition.

A Welsh rugby player who suffered a stroke ditched his fiancee after claiming he woke up gay.

Chris Birch (26), has since slimmed down from 19 stone to a lithe 11 stone, retrained as a hairdresser and moved in with a teenage boyfriend.

He now works at J's Hair Salon in Ystrad Mynach, south Wales, after giving up his job in a bank.

He was injured during a rugby training session when he attempted a back flip, broke his neck and suffered a stroke.

His parents and girlfriend endured an anxious bedside vigil waiting to discover whether he would recover.

The man who eventually emerged was different in almost every way and found he hated sport and was no longer interested in women. Plans to get married and settle down were dropped as he embarked on a new life as a gay man.

"I was gay when I woke up and I still am," Mr Birch said today, speaking from J's Hair Salon.

He has also detailed the life-changing impact of his stroke in a series of newspapers.

"It sounds strange but when I came round I immediately felt different. I wasn't interested in women any more," he is reported as saying.

"I had never been attracted to a man before - I'd never even had any gay friends. But I didn't care about who I was before, I had to be true to my feelings.

"Suddenly I hated everything about my old life. I didn't get on with my friends, I hated sport and found my job boring.

"I started to take more pride in my appearance, bleached my hair and started working out. I went from a 19-stone skinhead to an 11-stone preened man."

Former Wales fullback Gareth Thomas came out as gay in December 2009.

 :D I love the throwaway last line.
Paddie O'Toole from Tullamore had an unusual experience when his hair turned white as a result of being head-butted by a ram.
Joe Murphy, originally from Tullamore, also has white hair.

That is rough. I'd like to think I'd get out of bed every morning if I had little time left but who knows how I'd react.

Good to hear of a finance outfit doing something nice for once. Might only be something small but it could be a comfort to see with his own eyes the mortgage being cleared for those left behind.

It is indeed, I probably had a drink with you myself if that was the case. We'd a poker and race night with him a few weeks back, his spirit is unreal but he not near the man he was which is understandable. He was in Newcastle with us back in February and to think he'd be lucky to see next February is just hard to fathom.

The spinner was my weekend home for years. Bit far for a grattan to travel but i had plenty of connections in Blayney. there was a gang of us that hardly left the place or a while.

I was going to visit him the last time i was home but really did'nt want to. I've travelled the length of Ireland with him watching the county team and have had some great times with him so i wanted to remember him that day and not the state he is in now. Bit selfish maybe but its the choice i've made.

No idea whatsoever how i'd deal with his situation, it's impossible to even imagine. God bless him.

Tony Fearon is and was a board legend, he was an awful man for getting a rise out of the OWC crowd and he had them absolutely scundered. Tony mounted a one man campaign to highlight the fact that OWC were a  bunch of twisted, bigotted bastards.

Needless to say that they fought him at every farts turn however the.y decided to amp things up, they went to his office and met with his secretary, they sent postcards to his place of work a few times to intimidate and finally, when they could take his shit no more they send McAfee around to his place of work to intimidate him, it did not work.

McAfee was an OWC lad who used to be on here all the time, if memory serves he was SBE Mac or South Belfast Emeralds Mac, he was one of the main men on owc.

That is what you have at the helm over there, eejits who just happen to drop by for a friendly chat to try and intimidate and get Tony to drop his campaign.

'National' broadcaster my arse. The settlement is rumoured to be circa €5,000,000, to the wholly innocent priest whose good reputation they so shamefully demolished:

RTÉ settles priest defamation case

Fr Kevin Reynolds, the parish priest of Ahascragh, Co Galway, was 'grossly defamed' by RTE in the 'Prime Time Investigates' broadcast on May 23rd, according to the terms of settlement which were read out in the High Court.

RONAN McGREEVY

The libel action involving a priest wrongly accused by RTÉ of having sex with a minor and fathering a child by her has been settled.

Fr Kevin Reynolds, the parish priest of Ahascragh, Co Galway, was "grossly defamed" by RTÉ in the Prime Time Investigates  broadcast on May 23rd, according to the terms of settlement which were read out in the High Court. The case had been due to go to a four-day trial.

The amount of damages was not disclosed but RTÉ has agreed to pay both compensatory damage and aggravated damage to the priest.

RTÉ has also agreed to publish the first correction order under Section 30 of the Defamation Act 2009 which will be broadcast on RTÉ's Prime Time  and Morning Ireland  programmes and published in the Connaught Tribune , The Irish Times , Irish Independent  and Irish Examiner .

The lengthy terms of settlement, which took 20 minutes to read and stretched to 35 paragraphs, was read out in front of the reporter Aoife Kavanagh, the executive producer Brian Páircéir and the Prime Time Investigates  editor Ken O'Shea. The producer/director of the programme Mark Lappin has since left RTÉ.

Reading out the terms of settlement, Jack Fitzgerald SC, counsel for Fr Reynolds, said reporter Aoife Kavanagh had confronted the priest after first communion mass and accused him of sexually abusing a teenage girl in Kenya in 1982, fathering a child by the woman and abandoning the child.

Despite the priest's repeated denials, an email from Fr Reynold's former bshop Philip Sulumeti in Kenya and his offer to take a paternity test, the programme was broadcast.

Mr Fitzgerald said RTÉ and Aoife Kavanagh had choices prior to the broadcast and the ones they made was "utterly misjudged and wrong" and had an "utterly devastating impact" on his life.

RTÉ was afforded every opportunity to review its position and remove any reference to Fr Reynolds from the programme.

Some 519,0000 viewers watched the Prime Time Investigates  programme which was heavily promoted in advance, and the allegation was treated as fact on the following morning's Morning Ireland  programme which had 338,000 viewers. It was also broadcast worldwide on the internet, he said.

Fr Reynolds had suffered "irreparable damage" to his reputation, his life was utterly altered, and he was removed from his home and his community, Mr Fitzgerald told the court.

Despite an apology, which was first broadcast after Fr Reynolds took a paternity test, the priest still feels "very upset by the damage to his good name, reputation and network of relationships both here and in Africa".

He felt personally damaged as a result of the defamation and the scar remains, Mr Fitzgerald said.

His 40th year as a priest has been marred by the enormity of the "abhorrent crime of which he was publicly and globally accused".

Fr Reynolds was hugged by members of his family as he left the court. He did not comment.

However, Fr Sean McDonagh, on behalf of the Association of Catholic Priests who backed Fr Reynolds in his action, said they were delighted that he had been "utterly vindicated".

"It's his day. I've accompanied him from the very beginning and the pain and trauma being forced out of his parish, forced to stand down as a Catholic priest. It was vile and it was appalling," he said.

Fr McDonagh said neither Fr Reynolds nor the association had the means to take a High Court libel action and could not have done so without the case being taken on a pro-bono basis by Robert Dore & Co solicitors.

Mr McDonagh stressed that it was a "good day for Catholic priests".

He cited the recent Amarach survey which suggested that 47 per cent of people thought 20 per cent of priests were paedophiles when the reality was the figure was closer to 2 per cent to 3 per cent.

"Catholic priests have got a very bad presentation, unbalanced to the extent that the public think one-in-five priests is a paedophile," he said.

"If it happened to journalists, you would all be up in arms. I hope this is a wake-up call. We're not asking for special treatment, we're just asking for truth, fairness and justice."

What would happen you if you cost your employer a "significant" amount of money I wonder?

Sackings 'not the way' to handle botched broadcast -- RTE

By Colm Kelpie and Aoife Finneran
Friday November 18 2011
RTE last night insisted that sacking those responsible for a botched broadcast that led to a massive libel settlement was "not necessarily" the best way.

The state broadcaster yesterday secured an undisclosed settlement with Galway priest Fr Kevin Reynolds after it wrongly alleged that he sexually abused a teenage girl and fathered a child with her while a missionary in Kenya.

Both sides refused to reveal how much money is involved, but it is understood to be significant.

RTE was last night coming under intense pressure to reveal how and why certain editorial decisions were taken on the 'Prime Time Investigates' story that aired on May 23 last, and to reveal what disciplinary action would be taken against those responsible.

But a spokesman claimed treating the issue as a "punitive exercise" was not necessarily the best route to learn lessons.

"Looking for heads is not necessarily the best way for an organisation to learn the lessons that arise from an issue like this," he said.

However, he said that no decisions had yet been made, and said the matter would continue to be taken seriously by RTE.

"Our current affairs team has a very strong journalistic record over many years," he said.

"What we wish to do is to understand how this mistake was made and to ensure that our processes are sound to protect against such exceptional cases."

It is understood four individuals may have been involved in the editorial process for the programme, 'Mission to Prey', outside of reporter Aoife Kavanagh -- producer Mark Lappin, who it is understood has since left RTE; executive producer Brian Pairceir; editor of current affairs in charge of 'Prime Time' Ken O'Shea; and managing director of news Ed Mulhall.

It is not known if any of the five raised concerns before the airing of the programme.

Fr Reynolds (65), parish priest of St Cuan's, Ahascragh, Co Galway, brought proceedings following the broadcast last May, which purported to deal with the alleged abuse of children and teenagers by Irish missionaries in Africa.

The allegations in the programme concerning Fr Reynolds were also discussed on 'Morning Ireland' the following morning.

It is understood that Fr Reynolds wrote to RTE offering to do a paternity test before the programme aired to prove his innocence.

He has since undertaken that test, which proved he was not the father of the child

That is what you have at the helm over there, eejits who just happen to drop by for a friendly chat to try and intimidate and get Tony to drop his campaign.
Apart from him being on  this board and OWC should his name be familiar to us?

                        Stuart McAfee has been identified as the idiot who showed up at Fearon's place of work to have a nice wee cordial chat with our Tone. according to loyalist liars on here he 'just happened to be in the area'.


                    Is that for real Stew?




                I asked Tony himself when I saw this and he said yes.

            And what happened? and why was he targeted ?


        Seriously, what is this about?


    Tony Fearon is and was a board legend, he was an awful man for getting a rise out of the OWC crowd and he had them absolutely scundered. Tony mounted a one man campaign to highlight the fact that OWC were a  bunch of twisted, bigotted b**tards.

    Needless to say that they fought him at every farts turn however the.y decided to amp things up, they went to his office and met with his secretary, they sent postcards to his place of work a few times to intimidate and finally, when they could take his shit no more they send McAfee around to his place of work to intimidate him, it did not work.

in fairness to tony he was the ultimate wind up merchant. not only did he usually have the OWC crowd apoplectic with rage, most of the time 90% of the posters on here were also fit to strangle him.

at one stage here there was hardly a day would go by without feron starting some outrageous thread and then watching the mayhem ensue.
regarding the incident with yer man ''MAC'' as he was known, as far as i recall mac called into Tony's office one day on spec (tony feron was a publicity hound so everyone knew all about him including where he worked) to confront tony about his constant running down of all thing relating to the N. Ireland Football team. anyway after they had a chat and a cup of tea mac went back to report on the OWC website that in fact tony was not that bad of a lad and was basically a wind up merchant of the highest order.

the hardcore boys on OWC did not want to here this and in typical tradition immediately accused yer man mac of having no idea what he was talking about and that ferron was scum. this despite the fact they had never met him and there hero mac had actually spoken with him.

Man jailed for placing human faeces on heater in bizarre experiment

Published 17 Oct 2011 16:30
Share this                 


A 30-year-old man who tried to turn his shit into gold by putting it on an electric heater has been jailed for three months.

Paul Moran's bizarre experiment caused around £3,000 worth of damage to his Housing Executive flat at Derrin Park in Enniskillen.

He admitted arson and endangering the lives of others.

He was given a one-month concurrent sentence for throwing his excrement around a holding cell at Enniskillen Police Station.

Upon his release he will spend a further 12 months on licence.

His Honour Judge McFarland told him: "Rather bizarely you were attempting to make gold from human faeces and waste products."

He described it as "an interesting experiment to fulfil the alchemist's dream", adding that it was never going to succeed.

Full story in Thursday's edition.

When I first read this I thought Evil Genius had finally been outed. What other Fermanagh man thinks his shite is so valuable?

I did. I told the supervisor to keep it and I'd buy it elsewhere. Which I did ID free. The checkout girl was just doing as she was told, the muppet that came over should have known better.

I'd be a little annoyed and flattered at the same time! Still, the worker behind the till was only doing their job I presume. It could be worse, in many parts of the US being asked for ID for items like alcohol is common even in your 60's.

Yeah US is awful for that shite! my old student ID wasn't good enough i needed a passport to enter a nightclub.

Went to see Breaking Dawn in the cinema tonight and was sitting in front of a traveller couple. He was obviously not too impressed with the storyline and said to her, 'all this is is shagging, nothin' but shagging'. She told him to shush and he replies even louder, 'No I'll not shush'. Up he gets then and storms out, she waited a few minutes and then went after him. There will be some fight in that caravan tonight.

Breaking Dawn incidentally was good.

Dublin clinic sees 30% rise in Botox treatments
Monday, November 21, 2011 - 10:26 AM

There has been an increase of 30% in clients attending a Dublin clinic for Botox injections.

The botulinum toxin is used to 'freeze' facial muscles, lending a smooth appearance to the face.

The latest trend is one of a more natural look, with smaller doses, and has been dubbed 'baby botox'.

The USA stubbornly refuses to adopt the metric system and join the rest of the world in accepting logical, simplified, sensible, units of measurement. There is a reason for the reluctance of American politicians to engage in any sort of confrontation on the Metric Matter.

A Washington acquaintance of mine, a member of a Congressional committee who will benefit from anonymity, told me that she is regularly visited by lobbyists who represent religious clients and caution her against endorsing any acceptance of metrication for common American use. Why? Because, they preach, the metric system originated with atheists, and not just any sort of atheists, but with French atheists, obviously the worst kind!

One of the results of the French Revolution that was arrived at in 1791 was the adoption in that country of the metric system of measurements – which fell just short of changing clocks into a ten-hour dial with one hundred minutes – think of a possible revolt of clockmakers! – and was quickly taken up by almost all other civilized countries.

American politicians have to think twice about accepting ungodly notions, no matter how useful, logical, rational, or reasonable such ideas may be. Those folks who can accept virgin birth by humans as well as talking bushes and serpents, will just have to muddle along...

Question on empiricism:

If you conducted a test 20,000,000 times a year, each year for 10 years, and got the same result, would you be able to form a definite conclusion?

Well, I don't imagine that empiricists would be drawn to repeating the same test to that degree.  But I think, taking the question at face value, that an empiricist would predict a very likely, rather than a definite, outcome.

Correct, but not for the reason you may (forgive me if I'm wrong) be proposing.

Irish (and most) airport searches are unlikely to ever catch a terrorist because the number of times terrorists have used any individual airport for the purposes of terrorism is zero in all but a very small number of cases.

Also, the "test" in question probably does not meet the most rigorous criteria of effectivity for purpose, consistency, precision and repeatability that, in empirical tems, would be required for a likely conclusion, much less a definite one (which concept doesn't doesn't really exist in scientific terms).

Extract from this week's Connacht Tribune:

Clouds of confusion as Galway councillor tells another to 'go f..k
himself"

A GALWAY councillor has refused to apologise for swearing at a County
Council committee meeting after he told a fellow councillor to "go ****
himself"

Local area councillor Seamus O Scanail made the amazing outburst after
he was told he was a "feckin eejit" for thinking that cloud computing
was only suitable in areas with lots of rain.

He had told the Infrastructure Committee meeting this week that his
native Connemara would be ideal for cloud computing because it has heavy
cloud cover for nine months of the year."

The Independent councillor said that the Government should be doing more
to harness clean industries for the Connemara area and he named wind
energy and cloud computing as two obvious examples.

"Connemara in particular could become a centre of excellence for wind
energy harnessing, as it is open to the Atlantic. Also in terms of cloud
computing, we have dense thick fog for nine months of the year, because
of the mountain heights and the ability to harness this cloud power,
there is tremendous scope for cloud computing to become a major employer
in this region."

However his mistake was pointed out by an incredulous Cllr Martin Shiels
who said that "this is taking the biscuit. I've heard it all now. You
must be a fecking eejit to think that the cloud computing had anything
to do with climate."

Cllr O Scanail took umbrage at the remarks of his colleague and called
for them to be withdrawn. When Cllr Shields refused to do so, Tiernan
said "go
**** yourself, Cllr Shields."

Chairman Sile Ni Baoill asked for both councillors to withdraw their
comments, but Cllr O Scanail was repentant that Cllr Shields was wrong
and that cloud computing is linked to cloud cover.

Post by: Square Ball on November 29, 2011, 03:24:32 PM
a different take on what most right thinking people would think? here is the transcript from  the British Resistance web site:

So they tracked down the Tram Lady, 34 year old Emma West for daring to speak the truth and stand up for British People in a public place, arrested her and held her on remand until she appears in Court sometime today.  Did she attack someone after the camera stopped selectively filming?

Emma has been charged with a racially-aggravated public order offence - which is an offence that should never even exist in Our Country and is a crime that is used to beat the British into silence about the colonisation of our country.

Well let us go through exactly what Emma West said and you decide if it is racial rubbish or plain simple truth.

Emma: 'What has this country come to?  A load of black people and a load of ****ing Polish.  A load of ****ing, yeah... you're all ****ing... do you know what I mean?"

Well nothing racist there.  Just the truth.  Public order offence for the language but no big deal.

Emma: 'You ain't English.  No, you ain't English either.  You ain't English.  None of you's ****ing English.

Here Emma was looking around and speaking the truth.  The people she was addressing were not English and never can be.  None of them were English.  Fact.  No racism there just plain truth spoken in a very blunt fashion.

Emma: "Get back to your own ****ing... do you know what sort out your own countries, don't come and do mine."

Here, presumbably Emma meant to say that the colonisers should return to their countries of origin and not turn Our Country into the same kind of dung heaps they have turned their own lands into.  Nothing racist there.  Just a view that all True British People share.

Emma: 'It's nothing now.  Britain is nothing now.  Britain is **** all.  My Britain is **** all."

More plain truth.  Britain, especially the infested inner cities are nothing but mirror images of all the dung heap cities of the Third World.  The colonisers have turned Our Country into crap.

Emma: "Go back to where you come from, go back to ****ing Nicaragua or where ever you come from.  Just ****ing go back."

Nothing racist there.  Just a very natural desire to be left alone with her own people in her own country.

Emma: 'I work, I work, I work, this is my British country until we let you lot come over."

This was in response to some Black colonisers saying that the immigrants have come to our country because the native British are too lazy to work.  By the warped logic of the PC Brigade that Black woman should be charged with racism.

But Emma is wrong.  The British People were never asked if they wanted to hand their Country over to people who have nothing in common with the True British People.  It was the stinking politicians, many of them descendants from immigrants themselves who flooded our country with the overspill of the third world.

Emma: 'So what.  It is my British country, you ain't British.  Are you British?  You ain't ****ing British.  **** off."

'You ain't British, you're black.  Where do you come from?

Again Emma was looking around at the sea of alien faces glaring at her and was again correct.  None of them were or will ever be British.  "Citizens" maybe but never True "British".

Emma: 'No, someone's got to talk up for these lot.  Look the whole ****ing tram, look at them.  Who is black and who is white.

'There is all black and ****ing brown people.'

Again Emma is looking around at our nightmare - everyone around her was Black or Brown.

This is going to be a very interesting court case and may well be the trigger to something much bigger.

Should this brave lady escape with a fine we shall launch an appeal to fund it and should she be made into a political prisoner we will campaign for her release.

Update:

Emma has been remanded in custody for reports and will appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on 6 December

Got this in an email. I'd be curious to know if the 'facts' are verifiable?

QuoteCan you imagine working for a company that only has a little more than 635 employees, but, has the following employee statistics.

29 have been accused of spouse abuse,
7 have been arrested for fraud,
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques,
17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses,
3 have done time for assault,
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit,
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
8 have been arrested for shoplifting,
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits,
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year,

And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax payer £92,993,748 in expenses!!!

Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons.

The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

What a bunch of crooks we have running our country - it says it all...

And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country - whilst trying to ensure that everyone else has the worst possible!!

If you agree that this is an appalling state of affairs, please pass it on to everyone you know

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/courts/man-faces-over-200-charges-of-raping-his-daughters-2949350.html

By Brian McDonald


Wednesday November 30 2011

A 50-year-old man went on trial yesterday on 271 charges of raping and assaulting or neglecting his four daughters.

The charges cover an 18-year period between 1991 and 2009. It took more than an hour-and-a-half for the court registrar to put each of the alleged offences to the accused man.

He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

The accused man was invited to sit after he had been standing for almost an hour to answer each of the charges.

None of the parties can be identified for legal reasons.

The man faces a total of 114 charges of rape in respect of one daughter, 47 charges of raping another daughter, 33 rape charges in respect of the third and 32 charges of raping the fourth daughter.

One of the charges alleges that, on a date unknown between September 2004 and September 2005, he raped one of his daughters on the bonnet of a car.

He has also denied a total of 45 charges of wilfully assaulting, neglecting or abandoning each of his four daughters in a manner likely to cause each of them unnecessary suffering.

The court was told that the offences are all alleged to have taken place at locations within the State.

The case is being heard before Mr Justice Paul Carney and a jury at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Castlebar and is expected to last two weeks.

http://www.axiron.com/Pages/applying-axiron.aspx

What is the most important information I should know about AXIRON?
AXIRON can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where the AXIRON was applied. Signs of puberty that are not expected (for example, pubic hair) have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through skin-to-skin contact with men using topical testosterone products like AXIRON. Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where AXIRON has been applied. If a woman or child makes contact with the application area, the contact area on the woman or child should be washed well with soap and water right away.
To lower the risk of transfer of AXIRON from your body to others, follow these important instructions:
•   Apply AXIRON only to your armpits.
•   Wash your hands right away with soap and water after applying AXIRON.
•   After the solution has dried, cover the application area with clothing. Keep area covered until you have washed the application area well or have showered.
•   If you expect another person to have direct skin-to-skin contact with your armpits, first wash the application area well with soap and water.

Stop using AXIRON and call your healthcare provider right away if you see any signs and symptoms in a child or a woman that may have occurred through accidental exposure to AXIRON. Signs and symptoms in children may include enlarged penis or clitoris; early development of pubic hair; increased erections or sex drive; aggressive behavior. Signs and symptoms in women may include changes in body hair and a large increase in acne.

QuoteA Dutch architectural firm might try to find a silver lining in its cloud that critics say resembles a World Trade Center under attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

The firm, MVRDV, apologized on its website Monday after being criticized for the resemblance between the exploding Twin Towers and the "pixelated cloud" designed to bridge two skyscrapers planned to rise above Seoul, South Korea.

"There is nothing finalized about the design," Seo Hee Seok, a spokesman for the project's developer, told Bloomberg News Tuesday.

The Seoul skyscrapers, designed to stretch 57 and 60 stories high, is planned for a development near U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, the headquarters for U.S. armed forces in the country, which is slated to return to South Korean control by 2016, Bloomberg reported.

In its apology, the firm said it wasn't its intention for the building to resemble the attacks and that no issues were raised about it while designing the structure.

"Don't insult our intelligence," John Feal, a first responder who lost part of his foot after being injured at ground zero, told CBS News station WCBS-TV in New York. "To many, the wound hasn't closed, so when you see pictures like that it keeps that wound open."

But to Washington Post art and architecture critic Phil Kennicott, the controversy appears to be an effort "to use the meaning of the terrorist attack for larger, more overbearing cultural control."

Kennicott writes further: "Even if the Dutch design firm, MVRDV intended a reference to 9/11, there's no reason that reference should be read as mocking or ironic. It might easily be seen as an effort to freeze frame a traumatic event, in architectural form, and neutralize its shock and pain."

The truth of it is probably that the guy he kiilled wasn't Irish, so the judge saw fit to let him off lightly.

QuoteA Dutch architectural firm might try to find a silver lining in its cloud that critics say resembles a World Trade Center under attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

The firm, MVRDV, apologized on its website Monday after being criticized for the resemblance between the exploding Twin Towers and the "pixelated cloud" designed to bridge two skyscrapers planned to rise above Seoul, South Korea.

"There is nothing finalized about the design," Seo Hee Seok, a spokesman for the project's developer, told Bloomberg News Tuesday.

The Seoul skyscrapers, designed to stretch 57 and 60 stories high, is planned for a development near U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, the headquarters for U.S. armed forces in the country, which is slated to return to South Korean control by 2016, Bloomberg reported.

In its apology, the firm said it wasn't its intention for the building to resemble the attacks and that no issues were raised about it while designing the structure.

"Don't insult our intelligence," John Feal, a first responder who lost part of his foot after being injured at ground zero, told CBS News station WCBS-TV in New York. "To many, the wound hasn't closed, so when you see pictures like that it keeps that wound open."

But to Washington Post art and architecture critic Phil Kennicott, the controversy appears to be an effort "to use the meaning of the terrorist attack for larger, more overbearing cultural control."

Kennicott writes further: "Even if the Dutch design firm, MVRDV intended a reference to 9/11, there's no reason that reference should be read as mocking or ironic. It might easily be seen as an effort to freeze frame a traumatic event, in architectural form, and neutralize its shock and pain."

Seriously?

Anyway it looks more like an H-block than Twin Towers.

No I meant the woman made me go WTF. I have never seen a woman reversing that well. My own mother refused to reverse at all and just drove straight ahead for 35 years. She never parked facing a wall or a fence. There was one time we missed our turn in Lissan and instead of reversing back 12 yards she drove the whole way to Portrush and turned at the roundabout there. It meant we completely missed her da's funeral.

Dante Autullo took the opportunity to post his x-ray to Facebook in the ambulance between hospitals

Man shoots nail into brain without noticing
Dante Autullo took the opportunity to post his x-ray to Facebook in the ambulance between hospitals A suburban Chicago man accidentally shot a 3.25in (8.25cm) nail into his skull but is recovering after doctors successfully removed it from the centre of his brain.

Dante Autullo, 34, was in his workshop when a nail gun recoiled near his head.

But he had no idea the nail had entered his brain until the next day, when he began feeling nauseous.

Doctors told Mr Autullo that the nail came within millimetres of the area used for motor function.

His fiancee, Gail Glaenzer, told the Associated Press on Friday that he was in good spirits after the two-hour surgery to remove the nail at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois.

Sensor triggered

"He feels good. He moved all his limbs, he's talking normal, he remembers everything," she said. "It's amazing, a miracle."

Ms Glaenzer said she had no idea the nail had entered his skull when she cleaned a cut on his forehead.


Gail Glaenzer said he jokingly told her to get the TV cameras: "I'm one of those medical miracles" She convinced him to go to the hospital after he felt nauseous for much of Wednesday.

Mr Autullo thought that the nail gun had simply hit his forehead, but realised later that when the gun came in contact with his head, the sensor recognised a flat surface and fired.

While there are pain-sensitive nerves on a person's skull, there are none within the brain itself.

Hospital spokesman Mike Maggio said the part of the skull that was removed for surgery had to be replaced with a titanium mesh amid worries that it might have been contaminated by the nail.

how in the name of feck would you not notice shotting yourself in the napper with a nail gun?

Woman stuck on toilet for two years
Authorities in the US are trying to establish what caused a 35-year-old woman to sit on her boyfriend's toilet for so long her skin grafted to the seat.

Kansas woman Pam Babcock had to be prised off the toilet at her boyfriend Kory McFarren's house after allegedly sitting there for two years.

She was only moved when McFarren called 911 on February 27 and told police there was "something wrong" with his girlfriend.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple told AP there was no indication Babcock had been restrained against her will.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said.

McFarren told police he had asked Babcock every day to please come out of the bathroom, but her reply was always: "Maybe tomorrow."

He also said he brought her food and water every day.

Police found Babcock clothed and sitting on the toilet with her pants lowered to mid-thigh level.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said.

"The hospital removed it."

Ontario's City News website is reporting that McFarren may face charges in relation to the case.

Questions are being asked about why the 36-year-old antique store worker didn't raise the alarm earlier.

But he insists the situation developed slowly and he had come to believe his girlfriend's behaviour wasn't strange.

"It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay - like it was a safe place for her," he said.

McFarren insisted Babcock hadn't spent the entire two years on the toilet, claiming that until late January she was taking baths and changing her clothes regularly.

He says he panicked and finally called for help two weeks ago when Babcock appeared groggy after spending as much as a month sitting on the toilet.

McFarren says Babcock developed a phobia about leaving the bathroom which stemmed from beatings she received in her childhood.

But despite his professions that he was caring for his partner of 16 years, authorities have indicated they are considering charging him with mistreatment of a dependent adult.

Babcock's legs atrophied (suffered muscle wastage) as a result of her sitting on the toilet for so long and it's not known if she will ever walk again.

From todays indo

Tuesday February 21 2012

PETER Skyllberg, the Swedish man who apparently survived more than two months of freezing winter in a snow-covered car had been living in the vehicle since last summer, when he was a regular customer at a local petrol station.

Mr Skyllberg was said by doctors to have endured temperatures of -30C (-22F) as he stayed inside the car through most of December, January and February after it was covered by heavy snow in a forest near the town of Umea in northern Sweden. He was eventually found, apparently emaciated and barely able to move or speak, by passers-by.


Mr Skyllberg was said to have survived on nothing but snow, but investigators believe that he also ate a "salve or ointment" that was found in the car in order to survive. Police initially thought he may have been a nature lover who may have become trapped while on an expedition.


But a local petrol station owner, Andreas Östensson, said that Mr Skyllberg had been living in the forest and sleeping in his car since last summer and that he had regularly come into his store to buy "hot dogs and coffee".


He said the 44-year-old "loner" was apparently in good health when he had disappeared towards the end of last year.


"He drove here in his car. Sometimes he filled the car and bought hot dogs, bread, cigarettes and coffee," Mr Östensson said. "He said that he lived in the forest and slept in the car."


He said Mr Skyllberg never spoke to other customers. "He was kind of odd but always very nice. He talked to me and he was laughing. I got the impression that he had driven through all Sweden, then stopped here and told himself 'this is a good place, I will stay here'," he told the newspaper Aftonbladet.


"Of course I thought it was odd that he lived in the forest. I was wondering what he was doing all day. But on the other hand he was good looking, used camping clothes, shaved himself and had good hygiene. I knew he was a loner but that he could live in the car for such a long time is difficult to understand."


Mr Skyllberg, from the central Swedish town of Karlskoga, had allegedly told Mr Östensson that he was from south Sweden and that he had worked as a carpenter but had had to leave the job.


But it has since emerged that he apparently got into money troubles after trying to buy a block of apartments. A local court ordered Mr Skyllberg's properties be seized after he was unable to pay debts of 1.6?million Kronor (€180,000). He had also broken up with his girlfriend.


A friend of Mr Skyllberg's claimed yesterday that he had disappered last May with debt collectors on his heels and had not been heard from since.


Police in Umea are baffled as to why Mr Skyllberg apparently did not try to leave his car. While the claim he had survived for 60 days with no food has drawn scepticism, experts say it is possible.


Mr Skyllberg is recovering in Umea's Norrlands hospital but refuses to talk to the press. Police believe his claims that he lived on snow and confirmed that he had not many hours to live when found.


He has not been in contact with his family for many years. "I have no information about him. He stopped contacting the family 20 years ago," his father said.

Laois locals were paid to play cricket during the Great Famine



"TAKING THE Queen's shilling" has acquired an unexpected new meaning with the revelation that men in the midlands played cricket for a landlord's cash during the Great Famine.

Documents discovered in Co Laois reveal that the quintessential English game offered poverty-stricken Irishmen a rare chance to earn money during the catastrophe which devastated the countryside.

Viscount Ashbrook's cricket club – on his estate at Castle Durrow – had a membership composed of the local Protestant gentry. But when the club needed extra players, Catholic men from the lower classes were hired to supplement the team. While the "toffs" were required to make cash contributions to the club, the Laois "temps" were actually paid for their endeavours.

Records from the Ashbrook Cricket Club for the years 1846-1848 have unexpectedly come to light and will be auctioned by Sheppard's fine art auctioneers next month.

Rules and Regulations for the Season 1847 – the worst year of the Famine – show that the club members were required to pay "one shilling for every match they are on the losing side" and "one shilling and sixpence" (which included the cost of a luncheon of "cold meat") for each practice day.

But the Catholic hirelings were paid for their participation – at the rate of "two shillings each for practice day and the same per day for matches against other clubs and their expenses".

Auctioneer Philip Sheppard said the "mostly Catholic" young men had "used their sporting skills to earn money at a time of mass starvation" by "playing alongside peers of the realm, members of parliament, medical doctors and clergymen".

With the exception of boxers and jockeys, the Laois cricketers appear to have been the first Irish sports players to be paid. But perhaps Viscount Ashbrook, a reputedly "good" landlord, had devised the payments to alleviate suffering?

Ashbrook Cricket Club's records for the summer of 1847 chronicle matches against clubs including Kilkenny; The Huntingdon Club at the Heath Ground in Maryborough (now Portlaoise); Templemore, Co Tipperary; the Carlow Club; and the Phoenix Club in Dublin.

Although that year subsequently became known as "Black '47" in Irish history, there is no hint or reference to the social impact of the Famine.

Mr Sheppard said the document was the earliest-known, organised "primary source" record of Irish sport in existence – with the exception of those relating to horse-racing – which "expands our understanding of mid-19th century provincial sporting and social life beyond the generalities of the huntin', shootin', fishin' stereotype".

That article seems to assume that simply because it was 1847, and it was somewhere in Ireland, that everyone there was starving. The effects of the famine were not spread evenly over the country.

In other things that make me wonder and think a lot.
The 2 year old boy that died in front of Marie Colvin, she was a CNN reporter in syria.She was naturally upset, as anyone with a heart would, she explained why she wanted the footage broadcast, sadly she was dead a day later herself, a victim just like the little kid of the bombing in Homs.

I don't know what to say about this one...


http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2012/02/joe_arpaio_craigslist_used_to.php



​Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and company say they've found more people surfing Craigslist trying to find dogs that are DTF.

The plan, according to Arpaio, was that the three people arrested by the MCSO last night were using Craigslist to find a dog to "fornicate" with the woman, while her husband and friend watched.

The sheriff's office says all three of their suspects -- Shane Walker, 38, Sarah Dae Walker, 33, and Robert Aucker, 29 -- showed up to the predetermined location, where they met an undercover detective and his male Golden Shepherd mix.

The detective was also offered the "opportunity to join in on the act," although it's not clear exactly what his role would have been.

MCSO Sgt. Brandon Jones tells New Times he "can't disclose" exactly how this operation was set up, but we know it ended up with three people meeting with a detective, his dog, and with expectations of at least one person having sex with it.

UPDATE: According to court documents obtained by New Times, the undercover detective responded to a Craigslist ad posted by the Walkers. The three admitted the plan was for Sarah Walker to have sex with the dog, and her husband, Aucker, and the undercover deputy would join in at some point, according to the documents.

Arpaio's apparently sharp with puns today, as he's quoted in a press release saying, "People who do this for enjoyment are a different breed, that's for certain."

Arpaio also reiterated the fact that he wrote a letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster (almost a year ago) asking that he try to prevent the barnyard-banging-type stuff on his website, but Arpaio never got a response.

The sheriff's office says the Walkers and Aucker each admitted to their intentions with the dog, and as part of the Walkers' open marriage, Aucker told detectives he and Sarah Walker "have had a sexual relationship for the last month and that she shared with him dreams of having sex with a dog."


(http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/huskyfreakout.jpg)
What we're guessing the dog's face looked like when it was informed of the plan.

This is now the second alleged dog-sex plan busted up by the MCSO using Craigslist, since two men -- one of them an elementary school teacher -- were arrested in a plot similar to the above-mentioned trio.

The Walkers and Aucker were arrested for "conspiring to commit an act of bestiality," according to the sheriff's office.

Dublin patron saint's heart stolen from Christ Church Cathedral The heart was housed in a wooden box surrounded by an iron cage
The preserved heart of Dublin's patron saint has been stolen from the city's Christ Church Cathedral, officials say.

The thief would have needed metal cutters to prise open the iron bars protecting the wooden heart-shaped box holding St Laurence O'Toole's heart.

Police believe it happened some time between Friday night and about 12.30 GMT on Saturday.

"They specifically targeted this, they wanted the heart of St Laurence O'Toole," a church spokeswoman said.

"It's completely bizarre," she said, adding that valuable gold chalices and gold candlesticks were ignored by the thief.

The heart has been a major pilgrimage site at Christ Church since the medieval period.

'Priceless treasure'

The dean of Christ Church Cathedral and the diocese of Dublin and Glendalough, the Rev Dermot Dunne, said he was "devastated" by the theft of the 12th Century relic.

"It has no economic value but it is a priceless treasure that links our present foundation with its founding father, St Laurence O'Toole," he added.

The church received about 40 visitors between 09:30 GMT and 12:30 GMT when the theft was discovered, but church officials said the thief could have hidden in the building overnight.

There were no initial signs of any alarms or break-ins at the cathedral, although one staff member did see a candle alight when they arrived to open the church.

St Laurence O'Toole was born Lorcan Ua Tuathail in Castledermot, Co Kildare, in 1128. He was appointed Archbishop of Dublin after the death of Archbishop Gregory in 1162.

He died in November 1180 in Normandy, France, and was canonised in 1225 because of miracles said to have happened at his tomb.

Each Lent he returned to Glendalough, in Co Wicklow, where he lived in St Kevin's Cell, a sort of cave, for 40 days.

Relic raids

In recent months other relics have been stolen in the Irish Republic.

An ornate container that usually contained a relic of St Brigid was stolen from St Brigid's Church, Killester, north of Dublin, where it was screwed onto the altar.

And in October last year a relic believed to be from the cross on which Jesus was crucified, was stolen from Holycross Abbey, near Thurles.

It was later returned after a police search.

A Sri Lankan man has died while trying to set a record for the longest time spent buried alive, police say.
Janaka Basnayake, 24, is said to have buried himself over the weekend with the help of family and friends in a trench sealed with wood and soil in the town of Kantale, about 137 miles (220km) north of Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo. A local newspaper reported that the trench was three metres deep.
Basnayake was buried at around 9.30am on Saturday. Police said that when he was brought to the surface at 4pm, he was unconscious and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Dr DG Costa of the Kantale hospital said a postmortem could not determine the cause of death and further medical investigations were being conducted.
Basnayake's mother, LD Leelawathi, said her son had enjoyed performing unusual acts since his childhood – a liking that grew after watching movies, the Lankadeepa newspaper reported.
It quoted her as saying her son had been buried alive on two previous occasions – for two and a half hours and six hours respectively.
It was unclear whether there is an official world record for the longest time buried alive.
Police said Basnayake was a member of the Civil Defence Force, a police unit that fought in the country's 25-year civil war.

The body of a man whose remains lay undiscovered at his home in Wexford town for three months was found by gardaí on Sunday night.


The alert was raised by a passerby on Lower John Street in the centre of the town who noticed a Christmas tree in the window with the lights still on.


It is thought the 62-year-old man died at Christmas.


The body of the man, who is originally from Britain, was found on the floor in one of the bedrooms in an advanced state of decomposition.


The house was still draped in Christmas decorations and the heating was still on.


The man's identity is not being released until all next-of-kin have been traced and informed.


A post mortem is to be carried out at Waterford Regional Hospital tomorrow.


The man's death is not being treated as suspicious

Zimbabwe 'sperm hunters' picking up male travellers
GANGS of women in Zimbabwe have been picking up male travellers to have sexual intercourse and harvest their sperm, according to reports.

Susan Dhliwayo claims she pulled her car over recently to pick up a group of male hitchhikers and they refused to get in, because they feared they were going to be raped.


"Now, men fear women. They said: 'we can't go with you because we don't trust you'," 19-year-old Miss Dhliwayo recounted.


Local media have reported victims of the highway prowlers being drugged, subdued at gun or knife point – even with a live snake in one case – given a sexual stimulant and forced into repeated sex before being dumped on the roadside.


The sperm hunters first surfaced in the local press in 2009 but police have only arrested three women, found with a plastic bag of 31 used condoms in October. The attacks have continued since they were nabbed for allegedly violating 17 men.


"We do not have the exact number of confirmed cases," said national police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena.


"These cases occurred mostly when the victims were hitchhiking and boarded private vehicles. We encourage people to use public transport."


The sperm's exact use is not clear but is thought to be intended for "juju" or traditional rituals to bring luck – anything from enhancing good fortune, boosting business or preventing a criminal from being detected.


It is also not known why the semen is taken forcibly from strangers.


"It's really an issue which is mind boggling," said University of Zimbabwe sociologist Watch Ruparanganda, who believes it is a lucrative business. "It's quite a big mystery. Obviously we know (it is) being used for rituals."


Ruparanganda said he was astonished to discover seven years ago that semen appeared to have become a tradable commodity, while doing research for his doctoral thesis among Harare street youth who told him that businessmen would take them to hotels, give them new clothes and ply them with booze.


They were then told to pick a prostitute and to hand over the used condom after sex.


"It just shows there's some big racket somewhere, some big guys driving everything, but they are in the background and using these ladies," said Ruparanganda.


The Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association criticised the practice.


"We believe that this is a form of witchcraft. So we are totally against the idea," said spokesman George Kandiyero.


"It has really frightened people," he said. "It has really brought in a bit of shock because normally it was the other way round, normally we know of men raping women, not women raping men."


A Zimbabwean women's rights group has criticised the spotlight shifting to male rape victims, and paid for a newspaper advert to deplore that violence against women in the country is not met with the same degree of shock.


The three women linked to the case, meanwhile, have stirred much attention and public anger. Audiences pack into the dreary courtrooms each time they appear in the dock, and one of their lawyers said they have received death threats.


No law in Zimbabwe criminalises rape by women so the trio, arrested with one man, face 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault, though no trial date has as yet been set.


Dumisani Mthombeni, a lawyer for two of the women and the man, complained that five months after their arrest, prosecutors have yet to produce DNA test results, a charge sheet or witness statements but nonetheless have "paraded (the women) on national television as female rapists".


"We have not been given anything – nothing," Mthombeni said. "We believe they don't want us to go to trial because they arrested the wrong people."


The case has triggered a mix of shock, intrigue and humour – such as one newspaper cartoon showing a nude hitchhiker hoping to be picked up by a female driver – but also fear among some men.


"Of course we are scared," said a 26-year-old hitchhiker on a highway south of Harare, adding he would not get into a car driven by a woman.


"Even if she's old, we can't."

Footballers injuries, while not playing football ...

KASEY KELLER: The American international knocked out his front teeth while pulling his golf clubs out of the boot of his car.

ROY CARROLL: The West Ham goalkeeper was collecting balls from a goal during training when his foot got caught in the net and injured his knee.

RICHARD WRIGHT: Wright was ruled out of Everton's FA Cup fourth-round replay at Chelsea after suffering a freak injury during the warm-up. Wright ignored a notice warning him not to practice in the goalmouth and promptly fell over the sign, suffering a twisted ankle. The same player also damaged his shoulder falling through a loft as he was trying to pack away his suitcases.

RIO FERDINAND: During his spell at Leeds, the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee.

SEAN FLYNN: The then-Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars.

DAVE BEASANT: The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe.

DAVID JAMES: The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp.

ALEX STEPNEY: In 1975 the Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney dislocated his jaw while shouting at his defenders during a match against Birmingham.

CHIC BRODIE: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run on to the pitch. Brodie shattered his kneecap while the dog got the ball. "The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one," he reflected.

SANTIAGO CANIZARES: The Spain goalkeeper missed the 2002 World Cup after accidentally shattering a bottle of aftershave in his hotel sink. A piece of glass fell on his foot, severing a tendon in his big toe.

ALAN WRIGHT: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back strained his knee by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped the sports car for a Rover 416.

STEVE MORROW: The former Northern Ireland defender broke his collarbone after falling off the shoulders of Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win against Sheffield Wednesday.

SVEIN GRONDALEN: The Norway defender had to withdraw from an international during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging.

MICHAEL STENSGAARD: The Danish goalkeeper was forced to retire after suffering an injury to his shoulder while he attempted to fold down an ironing board.

DEREK LYLE: The Dundee striker fell through a glass table in his home which required 16 stitches and he missed his side's Scottish Cup quarter-final against Queen of the South.

DARIUS VASSELL: The then Aston Villa striker missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention.

KEVIN KYLE: The Kilmarnock striker spent a night in hospital in 2006 when his eight-month old son kicked a jug of boiling water over his crotch.

LIAM LAWRENCE: The midfielder, while at Stoke, fell down the stairs and injured his ankle after tripping over his dog.

Aston Villa captain Stilian Petrov has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia, the club have said.
The condition was diagnosed following tests after the Bulgaria international, 32, developed a fever following last Saturday's defeat to Arsenal.
The club said: "We expect to learn more about Stilian's situation in due course and we have moved quickly to support him and his family.
"During this time we ask that Stilian's privacy is placed ahead of all inquiries and trust that we will share information as we receive it.
"Stilian is cherished by many and he will get from Villa every ounce of love and support that we have to help bring this to a positive conclusion."

The girl who was raped, strangled and burned in Ukraine has died of her injuries. two of the young men who arrested were 'well connected' and promply released. Glad to see they were rearrested and charged following a public outcry. Terrible stuff.

LEINSTER HOUSE HAS become accustomed to hosting protesters outside its gates in recent years – there have been kids dressed as cats, turfcutters with wheelbarrows and even a cement truck driven into its walls.

Yesterday, however, the home of the Irish Government saw its first ever protest by Irish pornstars.

Mark Williamson and one other demonstrator stood outside the Dáil to call attention to the practice of unsafe sex amongst Irish adult film stars.

His campaign, called Like the Clappers, wants to highlight the risks involved for Irish adult performers.

The protest comes after similar rallies in America, which have successfully called for legislation to force producers to allow actors use condoms on set. Last year, the whole industry in LA shut down after a performer tested positive for HIV.

Williamson claims that at least 60 per cent of pornstars have contracted at least one STD while working and there are 22 known cases of HIV since 2004.

The previously unemployed 28-year-old told TheJournal.ie that he will not get hired if he insists on wearing condoms.

It is not a huge industry here. But producers have told me to like it or lump it. They say they'll find someone else to do it if I insist on wearing protection.
He would like to see legislation passed within 12 months which would force consenting adults to wear condoms while filming.

"The problem stems from it being such a small industry," he told us. "There is no body set up at the moment which could even implement such a rule."

Asked why producers object to safe sex, Williamson says it "all boils down to aesthetics".

"They think condoms kill the fantasy and passion. It makes it a bit more real," he explains.

Williamson got involved in the industry about a year ago after losing his job as an electrician as a result of the recession.

He booked his first gig after answering an ad posted on Gumtree.

"The problem for us – and one I've told my producers about – is that there is no health insurance available to us if it does 'go wrong'," added Williamson.

'Miracle' baby found alive after 12 hours in morgue

Parents in Argentina discover their premature baby girl was alive 12 hours after doctors declared her dead.

A baby that had been declared dead at birth was discovered alive by her parents after she had spent 12 hours in a frigid morgue drawer in Argentina.

The baby, born about three months prematurely, was whisked off to the morgue before her parents even saw her, said the baby's mother, Analia Bouter.

"I don't remember much because I was put to sleep," Bouter said through a translator. "They never showed me the baby."

Twelve hours after the baby was declared dead at the Argentine hospital, Bouter and her husband insisted hospital employees bring them to the morgue and allow them to say goodbye.

But when morgue employees opened the drawer where the baby lay, the parents heard her crying.

"That's when we heard the baby cry," said Favian Veron, the baby's father.

Bouter fell to her knees in disbelief, fearing she was hallucinating.

The baby is now in critical care and improving, according to the hospital.

Dr. Barry Halpern, medical director of the NICU at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, suspects that the Argentine doctors presumed the baby was dead because they didn't hear a heart beat. "The staff probably listened to the heartbeat and didn't think they heard one," Halpern told TODAY. "Perhaps it was a very faint beat that they didn't hear."

Halpern said this kind of mistake isn't likely to happen with an experienced staff.

"The more experienced the staff, the more experienced the physicians, the less likely it is for something like this to happen," he said.

Argentinian health officials have suspended five hospital workers pending an investigation. The parents say they plan to sue.

The parents have named their baby, "Luz Milagros," their little miracle.

Yesterday evening, was coming out of local filling station that has shop, chippy etc and is generally a very busy spot. While waiting inside to get served, noticed 4 lads finishing up a feed, all in 40's and in good form. They left and were joking laughing. 3 got in car and drove off, while one came back in with a bag, grabbed his coffee and went back outside for a fag. I got served and went into jeep to drive off, as i was reversing, I noticed your man coughing heavily and just as I was driving by him, he just heeled over backways. I stopped jeep and jumped out and ran round where he was. He was very red, eyes wide open and he was gagging. The only thing I could do was roll him over to recovery position.

He spluttered out some coffee and eventually got his breath and after 2 mins, he sat up. He had no idea what happened but thinks he choked on the coffee or it went down the wrong way. Poor man was in shock, as was I, but he gathered himself pretty quick and was ok. I offered him a lift to DOC on call but he was happy enough and said he'd clean himself up, he had a grazed head from the fall.

The WTF comes from the actions or rather non-reactions of others. This is a very busy spot with big glass windows, as I jumped out I could see the OMG reactions of others in the diner/shop. He was other side of my jeep, so the view was blocked when I pulled up but not one other person came over or came out to offer help or see if an ambulance was needed. They couldn't actually see what was happening but seen him drop like a sack of potatoes.

Orange Order given £884,000 EU peace funds

The money will be used to help with reconciliation work


The Orange Order has been given a European Union grant of £884,000 to address the legacy of the Troubles in the Protestant community.

The money will fund a project aimed at marginalised Protestants living on the border or in interface areas across Ireland.

Seven staff will work on the Stepping Towards Reconciliation in Positive Engagement (Stripe) project .

It will be based at Brownlow House in Lurgan.

Drew Nelson, chairman of the Orange Community Network, welcomed the EU support.

"The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland believes there is an imbalance of weak community infrastructure, low confidence and low levels of participation within the Protestant community, particularly in interface and border areas in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland," he said.

"Grand Lodge also believes the Protestant community in interface and borders areas has suffered disproportionately during the Troubles.

"This project is about capacity building in the Protestant community and we greatly appreciate the support of the Special EU Programmes Body. An exciting part of the project will be identifying young leaders, building their capacity and developing their skills so that they can play a full role in shaping society."

William McKeown, grand treasurer, said it was "an unparalleled opportunity" to enhance confidence and enable the Protestant community to be part of meaningful cross-community and cross-border strategies aimed at building peace.

The money will come from the European Union's Peace III Programme.

"The ultimate aim is to allow the Protestant communities to become more comfortable in themselves and feel able to move forward with inter-community and cross border reconciliation," Mr McKeown said

A New Zealand woman's two-gallons-a-day Coca-Cola habit probably contributed to her death, experts have said.

Natasha Harris, a 30-year-old mother of eight, from Invercargill, died of a heart attack in 2010.

Fairfax Media said a pathologist has now said she probably suffered from hypokalemia, or low potassium, which was caused by excessive consumption of Coke and overall poor nutrition.

Ms Harris's partner said she drank up to 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of regular Coke every day. He also said she ate little and smoked about 30 cigarettes a day.

The coroner's office is compiling a final report on Ms Harris' death.

A spokeswoman for the soft-drinks giant said its products are safe and pointed out that even water can be deadly in excessive amounts

The coroner's office is compiling a final report on Ms Harris' death.

A spokeswoman for the soft-drinks giant said its products are safe and pointed out that even water can be deadly in excessive amounts

So can air. I heard of a boy went through 2,000m of it in a couple of seconds and it killed him.

A New Zealand woman's two-gallons-a-day Coca-Cola habit probably contributed to her death, experts have said.

Natasha Harris, a 30-year-old mother of eight, from Invercargill, died of a heart attack in 2010.

Water, just like any other substance, can be considered a poison when over-consumed in a specific period of time. Water intoxication mostly occurs when water is being consumed at a high quantity without giving the body its proper nutrients it needs to be healthy

I read this last year

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2011/0601/1224298206448.html
and got the book 2 weeks ago

Essentially the Irish state abandoned Moyross and Southhill and over 30 years a parallel society developed run according to the rules of prison.  Controlling a drugs cashflow of EUR 30 million per year a couple of families created a living hell for approx 3,000 people who sociologist Niamh hourigan calls "the disadvantaged of the disadvantaged". And a whole culture developed in parallel to the regular culture of Limerick. People living under the spell of the drugs culture in Moyross lived in an atmosphere of extreme  trauma - and it was only when 2 kids were almost burnt to death in a car by 3 teenagers from the other culture that the State did anything.

and it will cost EUR 3bn to fix.

Who the f**k  let that happen ?

MAJUMDER: COURT CLERK TRAWLED PORN SITES DURING RAPE TRIAL

CENTRAL LONDON; HARRINGAY, NORTH LONDON

A 'bored' court clerk who was caught watching porn by a judge during a rape trial has been spared jail.

Debasish Majumder, 54, sat casually viewing explicit online material while a sex attack victim gave evidence at Inner London Crown Court.

Judge Nigel Seed QC, sitting directly behind Majumder, spotted his clerk viewing what looked like cartoon images of farmyard animals but could not make out if the content was sexual.

Later, he was shocked to find a list of pornographic websites on Majumder's computer and decided enough was enough.

Man (64) in dock over lewd act with horse allegation

Monday April 30 2012
A 64-YEAR-OLD man accused of indecent behaviour with a horse has asked for a field belonging to a riding school to be examined as part of his defence.

Robert McLaughlin, of Sunnyside Drive in Maghera, is pleading not guilty to a charge of committing a lewd act by behaving in an indecent manner with a horse.

When the case was mentioned at Derry Crown Court, the court was told that council members of a horse riding club in Co Derry are to consider a legal request to have a field inspected by representatives of the defendant.

McLaughlin, who was arraigned at the Crown Court earlier this month, denies the charge of indecent behaviour with a horse on May 11 last year.

He is currently on bail awaiting his two-day trial which is due to start on May 30.

The case was mentioned by a prosecution barrister on Friday.

The case is to be mentioned again before Judge Piers Grant next Monday.

Man sues BMW, alleging motorcycle seat gave him two-year erection
.
..
.
.

(AP/Michel Euler)Commercials for erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis end with a warning that an individual should contact their doctor if they have an erection that lasts for more than four hours.

After 20 months, Henry Wolf decided to contact a lawyer instead, claiming that the seat on his BMW motorcycle gave him an erection lasting nearly two years. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Wolf filed a lawsuit against BMW North American and Corbin-Pacific claiming that the "ridged seat" on his 1993 motorcycle left him with mental and emotional anguish after allegedly causing an extreme case of priapism, also known as a long-lasting erection.

Wolf "has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride," attorney Vernon Bradley of Sausalito wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco last Thursday. "He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."

Bradley said the alleged case of priapism began after Wolf took a four-hour ride on his motorcycle.

As those erectile dysfunction commercials so regularly note, priapism can technically be onset after just four hours and is generally considered an emergency medical condition. The condition is named after the Greek fertility god Priapus, who is commonly depicted as having an unusually large erection.

According to USA Today, Wolf is seeking monetary damages for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage."



The All About Bikes blog notes that there have been several instances alleging erectile dysfunction as a result of narrow motorcycle seats but that this appears to be the first case where a medical condition with the exact opposite effect has been alleged.

Florida radio station WWJ Newsradio 950 spoke with Michigan Institute of Urology's Dr. Michael Luts who said there is "no medical data" to support Wolf's claim, again citing the evidence that riding a motorcycle for an extended period of time typically works against the body's ability to achieve sexual arousal.

"It's been long-known that compression of the neurovascular supply to the penis - if it's compressed for a period of time, whether it be on a bicycle seat or some other device - it can actually cause prolonged numbness of the genitalia," Lutz told the station.

According to a physio I know this is a well known condition in the cycling community.

He was once asked to help out at the Dublin/Belfast maracycle a good few years ago and doing a bit of research on common cycling injuries came across this one. Prolonged sitting on the narrow seat causes whatever valve used for hard ons thats between the arse pipe and scrote to swell and cause prolonged hard ons.
The only cure is ice and massage.

He was panicking in case he was asked to treat such as case.

"No, you cant", he says and gives me a big wink! "WTF", I think, backing away. (I think in vulgar acronyms.) "I have a special coin", he says, winking again as he sticks the plug yoke into the coin slot, pulls out the coin and holds it up. "It's an old 2p", he says. "There's a handy trick for you, now", he says, winking again over his shoulder as he walks off.

"Great idea", I say. The funny thing is, that's what I actually thought, for a few seconds.

A mother from New Jersey has been arrested after reportedly taking her 5-year-old daughter to the tanning salon.

Police authorities believe that the young girl was burnt by the tanning booth's UV rays.

However, Rich Krentcil, the girl's father, has said that there has been a misunderstanding, and that a school teacher inaccurately heard that she "went tanning with Mommy".

Shocked mother Patricia Krentcil alleges that her daughter was instead sunburnt when she was playing outside on a hot day.

MSNBC explains: "In New Jersey, children under 14 are not allowed to tan at indoor salons, while those 14 to 17 years old may do so with signed parental consent."

Patricia Krentcil added that she had brought her daughter to the tanning salon in the past, but that the 5-year-old didn't receive a tanning treatment herself.

Speaking to a local television station, she said: "I tan, she doesn't tan. I'm in the booth, she's in the room. That's all there is to it."

The 44-year-old mother has since pleaded not guilty to second-degree child endangerment, and was released on $25,000 bail on Tuesday (May 1).

Agreed.  It should be on a thread called Things that make you go WOW.  Pretty awe inspiring.  Fair play to the other participants who gave their medals so she could have one.

The "What the F**k" aspect of this story was that the organisers of the London Marathon were not going to give her a medal for finising the course because she didn't do it in 24 hours.

Catholic school in US refuses to play in baseball final because of girl on opposing team

AN Arizona Catholic high school has forfeited an opportunity to play in a baseball final, as the rival team fielded a girl on second base.

Our Lady of Sorrows, a fundamentalist Catholic school in Phoenix, chose to forfeit the championship final rather than play against Mesa Preparatory Academy, because the school has a 15-year-old girl Paige Sultzbach on their team.

Paige had set out two games already against Our Lady of Sorrows out of defence to the school's opposition to coeducational sports – but she dreamed of playing the championship game, and was included on the team sheet by the school's coach for the final.

Our Lady of Sorrows explained their stance to the local news station: "Our school aims to instil in our boys a profound respect for women and girls. Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty."

However Paige's mother Pamela hit out at the Catholic school's boycott: "This is not a contact sport, it shouldn't be an issue. It wasn't that they were afraid they were going to hurt or injure her, it's that they believe that a girl's place is not on a field."

The athletic director of Mesa Prep Amy Arnold who have now won the championship by default commented :"I respect their views, but it's a bit out of the 18th century." The coach said she was angry that her team did not get to compete in the final: "What true athlete would want to win or lose a championship game by forfeit?"

According to Fox news reports Our Lady of Sorrows is affiliated with the U.S. branch of the Society of Saint Pius X, a traditionalist group of Catholics that grew out of opposition to the second Vatican council.

"If you look at peak precious metals, there are some that will be gone in the next 30 or 40 years," said Eric Anderson, co-founder. "An asteroid 50 metres in diameter could contain $50bn of platinum at current market prices."

"There are 1500 near-earth asteroids that are easier to reach than the surface of the moon," he added.

Planetary Resources plans to launch its first exploratory vehicles within two years but declined to give a timeframe for the return of precious metals to earth.

However, the company was more specific about its plans to mine water, which Mr Anderson said would help other missions explore deeper space. The company aims to have its "orbital propellant depot" – a kind of space petrol station – operational by 2020, with the aim of providing fuel or natural gas to vehicles exploring space.

Post by: ludermor on May 28, 2012, 12:56:07 PM
http://www.independent.ie/world-news/americas/naked-man-shot-dead-while-eating-another-mans-face-3121911.html
A US police officer fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp, police and witnesses said.

The Miami Herald reports that gunshots were heard at about 2 PM on Saturday on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, which is near the newspaper's offices.

Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon a naked man mauling the other man.

The newspaper quoted witnesses as saying that the officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he ignored the demand, the officer shot him.

Witnesses said that the naked man continued his attack after being shot once, and the officer shot him several more times.

Police said the other man was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center. The newspaper said he had suffered critical injuries.

The police department confirmed in a news release that there was an officer-related shooting, but did not include many details provided by witnesses to the newspaper.

A police spokesman couldn't be reached for comment.

The police news release said the identities of the two men were not known.

A photograph posted on The Herald's website shows an officer standing watch on the ramp next to two police cruisers, with a body lying on a pedestrian walkway. Police requested the newspaper's video surveillance tapes.

The shooting and investigation tied up causeway traffic as crowds were arriving at South Beach for an annual hip-hop festival.

Javier Ortiz, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police in Miami, said that based on information he's received, the officer who fired the shots "is a hero and saved a life

MPs to investigate deputy children's commissioner's claims

It was time to "lay aside denial" about child abuse, MPs were told

MPs are to investigate the sexual exploitation of children, after an expert warned abuse was taking place "all over the country".

England's Deputy Children's Commissioner Sue Berelowitz said girls as young as 11 were being expected to perform sex acts on "line-ups of boys".

It was quite common for girls to be lured in by internet chat rooms and raped, she added.

The Commons Home Affairs Committee promised an inquiry into the claims.

It had already been investigating the child protection failings seen in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, where nine Asian men were convicted last month of sexually abusing white girls in the area. They had plied girls as young as 13 with drink and drugs.

But Ms Berelowitz said all communities and ethnic groups were affected by sexual abuse, citing cases in Derby, Rotherham, Birmingham and Dewsbury that she had heard about during her research for a report due out in September.

The committee's chairman, Labour MP Keith Vaz, said that, given this evidence, its investigation should be widened to look at the national picture.

Ms Berelowitz said: "What I am uncovering is that sexual exploitation of children is happening all over the country.
Pornography on mobile phones has definitely affected children's thresholds of what they think is normal"
"As one police officer who was the lead in a very big investigation in a very lovely, leafy, rural part of the country said to me: 'There isn't a town, village or hamlet in which children are not being sexually exploited.' The evidence that has come to the fore during the course of my inquiry is that that, unfortunately, appears to be the case.

"We should start from the assumption that children are being sexually exploited right the way across the country.

"In urban, rural and metropolitan areas, I have hard evidence of children being sexually exploited. That is part of what is going on in some parts of our country. It is very sadistic. It is very violent. It is very ugly."

In parts of London, Ms Berelowitz said, "children expect to have to perform oral sex on line-ups of boys, up to two hours at a time, from the age of 11".

It was "quite common" for girls to be lured via internet chat rooms to meet a friend, only to be met by a group of boys and gang raped in a park.

"Then another group of boys come, they take her to another part of the park and she is serially raped again," she said.

"I wish I could say to you that such things are uncommon but I'm afraid they are quite common."

'Summoned'
The deputy commissioner told the MPs that "what is being done is so terrible that people need to lay aside their denial" or risk victims being disbelieved.

Victims numbered in the "thousands" rather than "hundreds".

Young people were often acting out scenes they had seen in online pornography, she added.

In one case, boys aged 14 and 15 were "summoned" via Blackberry Messenger to the gang rape of a "very, very young girl" which lasted several days.

"Boys were being called while some were raping the girl to say 'Come, come, come, you can join in too' and they were arriving and elbowing each other out of the way to rape her."

In another case, older men were using young male gang members as a "front line" in a wider abuse network, and had even forced two of the boys to have sex and filmed it on a mobile phone to ensure their compliance.

Ms Berelowitz said: "Parents may think they can control what's going on because they can have a blockage on the computer, but the reality is children can get anything they like on their mobile phones. And they are.

"It has definitely affected children's thresholds of what they think is normal."

A WOMAN who refused to go to bed with her ex-husband found him having sex with her DOG soon afterwards, a jury heard today. Related Stories
Man jailed for sex with pet dog
TWISTED man is jailed after pleading guilty to performing sex acts on his pet dog
Naked Nicholas Saunders whistled Sasha the bull mastiff to his ex-wife's bedroom, it was said.

Stunned Kelly Thacker, who had gone downstairs to sleep, told police she opened the door to the shocking scene.

Prosecuting, Frank Abbott said Ms Thacker "found it difficult to believe" when she saw Saunders "clearly trying" to have intercourse with Sasha.

Mr Abbott said: "Ms Thacker just couldn't believe what she was seeing to start off with so she looked away and then looked again."

Shocked Ms Thacker told 46-year-old Saunders "in no uncertain terms" to leave her house, Mr Abbott told Gloucester Crown Court.

The dad-of-two later agreed to have a swab taken - and dog DNA was found by a forensic scientist, the court heard.

Mr Abbott said Saunders had gone to see his ex-wife - they married in 1999 and separated three years later - after being kicked out by his girlfriend.


She agreed to let him stay the night in her bedroom - but made it plain she would not be having sex with him and would be sleeping downstairs.

They chatted for half an hour before going upstairs to her bedroom where she sat on the bed as he got undressed and got in it.

The dog turned up and Saunders said to it: "You've just ruined my chances", said Mr Abbott.

He added: "You may think that he had rather hoped to have sex with his ex-wife, and the dog getting on the bed had got in the way."

Later Ms Thacker heard Saunders whistling the dog to go upstairs. She followed it up - and then saw her husband having sex with Sasha, said Mr Abbott.

The prosecutor said when Saunders was arrested he told cops the dog had got on the bed when he was naked and woken him up by licking his face.

He denied any indecent act had occurred but refused to make any further comment. The prosecutor said the jury would be hearing from forensic scientists for both the prosecution and defence.

He added: "It is not only something unusual but it is also something which you might find repulsive.

"It is something which of course is wrong and criminal to all right-thinking people."

Saunders, of Lechlade, Gloucestershire has pleaded not guilty to having intercourse with an animal.

Trial continues.

SCOOTER  NUTTER

A few years ago I was driving along a main road when I saw something that made me go "What the f@@k" instantly.

There in the hard shoulder doing about 20mph was a guy on a yellow scooter. Whats strange about that say you all ? Nothing, except he had a knapsack on his back with a level, and a saw and few more tools in it. So what says you again. Well, add into that the fact that he had a wheelbarrow somehow strapped across his back also. Okay I thought maybe I am still asleep or something.

Amazing says you but hang on thats only the half of it. Somehow wedged between the wheelbarrow and his back was ........................ a f%%king ladder. The 8ft variety. Mother of god I thought to myself.

The worst thing of all was that it was the only time the f**king camera wasnt in the car.

It was the start of the downturn so I said christ the poor B£stard has had his 4X4 repossessed. Despite the complete lunacy of it all I had quite a bit of admiration for his desire to get to work. It was about 10.30 am so obviously the 4x4 was more suitable for many reasons.

Note sure if he's still alive. Saw him one more time after that but he's surely deceased by now.

Classic and not a word of a lie.

If the OO say that they have no control over these bonfires, then how come the local council is organised to come clean up the mess? And the Road Service have to come and re-tarmac the the roads.

Still, I remember one female Stormont minister saying that bonfires are great because they give young folk something to do. That lady has disappeared from the scene. I wonder why?

Was coming back from work in Lisburn yesterday (recently moved to Loughmacrory) over the Inishative road between Galbally and Carrickmore at about half one. Decided to pull over and have a sandwich and read through the paper. As there were no suitable lay-bys I turned onto the first side road I came across and pulled over in the first lay-by I came to.

So anyway I ate my lunch and was reading through the paper when after about half an hour I heard the sound of cars approaching very quick. All of a sudden two cars came over the crest of a small hill and skidded in front of my car. It was fecking two car loads of police! Two jumped out with machine guns drawn pointing at me and one approached my car. Needless to say I nearly sh*t the togs. So he asks me who I was, what I was doing there, where am I from, where was I going, show him ID. I explained the craic that I was taking it easy coming home from work, having a bit of lunch and  reading the paper at the first spot I found to pull over.

All he said was there was a spate of robberies against elderly people in the area (yeah right!) and that's why I was questioned. Without any hint of an apology for the OTT 'hold 'em up' routine they hopped in the car and took off like the hammers of hell. Leaving me choking on my crumbs, heading for home and a clean pair of boxers!

Attila Ban guilty of murdering Heathrow hotel colleagues

A Heathrow airport hotel receptionist who hid in a bed for two days after killing two of his colleagues has been found guilty of their murder.

Attila Ban, 32, stabbed to death Tibor Vass and Alice Adams in the Radisson Edwardian Hotel's staff accommodation last August, the Old Bailey heard.

Ban evaded police, investigators and a pathologist by climbing into a divan bed, which Mr Vass's body was lying on.

Miss Adams had been stabbed 22 times. All three had worked at the hotel.

Ban had denied murder but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Mr Vass, a student from Hungary, had been due to return home.

The court heard that Ban, who is also Hungarian, had developed a crush on Mr Vass and was devastated when he found out that he was due to leave. Mr Vass was heterosexual and did not return his feelings.

Miss Adams, of Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, had only been working at the hotel for three weeks. She was described as popular and fun-loving.

Ban was described as cold and manipulative by Det Insp John Finch who said Ban was obsessed with Mr Vass and may have thought: "If I can't have him, no-one can."

Police were called after Ban, who had climbed into the bed with his mobile phone and a bottle of water, updated his Facebook page, saying "I would like to wake up from this nightmare", and all three failed to turn up for work.

Of Ban hiding in the bed, prosecutor Richard Whittam, QC, said: "He must have been there throughout the attendance of the pathologist, the removal of the bodies and the examination of the scene by crime scene examiners.


Ban hid in a divan bed for two days "He had the presence of mind to have concealed himself effectively and to remain undetected throughout the time they were on the premises."

The court heard that Ban, who was voted employee of the year on feedback forms from customers, had also cut a small slit in the side of the mattress so he could see what was happening.

After the bodies were moved, he crawled out from the bed and cut his wrists and neck in an unsuccessful suicide bid before he was found.

Speaking outside the court, Mr Finch said police had not been negligent for not looking under the bed.

"I have looked back at this several times with senior management. It was such a strange and bizarre thing for a person to do. It beggars belief."

He said crime scene examiners would lose crucial forensic evidence if they lifted up beds looking for people who were not there.

He added: "I would not want anyone to do anything differently in the future."

Miss Adams was found on the living-room floor with a cushion over her face like a "discarded rag doll" while Tibor was killed on a sofa and carried into the bedroom, where he was carefully laid on one of the two beds in the room.


Ban cut a slit into the bed so that he could monitor the investigation outside The bodies had been the last things to be moved after the forensic work was completed.
It is not known why he killed Miss Adams.

Speaking in court, Miss Adams' mother Sara read out an impact statement which said: "My heart is broken. My life will always be tinged with sadness."

She added: "The most difficult thing to cope with is not knowing exactly what happened to my lovely Alice that night.

"Horrific as it would be to hear, the truth would be preferable to the constant struggle going on in my mind of trying to figure out the sequence of events leading up to Alice's murder."

Rozalia Vass said of her son: "It was impossible and devastating to believe something like this could happen.

"Previously, it was comforting for me to know that Tibor found a good friend in London who was mature, friendly and intelligent.

"His friend promised me personally to look after my son and not to let anything happen to him.

"I trusted him and regarded him as my own child."

While suppose to be funny and they all have a laugh at it in the end, how they get there is pretty depressing. In short its an egyptian candid camera show that has set up celebs to discuss Isreal on pretence they on a German show, it then becomes clear its actually an Isreal TV show and they blow a fuse before the true nature of the show is revealed and they all laugh about it.

Shocking really.

An Irish woman inadvertently discovered the truth about her future husband's night of debauchery, after she took to Facebook to complain about the hotel service he received during his bachelor party.

After her fiancé returned from his stag party at Treacy's Hotel Waterford, future wife 'Celina' took to the hotel's Facebook page to complain about the group's booking deposit being withheld.

She posted the following complaint to the hotel's Facebook page which has over 5,000 fans: "My partner of 10 yrs had his stag do in waterford last nite at dis hotel 17 men went dwn 1,120€ which was paid b4 arrival...wen d arrived ystrdy dis hotel asked dem 2 pay anoda 50e 4 a overnite deposit which d were guarnteed 2 gt bk nxt morn...d didnt gt netin dat was ment to b include in dere package...no finger food no round of shots no breakfast no deposit bk i think dis hotel was trying to earn some easy cash ,im going ta go on evry radio station nd get all dem boys to gv dere comment nd let evry tourist i know from my job all about dis sceeming hotel ...700€ is alot of money 2day smalls claim court i think...."

The hotel posted the following response to the accusations on their page: "I would not like to disgrace people on the internet so if you could so kindly send me your phone number in a private email I will let you know the facts of the night," wrote a poster from Treacys. "Then I am sure you will remove these comments".

Later, after seemingly no response from "Celina" the hotel decided to clear their name on Facebook and disclose the true reasons why no deposits were returned to the group.

The events of the night included a "lady" being brought back to their hotel room, the group setting off a smoke alarm at 1:00am, noise complaints from other customers at 6:30 am and an incident whereby a "member of the party jumped the reception counter to physically hurt a member of staff."

The hotel added: "We have footage of all the night's events."

Does anyone else develop a sense of "somethings not quite right here" or "theres more to this story than we're being told" when you see these mass media campaigns when people go missing? It's obviously (to me anyway) a tactic the police use to smoke out the perpetrator by observing the reactions to the campaign of relations/friends and those who live close by.

A FATHER of three who had sex with his ex-wife's bull mastiff dog was spared a prison sentence today.

Nicholas Saunders, 46, was caught in bed with Sasha by Kelly Thacker, mother of two of his children.

Saunders, of Lechlade, Gloucestershire, was convicted by a jury at Gloucester Crown Court in June of having intercourse with an animal.

Today the court heard that Saunders continues to deny his guilt.

Recorder Stewart Patterson sentenced Saunders to a two-year community order, placed him on the sex offenders register for five years and ordered him to attend a sex offenders' treatment programme.

He told Saunders: "On January 15 2011 you had a row with your partner and as a result of that you went to visit your ex-partner of some considerable years.

"Having visited her, you took to her bed while she was downstairs.

"Ms Thacker was not asleep and she heard you summoning the dog, a bull mastiff, to the bedroom.

"She then went to see what was happening and she saw what you were doing.

"You were performing an act of penetration of the dog's vagina with your penis."

The judge added: "It is quite clear your behaviour that night demonstrates a distorted sexualised thinking which needs to be addressed by you.

"Although you continue to deny the incident, I am heartened to see you are fully prepared to work with the Probation Service to address these issues."

Saunders was also made the subject of a restraining order for four years, which bans him from any property where Ms Thacker and her children live unless he gets a court order or written permission from his ex-wife.

Ms Thacker told the court of her shock at discovering her ex-husband having intercourse with the family pet.

During the two-day trial in June, Ms Thacker, who has teenage twin girls with Saunders, told the court she rejected her ex-husband's advances towards her after he had a fight with his bipolar girlfriend and sought comfort at her home.

It was soon afterwards that she found him having sex with Sasha.

The jury was told Saunders, a fencing contractor, and his ex-wife remained on good terms following their separation 13 years ago. Saunders went to her house at around 1.45am.

The prosecution said he was looking for more than just comfort that night and when Ms Thacker made clear to him that he did not have a chance with her, he turned to the large female dog.

Giving evidence, Ms Thacker, who owns a male boxer as well as the bull mastiff, said Saunders told the dog "You've just ruined my chances" when it jumped on to the bed between herself and her ex-husband.

She told the court she took this to mean he had wanted to have sex with her.

After going downstairs, she heard her ex-husband whistle to the dogs, calling them to come upstairs.

A little while later she went to check on Saunders, who she said had been "a little bit drunk".

But when she got halfway up the stairs she looked through the banisters and saw something that left her in shock.

"It was just too quiet, whereas he'd been mumbling before, so I thought I would just go and check," she said.

"I didn't go all the way up, just halfway to the top banister. The bull mastiff was leant on her side and he (Saunders) was trying to guide his penis into her.

"I think I must have hit some kind of shock and I hid back a bit. I then looked round again.

"He was on all fours holding her thighs. He was having intercourse with her. She wasn't even moving."

Ms Thacker added: "It was just utter shock, you don't think anything like this could happen."

Saunders denied the charge and claimed his ex-wife had seen him merely "climbing over the dog" to get out of bed to use the toilet.

He told the court it was he who spurned Ms Thacker's advances that night and claimed he merely "tolerated" his ex-wife for the sake of their children.

He claimed it was because he had not wanted to sleep with her that she made up the allegation against him.

"The allegation is a total lie," he told jurors.

But the jury did not believe him and unanimously convicted him of the charge.

Following his arrest, Saunders was asked to provide an "intimate sample" from his penis which, following forensic examinations, showed a 100pc match to the DNA of a domestic dog.

Frank Abbott, prosecuting, said it would have been an "incredible coincidence" that DNA was found on a "fairly inaccessible" part of Saunders, backing up what Ms Thacker told the court she had seen.

Mr Abbott told the court the case had caused "a considerable degree of distress" to Saunders' ex-wife and their daughters.

•   A Mysterious Lady Wakes Up Dead
•   Irish speaking PSNI officer stuns bigot

But the line in the promo about the restaurant near cracked me up. It was as follows:

"Famous with GAA fans, this Family owned business attracts 1000's during the football season in the hope that they might meet a member of the Mc Enaney Family."

•   Prince Harry 'naked for long time'
•   Killer footballer used two knives
•   A Mysterious Lady Wakes Up Dead
•   Irish speaking PSNI officer stuns bigot
and the most far-fetched of all:
•   Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic to win US Open

I'm saving reading about "Irish speaking PSNI officer stuns bigot" as a little treat for myself later on.

Saw these two articles when I clicked the link

New York inmates sue over dental floss
Prison officials say dental floss is banned because it can be used as a weapon Eleven inmates in a suburban New York jail have sued their prison for $500m (£300m) and access to dental floss, saying they are losing their teeth.

In a civil rights lawsuit filed on 10 September, the inmates say they are suffering cavities and pain because they are unable to floss.

Deputy Correction Commissioner Justin Pruyne defended the ban, saying the floss can potentially be used a weapon.

Santiago Gomez, the lead plaintiff, says other jails permit flossing.

The inmates at the Westchester county jail in Valhalla say without floss they develop cavities and bleeding gums, despite brushing their teeth three times a day. They also say they need constant dental work for temporary fillings because they are denied crowns and root canals.

Mr Pruyne said staff were exploring if there were products "which would be appropriate in a custodial situation... maybe some sort of floss that breaks easily" but that "staff and inmate safety come first

A farmer in the US has apparently been eaten by his pigs.

Terry Garner, 70, never returned after he set out to feed his animals on his farm near the Oregon coast.

A family member later found his dentures and pieces of his body in the pig enclosure, but most of his remains had been consumed.

The district attorney's office said it was possible Mr Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals before he was killed. But criminal activity has not been ruled out.

Authorities estimate the pigs weigh around 50 stones each. One had either bitten or been aggressive with Mr Garner previously.

It's not uncommon for pigs to consume a weaker pig with a flesh wound, have seen it first hand, I remember a pig that must have cut its face and then the rest set upon devouring one side of his face down to the bare bone whilst he was still alive. The behaivour is believed to be an idiopathy due to the un-enriched environment the pigs are kept in.

£50 for throwing apple core out the window

Heard him on radio earlier. Cost him £244 in total. He's a teacher who tried to be smart arse saying he was throwing organic matter into the hedge to feed insects etc.
He forgot the principal fact however that he was littering from his car. Judge felt he wasted court time contesting it. Fined him £150 and court costs.

I fully sympathise with him. The apple core would probably feed a small family of robins for a weekend. I hate littering but I would throw an apple core out for the exact same reason as Mr Falls did.

Where do you draw the line with this, what about a farmer, or a Council worker, who cuts roadside hedges and verges leaves the cuttings on the road, or a farmer who fouls the road with muck from his slurry tanker

jeez dont start the slurry war again!

Would also fire apple cores into the hedge. If it is organic matter and goes into a hedgerow it isnt exactly annoying someone. Every Sunday on the way for the papers there are bags of chippy wrappers etc fired along the rpad. These cnuts ARE littering imo.

Is the problem not that he was throwing something, "litter", from the car? Hope it was. I do tend to leave banana skins, apple cores etc. under hedges/ditches myself when out walking in the countryside, assuming it's OK as it biodegradable, am I wrong? Would never throw anything from a moving vehicle though, always thought it dangerous in any event.

Man dies after winning cockroach-eating contest

THE winner of a cockroach-eating contest in Florida has died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said.

About 30 contestants ate the insects during a contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement.

He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities are waiting for results of a port-mortem examination to determine a cause of death.

None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff's office said.

"We feel terribly awful," said store owner Ben Siegel, who added that Mr Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest.

"He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice," Mr Siegel said, adding that Archbold was "the life of the party".

Mr Siegel added that Archbold was selling the exotic prize to a friend who took him to the contest.

A statement from Mr Siegel's lawyer said all the participants signed waivers "accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest".

The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects "that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles".

Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, said he had never heard of someone dying after eating cockroaches.

"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," he said.

"Some people do have allergies to roaches, but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."

Wow - this is scary. They've jailed six geophysicists/other scientists in Italy for getting their predictions wrong about the L'Alquila earthquake. They are accused of giving a "falsely reassuring statement" about the likelihood of a major earthquake. It appears, however, that the substance of the statement was to the effect that a series of small tremors did not necessarily mean there was a big earthquake coming. That is undoubtedly true. That fact that a big earthquake did come does not mean that assessment was wrong and to interpret it as negligence seems to betray a major misunderstanding of the concepts of risk and probability. It's almost mediaeval.

Poor ould Michael Fish must be relieved he didn't live in Italy in 1987.

Nearly £3m is coming Europe's Peace Three programme with £1m jointly coming from the Dublin government and the Stormont Executive.

The money will be used to expand the Order's headquarters at Schomberg House and Sloan's House, Loughgall.

The extension of Schomberg House will incorporate a museum, including a replica Orange Hall.

Sloan's House, where the first Orange warrants were signed 200 years ago, will include an extension for an extra museum exhibition area.

The Orange Order said Schomberg House would also incorporate a research facility and educational resource, with "access for school and cross-community focused visits".

Its museum is expected to display a variety of artefacts relating to the history of Orangeism around the world.

The Order said five full-time staff would eventually be appointed to work at both sites, which are planned to be operational by the summer of 2014.

The Reach project (Reaching out through Education and Cultural Heritage) received £3.6m from the European Union's Peace III Programme, which is managed by the Special EU Programmes Body.

Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, Edward Stevenson, said it was "one of the most significant projects ever undertaken by the institution".

He said: "The aim of this transformational project is to create understanding, education, tolerance and mutual respect through interpretation and creation of shared space.

"The creation of two unique educational and resource centres will tell the story of the foundation of the institution as well as its traditions, development and place in wider society.

"Such world-class developments at both Schomberg House and Sloan's House will also preserve and present the impressive historical collections of the Orange Order in a form that will encourage an informative and engaging learning process."

Pat Colgan, chief executive of the Special EU Programmes Body, said the project would "promote a greater awareness of the history and traditions of the Orange Order".

"By pro-actively reaching out to people, on a cross-community basis, the Order will be able to demystify many of the existing perceptions of what it is," he said.

"This open and honest dialogue will lead to a positive understanding of Orangeism and its place within our society."

The Protestant order celebrates the 1690 Battle of the Boyne victory of William of Orange over Catholic King James II every 12 July.

Its origins date from the 17th century battle for supremacy between Protestantism and Catholicism.

In 1795, a clash between Protestants and Catholics at the Battle of the Diamond led to some of those involved to swear a new oath to uphold the Protestant faith and be loyal to the King and his heirs, giving birth to the Orange Order.

The Order regards itself as defending the civil and religious liberties of Protestants and seeks to uphold the rule and ascendancy of a Protestant monarch in the United Kingdom.

Appeal overmissing paraglidingdog

43 minutes ago

The owners of a paragliding dog have appealed for anyone who has seen him to get in touch.

The 10-year-old family pet, a collie cross-breed called Harry, was last seen at the family home in Garrymore, Craigavon, three weeks ago.

His owners Tony and Donna Conway have said they are starting to lose hope in him being found.

Mr Conway, an experienced paraglider, has taken Harry on trips over Northern Ireland in a special harness.

He straps the dog into his paraglider and takes him on tandem flights. He recently featured on the BBC going down Slieve Donard mountain in County Down.

It took about 20 minutes to glide the 2,700 feet from the top of the peak to the beach in Newcastle, County Down.

Mr Conway said the dog was once owned by his late father and he was heartbroken at the loss.

"It's not been like him to not come home and we've had a few reports of sightings, but they were other collies," he said.

"Maybe someone has found him and taken him in not realising that he was a pet, but I think that is probably unlikely because he is pretty well-known around here," he said.

The town's dog warden has been told that Harry is missing and he is also micro-chipped. When he was last seen he was wearing an orange collar with a green licence tag attached.

Mr Conway said that if anyone had seen Harry they could email him at
conwaytony@hotmail.co.uk

Paragliding dog lands back home
Harry has been found and is back home A paragliding dog missing from his home in Northern Ireland for more than three weeks has been returned to his owners.

The 10-year-old family pet, a collie cross-breed called Harry, went missing from the family home in Craigavon.

Harry became famous after owner Tony Conway took him on trips over Northern Ireland in a special harness.

Mr Conway said that he had been found near Portadown by a family of foreign nationals who saw the story of him going missing on the BBC website.

"He had been taken in by a family in Portadown," Mr Conway said.

"They saw him sitting outside a house in Moyraverty Meadows where he had been stalking a female for a few days.

"They are of foreign nationality and did not know to check with the dog warden."

Mr Conway said they have a 10-year-old son who had already renamed Harry.

"They have treated him like a king. It was very difficult to take him from them as they clearly had grown to love him. We are elated and very much in shock.

"We have agreed to get one of Harry's pups for them which were born to his friend a few days ago as a reward for their kindness."

Mr Conway is an experienced paraglider. He and Harry recently featured on the BBC going down Slieve Donard mountain in County Down.

It took about 20 minutes to glide the 2,700 feet from the top of the peak to the beach in Newcastle, County Down.

Unicorn lair 'discovered' in North Korea
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/30/unicorn-lair-discovered-north-korea

Normally, North Korea's official state news agency is the place to go for reports ranging from the reclusive totalitarian state's unparalleled scientific achievements to the limitless love which its inhabitants reserve for their successive leaders.

Yet in what appears to be a genuine world exclusive, the inimitable Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has now broken the incredible news that archaeologists in Pyongyang have discovered a unicorn's lair.

Or rather, the report says that they have "recently reconfirmed" the lair of one of the unicorns ridden by the ancient Korean King Tongmyong, founder of a kingdom which ruled parts of China and the Korean peninsula from the the 3rd century BC to 7th century AD.

The KCNA goes on to state that the location happens to be 200 metres from a temple in the North Korean capital, adding: "A rectangular rock carved with words "Unicorn Lair" stands in front of the lair."

"The carved words are believed to date back to the period of Koryo Kingdom (918-1392)," says the report.

Archaeologists from the Academy of Social Sciences at North Korea's History Institute were credited with making the discovery.

The news story comes days after eyebrows were raised by another news story relating to the state officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

On that occasion, it was the online version of China's Communist party newspaper which hailed a report by The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as the sexiest man alive – not realising it was satire.

KATHRYN HAYES

A man who arranged for a woman he met through the Internet to engage in an act of bestiality with his dog has been given a three year suspended jail term.

Seán McDonnell (58), a father of three formerly of Rathmore, Churchill Meadows, Raheen, Limerick, pleaded guilty to one count of buggery with an animal, namely a German Shepherd type dog, on October 7th 2008.

The unemployed bus driver was charged following the death of a 43-year-old woman who died hours after she had sexual intercourse with the animal.

Before imposing sentence at Limerick Circuit Court today, Judge Carroll Moran said acts of bestiality were "socially repugnant...even in these tolerant times" and described this an aggravating factor in the case.

Judge Moran said it was also "quite shocking" that a computer belonging to McDonnell showed 1.5 million hits to a bestiality website over a five month period.

Another computer seized by gardaí belonging to the deceased woman, a mother of four, revealed extensive material on pornography and bestiality, the court heard.

Evidence was given that gardaí received a call from the accused man shortly after 6.30pm on October 7th, 2008 to go to his house in Patrickswell, Co Limerick, where he was living at the time.

A woman wearing unusual clothing was found in the house in an unresponsive state and taken to the Mid Western Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead two hours later. A postmortem revealed a heart attack as a possible cause of death "but in the absence of positive findings the cause of death remained undetermined", the court heard.

Judge Moran said a DNA profile from semen swabs found in the woman's body matched that of McDonnell's dog. He said the woman went to McDonnell's house of her own will and mobile phone records showed there had been contact between the two parties. "Both were aware that the purpose of the visit to the accused house was to have sex with the dog," Judge Moran said.

Notwithstanding the "unusual circumstances" of that case, Judge Moran said he felt it right to extend his condolences to the family and friends of the deceased woman, some of whom were present in court today.

Counsel for McDonnell, Isobel Kennedy, said her client was regretful and remorseful for what happened. She said he would not have been prosecuted had the woman not died and insisted there was no form of coercion or duress involved.

Ms Kennedy said her client - who was forced to emigrate to the UK because of the publicity surrounding the case - had lost his job and his family and had sought help at the Priory Clinic. Due to financial constraints, he was availing of treatment elsewhere.

Judge Moran noted McDonnell's previous good record prior to this incident and said his guilty plea was a great relief to the relatives of the deceased woman. Had the matter been contested, it would have added to their "grief and torment", he said.

Judge Moran said the mother had engaged in bestiality of her own free well and she was not coerced by the accused, who did not anticipate the outcome.

He said McDonnell, although he was charged and pleaded guilty, was not the principal offender but had aided and abetted the crime.

Judge Moran noted McDonnell had sought immediate medical help when he saw there was a problem and did not try to alter the scene, change the woman's clothing or interfere with forensic evidence.

The judge said McDonnell already been punished and exposed to "an enormous amount of adverse publicity", and gardaí accepted he is unlikely to re-offend again.

McDonnell's name has already been added to the sex offenders register for five years.

According to the European Communities Road Haulage Regulations of 2009, he is also prohibited from holding a haulage licence on a vehicle which carries more than nine people for a period of five years.

Before imposing sentence, Judge Moran said "notwithstanding the disgusting nature of the offence", he did not think an immediate custodial sentence was appropriate.

"The woman herself was the principal offender and a willing participant and her death was not anticipated," he said.

Judge Moran imposed a three-year suspended jail sentence on condition that Mr McDonnell continues to engage in counselling.

McDonnell hugged his daughter who was present in court after the hearing.

AN Englishman has woken up after a stroke and started speaking Welsh.

Alun Morgan, 81, was evacuated to Wales during the Second World War and during his time there he never picked up the native tongue.

When he woke up from his recent stroke, his wife Yvonne was the only person who could understand him and had to translate for doctors.

Mr Morgan, from Bathwick, Bath, Somerset, said: "I don't remember anything from the time of my stroke.

"But gradually I started speaking a few words in Welsh.

"This was strange because I'd not lived in Wales since I was evacuated there during the war."

Doctors have diagnosed Mr Morgan with aphasia, a form of brain damage that causes a shift in the brain's language centre.

The most common cause of aphasia is stroke, but gunshot wounds, blows to the head, other traumatic brain injuries and brain tumours can also cause aphasia.

It can also result in a disorder known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, which causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker talks with a foreign accent.

Researchers at Oxford University have found that patients with Foreign Accent Syndrome have suffered damage to tiny areas of the brain that affect speech.

The result is often a drawing out or clipping of the vowels that mimic the accent of a particular country, such as Spain or France, even if the sufferer has limited exposure to that accent.

The syndrome was first identified during the Second World War when a Norwegian woman suffered shrapnel damage to her brain and developed a strong German accent.

This should maybe be in the Christmas thread but anyway...

Why do people have weird stuff for their Christmas dinner? Seen someone talk about steak along with their turkey! Another on twitter was going on about having lamb, with turkey and chicken... and saw a picture posted up by a certain Cross player of beans on the plate. What is the world coming to !?

I'd have done with the turkey and ham long ago, but the rest of the family won't have it. Turkey hasn't much going for it by comparison to almost any other meat, poultry, game or fish. Bland, tasteless, dry. It's an awful pity that the biggest festival of the year isn't celebrated with the best food available.

Same here Hardy, turkey is just a cheap substitute for much tastier meats such as a leg of lamb cooked Portuguese style (Maddog's recipe). The rest of the family insist on turkey and ham though and I've given up trying to convert them.

A slow cooked turkey is as tender and succulent as any other meat. I am a big fan of food and almost find it offensive to Christmas dinners that the pate be sullied with non-traditional meats.

As much as half of all the food produced in the world – equivalent to 2bn tonnes – ends up as waste every year, engineers warned in a report published on Thursday.

The UK's Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) blames the "staggering" new figures in its analysis on unnecessarily strict sell-by dates, buy-one-get-one free and Western consumer demand for cosmetically perfect food, along with "poor engineering and agricultural practices", inadequate infrastructure and poor storage facilities.

Anyone for a Horse burger?

Food safety chiefs probe horse meat in supermarket burgers


HEALTH authorities have launched an investigation after traces of horse meat were found in own-brand burgers sold by some of the country's biggest supermarkets. In a major blow to the reputation of the food industry, the meat is understood to have originated at two meat processing plants in Ireland.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has launched a major probe after horse DNA was found in beef samples. The two plants under investigation in Ireland are Liffey Meats and Silvercrest Foods. A third company based in the UK, Dalepak Hambleton, is also to be examined.

The meat had been sold to some of the country's leading supermarkets including Tesco, Dunnes , Aldi, Lidl and Iceland.

The FSAI confirmed that the investigation centres on how horsemeat entered the food chain.

But it stressed there was no risk to human health.

"It's not a food safety issue," a spokeswoman said. "There's no risk to human health but it is concerning. We're not a nation that eats horsemeat unlike the Netherlands and France."

Professor Alan Reilly, chief executive of FSAI, said: "Consumers who have purchased any of the implicated products can return them to their retailer.

"Whilst there is a plausible explanation for the presence of pig DNA in these products due to the fact that meat from different animals is processed in the same meat plants, there is no clear explanation at this time for the presence of horse DNA in products emanating from meat plants that do not use horsemeat in their production process.

"In Ireland, it is not in our culture to eat horsemeat and therefore, we do not expect to find it in a burger. Likewise, for some religious groups or people who abstain from eating pig meat, the presence of traces of pig DNA is unacceptable.

"We are working with the meat processing plants the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Marine to find out how horse DNA could have found its way into these products."

The FSAI analysed 27 beef burger products with best before dates from last June to March 2014 with 10 of the 27 products - 37% - testing positive for horse DNA and 85% testing positive for pig DNA.

Some 31 beef meal products such as cottage pie, beef curry pie and lasagne were tested with 21 found to be positive for pig DNA. All tested negative for horse meat.

Another 19 salami products were tested but showed no signs of horse DNA.

The FSAI analysis also found traces of horse DNA in batches of raw ingredients, including some imported from the Netherlands and Spain.

The DNA tests found horse in the following products: Tesco Everyday Value Beef Burgers 29.1%; Tesco Beef Quarter Pounders 0.1%; Oakhurst Beef Burgers in Aldi 0.3%; Moordale Quarter Pounders in Lidl 0.1%; Flamehouse Chargrilled Quarter Pounders in Dunnes Stores 0.1%; two varieties of Iceland Quarter Pounders 0.1%.

Even lower levels were recorded in Moordale Beef Burgers in Lidl and St Bernard Beef Burgers in Dunnes Stores.

The FSAI said its officials were working with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the processing plants and retailers involved.

Developer missing for months found starving by side of road

Thursday January 31 2013

A PROPERTY developer missing from his home for the past eight months is being treated in hospital after being found disorientated and starving at the side of a rural road.

Kevin Michael McGeever, who once traded property in Dubai, turned up after being on a garda missing list since last summer.

Mr McGeever (68) was found on a road near Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, late on Tuesday night.

Friends and relatives are said to be both "astonished" and "delighted" that he had been found.

It is understood Mr McGeever told gardai that he had been dropped off at the rural location by a van, but he was unable at this stage to recall where he had been for the past eight months since disappearing from his home in Gort.

The Mayo native had no money on him when he was found, but did have a mobile phone and a torch.

"He was covered in a plastic bag and wasn't wearing any shoes," said Leitrim county councillor Martin Kenny, who spoke with the couple who found Mr McGeever.

"He told them he had been dropped off by a number of men in a van and he had been in the van for some time. So it certainly appears that he was being held against his will, and that is what he indicated.

"Where he has been for the past months is anyone's guess, but it must be a great relief for his family."

"He was absolutely ravenous," added the councillor. "He was extremely thin and not in great shape at all.

"He didn't know where he was and had to be told he was in Leitrim."

Mr Kenny said gardai had re-visited the rural road outside Ballinamore with the couple to examine the scene where he was found.

Mr McGeever was last night receiving treatment at Mulligar Hospital.

It is understood Mr McGeever is being treated for malnutrition and dehydration. Gardai are hoping to speak to him today if he is medically fit.

During the boom, he ran a successful property business selling luxury homes in Dubai to wealthy Irish and British clients.

When he was reported missing to Gort garda station last June, an address he had been using at Brooklawn, Clontarf, Dublin, was also included in the missing person report.

Locals in Gort, Co Galway, also said they were baffled to hear of the incident.

A special bamboo that flowers once every half century across northeastern India, generating a plague of rats, is threatening famine in the region.  Over the next few months state governments in the region will be finalising plans to combat the flowering of the Melocana Baccifera bamboo - known locally as "mautam" or famine - which is spread over some 18,000 sq km.  Officials said the deadly bamboo is concentrated in Mizoram state bordering Bangladesh and Burma (Myanmar) but can also be found in the neighbouring provinces of Tripura, Manipur, Meghalaya and parts of Assam. It last bloomed in 1958 in Mizoram and the consequent famine claimed nearly 15,000 lives, triggering a guerrilla war between the native Mizo people and the government for almost two decades in which the army was widely deployed, often with disastrous consequences. The Mizo National Famine Front that emerged from the ecological disaster became the insurgent Mizo National Front that eventually signed a peace agreement with the federal authorities in the late 1980s.  According to bamboo expert Dr M P Ranjan, the flowers produce protein-rich, delicious seeds favoured by rats, causing an explosion in their population.  And after the supply of seeds is exhausted, millions of hungry rats fan out across the region, attacking scarce grain supplies wherever they can.  "The resultant famine [in 1958] was quite disastrous, and that is what is being expected this time round," Dr Ranjan warned. The British colonial administration first noticed the phenomenon of bamboo flowering in the northeast and its devastating impact on ecology. It recorded the first famine in 1862 and the second in 1881 in which around 15,000 Mizos died. The 1911-12 famine was also caused by this phenomenon, with similarly tragic results.

A woman in Brazil has been accused of poisoning her nether regions with a lethal toxin in order to off her husband.

In a case that is being dubbed 'cunning cunnilingus', a woman in Brazil will reportedly be sued by her husband, who she tried to kill by lacing her vagina with a lethal toxin and trying to convince him to perform oral sex on her.

The woman was claimed to be looking for a divorce (which she'll probably get now) and opted for the murder route after her husband refused her initial request.

It would seem the man thought the situation was getting a bit hairy when his wife got him into the bedroom and they were about to get the job done, when he noticed a strong chemical smell coming from her. Obviously things are not going well when you're suspicious of your wife taking you into the bedroom.

He rushed her to the hospital where she had tests done and her stomach pumped, at which point she confessed her fiendish plot to her husband.

Doctors said that she had applied enough toxin to kill him and herself, making a bit of a balls of the whole thing.

Anyone for a Horse burger?

Food safety chiefs probe horse meat in supermarket burgers


HEALTH authorities have launched an investigation after traces of horse meat were found in own-brand burgers sold by some of the country's biggest supermarkets. In a major blow to the reputation of the food industry, the meat is understood to have originated at two meat processing plants in Ireland.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has launched a major probe after horse DNA was found in beef samples. The two plants under investigation in Ireland are Liffey Meats and Silvercrest Foods. A third company based in the UK, Dalepak Hambleton, is also to be examined.

The meat had been sold to some of the country's leading supermarkets including Tesco, Dunnes , Aldi, Lidl and Iceland.

The FSAI confirmed that the investigation centres on how horsemeat entered the food chain.

But it stressed there was no risk to human health.

"It's not a food safety issue," a spokeswoman said. "There's no risk to human health but it is concerning. We're not a nation that eats horsemeat unlike the Netherlands and France."

Professor Alan Reilly, chief executive of FSAI, said: "Consumers who have purchased any of the implicated products can return them to their retailer.

"Whilst there is a plausible explanation for the presence of pig DNA in these products due to the fact that meat from different animals is processed in the same meat plants, there is no clear explanation at this time for the presence of horse DNA in products emanating from meat plants that do not use horsemeat in their production process.

"In Ireland, it is not in our culture to eat horsemeat and therefore, we do not expect to find it in a burger. Likewise, for some religious groups or people who abstain from eating pig meat, the presence of traces of pig DNA is unacceptable.

"We are working with the meat processing plants the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Marine to find out how horse DNA could have found its way into these products."

The FSAI analysed 27 beef burger products with best before dates from last June to March 2014 with 10 of the 27 products - 37% - testing positive for horse DNA and 85% testing positive for pig DNA.

Some 31 beef meal products such as cottage pie, beef curry pie and lasagne were tested with 21 found to be positive for pig DNA. All tested negative for horse meat.

Another 19 salami products were tested but showed no signs of horse DNA.

The FSAI analysis also found traces of horse DNA in batches of raw ingredients, including some imported from the Netherlands and Spain.

The DNA tests found horse in the following products: Tesco Everyday Value Beef Burgers 29.1%; Tesco Beef Quarter Pounders 0.1%; Oakhurst Beef Burgers in Aldi 0.3%; Moordale Quarter Pounders in Lidl 0.1%; Flamehouse Chargrilled Quarter Pounders in Dunnes Stores 0.1%; two varieties of Iceland Quarter Pounders 0.1%.

Even lower levels were recorded in Moordale Beef Burgers in Lidl and St Bernard Beef Burgers in Dunnes Stores.

The FSAI said its officials were working with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the processing plants and retailers involved.

Accused witch burned alive in Papua New Guinea
Associated Press – 25 mins ago.. .


PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) — Assailants stripped, tortured and bound a woman accused of witchcraft, then burned her alive in front of hundreds of witnesses in a Papua New Guinea town, police said Friday after one of the highest profile sorcery-related murders in this South Pacific island nation.

Some of the hundreds of bystanders took photographs of Wednesday's brutal slaying. Grisly pictures were published on the front pages of the country's biggest circulating newspapers, The National and Post-Courier. The prime minister, police and diplomats condemned the killing

Kepari Leniata, a 20-year-old who had a child, had been accused of sorcery by relatives of a 6-year-old boy who died in the hospital the day before, police spokesman Dominic Kakas said.

She was tortured with a hot iron rod, bound, doused in gasoline, then set alight on a pile of car tires and trash in the Western Highlands provincial capital of Mount Hagen, Kakas said.

Deputy Police Commissioner Simon Kauba on Friday blasted Mount Hagen investigators by phone for failing to make a single arrest, Kakas said.

The public were apparently not cooperating with police and police carrying out the investigation were not working hard enough, Kakas said.

"He was very, very disappointed that there's been no arrest made as yet," Kakas said.

"The incident happened in broad daylight in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses and yet we haven't picked up any suspects yet. He was very, very curious about that and he blasted the investigators on the phone," Kakas added.

Kakas described the victim's husband as the "prime suspect." The husband had fled the province, Kakas said. Kakas said he did not know if there were a relationship between the husband and the dead boy's family.

Sorcery has traditionally been countered by sorcery in Papuan New Guinean culture. But responses to sorcery allegations have become increasingly violent in recent years.

Kakas said the death was the first sorcery-related murder in Papua New Guinea in a year.

Police Commissioner Tom Kulunga described the murder as "shocking and devilish."

"We are in the 21st century and this is totally unacceptable," Commissioner Kulunga said in a statement.

He suggested courts be established to deal with sorcery allegations, as an alternative to villagers dispensing justice.

Prime Minister Pete O'Neill said he had instructed police to use all available manpower to bring the killers to justice.

"It is reprehensible that women, the old and the weak in our society should be targeted for alleged sorcery or wrongs that they actually have nothing to do with," O'Neill said.

The U.S. Embassy in the national capital Port Moresby issued a statement calling for a sustained international partnership to enhance anti-gender-based violence laws throughout the Pacific.

The embassy of Australia, Papua New Guinea's colonial ruler until independence in 1975 and now its biggest foreign aid donor, said "We join ... all reasonable Papua New Guineans in looking forward to the perpetrators being brought to justice."

Yeah I was reading that and it's terrible. It would be such a relatively tiny expense for the US government to cover the costs of alternative family planning for all the victims. Psychologically it must be the worst injury for any man to have to deal with.

There was an ad during the Superbowl about wounded soldiers "Remember our wounded heroes without whom there wouldn't be any Superbowl". Apart from the fact that it seems like a wild exaggeration I was wondering if the Government paid for it ($4 million per 30 seconds is the rate) and wouldn't they be better off spending their money on welfare for the wounded instead. Either way paying for these treatments is the least they could do.

The government don't pay the same as other entities, they pay  the lowest rate offered for the event throughout the year for the superbowl.

The same in politics, the system in the states is mad altogether, TV stations jack the rates up when they know there are going to be elections and what happens is that the local business that is with the station all year gets preempted and priced out of it, the politicians then come in at the lowest offered rate and they hijack the airwaves, in fact all aspects of the media.

The media have, by law to take political money first, it would sicken you the amount of campaign ads that run for month after month, it is a disgrace what they spend.

The unofficial spokesman for the calorie and fat-laden Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas has died — of a heart attack.

John Alleman (52) was the second unpaid mascot to die in the past two years.

He collapsed while waiting at a bus stop in front of the diner last week and was taken off life support on Monday.

The medically themed diner is famous for its huge hamburgers, extra-fat milkshakes and chips cooked in lard. It uses the tagline: "Taste worth dying for."

Owner Jon Basso said that Mr Alleman went to the restaurant daily and encouraged passing tourists to try its offerings.

"He never missed a day, even on Christmas," Mr Basso said. "People just loved him. He connected with people in a real way."

Mr Alleman became an unofficial mascot for the restaurant, which features waitresses dressed in nurse uniforms. His caricature as "patient John" graced its merchandise and menus.

In 2011, another unofficial spokesman, 41-stone Blair River, died aged 29. At the time, friends said pneumonia may have been the cause of death.

In 2012, a man in his 40s was hospitalised after he began sweating and shaking while eating a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass burger at the restaurant.

The ominously named diner features tongue-in-cheek health warnings and casts customers as patients. Eaters are given surgical gowns as they choose from a calorifically extravagant menu.

Mr Basso said Alleman weighed about 13 stones and his death showed heart attacks can happen to anyone

A processing plant in Co Tipperary has been shut down after inspectors found it was exporting horse meat under a label in the Czech language which translated as beef.

B&F Meats, a small-scale deboning factory in Carrick-on-Suir was selling a mislabelled product to a customer in the Czech Republic through a trader based in the UK.

The Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney has said that all operations at the plant have been suspended.

He said: "I am seriously concerned about this development and the gardaí have been fully appraised of this development and are working closely with my department."

Minister Coveney said: "The issue here is one of mislabelling and that will be the focus of the investigation."

Officers from the Department of Agriculture's special investigations unit have been carrying out searches at the factory this afternoon.


The issue isn't one of 'mislabelling' it is one of fraud. The article mentions no arrests or even questioning of the scum involved.

NY policeman Gilberto Valle guilty of cannibal plot

A New York City police officer has been found guilty of plotting to murder his wife, and cook and eat other women.

Gilberto Valle, 28, was arrested by the FBI last year following a tip-off by his wife.

The trial heard how Valle had taken steps to carry out his plan of abducting, torturing and eating women he knew.

Defence lawyers argued it was merely a role-playing fantasy he had concocted while browsing fetish websites.

But a Manhattan federal court heard how Galle had contacted some of the women mentioned in his plans.

He also used a police department database to look up their personal information, emailing and texting them and meeting at least one of them.



Valle also used the internet to research the best rope for tying up people and to learn which chemicals render a person unconscious. Search terms found on his computer included "human flesh" and "white slavery".

During the trial, Valle's estranged wife, Kathleen Mangan, 27, testified against him.

She said she had found emails detailing his plans to slit her throat and kidnap and kill her friend.

Ms Mangan said that in the emails, Valle discussed how two other women would be "raped in front of each other to heighten their fears", and another would be roasted alive over a fire.

Both she and Valle wept when the court was shown a picture of him in his police uniform, feeding their newborn daughter.

After Tuesday's guilty verdict, Manhattan prosecutor Preet Bharara said: "Today, a unanimous jury found that Gilberto Valle's detailed and specific plans to abduct women for the purpose of committing grotesque crimes were very real, and that he was guilty as charged.

"The internet is a forum for the free exchange of ideas, but it does not confer immunity for plotting crimes and taking steps to carry out those crimes."

Bankruptcy expert takes over running of Detroit
RTE.ie Updated: 09:12, Friday, 15 March 2013

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder appoints bankruptcy expert to run Detroit Michigan Governor Rick Snyder appoints bankruptcy expert to run Detroit.  Detroit has run operating deficits for nearly a decade and is starved of cash Detroit has run operating deficits for nearly a decade and is starved of cash

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has announced a state takeover of Detroit's finances.

He appointed a corporate bankruptcy expert who took a can-do attitude toward turning around the destitute US city, calling it the "Olympics of restructuring."

Kevyn Orr is a lawyer best known for his work on the restructuring of Michigan-based car maker Chrysler.

He said he hoped to avoid a bankruptcy filing by Detroit, something that would rank as the biggest municipal bankruptcy in US history.

"Let's get at it and work together because we can resolve this, people of good faith. Don't make me go to bankruptcy court," Orr told a news conference, where he was introduced by Snyder and flanked by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing.

Snyder's move amounts to the biggest state takeover of an American city in over two decades.

Orr, who was officially approved by a committee of state officials yesterday, is expected to assume financial management of Detroit on March 25. As the emergency manager, he will supplant the authority of Detroit's elected officials, both the mayor and the city council.

Orr will have broad powers, including the ability to renegotiate labour contracts, privatise services and sell certain city assets.

The dramatic move is the latest stage in the long decline of a city that was once the thriving centre of the US car industry and the birthplace of Motown music. Once the fifth largest American city, Detroit now ranks 18th with 700,000 people.

In addition to his work with Chrysler - for which Orr billed $1m in fees during the first year of the restructuring of the smallest of the three major US car makers - Orr has other Michigan ties. He received both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Michigan.

The emergency manager will face the huge and controversial task of repairing the finances of a city in crisis. Detroit has run operating deficits for nearly a decade, is starved of cash and facing a crushing burden of debt from commitments such as pensions and health insurance.

More than a third of Detroit residents are officially classified as living in poverty, and it has an unemployment rate of 18.2%, far above the US jobless rate of 7.7%, according to government figures. Basic services such as street lights and police protection have broken down, and the city has suffered from mismanagement and political corruption.

Cork pothole: workers suspended for fixing road



Three council road workers in County Cork have been suspended after they took an impromptu decision to fill in a pothole they found on the way back to their depot.

It is understood the workers were returning from a job when they spotted a dangerous pothole and decided to repair it.

A Health and Safety Authority officer saw them.

He said they had not put a proper traffic management system in place.

The workers were consequently suspended from their jobs.


The council has declined to comment on the suspensions.

The men's union, the Services, Industrial, Professional and Technical Union, (Siptu), has stepped in on their behalf.

Con Casey, Siptu, said: "These three workers have exemplary service records. There is a meeting arranged for next Tuesday (2 April) to discuss this with management and we will not be commenting further on the matter until that discussion has taken place."

The incident happened on 13 March at Bothar Guidel Road in Carrigaline.

Cork councillors were told about the suspensions at their meeting last Monday. They heard that the issue was about enforcing health and safety regulations.

Councillor John Mulvihill Snr, a former mayor of Cork, said health and safety was of vital importance.

He said that in recent times three road workers had died in accidents. The result was that the council was enforcing legislation rigorously.

"Health and safety is number one and you cannot put people's lives at risk," he said.

"The law says it was not safe. You need three or four people to fill in a pothole including two with 'Stop and Go' signs.

Councillor Noel McCarthy said common sense should have prevailed
"You cannot put a cost on somebody's life. It is unfortunate. These men are very diligent working guys. They have 90 years of experience between them. They are conscientious people. But how far do you go. Do you rule out common sense altogether?

"Is this a case where a warning could have been issued to the workers? You could ask what about the health and safety inspector - was he a hazard when he stopped to talk to them?"

Councillor Noel McCarthy, Labour, said: "The lads showed initiative. We are all for health and safety but sometimes it can be taken too far.

"These are middle-aged men with plenty of experience. I felt that they had the motorists and the general public in mind."

Mr McCarthy said suspending the men was wrong.

"Common sense should have prevailed," he said.

The Labour councillor said he understood that there were just three men working on the pothole when there should have been four in order to meet health and safety rules.

Ryanair has announced a new collective agreement with all cabin crew, which it said would result in pay increases and favourable rostering arrangements across the airline.
It also announced new five-year pilot agreements at a majority of Ryanair bases where long term pay deals were due to expire in April this year.
Cabin crew at all Ryanair bases have voted to accept a four-year agreement which, from 1st April 2013, will deliver average pay increases of 10 per cent over four years.
The agreement includes a commitment to a stable 'home every night' roster.
The new five-year agreements with pilots affect those at Alicante, Bristol, Cork, East Midlands, Luton and Shannon.
These include pay increases of up to 10 per cent over five years, a five days on, four days off roster and pension increases.
Ryanair pilots at the airline's Manchester and Valencia bases have also negotiated a five day on, four day off roster.
Ryanair's Robin Kiely said: "These agreements recognise the outstanding productivity delivered by Ryanair's people, whose hard work and dedication is key to Ryanair's ability to expand and grow by offering more competition, ultra-low prices and a greater choice of routes."

Mother in UK forced 14-year-old to get pregnant



http://news.yahoo.com/mother-uk-forced-14-old-pregnant-131603990.html



LONDON (AP) — A woman desperate for another child forced her 14-year-old daughter to get pregnant using syringes of donor sperm, a British judge said.

In a ruling reported for the first time Monday, High Court judge Peter Jackson said the mother had behaved in "a wicked and selfish way" that almost defied belief.

The judge said the woman, an American divorcee living in Britain with three adopted children, hatched the plan after she was prevented from adopting a fourth.

The scheme involved getting her oldest daughter to inseminate herself with syringes of sperm purchased over the Internet from a Denmark-based company, Cryos International.

Jackson said the daughter, identified only as A, "became pregnant at the mother's request, using donor sperm bought by the mother, with the purpose of providing a fourth child for the mother to bring up as her own."

In his ruling, the judge quoted the teenager as saying said she was shocked by the suggestion, but thought, "If I do this ... maybe she will love me more."

"My mum is a very determined person and she does her best not to let anything get in her way if she wants it," the teenager added.

The judge said the mother also made the teenager use douches of vinegar or lemon and lime juice in hopes of increasing her chances of having a girl.

The judge said it was likely but not certain that the daughter soon became pregnant and suffered a miscarriage. After six more attempts with the donor sperm, she gave birth to a baby boy in July 2011, when she was 17.

But midwives at the hospital became alarmed by the odd behavior of A's mother. Her daughter wanted to breastfeed the baby, but her mother said: "We don't want any of that attachment thing."

The hospital alerted the authorities, and the children were taken into foster care. The mother is now serving a five-year jail term for child cruelty.

Details of the case were heard during proceedings at the family division of the High Court over the children's future last year. They were reported for the first time Monday after several British media organizations, including the publisher of The Guardian newspaper, challenged reporting restrictions.

A court order bars identifying the family members in order to protect the children.

'Tip of the ice-berg' I suspect. There s tens of thousands of 'runaways' in the USA alone. If 3 girls can be kept for 10 years in a suburban house in a city, imagine what the possibilities are. We ve had similar stuff in Austria and Belgium.

If anything comes out of this then it should be that missing person reports are treated more seriously.

In this case you had girls missing. Neighbours report strange happenings in a house a few miles from their homes but police move on - and presumably dont bother calling back again! - when nobody opens the door! There was more police police and FBI around after they were found, than looked for them in the first place, it seems. Were they afraid that they d be abducted again? This stinks of both bad policing and a pretty fucked up society imo.

Sorry but all I can think about, how stupid were the fecking tourists.



A group of British tourists who were charged €64 for four ice creams in Rome have received an apology and have been invited to return to the Italian capital by its mayor.
Married couple Roger and Wendy Bannister, from Stourbridge in England, said they received the invitation from mayor Gianni Alemanno.
The move comes after Mr Bannister, 58, and Mrs Bannister, 61, along with Mr Bannister's brother Stephen, 68, and his wife Joyce, 69, were landed with the bill on Sunday, the last day of their holiday.
The group had stopped at the Antica Roma ice cream parlour and bar close to the Spanish Steps in the city centre and ordered three scoops of ice cream each. They did not ask to sit down but to take the ice creams away.
Mr Bannister said he reacted with disbelief and shock when he received the bill of €64.
"It was just disbelief and then giving the money and having the change slapped down, the five euro note and the one euro coin, and then the receipt — €64 - we just walked out in disbelief," he told BBC Breakfast.
"It was shocking really."
The incident has been widely reported in the Italian media.
He said they had received a message expressing "sincere apologies", saying Mr Alemanno, an elected politician who is accountable for the strategic government of Rome, was "very upset" about what happened.
Mr Bannister said they were told they would be treated to an ice cream if they returned to the city. He added that they were considering the invitation.
A unnamed staff member at the ice cream parlour told the Daily Mail: "The prices are clearly on display. They got what they asked for — four ice creams."

Peter Eichstaedt's short book, Consuming the Congo: War and Conflict Minerals in the World's Deadliest Place*, takes up the story where Jason Stearns leaves off. Eichstaedt, a formidable journalist and Africa expert, traces the whole grimy trail of exploitation. It begins with ragged villagers digging the gold, tin, or coltan (used in computers and cell phones), continues up through the militias who tax the diggers ruthlessly, on to the négociants who in turn sell to the comptoirs in the eastern Congo cities of Goma or Bukavu, who deliver the ore to international smelting corporations, mostly in Asia. So far efforts to smash this chain—which still finances the militias in their campaigns of mass rape and massacre—have been unsuccessful.

I can see the logic in that though Count. If a person abuses a kid then they scar them for life and deserve any punishment they get. Of course it's right that child porn is illegal but I think probation and being named and shamed is punishment enough for these guys if they don't take their fantasies into the real world. I know there's the arguement that these guys create the demand that leads to kids being abused, so they should be punished in some way but I don't see the need for him to be locked up. Just my opinion. And I know that sticking up for paedos won't make me too popular ha ha. You never see any politician with that as part of his campaign manifesto - Vote Smyth #1 - better rights for paedos.

Personally hate that beach, ended up going there one day last year with the kids as Murvagh down the road was completely blocked up. Anyway, some day a wee kid is going to be killed at Rosnowlagh with the amount of dickheads who where flying up the beach at about 45mph then doing doughnuts with children playing about 30ft away. Not a Guard to be seen the whole day, there should be a patrol there all day on weekends when the weather is forecast to be very warm.

From today's Irish Times

Punter dials 999 to complain about prostitute's looks
Caller wished to report woman for breaching Sale of Goods Act

A man has been warned by police in Britain after he dialled 999 to complain about a prostitute's looks after meeting her outside a hotel.
West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act".
An officer in the call centre at Solihull, Birmingham, responded by telling the man the woman had not committed any offences and explained to him that soliciting for sex was illegal.
The force has now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time. A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "A 999 call was received by police at around 7:30pm on Tuesday evening from a man wishing to complain about a sex worker he had met on a hotel car park.
"The caller claimed that the woman had made out she was better looking than she actually was and he wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act.
"When he raised this issue with the woman concerned, she allegedly took his car keys, ran away from the car and threw them back at him, prompting him to call police.
"An officer in the Solihull contact centre advised the caller that no offences had been committed by the woman and that soliciting for sex was in fact illegal." He added: "Despite the man refusing to give his details, police have been able to identify him and have sent him a letter warning him about his actions.
"Wasting police time is a serious offence and carries a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment."

That's a funny story and one can certainly empathise with the caller but I wonder how does this go from being a police matter to being in the newspapers without a court case. I'm not questioning the truth of it, just curious as to how the press got hold of it.

Went to see Rosnowlagh the once having heard so much about the place. As beaches go it is......... erm just a beach with some caravans and holiday homes near it . Hundreds of nicer beaches than it in the country and probably in Donegal itself alone.

Five mile up the coast towards Donegal town, follow the signs to Murvagh beach. Far better than Rosnowlagh and not a car to be seen on the sand.

The surf at it is fabulous though which can't be said for all Donegal beaches.  And for families it is a great place as there's dick all "bad stuff" that kids could get involved in.  It is a proper beach location but (thankfully) not set up for anything other than the beach and related activities. 
I can see why people would think it boring but I'm not one of those, probably due to memories of summer holidays spent down there.

Fair enough. Tbh I was comparing it to some of the beaches on the Dingle peninsula,Connemara or North Donegal and it was never going to come out well.
Didn't mean to slag it off but just saying I was "disappointed" by Rossnowlagh given I had heard so much about it beforehand.

There's more rugged beauty in those areas I'd agree. The fact Rossnowlagh is easier got to from the large conurbations up north is a big factor coupled by the fact the beach is safe (tide wise) for kids (last weekends car park is not the norm) and is good pushing prams/riding bikes/jogging/walking it ticks a lot of boxes that some of those other places can't. Hence why a lot of people go to it.

I tend to agree with you lad.  It is great for the surfing and I have been there a pile of times.  But know plenty of different spots in Donegal close enough to Derry that would have more of a whow factor for your "yanky" visitors and that.
Was down in Five finger Strand between Malin and Malin head over the weekend.  Hardly anybody about (probably cos its in the middle of no where), but beautiful spot.  Was years since I was last there, and its only half hour drive away.

Gareth Bale applies to copyright loveheart goal celebration

Have you ever longed for a whip with Gareth Bale's 'heart' celebration emblazoned on the handle? A brolly perhaps, or a walking stick? Well, your dreams could soon come true.

The goal-happy Spurs winger has applied to copyright his goal celebration, filing a trademark application with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

According to the application, Bale wants to use the 'Heart 11' symbol on metallic and leather products including shoes, hats, umbrellas, travel bags, jewellery and, erm, whips.

I would be more concerned that they were able to buy a piece of land inside the Ballymena town boundaries for £4m when it was recently valued before that at £75m, even taking into account the melt down that is a serious bargain. Wonder who signed if off and who the planners are and what church they attend etc

Also a bit of digging into the 'Pastor' would make for an interesting story.

National Prison Rape Elimination Commission
Testimony of Tom Cahill


Washington, D.C., June 14, 2005

Hello, my name is Tom Cahill. Nearly 40 years ago, I was beaten and raped for 24 hours in a jail cell in San Antonio, Texas while I was locked up for civil disobedience. That assault has changed my life in a way that no other event could, or should.

I was a veteran who served my country honorably in the U.S. Air Force for four years before starting an alternative newspaper. In 1967, I committed an act of civil disobedience during a labor strike at a factory. Later, I was arrested for failing to comply with the terms of my probation – paying $10 a month in restitution.

As I walked with a guard to that overcrowded cell, I didn't really know what to expect. But I soon found out. One of the prisoners turned and yelled out "fresh meat." I turned and looked at the guard, and he was smiling. After lights out, that's when it started.

Six or seven guys beat me and raped me while another two dozen guys just looked away.
I remember being bounced off the walls and the floor and a bunk like a ball in a pinball machine. They put me inside a mattress cover and then set it on fire. Then someone urinated on it to put it out. I kept waiting for it to end, but it went on, and on, and on.

The guards knew what was going on. All corrections officials know what goes on in their facilities. They have to know – their lives depend on it.

My cellmate told me later that the guards lied and told them I was a child molester, and if they "took care of me" they would get an extra ration of Jello.

After the assault, they kept me in the cell for two weeks – until the bruises started to fade. They wanted to make sure I learned my lesson. They were sending a message that civil disobedience wouldn't be tolerated. They couldn't silence my dissent legally, so they had to resort to extralegal activities.

At first I felt shame and humiliation over being raped. Later, I realized that it was not my shame – it was my country's shame. As a veteran, I feel my country betrayed me.
America has a lot to answer for.

After I was released from jail, I tried to live a normal life, but the rape haunted me. I had flashbacks and nightmares. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My marriage and my business failed. I've been arrested over and over again for acting out. I've had sexual problems. I've been filled with anger for nearly four decades.

Besides the obvious costs to my life, the rape has taken its toll in dollars and cents. Can you put a cost on an incident of prison rape? I have. I believe that one day I spent in jail has cost the government and the taxpayers at least $300,000.

I've been hospitalized more times than I can count. My career as a journalist and photographer was completely derailed, which means lost income tax and spending power. For the past two decades, I've received a non-service-connected disability pension from the VA at a cost of about $200,000 in connection with the only major trauma I've ever suffered – the rape.

I'm only one man. It's hard to say how many men and women are the victims of sexual assault behind bars each year, but with 2 million people imprisoned at any given time in this country, I think it's a significant number. I've never been able to find an accountant who could calculate the cost of prisoner rape, but I believe it costs us millions and millions of dollars.

Although some people think the threat of rape behind bars keeps people from becoming criminals, the truth is, prisoner rape creates more criminals. It takes minor criminals and turns them into violent felons. It creates angry young men and women. Rape in prison just creates more crime.

I urge the PREA Commission to do everything in its power to make our prisons and jails safer by preventing sexual violence behind bars. In addition to saving a lot of money, you'll be saving a lot of lives. Thank you.

Nigerian clubs suspended after 'scandalous' scorelines

Four clubs involved in two play-off matches that ended 79-0 and 67-0 respectively - a total of 146 goals - have been suspended in Nigeria.
Plateau United Feeders were 79-0 victors over Akurba FC while Police Machine FC demolished Bubayaro FC 67-0.

"It is unacceptable - a scandal of huge proportions," said Muke Umeh, chairman of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Organising Committee.

"The teams are suspended indefinitely, pending further sanctions."

Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine went into the matches level on points, with promotion to the lowest tier of the Nationwide League Division at stake.

Feeders scored 72 of their goals in the second half, while Police Machine reportedly scored 61 times after the break in their game.

The results meant that Plateau edged above Police Machine on goal difference.

this whole thing is nothing short of a disgrace.

Trayvon Martin was "murdered" according to standards in most parts of the world. However the Florida legal system is so flawed and biased that the jury were left with very little choice but to acquit Zimmerman.

The legal system in the US needs a huge overhaul. Maybe this is the opportunity to do it.

How likely?

heard an interesting point of view today, and I wonder how many of the Nordies will concur. I paraphrase below

"Every young male in Northern Ireland who has been the only Protestant walking down a street in a very Republican area or in a bar, or any Catholic who has been in a very Loyalist area knows the same fear that a black man in the US feels when he is in a white area. Worried about being found out, wondering if he could be on the wrong end of a hiding, but walking with fists clenched in case he has to defend himself.

Thats what happened to Trayvon Martin, he balled his fists to take care of himself when challenged by a bigot and wound up dead, for being the wrong persuasion when some under educated dumb ass thought he should "protect his people's turf" ."


Any thoughts?

Race relations in general in the US are no where as bad as a fish out of water in the flashpoint areas of the north. The only advantage is unless you're in your Rangers or Celtic gear it's a little harder to single you out than if you're black 'in the white man's world'.

I think what happened to Trayvon Martin was horrible but a big part of the story seems to have been lost in the rush for people to use the case to support their own causes. The way he was dressed, a hoodie, was likely a huge part of why he was profiled too. It's like chav culture in the UK, how you carry yourself is as much a part of how people judge you are your ethnicity or religion. A hoodie has become a symbol of threat and danger and when you added it with Martin being black you got a toxic mixture.

WTF?

It's a hoodie. I own a couple. They're an item of clothing. My own GAA club even sell their own club emblemed hoodie.

The young fella is black.

The mixture of the two is a "toxic mixture".

Christ, I give up.

BTW, Zimmerman is a murdering bastid IMO, 'acquitted by a Limerick Jury'.

Hoodie have become a symbol to a lot of people in America and even here, plenty of shops frown upon people coming in with their hoods up for obvious reasons and that's only fed into the reputation.

Couple a youth with a hoodie by its nature isn't a problem but when you mix in people's prejudices and in this case someone who's black it really was a horrible concoction.

Immediately after the killing the Miami Heat posted a picture of themselves in hoodies in a show of support so yeah, 'hoodie culture' is a very real thing.

When you think of some of the knackers who avoided jail terms yet these two get sent down you have to think the legal system is a bit banjaxed. Not condoning their actions by the way.

Race relations in general in the US are no where as bad as a fish out of water in the flashpoint areas of the north. The only advantage is unless you're in your Rangers or Celtic gear it's a little harder to single you out than if you're black 'in the white man's world'.

I think what happened to Trayvon Martin was horrible but a big part of the story seems to have been lost in the rush for people to use the case to support their own causes. The way he was dressed, a hoodie, was likely a huge part of why he was profiled too. It's like chav culture in the UK, how you carry yourself is as much a part of how people judge you are your ethnicity or religion.

WTF?

It's a hoodie. I own a couple. They're an item of clothing. My own GAA club even sell their own club emblemed hoodie.

The young fella is black.

The mixture of the two is a "toxic mixture".

BTW, Zimmerman is a murdering bastid IMO, 'acquitted by a Limerick Jury'.

Hoodie have become a symbol to a lot of people in America and even here, plenty of shops frown upon people coming in with their hoods up for obvious reasons and that's only fed into the reputation.

Couple a youth with a hoodie by its nature isn't a problem but when you mix in people's prejudices and in this case someone who's black it really was a horrible concoction.

Immediately after the killing the Miami Heat posted a picture of themselves in hoodies in a show of support so yeah, 'hoodie culture' is a very real thing.

Don't most clubs?? I wear them out to work in the winter and so do most of the lads I work with. Syferus, I don't think you have a clue about "chav" culture in the UK to be honest.

You never saw the Cameron "hug a hoodie" thing? Wearing a hoodie doesn't make you a chav but there is definitely a perception that chav's wear hoodies.

http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1273980/shenzhen-wealthy-adults-feed-human-breast-milk (http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1273980/shenzhen-wealthy-adults-feed-human-breast-milk)

While many Chinese parents continue to struggle to find safe and trusted milk powder for their babies, some in Shenzhen are paying to enjoy a new "nourishment" – human breast milk – and a few of them are doing so by breast feeding, according to Chinese media.

Increasing numbers of adults have been hiring wet nurses so they can consume breast milk for its nutritional value, Lin Jun, a manager of Xinxinyu Household Service Company in the southern city of Guangdong, told the Southern Metropolis Daily. Lin went on to say that his company is promoting and expanding its breast milk supply business from babies to adults, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.

"Clients can choose to consume breast milk directly through breastfeeding ... but they can always drink it from a breast pump if they feel uncomfortable," the paper quoted Lin as saying. He claimed breast milk was now popular among adults with high incomes and high-pressure jobs and who suffered from poor health.

"Quite a few of our clients hire in-house wet nurses to ensure a supply of fresh breast milk on a daily base," Lin said in the report, adding "wet nurses rarely raise objections as long as the price is right."

A spokesperson for the company who refused to be identified on Tuesday claimed the report was entirely false, insisting his company's household services did not include recommending wet nurses. The allegations were malicious gossip aimed at driving his company out of business, he told the South China Morning Post by phone.

However, Xinxinyu Household Service Company's advertisements can be seen on a number of marketing websites, promoting the high quality services of its wet nurses, as well as its nannies, stewards, confinement nurses and tutors. The advertisements state that the company's wet nurses can provide services to adults in poor health. Photos online show wet nurses and staff with what appear to be company logos on the walls.

According to the newspaper report, a wet nurse who provides breast milk to adults can earn an average monthly wage of 16,000 yuan (HK$20,238). A healthy and attractive wet nurse can earn even more, the paper was told.

The claims seem to be supported by adverts placed by Xinxinyu on at least one recruitment website for positions of wet nurses with monthly salaries of between 12,000 to 20,000 yuan.

"Consuming human breast milk is quite popular among my social circle ... spending 10,000 to 20,000 yuan hiring a wet nurse is not uncommon at all," Southern Metropolis Daily also quoted an anonymous client as saying, "although only a few people would suck breast milk directly from a wet nurses' nipples."

The anonymous client said he paid 15,000 yuan to a wet nurse and had her live at his home for a month, according to the report.

Legal experts have warned that the practice may be a form of sexual service. "There is an essential difference between sucking on a breast and drinking from a pump, as the former largely exceeds the necessity of diet," Guangdong lawyer Mei Chunlai said.

But Shenzhen police told the paper that it would be difficult to prove if the act was a sex crime as it was hard to acquire evidence.

There are only 22 countries in the world that have not been invaded by Britain

(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02388/BRITAIN_2388153b.jpg)

QuoteEvery schoolboy used to know that at the height of the empire, almost a quarter of the atlas was coloured pink, showing the extent of British rule.
But that oft recited fact dramatically understates the remarkable global reach achieved by this country.
A new study has found that at various times the British have invaded almost 90 per cent of the countries around the globe.
The analysis of the histories of the almost 200 countries in the world found only 22 which have never experienced an invasion by the British.
Among this select group of nations are far-off destinations such as Guatemala, Tajikistan and the Marshall Islands, as well some slightly closer to home, such as Luxembourg.

The analysis is contained in a new book, All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To.
Stuart Laycock, the author, has worked his way around the globe, through each country alphabetically, researching its history to establish whether, at any point, they have experienced an incursion by Britain.
Only a comparatively small proportion of the total in Mr Laycock's list of invaded states actually formed an official part of the empire.
The remainder have been included because the British were found to have achieved some sort of military presence in the territory – however transitory – either through force, the threat of force, negotiation or payment.
Incursions by British pirates, privateers or armed explorers have also been included, provided they were operating with the approval of their government.
So, many countries which once formed part of the Spanish empire and seem to have little historical connection with the UK, such as Costa Rica, Ecuador and El Salvador, make the list because of the repeated raids they suffered from state-sanctioned British sailors.
Among some of the perhaps surprising entries on the list are:
* Cuba, where in 1741, a force under Admiral Edward Vernon stormed ashore at Guantánamo Bay. He renamed it Cumberland Bay, before being forced to withdraw in the face of hostile locals and an outbreak of disease among his men. Twenty one years later, Havana and a large part of the island fell to the British after a bloody siege, only to be handed back to the Spanish in 1763, along with another unlikely British possession, the Philippines, in exchange for Florida and Minorca.
*Iceland, invaded in 1940 by the British after the neutral nation refused to enter the war on the Allies side. The invasion force, of 745 marines, met with strong protest from the Iceland government, but no resistance.
* Vietnam, which has experienced repeated incursions by the British since the seventeenth century. The most recent – from 1945 to 1946 – saw the British fight a campaign for control of the country against communists, in a war that has been overshadowed by later conflicts involving first the French and then Americans.
It is thought to be the first time such a list has been compiled.
Mr Laycock, who has previously published books on Roman history, began the unusual quest after being asked by his 11-year-old son, Frederick, how many countries the British had invaded.
After almost two years of research he said he was shocked by the answer. "I was absolutely staggered when I reached the total. I like to think I have a relatively good general knowledge. But there are places where it hadn't occurred to me that these things had ever happened. It shocked me.
"Other countries could write similar books – but they would be much shorter. I don't think anyone could match this, although the Americans had a later start and have been working hard on it in the twentieth century."
The only other nation which has achieved anything approaching the British total, Mr Laycock said, is France – which also holds the unfortunate record for having endured the most British invasions. "I realise people may argue with some of my reasons, but it is intended to prompt debate," he added.
He believes the actual figure may well be higher and is inviting the public to get in touch to provide evidence of other invasions.
In the case of Mongolia, for instance – one of the 22 nations "not invaded", according to the book – he believes it possible that there could have been a British invasion, but could find no direct proof.
The country was caught up in the turmoil following the Russian Revolution, in which the British and other powers intervened. Mr Laycock found evidence of a British military mission in Russia approximately 50 miles from the Mongolian border, but could not establish whether it got any closer.
The research lists countries based on their current national boundaries and names. Many of the invasions took place when these did not apply.
The research covered the 192 other UN member states as well as the Vatican City and Kosovo, which are not member states, but are recognised by the UK government as independent states.
The earliest invasion launched from these islands was an incursion into Gaul – now France – at the end of the second century. Clodius Albinus led an army, thought to include many Britons, across the Channel in an attempt to seize the imperial throne. The force was defeated in 197 at Lyon.
Mr Laycock added: "On one level, for the British, it is quite amazing and quite humbling, that this is all part of our history, but clearly there are parts of our history that we are less proud of. The book is not intended as any kind of moral judgement on our history or our empire. It is meant as a light-hearted bit of fun."
The countries never invaded by the British:
Andorra
Belarus
Bolivia
Burundi
Central African Republic
Chad
Congo, Republic of
Guatemala
Ivory Coast
Kyrgyzstan
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg
Mali
Marshall Islands
Monaco
Mongolia
Paraguay
Sao Tome and Principe
Sweden
Tajikistan
Uzbekistan
Vatican City

DALLAS — The Texas Board of Education has drawn scrutiny in recent years for its efforts to revise its curriculum to favor more conservative-friendly versions of history and science. After revising textbooks last year to emphasize Christian influences on the Founding Fathers and introduce Intelligent Design to biology classes, the Board voted nine to zero today to change official nomenclature regarding slavery. In Texas, students will now be taught that slaves were not kidnapped and exploited against their will, but were actually "unpaid interns."

"While African workers were not compensated monetarily," the new curriculum guidelines acknowledge, "by working outside picking cotton, they gained valuable career experience and were provided with ample networking opportunities."

A cat which was elected mayor of an Alaskan town 15 years ago has been badly injured in a dog attack.

Maybe we could try this in the 6 counties.

Elect only two parties, one of cats and the other of dogs, and see how they get on. It could actually useful for some of today's politicians to observe the outcome.

For example the cats would be upset at the dogs need to chase them everywhere every now and then. The dogs would insist that this is their traditional activity as decreed by their God, Mother Nature. The cats would point out that is rather stressful to them, and is the reason for some of the serious scratchings inflicted upon the dogs.

The dogs would whinge about the need for the cats to decommission their claws. The cats would obviously need many, many clarifications on what this actually meant before any movement on the issue. The cats would need some major ground conceded with regard to the allegations of doggy policemen colluding while playing 'fetch' with stray dogs and other undesirables. The cats would also be understandably be fed up with unemployed dogs barking at their kittens while going to school.

It could be interesting to watch.

Got this mail from a pal - unreal

The kid brother's new restaurant in Clapham is getting brilliant reviews and he's attracting a lot of attention.
Here is a review from last week's Guardian from a reviewer who is highly regarded.
However, an unexpected bonus was the attention that was paid to one of the commenters – it went 'viral' as they say and the restaurant had radio stations ringing them up about it.

Read the comment from Angelique Murphy and the responses to it.
It's not a spoof. I don't think you could make it up.

I had to struggle past this sort of stuff:

Take those peas: cooked just enough that there's still bite, with weeny cubes of blanched celery, fronds of celery leaf, torn nasturtium leaves and a mound of mousse so light it looks set to float off the plate. It has a wreathed-in-sunshine brightness of flavours. The pork belly's skin is so thin and crisp, its flesh and fat so marshmallowy, it's like eating piggy crème brûlée.

But then I got to the comments. And it is serious!

Some people really shouldn't be allowed to look after children

This is something I found out about via the Bellett forum. Someone calling himself Frederic P Miller is downloading text from Wikipedia, sending it to a "print on demand" self-publishing house called Alphaprint and advertising the books through places like Amazon, Booktopia, Abe Books and many others. The books are advertised at substantial prices - $60 upwards but basically consist of Wikipedia printouts of varying accuracy, doubtful relevance and questionable reproduction quality - eg what is colour in Wikipedia will be black and white in the book. Wikipedia articles may of course be viewed and downloaded free of charge, sometimes contain animations and usually have active links.

Miller has titles listed for various Hillman, Humber, Sunbeam subjects, such as;

http://tinyurl.com/29vojmz
http://tinyurl.com/2wnw3bm
http://tinyurl.com/2cbvpmm

It's not just books on cars - "Miller" (if that's his real name) currently has 77,000+ books listed on Amazon at the moment, on all sorts of topics: Wine, films, musicals, Pokemon, etc etc.

One of the Bellet forum members bought an Isuzu Florian book. It has a copy+paste of the Wikipedia Florian article, the general Isuzu article, the Bellel and Isuzu Aska Wikipedia articles, plus articles on the Isuzu P'up and Chevrolet LUV; it also has Wikipedia articles on "Sedan" as an automotive concept; the development of said body style , as well as a similar article dealing with the history and concept of the 'station wagon. (the Bookseller Booktopia is going to refund him after he complained)

The giveaways for the books are The editors name, the Alphaprint self publishing connection, and the Green label on front of book saying "High quality content by Wikipedia articles".

So don't get burned folks. And you might think of spreading the word to any other forums you are on.

Cheers, Vic

Farmers capture one metre-long 'ratzilla' which terrorised village and ate fish WHOLE

The freakish giant rodent weighed ten times that of an average rat and had been devouring 3kg fish whole in Shaoyang, in China's Hunan Province
Chinese farmers have captured a one metre-long, 5kg rat which had been terrorising villagers, it was claimed today.

The freakish giant rodent, dubbed 'ratzilla', weighed ten times that of an average rat and had been devouring 3kg fish whole in Shaoyang, in China's Hunan Province.

In a gruesome twist, farmers who caught the huge animal tried to cut it up to eat - but broke two knives hacking at its body.

The rat had been terrorising villagers in Shaoyang before local farmers banded together to finally catch it, according to shanghaiist.com.

Workers eventually cornered 'ratzilla' and killed it with makeshift weapons, but broke two knives trying to carve its thick bones and skin.
Rat is widely eaten in Guangdong, southern China, and is used in soups as well as being stewed or braised.

It some parts of China it is considered to be three times more nutritious than chicken.

Many years ago, two of my mates were driving down from Derry to Belfast to attend my wedding. Somewhere past Draperstown, as they were doing about 60 mph the bonnet opened, broke off, then flipped over the car and landed 20 yards down the road behind them. Luckily, not too much traffic on the road. Our heroes threw the bonnet in the ditch and drove on, arriving in front of all the wedding guests in a bonnet-less vehicle. It was probably the last time I laughed.

A PRIMARY school is to ballot parents over a demand by three families to have the 2014 Holy Communion date changed because it clashes with a One Direction concert.

The move came after the three families that have children attending Raheen Gaelscoil in Limerick objected to the May 24 date, which had been provisionally earmarked by the local parish priest, because their children had booked tickets for the boy band's concert in Dublin's Croke Park that day.

A meeting in the school on Tuesday night became extremely heated when the parents involved insisted that the date be changed – while other parents became incensed at what one described as the "disrespect shown to the blessed sacrament".

When it was impossible to agree on the alternative May 3 date, the school meeting was ended.

Children were yesterday sent home with notes advising parents that a ballot will now be taken amongst the 30 families who have children in the Holy Communion class.

"A lot of parents, who had no problem with the date, contacted the school subsequently to express their outrage at the (perceived) disrespect shown to the blessed sacrament," a school source confirmed.

Some parents had no principled objection to a change of date once there was proper justification.

"They just didn't think a pop concert was a good enough reason," one relative said.

Parents will now ballot on whether Holy Communion should go ahead on the date selected (May 24) or the alternative date (May 3).

School officials said they believe there is an emerging majority in favour of proceeding with the original date.

The controversy erupted after a number of schools in Cork and Dublin previously selected Holy Communion dates to avoid a clash with the sell-out concert series following early representations from both parents and children.

The boy band (inset) first played Dublin's O2 in 2011 as part of the 'X Factor' tour after they finished third in the hit television show.

They will play three gigs in Croke Park from May 23-25 as part of their mammoth 'Where We Are' tour.

Tickets for the gigs sold out within minutes of going on sale.

The band, which has only been together three years, now has a combined estimated wealth of almost €40m.

One Direction have already topped the US and UK single, album and even best-selling book charts.

A man in his 60's was killed trying to cross the 3 lane N7 Naas road tonight.One of the busiest roads in Ireland.
I passed it this evening going the other direction and I saw one of the cars involved had a massive hole in it's windscreen.
Huge tailbacks coming out of Dublin because of it,worst I have seen in ages.I believe it stretched all the way back to the canal.

No one of right mind would attempt to cross such a road so it's likely this guy who was killed was unwell and not in a right frame of mind.

Jesus! Catch a Predator was horrendous and this is even worse. I have to ask the obvious question - Why the hell aren't these vigilantes being prosecuted? If it's legal to do what they're doing then it's basically okay to ruin an innocent person's life if you choose to do so.

Police in America conducted some stings where they posed as parents willing to sell their 8 and 9 year old children for sex, and I'd have much less of a problem with that kind of sting. I'm not sure how useful it is though, since most abuse is committed by people known to the victims. Still, you'd have to say fair enough.  But this sh!t of posing as a willing 15 year old to destroy someone's life and wrongly label them a paedophile is appalling.

Yobs pretending to be Dirty Harry.

One of the worst aspects is that in the rare event that they actually do trap a pedophile, it often hampers the police from gathering evidence. "the tactic of posting the videos online before approaching the police allows genuine criminals time to destroy evidence."

Stupid twats, if they want to catch criminals join the police. I suspect there is a reason they aren't in the police.

On the news last night they were reporting about the sc**bag in Chicago who attacked Natasha McShane is likely to get 120 years in prison (good enough for him)

But then the very next story was about some young druggy fella in the North who stabbed a fella in the neck killing him, and he will be out in 3 years.  The parents of the boy who was killed were saying that the funeral payment plan will last longer than the sentence, and that the young mans daughter will only be 6 years old when the guy who murdered her dad gets out of prison.

It is very hard to understand why unduly lenient sentences are handed out in this country. North and South.

It is simply money. It costs too much to keep the scum locked up so they stupidly let them out. That is how you get the two children sexually assaulted in Athlone by someone who should never have been let out.

It is actually ridiculous the the jail terms that are handed out over here for convictions. Even in England you can go to prison for punching someone on the street. Yet over here people get handed out 'life sentences' of 15 years (out in seven) for murder. How do they justify it?

Was up in Dublin Saturday night for dinner and catch-up with a few old work buddies. Drove up and down.

Coming out of Dublin in M1 on way home about 3.30am. Car on inside lane, I pull out to overtake from a distance and he starts speeding up, my yoke would have right poke on it but his 02 Megane was flat to the mat. Took far more than it should have to get past him, but I did and up ahead I pulled back into inside lane. He made a big effort to get alongside and then I took gas off and let him pass. I sat back as thought this guy, also on his own as well, is danagerous and not the time for games. He slowed right up again, forcing me to go past him again, I wasn't going to drive home at 80kmph. And then repeat.

Thankfully he pulled off at junction before the City North Hotel. But he was a clown.

Gardaí investigating the discovery of an unidentified girl on O'Connell Street in Dublin last month have released a photograph of her.
The High Court last week granted gardaí permission to release information about the teenager, believed to be in her mid teens, who was found in a distressed stated on October 10th.
On Friday afternoon, Mr Justice George Birmingham granted gardaí an order under Section 31.2 of the 1991 Child Care Act allowing them, in the excercise of their operational discretion, to release information concerning the girl to print and broadcast media.
On Thursday, lawyers for the Garda Commissioner, in seeking the order, told the court the investigation had "hit a brick wall".
Gardaí had reached "a deadlock" in their efforts to identify the girl and every possible avenue had been exhausted.
Despite their intensive efforts gardaí were unable to establish who the girl is, where she comes from or who her family are.

Very strange case alright. Apparently it has emerged the girl is Australian, although early reports say she has little or no English

I don't understand any of this. The girl (or, as now being suggested, woman) is apparently articulate enough to issue statements of appreciation for the care she's receiving. So presumably she is able to communicate and have her language translated. But doesn't know who she is. Is it a case of amnesia?

Then the guards get permission to release her photograph, but they release a poor quality CCTV still. Why not take a proper photo?

Strangely they said she didn't agree to be photographed.

If she is as old as they think now, then the court orders and lack of publishing a photo, are all irrelevant.

1 November 2013
A pig farmer who ordered two repossession men to strip naked and get into a pen with an 'agitated' boar was jailed today.


Donal Connaughton (55), from Elfeet, Newtowncashel, Co Longford, was sentenced to 12 months in prison at Longford Circuit Court sitting in Tullamore today.

At the conclusion of his trial in December of last year, the farmer was found guilty of two counts of false imprisonment, two charges of threatening to cause serious harm, one count of assault and two of criminal damage.

He was found not guilty on another charge of assault by the jury of seven men and five women at Longford Circuit Court.

Patrick Mulvey and Justin Tighe, employees of repossession company, Assets Security of Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, had earlier told the court that they feared for their lives after going to JAC Pigs Ltd in Co Longford on April 29, 2010 to repossess items on behalf of GE Money.

A scuffle had taken place in the yard at the pig farm during which Mr Mulvey and Mr Tighe said they were assaulted.

They had told the court in evidence that Donal Connaughton had ordered them to strip and get into the pen with the agitated boar and they feared they were going to be violated by the animal.

The animal could be heard on an audio recording made by one of the men on his phone during their ordeal.

The two men were heard pleading to be let go and promised Donal Connaughton that they would never return to the premises, but he said he wanted to "teach them a lesson".

The two men were told to strip naked and they would be allowed walk out of the yard and when they refused Donal Connaughton made them get down on their knees and say the 'Our Father' before they were let go, leaving their truck behind.

The two repo men had arrived at the farm to repossess a generator and two power-washers.

Sentencing was adjourned on a number of occasions earlier this year after the farmer claimed he had evidence of jury misconduct. Two separate garda investigations into his claims came to nothing, the court heard.

At today's sentencing hearing, Donal Connaughton's solicitor Patricia Cronin read a statement from her client in which he said he had worked hard and long hours with honesty and dedication.

But the period leading up to 2010 had been particularly difficult. "I was feeling the heat", he said, in a reference to trying to deal with "3,000 fat pigs".

He admitted he had become angry and that things had gone too far. He didn't attempt to justify the extent of his behaviour and he wanted to apologise.

Judge Hunt described his dealings with the two repossession men as "a disastrous over-reaction". The repossession men were clearly frightened and wanted to leave. They even asked Donal Connaughton to call the gardai and have them arrested for trespass.

But he had told them to strip and that he had "a good, wicked boar here". He would then see how manly "these jackeens are".

Mr Connaughton had vented his spleen and ire on the men and while he took no satisfaction in sending a man of his age to prison, he imposed concurrent sentences of 12 months on each of the charges on which he was found guilty.

The judge also noted that the repossession men were, in his view, placed in a very difficult position by the financial institution on whose behalf they were acting.

It was "extremely incorrect and improper" to send them to see if they could get "a few quid" from the farmer. The judge said that perhaps their principals had questions to answer.

No. None of them do.

You think you have it bad!!!!  O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on!

QuoteA woman who makes her fiancé take a lie detector test to prove he has been faithful every time he leaves the house has been diagnosed with a rare condition that causes delusional jealousy.

Debbi Wood, 42, of Leicester, is so paranoid that her partner Steve Wood, 30, will stray that she also checks his phone, email accounts and bank statements several times a day for evidence of infidelity.

Mr Wood, who started dating Miss Wood in 2011 after they met through a friend, is even banned from watching women on television or looking at pictures of them in magazines.

Controlling: Debbi Wood, 42, of Leicester, is so paranoid that her partner Steve Wood, 30, will stray that she also checks his phone, email accounts and bank statements several times a day for evidence of infidelity

Doctors have discovered that Miss Wood is suffering from Othello Syndrome, a psychiatric disorder which causes sufferers to believe their partners have been unfaithful - even without evidence.

She said: 'I'm relieved to finally know what's wrong with me but I still have a long way to go. Even if Steve pops out for 15 minutes to buy a pint of milk, I make him take a lie detector test as soon as he gets home.

'I get so worried that he's been eyeing up the shop assistant that I just have to know the truth.


'I think he's gorgeous, but that's not the issue - it's about whether or not I can trust him not to look at other women while he is out on his own.

'I don't want him thinking they're hot. If you're in a relationship and you're happy with your partner, you should only have eyes for that person.'

Miss Wood, who spent ten years in the US, moved back to Britain three years ago after her long-term relationship broke down, leaving her devastated.

She was so heartbroken that she vowed to never get into another relationship - and experts believe the emotional trauma triggered her illness.

Miss Wood was living in her native Scotland when a mutual friend introduced her to Mr Wood on Facebook a year later.

After exchanging messages for several weeks, she travelled to London where the pair enjoyed their first date.

She said: 'I knew we were meant to be a couple when we shared our first kiss under London Bridge. I didn't mean to fall in love again after my last relationship but Steve stole my heart.

'The only problem was that we lived so far apart. We started to get serious and made plans to move in together but I then discovered that Steve had been seeing another girl around the time we'd first met.

'He claimed he didn't think we were exclusive because of the distance and I forgave him but I started to doubt whether or not he could be faithful.'

Othello Syndrome is a psychiatric disorder where a person is convinced their partner is being unfaithful - but with very little, if any, proof to confirm their fears.

The name is derived from Shakespeare's Othello, who killed his wife Desdemona after suspecting infidelity.

Patrice Naiambana and Natalia Tena are seen as the duo in a stage production (above).

The condition presents itself as jealous and controlling behaviour and sometimes violence - but the two main characteristics are delusions and obsessions.

In men the jealousy tends to focus around sexual infidelity, whereas in women it may centre around emotional betrayal.

Treatment includes antidepressant and antipsychotic medication and/or therapy.

It is not known how common the syndrome is but one study suggests the average onset is at age 68 and with 62 per cent of sufferers male.
.
Miss Wood said: 'One night, an advert for a women's razor came on television and I felt panicky thinking that Steve was eyeing the model up.


'The only thing that could put my mind at rest was banning him from watching any programmes that have women in them.

'Now, I won't even let him watch The Weakest Link in case he fancies Anne Robinson but I'm scared he'll have a sneaky look when I'm in another room.


'That's why I decided to order the lie detector online. It was my only way of knowing for sure if Steve's eyes were wandering. In general, he's quite truthful but I have caught him lying a few times about looking at other women.'

Miss Wood was diagnosed with Othello Syndrome earlier this year in September and her condition has affected her so much that she has barely left the house in six months.

She has been prescribed anti-anxiety medication and is having therapy to deal with her issues, after which she hopes to marry Mr Wood, who proposed earlier this year.

Miss Wood has already taken his surname as her own, in anticipation of the wedding. She has also been researching Othello Syndrome and hopes to start a support group for other sufferers.

The name of the condition is derived from the play by William Shakespeare, in which the character of Othello murders his wife Desdemona after suspecting infidelity.


Research suggests around 15 per cent of sufferers have been violent towards their partners, including 63-year-old Robert Mercati, who killed his wife Margaret at their home earlier this year after being diagnosed with the condition.


Mr Mercati, of Bloomsbury, central London, who then took his own life, had installed electric bugs around the marital home after becoming convinced his wife, also 63, had been unfaithful.

Miss Wood said: 'My jealousy has driven me to breaking point and sometimes I've thrown stuff across the room.

'I put Steve through a lot but he's stood by me through it all so I know he's the man for me. I think lots of women out there must be suffering from the same condition and just not realise it.

'I think it's because of the pressure society puts on us to look a certain way - to be stick thin with blonde hair and big boobs. I'm lucky my partner is so understanding - others might not be so fortunate.'

Unemployed Mr Wood admitted life with his partner could be tough - but insisted she was worth it.

He said: 'Sometimes, I get nervous and the lie detector test results come back inconclusive because my heart is hammering, which makes Debbi doubt me. I just have to tell her I haven't cheated and pray she believes me. 


'I'm willing to put up with it, because I know we're soulmates. She's so special to me and a bit of jealousy here and there won't change that.'

http://thehunterwiki.com/?title=Feral_Hog (http://thehunterwiki.com/?title=Feral_Hog)

Domestic pigs quite readily become feral, and feral populations often revert to a similar appearance to wild boar; they can then be difficult to distinguish from natural or introduced true wild boar (with which they also readily interbreed). The characterization of populations as feral pig, escaped domestic pig or wild boar is usually decided by where the animals are encountered and what is known of their history.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/15/pornography-culprit-rise-labiaplasty

Gynaecologists warned this week that cosmetic labial reduction requests have increased dramatically over the past five years, a trend driven partly by the images in pornography.

Some 2,000 labiaplasty operations were performed by the NHS in 2010, which represents a fivefold increase in 10 years. And this could be the tip of the iceberg with thousands more seeking surgery privately. According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists ethics committee, women – including girls under 18 – are choosing to undergo the operation because of increasing access to "unrealistic and narrow representations of vulval appearance in popular culture". In other words, pornography. Advertising by private clinics too is blamed for conveying a "distorted" image of what female genitals look like and playing down the risks of surgery.

A museum celebrating the career of One Direction star Niall Horan is set to open in his hometown of Mullingar next summer.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, local councillor Aiden Davitt said: ''Of course we want to honour one of our leading lights. Niall is always promoting Mullingar around the world and has said it's something he would support, as did his mother Maura.''

''Fans come here every day looking for Niall's house - they also go to Tesco looking for his dad Bobby - so it would be great to have somewhere for them to go.''

He added: ''Niall would be the star of the show as our most famous son. We would love to get some of his items to display there for fans, as well as interactive footage of his performances around the town.''

A museum celebrating the career of One Direction star Niall Horan is set to open in his hometown of Mullingar next summer.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, local councillor Aiden Davitt said: ''Of course we want to honour one of our leading lights. Niall is always promoting Mullingar around the world and has said it's something he would support, as did his mother Maura.''

''Fans come here every day looking for Niall's house - they also go to Tesco looking for his dad Bobby - so it would be great to have somewhere for them to go.''

He added: ''Niall would be the star of the show as our most famous son. We would love to get some of his items to display there for fans, as well as interactive footage of his performances around the town.''

Imagine selling your father.

One thing I'll say for Mullingar.

I was down watching Antrim & Galway in a minor game about 8 years ago. Down played Kildare in a senior game after so I went to a bar in the town. I've never seen a better lookin girl behind a bar in my life.

One of these beauties? ;)

We are going to have to take the caravan down after this

Olympic hero must give boxing class after street row
John Joe was aggressive to his father and ran over to him as the older man tried to get into a taxi. The boxer was also aggressive to one of the gardai.

His father also put a curse on the other garda at the scene, the court was told.

The boxer recently announced his decision to turn professional.

Judge Hughes was unimpressed when he indicated he might not have time to give a master class as he is going to America soon for training.

He said he didn't care about America – and that Nevin hadn't cared about America when he was "acting the bowsie on the streets of Mullingar".

Here is a poem written by a woman called Aphra Behn, possibly in the 1670s or 1680s, but before the Victorian puritanical age.

It might be a bit high-brow for some people on here, but...  the poem is about premature ejaculation.

The Disappointment
By Aphra Behn 1640–1689


1
    ONE Day the Amarous Lisander,
    By an impatient Passion sway'd,
    Surpris'd fair Cloris, that lov'd Maid,
    Who cou'd defend her self no longer ;
    All things did with his Love conspire,
    The gilded Planet of the Day,
    In his gay Chariot, drawn by Fire,
    Was now descending to the Sea,
    And left no Light to guide the World,
But what from Cloris brighter Eyes was hurl'd.

2
    In alone Thicket, made for Love,
    Silent as yielding Maids Consent,
    She with a charming Languishment
    Permits his force, yet gently strove ?
    Her Hands his Bosom softly meet,
    But not to put him back design'd,
    Rather to draw him on inclin'd,
    Whilst he lay trembling at her feet;
    Resistance 'tis to late to shew,
She wants the pow'r to say — Ah!what do you do?

3
    Her bright Eyes sweat, and yet Severe,
    Where Love and Shame confus'dly strive,
    Fresh Vigor to Lisander give :
    And whispring softly in his Ear,
    She Cry'd — Cease — cease — your vain desire,
    Or I'll call out — What wou'd you do ?
    My dearer Honour, ev'n to you,
    I cannot — must not give — retire,
    Or take that Life whose chiefest part
I gave you with the Conquest of my Heart.

4
    But he as much unus'd to fear,
    As he was capable of Love,
    The blessed Minutes to improve,
    Kisses her Lips, her Neck, her Hair !
    Each touch her new Desires alarms !
    His burning trembling Hand he prest
    Upon her melting Snowy Breast,
    While she lay panting in his Arms !
    All her unguarded Beauties lie
The Spoils and Trophies of the Enemy.

5
    And now, without Respect or Fear,
    He seeks the Objects of his Vows ;
    His Love no Modesty allows :
    By swift degrees advancing where
    His daring Hand that Alter seiz'd,
    Where Gods of Love do Sacrifice ;
    That awful Throne, that Paradise,
    Where Rage is tam'd, and Anger pleas'd ;
    That Living Fountain, from whose Trills
The melted Soul in liquid Drops distils.

6
    Her balmy Lips encountring his,
    Their Bodies as their Souls are joyn'd,
    Where both in Transports were confin'd,
    Extend themselves upon the Moss.
    Cloris half dead and breathless lay,
    Her Eyes appear'd like humid Light,
    Such as divides the Day and Night;
    Or falling Stars, whose Fires decay ;
    And now no signs of Life she shows,
But what in short-breath-sighs returns and goes.

7
    He saw how at her length she lay,
    He saw her rising Bosom bare,
    Her loose thin Robes, through which appear
    A Shape design'd for Love and Play;
    Abandon'd by her Pride and Shame,
    She do's her softest Sweets dispence,
    Offring her Virgin-Innocence
    A Victim to Loves Sacred Flame ;
    Whilst th' or'e ravish'd Shepherd lies,
Unable to perform the Sacrifice.

8
    Ready to taste a Thousand Joys,
    Thee too transported hapless Swain,
    Found the vast Pleasure turn'd to Pain :
    Pleasure, which too much Love destroys !
    The willing Garments by he laid,
    And Heav'n all open to his view ;
    Mad to possess, himself he threw
    On the defenceless lovely Maid.
    But oh ! what envious Gods conspire
To snatch his Pow'r, yet leave him the Desire !

9
    Natures support, without whose Aid
    She can no humane Being give,
    It self now wants the Art to live,
    Faintness it slacken'd Nerves invade :
    In vain th' enraged Youth assaid
    To call his fleeting Vigour back,
    No Motion 'twill from Motion take,
    Excess of Love his Love betray'd ;
    In vain he Toils, in vain Commands,
Th' Insensible fell weeping in his Hands.

10
    In this so Am'rous cruel strife,
    Where Love and Fate were too severe,
    The poor Lisander in Despair,
    Renounc'd his Reason with his Life.
    Now all the Brisk and Active Fire
    That should the Nobler Part inflame,
    Unactive Frigid, Dull became,
    And left no Spark for new Desire ;
    Not all her Naked Charms cou'd move,
Or calm that Rage that had debauch'd his Love.

11
    Cloris returning from the Trance
    Which Love and soft Desire had bred,
    Her tim'rous Hand she gently laid,
    Or guided by Design or Chance,
    Upon that Fabulous Priapus,
    That Potent God (as Poets feign.)
    But never did young Shepherdess
    (Gath'ring of Fern upon the Plain)
    More nimbly draw her Fingers back,
Finding beneath the Verdant Leaves a Snake.

12
    Then Cloris her fair Hand withdrew,
    Finding that God of her Desires
    Disarm'd of all his pow'rful Fires,
    And cold as Flow'rs bath'd in the Morning-dew.
    Who can the Nymphs Confusion guess ?
    The Blood forsook the kinder place,
    And strew'd with Blushes all her Face,
    Which both Disdain and Shame express ;
    And from Lisanders Arms she fled,
Leaving him fainting on the gloomy Bed.

13
    Like Lightning through the Grove she hies,
    Or Daphne from the Delphick God ;
    No Print upon the Grassie Road
    She leaves, t' instruct pursuing Eyes.
    The Wind that wanton'd in her Hair,
    And with her ruffled Garments plaid,
    Discover'd in the flying Maid
    All that the Gods e're made of Fair.
    So Venus, when her Love was Slain,
With fear and haste flew o're the fatal Plain.

14
    The Nymphs resentments, none but I
    Can well imagin, and Condole ;
    But none can guess Lisander's Soul,
    But those who sway'd his Destiny :
    His silent Griefs, swell up to Storms,
    And not one God, his Fury spares,
    He Curst his Birth, his Fate, his Stars,
    But more the Shepherdesses Charms ;
    Whose soft bewitching influence,
Had Damn'd him to the Hell of Impotence.

And all to start killing branchmen, despite having invested years of hard work into building a peace process! This was just another stroke in the "Save Dave" Trimble/collapse the institutions campaign. Much like the "spy-ring" in Stormont where something like 18 landrovers of cops arrived at stormont, with the TV cameras ready and waiting, to publically raid SF's offices. The seized materials...two CDs. One a backup copy of Windows and the other a electronic copy of an election manifesto. Both of which were discreetly returned within a week and the charges dropped three years later. The juicy footage of the raid was beamed around the world and that's all they needed to achieve.

Three lapdancers and their manager kidnapped a club boss after he failed to pay them more than £42,000, a jury heard.

The women had been hired to work at a pop-up nightclub in Cheltenham to entertain racegoers during the famous Cheltenham Festival in March 2012. Local businessman Curtis Woodman rented the Embassy Club in the Gloucestershire town, which did not hold a lapdancing licence.

Charlotte Devaney 34, from London, arranged a number of girls who would pay £150 each per night to work as hostesses and dancers at the club. Bristol crown court heard the girls signed contracts agreeing to wear "bikinis and nipple tassels at all times" to comply with the licence. When the club opened, however, some of the girls "insisted on taking their clothes off" and the venture was shut down by officials on its third night.

The girls had already earned "considerable amounts of money", including £42,000 from one customer, but Woodman refused to pay them, the court heard. After months of chasing for payment, Devaney, along with three of the dancers – Mandy Cool, 29, Stephanie Pye, 31, and Rachel Goodchild, 24 – travelled to confront Woodman.

The group were joined by two brothers, Alexander, 23, and Robert Morris, 27, and arrived at Woodman's business premises in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. A jury of seven men and five women heard Woodman was kidnapped, bundled into a BMW and driven to a remote field where he was attacked.

Giving evidence in police interview, Woodman said the group had arrived at around 4pm on 3 September 2012. "They bundled me into the car and they said: 'Right, we are taking you off to have a talk'," Woodman said. "Charlotte [Devaney] was shouting at me. They were saying, 'where's my money, where's my money', and I said I hadn't got any money.

"One of the blokes, I would describe as looking like Will Smith or Craig David, he hit me a few times throughout the ordeal. When we were in the car park, the other guy, the tubbier guy, took my Breitling off me." Jurors were told the Breitling watch, worth £4,650, was found in Alexander Morris' anus following his arrest.

During the journey, a Stanley knife carried by Alexander Morris was pushed into Woodman's leg, the court heard. Woodman was allegedly travelling in Devaney's BMW 1 Series convertible, sat between the Morris brothers, with Devaney driving and Pye in the passenger seat.

Cool was following the vehicle in her BMW 3 Series, with Goodchild inside. Both cars drove on to the M5 and left at junction 10. Woodman's phone was confiscated and unsuccessful attempts were made to transfer money using a NatWest app, prosecutor Martin Steen told the jury.

"He was then persuaded to ring the bank and arrange for a transfer using the details of Charlotte Devaney's bank card," Steen said. "£4,800 was transferred into Charlotte Devaney's account."

Woodman was taken 100 metres down an agricultural track before he was taken out of the vehicle by the Morris brothers, it was alleged. "They told him they were going to have some fun," Steen said. "That involved hitting him to the face and kicking him to the face, causing him to bleed. "It was suggested that they should pay a visit to his parents, perhaps dealing with his parents might encourage satisfaction of the debt that was owed."

At around 6.30pm, after visiting a fish and chip shop, the group dumped Woodman on a residential street in Cheltenham. "Woodman was released with threats that if he didn't pay the rest of the money, they would be back," Steen said. Before he was left, the Morris brothers told Woodman to empty his pockets and hand over £60 of cash in them, he added.

Police, who had already been tipped off by a business partner of Woodman's he had called during the drive, traced the two BMWs and the defendants were arrested.

The court was told relations between the girls, Devaney and Woodman soured after the club was closed down. Woodman said one customer, who had spent £700 on alcohol that evening, racked up a £42,000 bill on the second night.

He claimed, however, that the money simply covered costs he had encountered setting up the club, which was closed down due to girls breaking the rules. The club had an entertainment licence, which meant women were not to provide lapdancing or stripping services, save for one night a month.

"The contracts stated that clothes – bikinis and nipple tassels – were to be worn at all times," Steen said. "On the Monday night, some of the girls would not adhere to the rules, they insisted on taking their clothes off. Complaints came to be made."

The following evening, during which the £42,000 transaction was made, the club held the permitted one day of "full entertainment", including stripping services, he said. "On the Wednesday, police and licensing officers paid the club a visit," he said. "The girls were not adhering to the rules. As a result, the club was closed down."

Woodman, in his police interview, said the girls had signed contracts agreeing to forfeit their commissions if they broke the rules, including wearing clothes. "If you have ever asked a stripper to keep her clothes on when she is working, it doesn't happen," he said. "I was constantly bombarding them 'put your clothes back on'." He said the fact the rules were breached meant the girls were not entitled to the money.

Alexander Morris, from Southampton, has admitted carrying a bladed article, namely a Stanley knife, on September 3 2012, the day of the alleged kidnap. He denies a charge of robbery, along with Robert Morris, also from Southampton, concerning Woodman's Breitling watch.

The brothers are also charged with robbery, concerning £60 Woodman gave them from his pocket before his release. They deny the charge.

Devaney, Pye, from Sutton Coldfield, Cool, of Southampton, and Goodchild, also of Southampton, each deny a charge of kidnap on September 3 2012.

The trial, in front of judge Geoffrey Mercer, continues.

18 JANUARY 2014

A nun has given birth in Italy after being rushed from her convent to hospital earlier this week with severe stomach cramps.


The woman, originally from El Salvador, said she had no idea she was pregnant after giving birth to a baby boy on Wednesday, local media have reported.

"I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain," Italian news agency ANSA quoted her as saying.

The nun has named her child Francesco (Francis), ANSA reported. The name is hugely popular in Italy where St Francis of Assisi is the national patron saint.

The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus" convent in Campomoro near Rieti, which is responsible for managing an old people's home.

People have now begun collecting donations and clothes for the new mother, who is expected to keep the baby, according to reports.

Simone Petrangeli, the mayor of Rieti has asked inhabitants of the small city, which has a population of just 47,700, to respect her privacy

The hospital staff have not yet responded to requests for a comment.

Nuns at her convent are said to be "very surprised" by the birth.

A row has broken out at Belfast City Council after a DUP councillor put on a Linfield football scarf.

Sinn Féin objected after the DUP's Ruth Patterson put on the scarf while speaking on a motion calling on the council to honour outgoing Linfield manager David Jeffrey.

Sinn Féin councillor Jim McVeigh said their objection was not to the motion, but to the wearing of the scarf.

The issue has been sent for discussion to a council committee.

The monthly meeting of the council on Monday was held up for more than 10 minutes as a result of complaints from Mr McVeigh.

The deputy lord mayor Christopher Stalford, who was chairing the meeting at the time, dismissed the complaints and told him: "Sit down and stop acting like a petulant child".

Mr McVeigh rejected the comment.

He asked for clarification from council officials on whether or not a Linfield scarf should be allowed to be worn by members at an official council meeting.

Alderman Stalford refused to consult officials and moved on.

The decision on whether or not to honour record-breaking David Jeffrey, who is standing down as Linfield manager at the end of the season, was sent for discussion to a council committee.

In spite of the row over the scarf, it seems likely to win widespread support on the council.

A woman's body that was degrading in the back of a car for over half a decade has been found lying in a garage in the US neighbourhood of Pontiac, Michigan.


As her bills were paid by direct debit, her mail sent to the post office, and her grass regularly cut by a neighbour for six years, the woman's remains were only discovered in the Jeep Liberty after her bank account ran out of funds and someone was sent to check why mortgage payments had stopped.



The woman has not yet been formally identified but is believed to be 49-year-old Pia Davida Farrenkopf, the last owner of the house.



She was found clothed in a heavy jacket and jeans, which led investigators to suspect that she died in the winter, according to the Detroit Free Press.



The key was in the ignition, but switched to the off mode, according to Undersheriff Mike McCabe.



The death is being treated as a homicide at this time, and police say suicide by carbon monoxide is the likely cause.



Medical examiners hopes to find dental records to formally identify the corpse.



It is thought that the woman stopped working as a contractor in the financial department of the Chrysler car firm in 2008, when set up direct debit payments from her bank which at one time contained $54,000.



"It is kind of the perfect storm for a mysterious set of circumstance and a challenge because of the extreme degradation of the body," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.



"The last withdrawal from her account was in March 2013," he added.



Edward Caroll, who married Farrenkopf's late mother three years ago, told local broadcaster WXYZ that Ms Farrenkopf was estranged from her family and did not answer her invitation to the wedding.



"I tried to find her through the Internet and everything and I never could find her.  And I wrote a letter a couple times and I think some of them came back. Her mother hadn't heard from her for years and years," he said.



Neighbours said the woman had family in Germany and would be gone for days or weeks at a time. When she was back home, she kept to herself, WXYZ reported.



"Nobody came over there to check on the lady. It's weird. And it's actually scary," a neighbour who wished to remain anonymous told the local TV station.

Penis cut off in attack in Middlesbrough The man was found at the side of the A66 in the early hours
A man has been found by the side of a road with his penis cut off.

The 40-year-old, from the South Bank area of Teesside, was discovered on the A66 in the early hours "in a distressed state" with wounds to his groin after the attack.

The road, from Greystones Roundabout to Church Lane in Middlesbrough, was shut earlier while searches of the area were carried out. It has now reopened.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and later bailed.

Cleveland Police said the injured man had been placed in an induced coma in hospital.

The force said in a statement: "Police can confirm that the man found this morning on the A66 had wounds to his groin area.

"Officers are continuing to investigate and are appealing for anyone with information to contact them."

Stun gun used by Derry man 'for back pain'A barrister has told a court his client used a high-powered stun gun on himself to try to alleviate chronic back pains he has suffered for years.

Hugh Brolly, 56, from Old City Court in the Brandywell area of Londonderry, appeared at the city's magistrates court on Wednesday.

He pleaded guilty to possessing the stun gun, contrary to the 2004 firearms act.

Brolly was stopped at a police checkpoint on 19 July 2013.

Inside his car, police found a box that contained a K95 stun gun.

He was arrested and during a police interview admitted possessing the weapon.



His lawyer said Brolly did "not have a propensity for violent conduct nor had he been engaged in any illegal activity in relation to the stun gun".

"On the face of it his explanation may seem bizarre to say the least," he said.

"However it transpired that he has had significant back problems for a number of years.

"Through research he learnt that the injection or generation of an electrical pulse into his ceased back muscles created an alleviation of the pain.
"While it does sound bizarre, he has used this device as an unorthodox method of pain relief for his ongoing and significant back problems."

Judge Barney McElholm said that the K95 stun gun was, according to a forensic report, a high-powered weapon that discharged between 12,000 and 18,000 volts.

He said that while muscle spasms could be treated by the use of muscle activators, it was not advisable to use a stun gun for that purpose.

He imposed a fine of £750 and ordered the destruction of the stun gun.

Brolly, who has 18 previous convictions and receives £1,100 in benefits per month, was given six months to pay the fine.

Somebody trying to get into Trinity without going through the CAO

(http://img.rasset.ie/0008bb6c-642.jpg)

A man has been arrested after the gates of Trinity College Dublin were damaged when a car crashed through them this morning.

The car drove through the front gate following a cleaning van that was entering the college, according to a statement from Trinity.

Security staff from the college pursued the car, which was then driven back towards the front gate.
The car rammed the gates, which had been closed by security, a number of times before breaking through.
It was then driven up Dawson Street where a number of other cars were damaged.
The car was stopped by gardaí and a 68-year-old man was arrested.
He is being held at Store Street Garda Station

Pakistan: Nine-month-old boy accused of planning murder
By News from Elsewhere...
...media reports from around the world, found by BBC Monitoring
4 April 2014 Last updated at 12:25

A nine-month-old boy has appeared in court in Pakistan on charges of planning a murder, threatening police and interfering in state affairs, it appears.

Baby Muhammad Mosa Khan is one of more than 30 people facing charges after a police raid to catch suspected gas thieves in the city of Lahore, The News website reports. Police say the suspects tried to murder security officers by pelting them with stones. But the Times of India newspaper quotes the infant's father as saying the group was protesting against an electricity shortage.

The infant appeared in the courtroom sitting on his father's lap and clasping a bottle. He was given bail and the case has been adjourned until 12 April, reports from Lahore say. His father is also among the accused.

The murder charges against a baby have alarmed Punjab's Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. He has asked for clarification from the province's inspector-general of police and demanded "stern action" against the officials who registered the case.

The assistant superintendant who filed the charges has subsequently been suspended, The Nation website says.

Several years ago I was working on a project in Bristol. We were the software side of the equation, but there was a huge building element as well as new schools were built or older schools got a serious facelift. Some of the schools were absolutely beautiful. But I remember being stunned when the airport security turnstiles went in to one of them, as people were bringing weapons into school. They also had a full time police officer. And this school was getting the best of everything in the new build. IT out its ears and sports facilities that would make UL weep.

Such a mistake to make.

A LEADER of the Ku Klux Klan in the US was arrested for having sex with a cross-dressing black man, it has been revealed.


Frazier Glenn Miller, who stands accused of killing three people outside a Jewish centre in Kansas earlier this month, was arrested in the 1980s.

The former KKK 'Grand Dragon', is accused of killing a doctor, his teenage grandson and a mother of three, earlier this month.

However according to ABC news Miller was caught by officers with his trousers down in the back seat of a car engaged in a sex act with a black male prostitute who was dressed as a woman in 1987.

Miller is a self-proclaimed 'white supremacist, anti-Semite and anti-homosexual'.

Douglas McCullough, who in 1987 prosecuted Miller on charges of possessing hand grenades and mailing a threatening communication, told the Kansas City star about the arrest.

"It was a male prostitute in a vehicle, and it was a Raleigh Police Department incident report," he said.

"I don't know if they actually took him into custody or just did an incident report about it because the police knew who he was," McCullough said.

"But I'm quite sure it was never prosecuted or anything like that."

Miller was never prosecuted for the incident.

Not disputing they were together, they may have had some drink taken, but the girl was talking fairly normally (albeit with a horrible south-side accent) outside the shop. She certainly wasn't incoherent with drink.

Mohamed Al Fayed: Removing Jacko statue to blame for Fulham's relegation rte.ie

Manager Felix Magath laid the blame for relegation at the feet of Fulham's players for a lack of fighting spirit.

Cottagers fans expressed theories ranging from a lurch through three different bosses to the unwillingness of new owner Shahid Khan to splash the cash.

But Khan's flamboyant predecessor Mohamed Al Fayed is convinced he knows the real reason why Fulham's 14-year stay in the Barclays Premier League came to an end last Saturday.

Al Fayed told Press Association Sport he believes the Cottagers would still be in the top flight if Khan had not made the 'Bad' decision to have the 7ft 6ins sculpture of Michael Jackson removed from outside Craven Cottage last November.

Al Fayed was speaking as he formally presented the statue of the late singer to the National Football Museum in Manchester, where it will stand proudly on a first-floor mezzanine.

He said: "This statue was a charm and we removed the luck from the club and now we have to pay the price.

"When (Khan) asked me to move it I said, 'you must be crazy'. This is such a fantastic statue which the fans are crying out for.

"But now he has paid the price because the club has been relegated. He called me because he told me he wanted Michael to return. I told him, no way."

The much-mocked statue was commissioned by Al Fayed and installed at the back of the Hammersmith Stand in 2011.

Al Fayed was a friend of Jackson and the singer even paid a visit to Craven Cottage when he attended a match between Fulham and Wigan in 1999.

But following Al Fayed's decision to sell the club to Indian tycoon Khan, he was told it was surplus to requirements and would have to be removed.

Speaking about its presentation to the National Football Museum, Al Fayed added: "This is a great place visited by thousands of people and I am very proud to present them with one of the greatest artists and singers in the world.

"Michael is a fantastic example for everyone. He came from nowhere and showed fantastic determination to be a superstar and I am very glad that he is now in this great institution for people to enjoy."

Loyalist granted bail to appear on Jeremy Kyle Show



A loyalist accused of disorderly and threatening behaviour was granted bail on Wednesday in a Belfast court so he can appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show.

Frederick Boyd asked the high court in the city to free him so he could take a lie detector test on the ITV programme.

The 22-year-old appeared in court charged with disorderly behaviour after waving a union flag and shouting obscenities outside Belfast city hall in January. Specifically: "No surrender. f**k the pope and up the Shankill."

Boyd also faces charges of assault and possession of an offensive weapon with intent after threatening a businessman in Newtownards, County Down this year.

Boyd's legal team applied for his release from jail because they said he had been targeted in connection with something else and beaten up in prison. They said their client wanted to appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show, take part in a lie detector test and clear his name in relation to allegations unrelated to the disorderly behaviour.

"He tells me one of the reasons he's desperate to be released on bail is that he's determined to try and take a lie detector test," his lawyer said in the crown court in Belfast on Wednesday. "He thinks the best way to do that is on the Jeremy Kyle TV show," he said.

The judge asked Boyd's lawyers if this show was similar to the Stephen Nolan Show, the BBC Northern Ireland TV programme hosted by the Radio 5 Live talk show presenter.

Boyd replied that the Jeremy Kyle Show was "more extreme" to which the judge commented: "I can't for a minute imagine that."

Granting strict bail conditions the judge ordered electronic tagging after Boyd asked him to include this to ensure police could not accuse him of any breach. He was also ordered to stay out of the centre of Newtonards.

Directing the accused to seek medical help within three days, the judge added: "You're only 22 years of age and you look about 45. You can't go on like this. You have to get your life sorted out."

Quote
Gardai are investigating vandalism to the Lia Fail Standing Stone at the top of the Hill of Tara in County Meath.

Members of An Garda Siochana are understood to be carrying out a forensic examination of the site after paint was poured over the stone sometime overnight.

At least half of the five thousand-year-old granite has been covered by the paint.

Tourist guides at the ancient site discovered it had been vandalised when they arrived to work this morning.

It is not the first incident of vandalism at the monument, it had been previously damaged in 2012 when it was believed to have been struck with a hammer or similar instrument.

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Jimmy Deenihan condemned the incident to the iconic stone.

"This act of mindless vandalism, on one of our premier archaeological sites, is truly shameful," he said.

"The national monuments at Tara, which include this standing stone, form part of our national heritage and history.


"Not only are they cherished here in Ireland, they are also nationally and internationally renowned.

"I call for anyone with any information about who may have been responsible to inform the Gardai," he added.

The Lia Fáil Stone features extensively in ancient texts.

The granite stone is associated with the inauguration rites for the Kings of Tara and was moved to its current position in the early nineteenth century.

Jeremy Kyle Show lie detector test applicant convicted
Belfast court
A man who wanted out of prison to take a lie detector test on the Jeremy Kyle Show has been convicted of shouting sectarian slogans in Belfast.

Frederick Boyd, 22, formerly of Mark Street in Newtownards, County Down, failed to turn up for his case.

But a judge ruled there was enough evidence to find him guilty of disorderly behaviour and doing a provocative act.

A warrant was issued to have him arrested and brought to court.

During a previous bail hearing, prosecutors said he scaled a pillar at the front of Belfast City Hall on 23 January while draped in union flags and shouted obscenities at passers-by.

Boyd claimed loyalist paramilitaries had put a gun to his head and told him to do it.

At that hearing, it was claimed both Boyd and his grandmother had suffered beatings at the hands of paramilitaries.

He was allegedly further targeted and injured while in custody over an unconnected incident.

Bail
The court was told he was desperate to get out of prison so he could clear his name on those allegations by taking a lie detector test on Jeremy Kyle daytime television chat show.

Boyd had been granted bail last week on condition that his grandmother moved in with him at his new address in Larne.

But as the contested hearing on the City Hall charges was called on Friday, the defence counsel confirmed his client was not present.

"There was some sort of incident last night at his bail address, a fire was started outside the premises," the barrister said.

"He's been subject to paramilitary attacks in the past, but I'm not in a position to say if this was a life-threatening incident."

A prosecution lawyer pressed for the case to proceed in his absence.

CCTV footage and witness statements were available, she said.

After studying the material, District Judge Rosie Watters confirmed: "There will be a conviction in relation to each of the offences."

She then ordered a warrant to have Boyd arrested.

David Truscott (43) repeatedly rolled around naked in cow slurry and developed an obsession with a farm in Redruth, Cornwall.

Exeter Crown Court heard that Truscott, formerly of Camborne, Cornwall, targeted the property over an eight-year period to indulge in his bizarre fetish.

This carjacking craze is getting out of hand in dublin.This must be the 3rd or 4th case of it in recent weeks.
Maybe this will put a stop to it.

A man in his 20s has died following the hijacking of a taxi in the south inner city of Dublin.
The car was forcibly taken from its driver by two men this morning.
The taxi driver was assaulted before being forced out of his car in the Oliver Bond area at about 8.30am.
The taxi later crashed into a pole in the James's Street area and narrowly avoided an oncoming vehicle.
One of the men, a passenger in the car, was taken to St James's Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

For seven days, more than 200 people have battled round the clock to save a seriously injured caver trapped 3,200 feet below the ground, in what is set to become the most expensive rescue operation in German history.
Yesterday the long, dangerous journey to bring the injured 52-year-old back to the surface was finally under way, but rescuers are warning it will take another full week to transport him up through a dizzying series of tunnels and shafts, before he sees the daylight again.
Johann Westhauser has lain in the icy dark beneath the Bavarian Alps while doctors struggled to reach him and assess his condition. Now a team of 14 rescuers accompanied by a doctor must carry him on a stretcher more than three miles underground. They must cross underground lakes by dinghy, climb 1,000 feet vertical shafts by rope, fight their way past underground waterfalls and squeeze through tiny bottlenecks.
At one point they will somehow have to negotiate Mr Westhauser's stretcher through a passage so narrow an average-sized man has to double over and exhale in order to squeeze past. Along the way, they will face near freezing temperatures and cave winds, and a constant danger of flooding.
The journey would take a professional caver more than ten hours under ideal conditions – and they must do all this while carrying a man with a serious brain injury, who needs to be kept lying flat as much as possible.

It's called psychopathic behaviour. It's always been prevalent present in society. Psychopaths have no empathy for other beings and inflict suffering without compunction. There also seems to be some type of group psychopathy (the mob principle) whereby people in groups commit atrocities they wouldn't as individuals.

I don't know whether it's any more or less prevalent now than in any other period of history, though I'm inclined to think less.

"Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding."

If you happen to look this quote up, you'll see it attributed to notoriously sweet 90-year-old TV great Betty White. Only those words never passed her lips, and she'd quite like people to bear that in mind next time they see fit to quote it at her, as I have just done. "That's what I hate about Facebook and the internet," she sighs. "They can say you said anything. I never would have said that. I'd never say that in a million years."

We all know US law is suspect, but so are biased websites.

What makes you believe she was shooting in self defence, and only as warning shots?

I googled it and apparently she went to the garage, got a gun out of the car, came back in to the kitchen, aimed in the direction of the husband and children, said 'I've got something for your ass', and fired, narrowly missing his head.

I thought that too in fairness. The Law is an ass, but there had to be some reason for the prosecutor looking to go after this. In fairness if she'd hit them, we'd be talking about harsher penalties and gun crime in the states.

Muppet, I think you're way off base here. (seeing as how we are talking about America I'll use that phrase :) ). You are taking her word that she was shooting in self defense, but that's highly in question and in fact was rejected originally by the courts. She did, at least, shoot in the 'direction' of her ex- and his kids.

The other langer seems to have just gone out into his back yard, in a remote area and fired his rifle down an open field. There's no comparison really.

Muppet. Did you read what those 'warning shots' actually were? Going out to the garage, getting a gun, coming back in and firing at your husband and children, narrowly missing his head, is quite a 'self-defence warning shot'

Firing a gun isnt a crime, firing a gun at people, is. Do you think thats unreasonable?

The self defense angle has to be suspect. Unless it's cumulative self defense if her husband was abusing her. However, from the court documents of the case (according to Wiki :) )

Alexander and Gray engaged in an argument in the master bathroom. Grey returned to the kitchen where his children were eating breakfast. Alexander went into Grey's garage, where her car was parked. From the Duval County, Florida, court document:

"The Defendant then retrieved the firearm from the glove box of the vehicle. The Defendant then returned to the kitchen with the firearm in her hand and pointed it in the direction of all three Victims. [Grey] put his hands in the air. Defendant shot at [Grey], nearly missing his head."[6] According to an email sent by Corey, Alexander told the defendant "I've got something for your ass" before shooting.[7]
Alexander's shot hit the wall and deflected into the ceiling, injuring no one.[8]

Marissa Alexander Now Faces 60 Years in Prison for Firing a Warning Shot in Self Defense

Compare that with: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/glenn-beck-radio-show-chris-mcdaniel-rifle (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/glenn-beck-radio-show-chris-mcdaniel-rifle)

Compare a guy going outside to shoot a rifle in the air with a woman shooting it at a person?

Compare the ludicrous overreaction to a woman firing 'warning shots' in one's home, to the other firing for 'Stress release on the ranch. That's how we do it out west! Both fired on their own property, both arguably for stress relief. One of the two was genuinely threatened, but she gets 60 years.

Muppet. Did you read what those 'warning shots' actually were? Going out to the garage, getting a gun, coming back in and firing at your husband and children, narrowly missing his head, is quite a 'self-defence warning shot'

In fairness I have only just read that which does change things.

It appears that it happened in his house as well rather than her own.

However the real story seems to be regarding the prosecutor. They offered a 3 year sentence in a deal which was rejected. They got 20 years in court which was thrown out on appeal and now the prosecutor wants 60 years. Given that the woman had a restraining order and that it was first offence that still seems ludicrous to me.

And as for Glenn Beck, I just hate the likes of him and Coulter and Hannity etc.

It certainly looks like the prosecutor has a hard on (figuratively) for this woman, and she's getting a lot of heat for it.

The self defense angle has to be suspect. Unless it's cumulative self defense if her husband was abusing her. However, from the court documents of the case (according to Wiki :) )

Alexander and Gray engaged in an argument in the master bathroom. Grey returned to the kitchen where his children were eating breakfast. Alexander went into Grey's garage, where her car was parked. From the Duval County, Florida, court document:

"The Defendant then retrieved the firearm from the glove box of the vehicle. The Defendant then returned to the kitchen with the firearm in her hand and pointed it in the direction of all three Victims. [Grey] put his hands in the air. Defendant shot at [Grey], nearly missing his head."[6] According to an email sent by Corey, Alexander told the defendant "I've got something for your ass" before shooting.[7]
Alexander's shot hit the wall and deflected into the ceiling, injuring no one.[8]

I wonder is this really in the court documents :D Nearly missing his head. So she hit him then? :D

Bad Judgement (by the defendant)

This woman went to her partners house, went back to her car and got a gun, returned to the room where her partner and his children (not her children) were located & fired the weapon. The bullet narrowly missed her partner and deflected into the ceiling. She was offered a plea bargain of 3 years & decided to gamble with a jury instead and got 20 years. She appealed (gambled again) and gets 60 years.

Getting back to the original offense, how much sympathy would she attract if the deflected bullet had hit one of the children?

Bad judgement at every stage by the defendant. Her colour & gender are not a defense, but are being used by interested parties for political gains.

Shocking stuff and I says to the missus jokingly "he's driving like a getaway driver". Next I see blue lights in the rear view mirror - Gardai motorbike, 2 cars and a 4x4 then a helicopter arrives overhead tracking the car  :o.

That's unbelievable. What sort of people are these? That the great unwashed loyalist masses seem to seethe with xenophobia and racism is bad enough. Privileged professional sports people behaving like this is staggering. Can you imagine any other group of professional sportsmen pulling a stunt like this anywhere in the world? Except maybe in South Africa. And maybe thirty years ago?

It does point up the impression that there's something about the Ulster/South Africa rugby nexus that's vaguely odd. There seem to be more (white) South Africans per square metre in Ravenhill than in any other European club. Is that a coincidence, given that Unionists and White South Africans have often been compared and found to have similarities in attitude, not least to minorities in their own country/statelet?

Other rugby clubs don't seem to provide a centre around which people of like religious views coagulate, for instance. And I don't know any other rugby group that holds prayer meetings. All of that and this crass mockery combine to create an uncomfortable feeling.

The tobacco company has said they will appeal this and I would assume they will drag it out through the appeal courts for years so they never have to pay out that amount. But for me the WTF is they can use that "potential liability" of $23bn to reduce their tax liability so the longer they drag it out the better off they are and the poorer the American tax payer.

British businesses have poor knowledge of where their products were sourced from and how they were made, making it likely that some imported goods have involved the use of slaves, a purchasing managers' organisation has said.
High quality global journalism requires investment.

According to the International Labour Organisation, about 21m men, women and children are slaves. This includes involuntary domestic servitude, bonded labour where employers exploit an initial debt to make people work for free, forced child labour, and adults coerced, forced or deceived into prostitution.

It's all happening in Armagh these days:

Armagh man unhappy that his neighbour has been prescribed a rooster by doctor

We've heard of the saying that the doctor is a quack, but we've never heard anything about a c**k being involved.

A man in Lurgan, Armagh is having a bit of trouble getting a lie in these days after his neighbour was prescribed a rooster by his doctor.

In an interview with The Lurgan Mail, he stated that he was not only a bit confused about the prescription, but that "the constant c**k-a-doodle-doo" was a bit too much in a built-up area, and was beginning to cause a problem.

It seems that the man was prescribed the rooster by his psychiatrist, and while the aggrieved resident is fully understanding of his neighbour's condition, he's not sure why the rooster seemed to be the answer to the problem.

"It appears the owner of the rooster has had slight issues with his mental well being. I am not criticising the owner as everyone of us has our own issues whether mental or physical," he told the paper, "[but] the point is, no matter what your medical condition, a doctor should not be prescribing farm animals as a cure for your illness".

He also claimed that other neighbours have also noted the noise, and that it was "unbearable and so frustrating."

Cemetery 'Ghost' Fined For Shouting 'Woooo'


A man admits behaving in a way that was likely to cause distress after witnesses saw him pretending to be a phantom in a cemetery.

A man who pretended to be a ghost while behaving in a "rowdy" way in a cemetery has been fined.

Anthony Stallard of Southsea, Hampshire, has been ordered to pay £35 after throwing his arms in the air and shouting: "Woooooo."

Portsmouth Magistrates' Court heard that Stallard had been out drinking with friends when they went to Portsmouth's Kingston Cemetery where they played football.

Hampshire police said a number of witnesses made a complaint that Stallard had acted rowdily and pretended to be a spooky apparition.

A spokesman said: "The witnesses reported the group engaging in rowdy behaviour and one of them throwing their arms in the air and saying 'woooooo'."

The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause distress.

Stallard was also ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £20 in costs.

The court heard that he had also breached the conditions of an earlier punishment when he had been charged with harassment.

As a result of that breach he had an extra three months added to his conditional charge, a spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Stallard had also been charged with causing criminal damage to the gravestones, but the charge was dismissed.

Woman teacher turns up drunk and NAKED from the waist down on first day at school

A woman teacher turned up drunk for her first day at school ... and missing her pants!

Lorie Ann Hill, 49, had been drinking vodka when she bowled through the doors of her county school at 9am intent on making a good impression.

But she was found by other teachers slumped over a desk in the wrong classroom, smelling strongly of alcohol and missing the lower half of her clothes.

She was bundled into a pair of shorts while police were called.

"She was found in a room kind of disoriented," said Police Chief Bob Haley in Wagoner, Oklahoma.

"But by the time we got there she was wearing shorts.

"The other teachers didn't know who she was. She was apparently new and was supposed to start the following day."

The nightmarish scene - it's a common fear many people have of turning up naked somewhere - happened on Monday when Hill admitted to Wagoner High School officials she was drinking vodka before work.

By the time police arrived, she was in the principal's office and someone had managed to find a pair of shorts for her to wear.

A search of her car turned up an empty cup that reportedly smelled of vodka but police cannot charge her with driving under the influence because they cannot prove she was drunk as she drove in.

But she was booked into Wagoner City Jail on suspicion of public intoxication. She was released Tuesday evening.

Parents are outraged by the teacher's behavior.

Frank Sandiford said: "I don't know, as an adult, I just don't know how you can be a professional teacher and teaching young people, and then show up drunk."

Quotehttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/aug/10/kellie-maloney-boxing-transgender (http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/aug/10/kellie-maloney-boxing-transgender)

Frank Maloney, the former boxing promoter who guided Lennox Lewis to the world heavyweight title, has revealed that he is undergoing gender reassignment and now lives as a woman called Kellie.

Maloney, 61, drew broad support from the boxing world after disclosing that she had undergone hormone therapy, hair removal electrolysis, voice coaching and specialist counselling for the past two years.

She told the Sunday Mirror: "I was born in the wrong body and I have always known I was a woman. I can't keep living in the shadows, that is why I am doing what I am today. Living with the burden any longer would have killed me.

"What was wrong at birth is now being medically corrected. I have a female brain. I knew I was different from the minute I could compare myself to other children. I wasn't in the right body. I was jealous of girls."


 
Maloney, who supported Lewis in his successful bid for the world heavyweight title in 1993, and managed other Commonwealth and European boxing champions, called time on his three-decade boxing career last October, saying he had fallen out of love with the sport.

In an interview across six pages in the Sunday Mirror, Maloney said she had never told anyone in boxing about how she felt trapped in the wrong body since childhood.

"Can you imagine me walking into a boxing hall dressed as a woman and putting an event on? I can imagine what they would scream at me, but if I had been in the theatre or arts world nobody would blink an eye about this transition," she said.

"The boxing community can think whatever they want about me now. I have come to terms with my transition but I don't understand it. I hope society will be open minded."

While some commentators thought Maloney's announcement might be a hoax, many more rallied round the retired promoter.

Lennox Lewis, who was guided by Maloney to become world heavyweight champion, released a statement saying: "This world we live in isn't always cut and dried or black and white, and coming from the boxing fraternity, I can only imagine what a difficult decision this must be for Kellie (formerly Frank Maloney).

"However, having taken some time to read Kellie's statements, I understand better what she, and others in similar situations, are going through. I think that all people should be allowed to live their lives in a way that brings them harmony and inner peace. I respect Kellie's decision and say that if this is what brings about true happiness in her life, than so be it."

Johnny Nelson, the Sky Sports pundit and former WBO cruiserweight champion, said on Twitter: "Frank Maloney, read your story. It's your life, don't make others stop who you are. Ignorance is the problem of others, not yours."

Former European boxing champion and Olympic bronze medallist Tony Jeffries, who was also managed by Maloney, expressed surprise at the news and added: "Fair play to him for coming out. #BeHappy #1Life".

Ricky Wright, one of boxing's chief announcers, said: "So far I've only read positive feedback for Frank and lots of support from the boxing world. Shows how far the sport has come."

The former footballer Stan Collymore added: "I wish Frank Maloney, now Kellie all the very best. Being who he wants to be after 61 years. Nobody deserves to begrudge him happiness."

Maloney, who has three children, told the Sunday Mirror that her marriage had been breaking down for some time and described the moment she told her wife Tracey.

"As the words started to come out I wanted to catch them and pull them back in. I looked at her face and I knew my marriage was over. She was the first person I had told outside counsellors. I could see what it was doing to her and I had to release her." The couple have since separated.

Maloney has been supported for the past year by the transgender group TG Pals. The group's managing director, Heather Ashton, told the Guardian that she only learned that her charge was formerly a famous boxing promoter when she accompanied Maloney to the Sunday Mirror interview.

"For anyone this is a life changing decision, psychologically and physically, and that can take a huge toll on a person," Ashton said.

"Kellie has confided to me that coming out and sharing her story will support and encourage others to make that first step to get help. The Kellie I know is a friendly but fairly reserved person, very confident within herself and it seems to have been a very positive decision.

"I think generally Kellie's had a positive response, which is what we were all hoping for. Someone like Kellie going public is a very brave and courageous decision because there are very many people out there who lack knowledge and awareness of what having a gender identity disorder really means."

Ashton said Maloney ran fitness classes for TG Pals and said the former boxing promoter planned to return in some way to public life by speaking in schools.

"She's always been very outspoken and vocal in her public life and she's hoping to use that to take her life forward and support other transgender people," she said.

actual quotes from wedding websites as compiled by the new yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/excerpts-wedding-web-sites-wedding-season)

ColinAndMaryTieTheBowTie.com:

DRESS CODE: Think Wes Anderson's characters as they'd dress if they were being interviewed by Howard Stern, and Teddy Roosevelt if he were displayed in a taxidermy museum, mixed with Audrey Hepburn as she appears in everything. Children are welcome to dress as their favorite woodland creature. Canines, come as you are. There will be red-velvet dog cookies.

For those of you currently practicing "free the nipple," we will supply robes for the ceremony.


PaulAndChrisBecomeOne.com:

We trust that the saplings we sent you two summers ago are now blossoming under your attention and care. We appreciate the time it took for you to sing Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" to them daily. We will be planting them during the reception in what will henceforth be called The Love Forest. (For a tree-hauling service near you, contact 1-800-BIG-HAUL)

SaraAndGabeJoinTheClub.com:

A short eight-hour drive from your lodgings is an air shuttle to the summit of Mount McKinley. Please grab an emergency protein bar before entering the Cessna. Because of the D.I.Y. nature of this affair, you may have to share an oxygen mask with your neighbor. (Remember: three breaths, then switch.) Update: Because of an avalanche that killed four tourists last week, we ask that you not make any quick or jerky movements during the ceremony.

FelixAndBettyMadeAWebsite.com:

We do not believe in weddings, as they are exclusive, unjust, and essentially a means of societal and governmental control. In order to take back ownership of our relationship, we are supplying you with a new lexicon to use at our nuptials complicitous gaining of a life partner:

It's terrible but I wouldn't say the guy is necessarily evil. He sounds severely mentally ill to me. I think evil involves being calculating. There was a case in China recently of a 6 year old's eyes being gouged out by black market organ traffickers, who wanted his corneas to sell for profit. Now that's evil. This is a link to the story but I wouldn't advise anyone to watch it.

Yo soars in Apple app store rankings

By Hannah Kuchler and Tim Bradshaw in San FranciscoAuthor alerts
Yo, the messaging app so simple it just says "Yo", has soared past Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to become the fifth most popular app in the US Apple app store in the last week, grabbing the attention of venture capitalists, hackers and comedians.
©Yo
The app – where users press on a contact's name to send a "yo!" - has become the talk of Silicon Valley as it takes mobile messaging to its logical, minimalist extreme.
Almost 4m Yos were sent in one day on Thursday. The recipient gets a notification that says "yo!" and who it is from. One Yo! account promises to notify a user whenever a goal is scored in the World Cup.
Or Arbel, Yo's founder and chief executive, has raised $1m to finance the growth of the Yo app from an angel investor who originally came up with the idea as a way to summon his assistant.

But some defended the app, with Marc Andreessen, a venture capitalist who sits on Facebook's board, tweeting: "there's a fascinating aspect lots of people are missing".
"Yo is an instance of 'one-bit communication' – a message with no content other than the fact that it exists," he added. "Yes or no. Yo or no yo."
<!--.-->
Mr Andreessen compared it to a police siren, the light on the top of the taxi cab and people who "miss call" each other in emerging markets to alert people to something at no cost.

If you ever overstayed a J1 you can find yourself getting a night in a cell when you try to re-enter The States (note: this won't happen in Dub/Snn with pre-clearance as they will simply leave you in Ireland). For something like the video shows, I would stay a long way away from American soil if I were those imbeciles. Stupidly they have probably ruled out a number of prospective Irish/International  employers as well, as many people travel around the world with work.

Though I suspect those lads won't be doing much in life.

Title: Castleblaney's car manufacturing industry!

The Shamrock: The flash and sleek Irish car that never got out of first gear
Damian Corless
Published 21/09/2014 | 02:30


The Shamrock: 'A small car wearing a big American car costume,' according to one US critic
One of the world's most collectable motor cars, albeit for all the wrong reasons, is The Shamrock, which began production in Castleblaney, Co Monaghan 55 years ago.

According to The Complete Catalogue of British Cars published in the early 1960s: "The Shamrock car was a Spike Rhiando design based on the Austin A55 engine and other components. A factory in Tralee had been acquired for the production of this glass-fibre bodied car in 1959 but only a handful were produced."

Alvin 'Spike' Rhiando was something of an international man of mystery. First making his name in the 1930s as a star of the speedway track, he was initially billed on posters and fliers as an Italian. Depending on where his globetrotting took him, he later added American and Canadian to his list of nationalities, while some enemies put about the story that he was actually a Deptford lad from south London chancing his arm, or to put it precisely "a Londoner with a touch of showmanship".

The school of thought that believed Rhiando was making himself up as he went along was bolstered by a series of ripping yarns he wrote in 1939 for the sporty Topical Times magazine.

In these pieces, Spike gave gripping accounts of his multi-crash escapades racing cars in the United States. Relating one hair-raising incident, he claimed that after being hurled from the cockpit of his car, he picked himself up, made some quick running repairs to the badly damaged vehicle and fought his way back to a third-place finish in the 80-lap race.

Other tall tales featured his stints as a motorbike rider on the wall of death and as a fearless wing-walker with Red Herman's flying circus, and stories of how he had become pally with superstars such as Jimmy Cagney and Mae West during his time as a top Hollywood stuntman.

As proof of his real mettle, he recounted his adventures running guns around the Sahara in the 1930s until he was captured by tribesmen and had to be rescued by the French Foreign Legion.

Suspiciously, two decades later, in 1953, Spike told Motor Cycling magazine that he'd recently been road-testing a new design of glass-fibre motorbike sidecar and had broken down in the Sahara desert, which necessitated his rescue by the French Foreign Legion. He later changed the identity of his rescuers to a team of French geologists.

For all his fanciful talk, there remains no doubt that he was an accomplished and celebrated racer.

The years immediately before the outbreak of World War II were the heyday of the short-lived fad of midget car racing, and Rhiando was one of its stars.

His efforts to revive midget racing fell flat in the post-war period and he turned his hand to speeding 500cc cars around the circuits at Goodwood and Silverstone where he pitted his skills against the legendary Stirling Moss. In Ireland, a midget car revival did take place in the post-war years, with one meeting at Santry Speedway attracting 6,000 people in 1948. Midget cars were hand-built using motorbike engines.

By the late 1950s, with his racing days all but behind him, Spike was brought on board an enterprise to build a big, luxury car in Ireland for the American market. The Shamrock was the brainchild of US businessmen William K Curtis and James Conway. Curtis and Conway established a company, Shamrock Motors Ltd, and earmarked a factory in Tralee, Co Kerry, as the production centre. Teething problems quickly set in, however, and the whole project was transferred to Castleblaney in Monaghan.

Early on it became blindingly obvious that, for all his undoubted prowess on the track, Spike Rhiando hadn't a clue about how to design a proper car. The proportions were all wrong, leading one commentator to describe the Shamrock as looking more "like a parade float than a car". The fibre-glass body had colossal overhangs front, rear and sides with the unfortunate upshot that if the vehicle got a puncture the rear wheels couldn't be changed without the messy business of dislocating the rear axle.

Perhaps worst of all in a vehicle designed to take on the big American gas guzzlers, the Austin A55 engine was far too puny to carry its heavy frame at any respectable speed. In the words of one US critic, the Shamrock looked "like a small English car wearing a big American car costume".

As production pressed ahead in Castleblaney, the owners talked about rolling out 3,000 Shamrocks in the first year on their way to a total run of 10,000. In the event, as few as eight or 10 finished articles emerged before cash-flow problems and negative publicity slammed the brakes on the project.

Some reports allege that after the factory shut its doors the unused parts were transported the short distance to Lake Muckno where to this day they sleep with the fishes. Alvin 'Spike' Rhiando reportedly died in Ireland in 1975. His granddaughter Romayne spoke for more than herself when she said: "Spike died leaving behind many unsolved mysteries which I would love to piece together."

Scary sh*t. And with 100,000 dead in the last 7 years, it's amazing we don't hear more about this.

http://m.rte.ie/news/2014/1006/650273-mexico/

Missing students are believed to be among charred corpses found in mass graves in southwest Mexico and local security officials are suspected of conspiring with gang members to kill them, authorities have said.

Several investigators said they feared the victims included some of a group of dozens of students who went missing after they clashed with police in Iguala in the volatile state of Guerrero on the night of 26 September.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, local officials said that at least 34 bodies had been buried at the site.

Guerrero state Attorney General Inaky Blanco said 28 bodies had been recovered so far, some complete and some in pieces.

He said "it is probable" that some of the missing students are among the remains found in the graves.

The prosecutor added that two gang hitmen have admitted killing 17 of the 43 missing students with the help of security officials.

While federal investigators, police and the army continued to pull human remains out of the plot of broken land on the outskirts of the city of Iguala, families of missing students demanded information on the whereabouts of their loved ones.

At the college east of the state capital of Chilpancingo, where the students are from, there was anger and despair over their fate and anxious relatives blamed President Enrique Pena Nieto for what had happened.

"Things are going from bad to worse," said a woman who identified herself as Anayeli, whose 20-year-old brother was among the missing.

"Supposedly Pena Nieto isn't involved, but this is happening right under his nose. He's involved in all of this."

As dogs wandered about a rough dirt track petering out into the sierra, security officials said they believed the victims had been driven to the end of the track, walked up the hillside, executed and buried in six graves.

Mr Blanco told reporters that bodies were set on fire after being heaped on top of branches which were likely doused with petrol or diesel.

He said that 29 suspects have been identified so far, 26 of whom have been arrested, including Felipe Flores, the head of security for Iguala.


Mr Blanco said local police had been infiltrated by a criminal gang known as the Guerreros Unidos, and that Mr Flores had conspired with a gang leader to order the killings.

He added that Francisco Salgado, Mr Flores's deputy, also ordered the police to detain the students and has gone missing.

Police are suspected of abducting some of the students, a local security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"You really can't call them police," the state security official said.

Suspected gang members had told investigators that police had handed over the students to the people who killed them, who belonged to the gang, he added.

The suspected gang members had also helped the authorities identify the site, he said.

However, the state government said it could be days before the identities of the dead are known.

Soldiers and police had cordoned off the dirt track where it ended not far from the graves, which lay about a 40-minute walk across rocky terrain inaccessible by vehicle.

The fugitive mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, is also being investigated for possible involvement in the crimes, Mr Blanco said.

Twenty two police officers have been arrested in connection with the 26 September violence, which claimed the lives of at least six people and left 25 injured.

The graves have created a major headache for Mr Pena Nieto, who took office two years ago pledging to end a wave of gang-related violence that has killed around 100,000 people since the start of 2007.

Though homicides have fallen on his watch, other crimes have increased, including extortion and kidnapping.

Over the past few days, Mr Pena Nieto's record on law and order has taken a number of blows, including the killing of a federal congressman and news that soldiers are believed to have summarily executed a group of suspected gang members earlier this year.

Information leading to the discovery of the graves had in part come from the interrogation of local police arrested after the clashes in Iguala, the security official said.

Guerrero state, home to Iguala and the resort of Acapulco, has been one of the most lawless in the country for years.

Reading an article on facebook (must be true) commenting that the Twaddell camp, costs £40,000 to police per night. It didn't mention a figure for full day. But thats a hell of a lot of money. About a Wayne Rooney a week.

Living across the water I don't understand a few things:
- Do they OO try and march each night?
- Is there always someone at the camp? In my mind I'm imagining a small Glastonbury.
- How long has this been going on?
- What is the problem with letting them march? (is it one upmanship?)
- What to the local's on both sides think?

I respect the people at the camp for sticking at it for so long, it must be hard for them to keep going.

To my knowledge

-No
-More the caravan in Fr Ted
-Last summer
-Parades commission considers marches, bans some, allows others. This one was banned. Let them march and the only control over marches will have been rendered impotent.
-What do you think?

Its not at all hard for them to keep going. They don't live there ffs, they just call round for a few hours at a time, take a few cans, eat some tayto.

DUBLIN'S SÉAN O'CASEY Bridge, which has been unable to open to shipping for the past four years, was finally re-opened in the past few weeks after experts created a new remote control for the structure.

That operation is controlled by a hand-held remote device — but, as TheJournal.ie reported last year — that device went missing some years ago, meaning openings were no longer possible.

The committee is still trying to decide. Apparently there are a number of issues with the sofa. The Bridging Regulator says the sofa is fully complaint with all regulations, but the sofa is owned by Quan Shinn, mortgaged to Banglo-Irish in Gibraltar and is currently located in Vladimir Putins sitting room. Thus there is a problem with jurisdiction and Pistu, the union representing the man whose job it is to look for the remote, says he can't be expected to look for it without having seen it first. In a statement Pistu said 'what if he picks up a poisonous spider, thinking it was the remote. Then where would we be. It could start a pandemic!'

BENI Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) - A crowd stoned to death a young man in northeast Congo on Friday before burning and eating his corpse, witnesses said, in apparent revenge for a series of attacks by Ugandan rebels.

The incident in the town of Beni followed a number of overnight raids in the area blamed on the Islamist group ADF-NAUL, who are thought to have massacred more than 100 people this month, using hatchets and machetes to kill their victims.

Witnesses said the man, who has not been identified, aroused suspicion on a bus when passengers discovered he could not speak the local Swahili language and that he was carrying a machete.

Man lands £7,500 lap dancing bill
Last updated 44 minutes ago


Councillor David Smith said efforts by the man to recoup some of his money from Spearmint Rhino had so far been unsuccessful
A councillor in Bournemouth has said a lap dancing club took advantage of a man from Northern Ireland who ended up with bill for £7,500.

The man, who did not want to give his name, visited the Spearmint Rhino club in Bournemouth during a stag weekend.

He admits he was drunk while visiting the club, but said that they exploited him when he was in a vulnerable state.

Councillor David Smith said efforts by the man to recoup some of his money had so far been unsuccessful.

"He is clearly annoyed about the way he was treated when he went into the club," he said.

"This was some 15 months ago and he got quite inebriated and he admits that he had far too much to drink and he went in there and he seemed to get separated from his friends and then the exploitation took over."

Mr Smith explained how the man ended up £7,500 out-of-pocket.

"The way it works is a bit like a casino because when you go in and once you decide you want some fun with the girls as it were, you buy chips, I think they call them Rhino chips, so you sign your credit card and they bring you chips and when the girls perform their acts upon you, or whatever it is they do, you pay them with chips," he said.

Foolish
"It seems they kept bringing him the credit card machine to sign and they kept giving him chips and he kept handing them over to the girls and in the course of doing that they went through two or three of his credit cards and took seven and a half thousand pounds in the process.

The councillor said the man acknowledged that he had been foolish.

"He admits that he is foolish, but there is also I think a duty of care by any establishment in any walk of life that you don't take advantage of vulnerable people and in the state he was in, he was clearly vulnerable. One could argue they should have known better than to do that."

Mr Smith said the man had chosen to remain anonymous because he had a "fairly good job" in Northern Ireland and did not want to be embarrassed by his friends or work colleagues.

"Since this case has been highlighted in the press, at least two other people have come forward to say exactly the same," Mr Smith added.

The BBC contacted Spearmint Rhino in Bournemouth, but no-one answered the phone, so they were unable to get any response from them.

Check this out. A Purviance pyramid gets rid of chemtrails which, as we all know, are not water vapour, as the evil scientists would have you believe, but biological agents being crop-dusted over us to keep us under control.

It also prevents man-made earthquakes (I bet you didn't even know about them) and has other powers too - it's healing the Fukushima region right now.

Not only all that, but it's effective against scalar weapon (HAARP) attacks. I don't know what they are - I only have so much time to work all this stuff out for you - but you'll know them if you see them, because apparently they look like antennas like HAARP, and also the Purviance Pyramid!

It's all here (http://purviancepyramid.net/index.html).

And it definitely works on the chemtrails - see the proof at 6:35-6:45 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_PMT8lTQg&list=UUtn80MrLweK-ANZBeXCGg7A).

I just built one of these this afternoon but it doesn't seem to work, unless of course it is exclusively for ending droughts. Any ideas?

I set it up in the back bedroom using a cycling machine, as my normal bike has been sabotaged by purveyors of chemtrails via their usual tactic of punturosis. Anyway when I engage the cycling machine/purviance pyramid things seem ok for a while (i.e. no tornados or hurricanes) until suddenly this vortex appears and a voice tells me to 'cop the f*ck on with yourself and gimme back my mops'. Does this happen anyone else and does anyone know what it can mean?

This sounds very like the other Fi Fa- Fianna Fail

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/391e3272-6b17-11e4-be68-00144feabdc0.html

"Fifa's attempt to clear Russia and Qatar to run the next two World Cups was plunged into controversy when the man chosen to probe corruption allegations over the bidding process accused football's governing body of misrepresenting his findings.

After four years of fending off graft allegations, Fifa announced it was keeping faith with Russia as host in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, concluding that any improper behaviour in the bidding process was "of very limited scope".

The conclusions stem from an investigation by US lawyer Michael J. Garcia into corruption allegations surrounding the 2010 vote by Fifa's executive committee to choose the two tournaments' hosts. But publication of a 42-page summary prompted Mr Garcia, who chairs Fifa's investigatory chamber, to issue an explosive statement distancing himself from the findings.

The summary, he said, "contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions" he had compiled in his own report. He added that he would appeal against the findings to the Fifa appeal committee."

This is a failed kick start project

Kickended compiles all the projects that got zero funding


http://kickended.com/projects/1852687802/

QuoteA film documentary about the actual rediscovery of an ancient site that was used as an inter dimensional portal to other worlds.

We have found evidence that portals exist!We have found evidence that portals exist!


In the spring months of 2011, UFO researcher Nigel Mortimer witnessed an extraordinary event - two military jets that were chasing a silvery ball of light over the woodlands of Settle in North Yorkshire, England. Shortly afterwards, he watched a ghost like owl appear out of nowhere, it sat staring at him with large dark eyes, within those same woods. He soon found out that other locals in the township had been observing these same lightships descending into the treetops for years. Intrigued by these sightings, Nigel began to explore the woodland with his wife Helen, but they initially found nothing unusual apart from the massive outcrop of rock known as Castleberg, which hung silently, looming over the small market town for thousands of years. More UFO sightings were reported and all of them seemed to be originating from the wooded craggy slopes of that place. Nigel came across an old painting and map of the Settle area which showed something unusual at Castleberg which was no longer there; a line of four massive ancient standing stones that ran down the hillside. His further investigations revealed that in the 1600's the British government mysteriously made an effort to remove these stones and replace them with something else on the landscape which would erase all living memory of the original Settle Sun Dial. Four hundred years later, Nigel Mortimer rediscovered where the secret sun dial had been placed, why it had been covered up, removed from the landscape and what its true purpose was - A PORTAL to another world! The secret that inter dimensional portals exist has been kept hidden away from the general public. The elite know that this is the preferred mode of transportation into our reality for the ET visitors. The amazing video and photographic evidence that has been gained by the Mortimer's at this portal site is groundbreaking! No longer can the truth be hidden.....

WE NEED HELP TO BRING THIS TRUTH TO YOU!

"A few months after the portal site was rediscovered, I became very ill. I could not breath properly and all of my energy was zapped from my body. I was taken to hospital twice with these symptoms but no definite solution to my illness was found. I suffered that illness for two years. I thought I was going to die.... I did not tell the doctors that I had been cursed with this illness from a negative human spirit from the 1600's at the portal!"

Even though there had been many setbacks like this throughout 2011 to 2013, which included personal attacks by the local council, my self funded book on the portal being banned from all shops and libraries in the locality, and further psychic warnings, my wife and I continue to search for the truth. The illness has caused me to be unfit for physical work and so we have struggled on little income during this time, but even so, we have continued to work at the portal and spread the word about the amazing things we have discovered there.

Much of this documented video evidence will make up part of the whole story behind the documentary we will produce. In essence, we have already captured the heart of this story. Now we need more funds to finish shooting and editing the rest of this film during 2014, so that we can get it out into the world! It is so important that we do this soon - we understand now, that there are none human life forms which exist, that depend on this truth and They have been waiting a very long time to be invited into this physical realm!


ONE MORE UFO DOCUMENTARY... HOW WILL THIS ONE BE DIFFERENT?

When we said that this documentary will be groundbreaking, they were not empty words. There has never been a ground roots film like this one, which gives both an accurate account of the history behind the cover up of a real portal, but also goes on to describe with amazingly detailed evidence that portals like the one found at Settle are still being used by inter dimensional Beings. Many of them are like us, some of them rather stranger lifeforms.

Nigel Mortimer is no New Age weirdo, he has 30 years of UFO investigations and research under his belt and what happened to him at Settle was a shock to him! The extraordinary synchronicity of separate witnesses accounts from the portal site is only the tip of the iceberg. This will not be a typical UFO documentary. This film will show how history and science often converge into the phenomenal worlds of the paranormal. After viewing this film, science will not be able to simply ignore the truth. We hope that science will embrace it. The Mortimer's know what happened and aren't waiting for anyone to prove it to them. They have the evidence. More extraordinary than the evidence is the effect the whole experience has had on all of our lives and the impact it will have on the immediate future of humankind.

Gay bull saved by Simpsons creator
Last updated 7 hours ago


'Glowing' at the news: Benjy the gay bull saved from the abattoir
A bull branded gay, has been saved from the slaughterhouse by charity donations, including £5,000 from Sam Simon, co-creator of the Simpsons.

Benjy, from County Mayo, Ireland, was destined for the abattoir after showing more interest in breeding with other bulls than cows.

Gay and animal rights campaigners launched a joint online campaign to save Benjy. It went viral.

Homosexual behaviour has been observed in 1,500 animal species.

'Large lamb'
Benjy's story first came to light when his owner mentioned to friend and local journalist, Joanna McNicholas, that Benjy was not fulfilling his farm role, and would have to be reluctantly sent for slaughter.

Ms McNicholas said: "He looks like a large lamb. He's very gentle and very quiet."

After Benjy's plight appeared in the Connaught Telegraph, it was picked up by the Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) in Ireland.

The Gay UK, an online daily magazine for the gay community, launched a Crowdfunder campaign to raise £5,000 to buy Benjy and transport him to an animal sanctuary.

Bart and Benjy
In less than a week the campaign has raised over £9,000, including the surprise donation from Mr Simon on Tuesday morning.

Mr Simon was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2012.

He is vegan and has donated to several projects to rescue animals from cruelty.

"All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because he's gay would've been a double tragedy," said Mr Simon in a statement.

He said he was glad to help "make Benjy's fate a sanctuary rather than a sandwich".

Retirement
Benjy will now be transported from Ireland to Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norwich, and the extra funding will be used to ensure his lifelong welfare, said John Carmody of ARAN.

Ms McNicholas has not seen Benjy since the the campaign surpassed its target, but his owner reported that Benjy was "glowing" over the good news.

According to Ms McNicholas, the challenge of dealing with gay bulls in farming is not widely talked about. The animals are seen as "no good" or "useless".

Lions, penguins and cheetahs have all been observed to exhibit homosexual behaviour.

Bats are widely thought to be the animals with the highest rate of homosexuality among their male population.

I don't see why it does not make, even if they are all unionists. England has appropriated the anthem of the union for themselves, which pretty much describes what is wrong with the UK generally.

Then there is the verse about a Westmeath man not popular in Albion
Lord, grant that Marshal Wade
May, by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush
And, like a torrent, rush
Rebellious Scots to crush.

Take a look at that gun and tell me does it look fake?

What was a 12 year old doing with such a thing in his hand?

Not in any way condoning the shooting of this child or any other child, but there are circumstances which need to be understood before we can go jumping off the deep end.

When police are armed and given the right to shoot people in their job these incidents as tragic as they are, are inevitable.

The reason the child had it was cos it's a toy although it probably shouldn't even be on the shelves, something like that wouldn't be legal here.

Apparently the 911 caller had said the gun was "probably fake". Could they not have shot him in the shoulder? Or fireda warning shot or something??

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but the protocol for police in these types of situation I am fairly sure does not involve warning shots.
The gun is supposed to have a bright orange safety clip on it that makes it stand out to be a 'Toy' this was removed. I also read that (open to correction) that the child was tall for his age like 5'11 or something, so police would not have automatically assumed they were dealing with one so young.

So when you start adding these factors all together it paints a different picture than, police killed child for no apparent reason.

It is a messed up situation in a country with serious issues when it comes to gun culture.

After studying american politics the guts of 10 years ago I came to the conclusion that following a law from the 1700's, ie, the right to bear arms, is one of the main reasons why america has so much violence and a rampant gun culture. 

I'm not saying that guns wouldn't have found their way into society if that particular law was abolished, but certainly incidents like this may not have happened. 

An example, imagine walking down the street where you live and you see a twelve year old have what looks like a genuine handgun.  Would you be inclined to think it is real? Probably not, we live in a country were guns aren't as common, and children walking about with them even less so. 

America will never change their constitution, guns will always be freely available, and the chances of a child getting their hands on a gun are more likely than not, that's the truley fucked up thing!

It's because the US is a settler country that was settled violently.
The natives had to be dispossessed and they were dispossessed at gunpoint.
To decide who owned the land afterwards, guns were used.

If you look at murder stats by country the highest tend to be in the Americas.
That is where colonialism was most violent for longest.
Honduras is the worst. A small white elite and a dispossessed mestizo underclass.

Mexico isn't much better.

The US also has the highest percentage of population incarcerated.

After studying american politics the guts of 10 years ago I came to the conclusion that following a law from the 1700's, ie, the right to bear arms, is one of the main reasons why america has so much violence and a rampant gun culture. 

I'm not saying that guns wouldn't have found their way into society if that particular law was abolished, but certainly incidents like this may not have happened. 

An example, imagine walking down the street where you live and you see a twelve year old have what looks like a genuine handgun.  Would you be inclined to think it is real? Probably not, we live in a country were guns aren't as common, and children walking about with them even less so. 

America will never change their constitution, guns will always be freely available, and the chances of a child getting their hands on a gun are more likely than not, that's the truley fucked up thing!

It's because the US is a settler country that was settled violently.
The natives had to be dispossessed and they were dispossessed at gunpoint.
To decide who owned the land afterwards, guns were used.

If you look at murder stats by country the highest tend to be in the Americas.
That is where colonialism was most violent for longest.
Honduras is the worst. A small white elite and a dispossessed mestizo underclass.

Mexico isn't much better.

The US also has the highest percentage of population incarcerated.

blah, blah , I hate the US
blah, blah, I hate Americans

blah, blah...no, really..I'm not a xenophobe, what gave you that impression ?
Tell us about why the Yanks have so many guns when you get a minute.

tell us why you hate Americans so much when you get a minute.
I don't hate Americans. Richard Ford is American. Philip Glass is American.
El_P is American. Deep Dish are American .
The New York Review is American.

But America has a lot of structural problems.

Child rapist Jeffrey Goodwyn sentence is 'unlawful'A child rapist has been released after a judge said it would be "unlawful" to keep him locked up.

Jeffrey Charles Goodwyn, 48, was given an indeterminate sentence in 2012 for indecently assaulting a seven-year-old girl eight or more years earlier.

He already had a previous conviction for raping a nine-year-old child.

Mr Justice Coulson said at the Court of Appeal that an open-ended sentence could only be passed for offences after April 2005.

"Despite the danger to the public which this applicant clearly represents, we are in no doubt that... The IPP (imprisonment for public protection) was unlawful," he said.

The court heard Goodwyn was given an indeterminate sentence at Cardiff Crown Court in 2012 after admitting offences against a seven year old girl and being considered "a very dangerous offender indeed" by the judge.

'No progress'

Such sentences allow the authorities to keep the most dangerous criminals locked up indefinitely until they have proved they are safe.

But Goodwyn went to the Court of Appeal about the sentence.

At the hearing on Tuesday, the judge heard that while in prison Goodwyn refused to transfer to open conditions and the Parole Board described his conduct as unsatisfactory after he threatened staff and was punished for fighting.

And Goodwyn's own lawyers said he had made "no progress whatsoever" in prison.

He had also refused to discuss his sexual offending, the court heard.

Mr Justice Coulson said: "This applicant remains a very dangerous man.

"Because of his failure to engage with the relevant assistance available to him in prison, he has not begun to address his offending."

But he said the legal problems surrounding the IPP sentence meant he had no choice but to quash the term.

He imposed a three-year custodial sentence on Goodwyn, which he has already served, followed by five years on licence.

The judge had held back his decision for a fortnight while Goodwyn's parole arrangements, including hostel accommodation, were put in place.

Responding to the ruling NSPCC Wales head of service Des Mannion said: "It is extremely frightening that a child rapist described as 'very dangerous' and unrepentant has been released back in to the community due to what seems like a legal technicality surrounding the timing of the offence."

Indeterminate prison sentences

An indeterminate prison sentence is where the court sets the minimum term of imprisonment an offender must serve before becoming eligible to be considered for release by the Parole Board. There are two types of indeterminate sentence: Imprisonment for life and Imprisonment for public protection.

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection may be imposed where:

The offender is convicted of a serious sexual or violent offence which is punishable by imprisonment for life or a determinate period of 10 years or more
In the court's opinion the offender poses a significant risk to the public of serious harm by the commission of further specified offences
The offence is punishable with life imprisonment and the court is satisfied that the seriousness of the offence justifies such a sentence
The offender has a previous conviction for an offence listed in schedule 15A to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 or the current offence warrants a notional minimum term of at least two years

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/nov/03/dwp-benefits-electrician-work-placement-labour

QuoteA man who was let go at the end of a temporary job has been ordered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to work for the same firm for six months without pay.

Electronics specialist John McArthur, now unemployed, says he is living off 16p tins of spaghetti and without heating after being sanctioned by a jobcentre for refusing to work unpaid for LAMH Recycle in Motherwell, a Scottish social enterprise.

He says he was happy to work for LAMH under the now-defunct future jobs fund for the minimum wage in 2010-2011, but refuses on principle to do the same job unpaid.

McArthur, 59, says he is surviving on a monthly pension of £149 after the DWP stopped his unemployment benefit until January as punishment for his refusal to go on the 26-week community work placement (CWP).

For almost three months, McArthur has spent two hours each weekday morning parading outside the plant wearing a placard reading: "Say no to slave labour".

"It was simply a case of: 'Go here, work for nothing and if you don't we'll stop your subsistence level benefit,'" he said.

McArthur, who says he has been applying for 50 jobs a week without joy, said the CWP programme was "entirely exploitative" and came at the "expense of poor people who've got absolutely no choice". He added: "They [the government] deny it's forced labour, that you can say no, but forced doesn't always mean physical, it can be psychological or economic.

"The person who is trying to survive already on subsistence level welfare has absolutely no choice in the matter ... especially if they've got young children to look after."

LAMH confirmed it has 16 people working for six months without pay under CWP but added that since the end of June, six had progressed into paid employment.

The social enterprise, which repairs computers and recycles tin and cardboard, says it helps dozens of people each year who are long-term unemployed, many of whom have health issues.

Joe Fulton, the operations and development manager, said he believed the scheme "worked for people who want to make it work for them". He added that out of the organisation's paid workforce of 39, 25 had previously been unemployed.

McArthur said there were no jobs for someone his age in the Lanarkshire area. He said support for his placard demonstration had been overwhelming and just one person had objected.

Following conversations with local councillors, North Lanarkshire council passed a motion in October strongly objecting to forced employment schemes saying it would not get involved itself. "This council will not provide jobs or placements without pay as a condition of receiving benefits unless it is truly voluntary," the motion read.

"We do not support any mandation of unemployed people to work without pay that puts their benefits at risk."

The motion added such measures were ineffective and could "further stigmatise and demotivate" the unemployed in their search for work.

Last Wednesday, the DWP continued to battle the information commissioner and hostile court judgments ordering it to reveal where possibly hundreds of thousands of people are being sent to work without pay, sometimes for months at a time.

At the tribunal, the DWP argued that if the public knew exactly where people were being sent on placements political protests would increase, which was likely to lead to the collapse of several employment schemes and undermine the government's economic interests.

The DWP confirmed some of the UK's biggest charities, including the British Heart Foundation, Scope, Banardo's, Sue Ryder, and Marie Curie had withdrawn from the CWP scheme, causing a significant loss of placements.

Giving evidence, senior civil servant Jennifer Bradley confirmed that numerous charities and businesses were receiving cash payments as an incentive to take on the unemployed.

She said several DWP schemes used mandatory unpaid work as a tool to help people but stressed that it was written into the terms that charities and businesses could not use people out of work to replace their paid workforce.

The DWP said it could not comment on individual cases but added that community work placements "help long-term unemployed people to gain work experience which increases their confidence, helps them to gain vital skills and crucially, improves their chances of getting a job.

"We are not naming the charities and community groups involved in the scheme in order to protect them from those who seem intent on stopping us helping people into work."

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2014/11/11/official-mormon-founder-had-many-wives/qLfNs3ICEvxBcLMAxZLSXP/story.html

There remains one way in which polygamy is still a part of Mormon belief: the church teaches that a man who was "sealed" in marriage to his wife in a temple ritual, then loses his wife to death or divorce, can be sealed to a second wife and would be married to both wives in the afterlife. However, women who have been divorced or widowed cannot be sealed to more than one man. Kristine Haglund, the editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, said that while she found the church's new transparency "really hopeful," she and other women she had talked with were disturbed that the essays do not address the painful teaching about polygamy in eternity.
"These are real issues for Mormon women," Haglund said. "And because the church has never said definitively that polygamy won't be practiced in heaven, even very devout and quite conservative women are really troubled by it."

We know that David Clapson was actively searching for work when he died because a pile of CVs he had just printed out was found a few metres from his body. The last time he spoke to his sister, a few days before he died, he told her he was waiting to hear back about an application he had made to the supermarket chain Lidl.But officials at the Jobcentre believed he was not taking his search for work seriously enough, and early last July, they sanctioned him – cutting off his benefit payments entirely, as a punishment for his failure to attend two appointments.
Clapson, 59, who had diabetes, died in his flat in Stevenage on 20 July 2013, from diabetic ketoacidosis (caused by an acute lack of insulin). When Gill Thompson, his younger sister, discovered his body, she found his electricity had been cut off (meaning that the fridge where he kept his insulin was no longer working). There was very little left to eat in the flat – six tea bags, an out-of-date tin of sardines and a can of tomato soup. His pay-as-you-go mobile phone had just 5p credit left on it and he had only £3.44 in his bank account. The autopsy notes reveal that his stomach was empty.

Some people can take in a couple of weeks holiday in Cathar country during the summer and then ski the alps on Christmas day and this man dies with  £3.44 in his bank account .

Some peoples idea of being frugal is spending E150 for a case of Bordeaux instead of buying Chateau de Fonbel by the bottle. For this man it  boils down to eating out of date sardines and a can of tomato soup. 

The inequality is quite jarring.

Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.

Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.

The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.

"Pathological" gambling and compulsive stealing are also on the list. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have condemned the move.

Not really. Clearly a head shot.

The impact with the pavement in front of the officer is gas from gunpowder burning. When the bullet exits the barrel, pressure behind it blows the gunshot residues out of the firearm's barrel under high speed. Victims shot at close range will show traces of this. Because the shooter was running the residue did not hit the officer's head. The bullet did unfortunately.

Not really. Clearly a head shot.

The impact with the pavement in front of the officer is gas from gunpowder burning. When the bullet exits the barrel, pressure behind it blows the gunshot residues out of the firearm's barrel under high speed. Victims shot at close range will show traces of this. Because the shooter was running the residue did not hit the officer's head. The bullet did unfortunately.
Another conspiracy theory based on crap analysis if you ask me.
Didn't seem to be much head trauma all the same, compared to JFK at least.

No. In the case of JFK the entry and exit wounds were close enough to blow off part of the cranium. Michael Collins also suffered massive injury but that is attributed to the round either being interfered with (a dum dum bullet) or a ricochet.

Water melons are often used to demonstrate the devastating effect of a round but a cranium does not behave like a melon.

From that range there would probably be an entry and exit wound.

"Back in 2009, a company called Gain Capital, parent of Forex.com, issued an IPO prospectus. This revealed that total customer trading volume was growing at a compound annual rate of nearly 90 per cent, hitting $1.5tn in 2008. Gain's profitability, meanwhile, was growing even faster: net income ballooned from $7m in 2004 to $230m in 2008. And this was just one of dozens of retail forex operators.
Regulators in the US realised what was going on. These businesses were offering their so-called clients huge leverage. Typically, to trade $1m of any currency pair, the individual speculator would have to put up a cash margin of just $5,000 — leverage of 200/1. Gain and the other operators were then taking the other side of the trade. These were not clients at all: they were counterparties.

What is more, because of the levels of leverage and the inherent volatility in currency prices, Gain's customers were just about guaranteed to lose.

The National Futures Association in the US took immediate action. Brokers had to demonstrate that they had sizeable capital buffers and, more importantly, a 50/1 leverage cap on trades was imposed.
The industry howled, arguing that in the face of such regulation the business would move abroad, probably to London. But the rules were imposed. And guess what? The industry did move to London.
Of those 4m retail forex traders cited by Citi, just 150,000 are thought to live in the US. The rest are spread across Europe and Asia, where regulators have simply failed to check the growth of an industry that employs a hardwired system to shake down clients.
Leverage levels of up to 500/1 are typically on offer to customers in London. In Cyprus leverage can rise to 1000/1.
Trading on such terms blows the client up very quickly, which is why all these forex operators employ lavish sums on marketing, targeting motor racing and Premier League football in particular. If the clients are always losing money you need to replenish them with fresh clients.

theres always one, or two

Saturday night there, I was at a hooley when a few people from work walked in including one of the managers, about an hour later I see him groping the breasts of one of the girls in full view of the rest of the staff, he was working on the outside of the clothes. I was rightly on and anyway I told him to stop, he feckin kept going and I walked out.
I am meeting him in an hour to talk to him about it, he has no idea this conversation is going to take place but that was my latest what the fcuk moment.

I am supposed to sack him on the spot, this girl reports to him and everybody seen me there at the time and they even have video of it on their cellphones. If I say nothing and it gets out I will be sacked as well, the hoor has put in me in a bad spot. >:(

If he has so much as an inkling, I bet his stomach is in knots!
Jesus I wouldnt envy either of you, but you certainly dont let yourself get the sack for someone elses mistakes.


What the Fcuk...


I have the aul Irish mentally drilled into me and that is  to say nothing. The only reason I am contemplating saying anything is that the staff have the whole thing on video with me telling the stupid fcuker to quit it. I dont know if I can take a chance and say nothing but if I dont he loses his livelyhood. I also have an obligation to my family and I am completely torn. Feck his stomach being in knots, mine are as well and I never get nervous about anything except Armagh matches.  :-[



You need to get her involved as well and see what she thought of the whole situation. Document everything and report to your superior as he/she needs to be involved also. You need to follow your company guideline on sexual harassment if they have one if they don't they need one. If you do not handle it correctly you will lose all respect from the other other employees. Tough situation.

Just what I was about to say. You never know, maybe she was complicit? Assuming it was an unwanted bit of groping, you need to pull them both in separately. If I was you, I'd speak to the girl first to get her perspective then speak to the guy involved. You'd have a better idea of what her intentions are and it might help you decide how far you need to go with him.
I don't envy you your position though.

When I did my placement at university there was this guy (a nice enough lad from Armagh) who absolutely stank of BO. A big lad, sitting in an office environment who reeks did not go down too well with the ladies sitting nearby. A few complained and the manager had to take him aside and tell him he stank (she might have been a bit more tactful though). She was so embarrassed to have to do it, the guy probably was too. But to be fair, he sorted himself out. It's not in the same ballpark, but shows that sometimes a quiet word can be enough to resolve a difficult situation.

A five-year-old was billed for failing to attend a friend's birthday party - resulting in threats of legal action.

Alex Nash, from Cornwall, was invited to the party just before Christmas.

An invoice for £15.95 was sent by his schoolfriend's mother Julie Lawrence, who said Alex's non-attendance left her out of pocket and his parents had her details to tell her he was not going.

Alex's father Derek said he had been told he would be taken to the small claims court for refusing to pay.

Alex's parents, from Torpoint, had accepted an invitation to the party at a dry ski slope in Plymouth, Devon, just before Christmas.

However, they realised their son was double-booked and due to spend time with his grandparents, which he did.


Analysis: Clive Coleman, BBC legal correspondent
It is all but impossible that Ms Lawrence will be able to recover the £15.95 party "no show fee".

Any claim would be on the basis that a contract had been created, which included a term that a "no show" fee would be charged.

However, for there to be a contract, there needs to be an intention to create legal relations. A child's party invitation would not create legal relations with either the child "guest" or its parents.

If it is being argued that the contract is with the child, it is inconceivable that a five-year-old would be seen by a court as capable of creating legal relations and entering into a contract with a "no show" charge.

It's amusing to imagine what a children's party invitation seeking to create a contract might say: "I, the 'first party', hereinafter referred to as the 'birthday boy', cordially invite you the 'second party', hereinafter referred to as 'my best friend', to the party of 'the first party'.


His parents said they had no contact information for Ms Lawrence at that time.

They found the invoice in a brown envelope in his schoolbag last week.

Mr Nash said: "It was a proper invoice with full official details and even her bank details on it.

"I can understand that she's upset about losing money. The money isn't the issue, it's the way she went about trying to get the money from me.

The invoice lists a "Party No Show" fee
"She didn't treat me like a human being, she treated me like a child and that I should do what she says."

In a short statement, Ms Lawrence said: "All details were on the party invite. They had every detail needed to contact me."

Mr Nash said he had been told he was being taken to the small claims court because he was refusing to pay.

The party was held at the Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre.

In a statement, the centre said: "We would like all our customers to know that this invoice has nothing to do with Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre.

"No invoices are ever sent out from the centre to private individuals. This is a disagreement between the two parents involved and the fact that the centre has been named on the invoice is fraudulent.

"When booking a party there is a small deposit to pay on booking, confirmation of numbers and final balance are due 48 hours before the party.

"On the extremely rare occasion that people don't attend parents are generally offered other activities in compensation."

Another disturbing story unfolds today as sixteen year old American student Ryan Mangan was shot dead by friend and fellow classmate Maxwell Morton also sixteen,  in the city of Jeannette, Pennsylvania, last Wednesday.

The shooter, Ryan Mangan was a classmate of Mr.Morton before going to Morton's family home and shooting him once in the face killing the teenager instantly.

Mr. Mangan then allegedly took a selfie with the dead body of his friend before sending the picture to his snapchat contacts. Snapchat is an app which allows users to send pictures to each other for a set amount of seconds and cannot be regained unless the photograph is saved.

In this case, the photograph Morton sent was saved by a contact of Morton's and the mother of the boy contacted the police immediately.

It's a first for county District Attorney John Peck, who has said "I've never seen it before, but it was a key piece of evidence that led investigators to the defendant."

Morton was arrested today and confessed to killing Mangan after police searched his home and found a 9mm handgun hidden under the basement steps, according to the Tribune. Morton has been charged with first-degree murder, homicide and possession of a firearm by a minor.

The victim's funeral is due to be held today, while a preliminary court hearing for the defendant is due to take place on February 19

Fifa's electoral committee has approved Sepp Blatter and his three rivals for the world governing body's presidential elections on 29 May.

A Fifa statement  said all four had passed "integrity checks" and were eligible to stand for the presidency.

Dutch federation president Michael van Praag and Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al Hussein are standing against Blatter and ex-Portugal winger Luis Figo.

Blatter, 78, has held the post since 1998 and is seeking a fifth term.

http://triblive.com/news/westmoreland/7729452-74/police-morton-photo

"(Police) received a copy of the photo which depicted the victim sitting in the chair with a gunshot wound to the face," a police affidavit states. "It also depicts a black male taking the 'selfie,' with his face facing the camera and the victim behind the actor. The photo had the name 'Maxwell' across the top."
Morton also allegedly sent text messages that read, "Told you I cleaned up the shells," and "Ryan was not the last one."

Investigators around the world have used social media posts to link suspects to crimes. In some cases, thieves have taken selfies with phones or other devices they have stolen, not realizing the photos automatically upload to the owners' accounts. In other cases, police found photos that criminals took of themselves during or shortly after committing crimes.
"This is really a question about criminal pathology rather than technology," said Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center and a psychology and social media instructor at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, Calif. "Perpetrators in need of validating their power and sense of self-importance have used all kinds of communications to 'brag' about criminal activities — from the local hangout to social media, like Facebook."

It is with regret and deep sadness that the congregation at mass this evening was informed that young Oisin McGrath is no longer with us, he will be taken off the ventilator in the coming hours.

He is survived by this parents Sharon & Nigel as well as two younger sisters Ciana and Cairenn.

Further details will be released but for now our thoughts remain with Oisin's extended family circle and friends at this tragic time.

Really gets on my wick, people who are quick to jump on hear-say and spread it as the gospel truth (not necessarily on here btw). Just look at Twitter, and some people/organisations over the past 24hrs or so in this particular case who should have more sense that to spread stories that they are unsure are 100% fact or are ambiguous. Disgusting.

I'd agree with that but in fairness the priest did say that he was relaying a message from the boys mother, hard to know as we don't know the full story behind it all. Regardless of any of that people should not be spouting stuff off as the truth when it's all hear-say and rumour esp. that the poor boy has passed when he hasn't. Completely disgusting.

Telford 'Jump' onlookers condemned by police
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-31903327
Witness Chloe Jones said about 20 people, mainly teenagers, but "some grown men", were filming the incident unfold.

"As we walked past, there were some youths shouting 'Go on, do it - jump'," she said.

"It made me feel quite sick, actually,and then a lot of them were filming it, but to see some grown men filming it... I just said to them 'What on earth are you going to do with that footage? Are you going to home and watch it if that poor man jumps?'"

She said she was shocked at how people could not see "the obvious state" the man was in.

"It was almost like a form of entertainment for them... kids were screaming, running to the other side to see if they could get a better view," she said.

"It was just so sad."

Full of proud,  we've set a new record!!!

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/belfast-mum-29-set-to-be-the-youngest-granny-in-the-uk-31068444.html

QuoteA north Belfast woman is to become Britain and Ireland's youngest known grandmother at 29 years old.


The mother-of-two discovered her 15-year-old daughter was pregnant late last year.

It is believed the woman, who had her first child at 14, will be the UK's current youngest grandmother when her daughter gives birth this summer.

After announcing the news of her pregnancy on social media site Facebook, the secondary school student wrote about how excited she was and added: "I can't wait to be a mum."

She also told friends on social media last month: "Just can't wait to hold him or her in my arms, relly (sic) don't think it's hit me yet."

While Sunday Life spoke to the soon-to-be grandmother, she said her family had no intention of speaking to the media.

The teenager's boyfriend, who is believed to be aged 17, also revealed his excitement online.

The couple, who are from opposite sides of the political divide, shared their news with friends and expressed their excitement at becoming parents.

Commenting under a picture of their unborn baby's scan, the dad-to-be revealed he was hoping for a baby boy while his girlfriend replied: "I know lv (love) hopefully, but we don't care as long as it's healthy."

Friends of the couple also took to social media to express their congratulations on their first baby together. One person wrote: "Woww im so excited." While another stated: "Gonna be a beautiful like its mummy".

The teenage boy's mother also added her congratulations.

Writing under the baby scan photo, she said. "My precious little bundle so proud of you an (dad's name) love u."

It is understood the girl's mother will be the UK and Ireland's youngest granny when the baby arrives.

In 1999, a Yorkshire woman became Britain's youngest ever granny in recent times aged 26.

In 2008, Cheshire woman Tracey Smith spoke of her joy at becoming one of Britain's youngest grannies. The 36-year-old, who became pregnant with her first baby at 16, became a gran when her youngest daughter, aged 17, had her first child.

While it technically is statutory rape as she is under the age of consent the reality is that as this is clearly a case of 2 very consenting teenagers engaging in sex then it is highly unlikely that the PPS have the will to pursue such a case. Its not quite as clear in the other case.

Consent nothing to do with it. But nobody has reported a crime. Double standards of course but thats the way it is. Do you honestly think that these kids know what age of consent is/ means/ matters? What's anybody going to do? Educate them  ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Lock them up ::) ::)

Plus, there is no money to be made on this one. No pro- soccer player to be hung out to dry or anything of interest. Just early breeders getting on with it like their parents before them. Nobody to destroy here so no story.

Virginia school suspends an 11-year-old for one year over a leaf that wasn't marijuana

By Christopher Ingraham March 16 

These are Japanese maple leaves, not marijuana leaves. Does your principal know the difference? (Flickr user Hideyuki KAMON, CC)
Earlier this school year, a sixth-grader in the gifted-and-talented program at Bedford Middle School in Bedford, Virginia was suspended for one year after an assistant principal found something that looked like a marijuana leaf in his backpack.

The student, the 11-year-old son of two school teachers, had to enroll in the district's alternative education program and be homeschooled. He was evaluated by a psychiatrist for substance abuse problems, and charged with marijuana possession in juvenile court. In the months since September, he's become withdrawn, depressed, and he suffers from panic attacks. He is worried his life is over, according to his mother, and that he will never get into college.

The only problem? The "leaf" found in the student's backpack wasn't what authorities thought it was -- it tested negative for marijuana three separate times.

[DEA warns of stoned rabbits if Utah passes medical marijuana]

All of this is laid out in detail by Dan Casey in a column in the Roanoke Times today. While the juvenile court dropped its case against the student after the tests turned up negative, the school system, in a community located midway between Roanoke and Lynchburg, has been far less forgiving. That's because stringent anti-drug policies in school districts in Virginia and elsewhere consider "imitation" drugs to be identical to real ones for disciplinary purposes.

The school's lawyer, Jim Guynn, is quoted in the Roanoke Times article defending the policy on the basis that "it's a pretty standard policy across the Commonwealth." In 2011, for instance, four seventh-graders in Chesapeake, Virginia were suspended over bringing a bag of oregano to school. A quick Google search suggests similar policies are in effect in many other states as well.

It doesn't matter if your son or daughter brings a real pot leaf to school, or if he brings something that looks like a pot leaf -- okra, tomato, maple, buckeye, etc. If your kid calls it marijuana as a joke, or if another kid thinks it might be marijuana, that's grounds for expulsion.

[Marijuana may be safer than previously thought]

The Bedford sixth-grader has been allowed to return to school starting today. But he has to attend a different school, separate from his former friends and peers, and he's still under strict probation until this September. The terms of his original suspension letter state that he'll be searched for drugs at the beginning and end of every school day until his probation is over.

It's unclear what exactly transpired before the assistant principal discovered the leaf in the Bedford student's backpack. School authorities say the student was showing it to other kids and telling them it was pot. The student's parents say he never would have done such a thing, and that it was planted there as a joke by another kid.

Either scenario raises troubling questions given the severity of the punishment. Kids, especially at that age, joke about things all the time. When I was in sixth grade my friends and I would dump out Pixy Sticks on our desks and arrange the powdered sugar in neat little lines, like cocaine, although I don't think any of us was dumb enough to try to snort it. We only knew what cocaine was because of D.A.R.E., the ineffective school anti-drug campaign of the 80s and 90s.

Under rules in place today in Virginia and elsewhere, we would have been considered possessing "imitation cocaine" and subject to expulsion.

The Bedford case is a microcosm of drug policy -- especially marijuana policy -- at the national level. Most of the harm associated with marijuana use comes not from using marijuana, but from getting caught up in the  strict punishments meted out by the criminal justice system for using it.

The harm that the Bedford school district inflicted on this boy is far greater than any harm he could have incurred by eating an actual marijuana leaf, or even smoking it, or even smoking a dozen leaves.

Fortunately, kids are resilient. With any luck the student will start to bounce back once his year of probation and mandatory pat-downs is over. But as the parent of two boys, the prospect of this sort of ordeal terrifies me.

Think that deserves it's own thread TBH. Ironic this surfaces on the anniversary of Hillsborough though probably not a coincidence with the guardian serialising the book.

As the Jft96 campaign nears some sort of resolution I often wondered why there was no JFT56 or 66. Both disgraceful cover ups imo. Lessons learned and implemented from Ibrox in particular might have ensured that Hillsborough was avoided.

New Zealand PM John Key apologises for hair-pulling


New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has apologised to a woman who works at an Auckland cafe for repeatedly pulling her hair.

The unnamed waitress wrote in a blog that he had tugged her ponytail on several occasions, even after she had asked him not to.


....New Zealanders have been discussing Mr Key's actions on Twitter with the hashtags #tailgate. and #ponytailgate.....



Amongst others WTF things, does the BBC think that New Zealand is in Asia?

Jim Wells Rathfriland incident investigated

Police have confirmed they are investigating after an incident during an election canvas in County Down was reported to them.

It is understood it involved the DUP candidate Jim Wells and a lesbian couple.

It is believed the PSNI are trying to establish if an offence has been committed

It follows Mr Wells's remarks at a hustings where he linked same-sex relationships to child abuse.

He later apologised for those comments.

The PSNI said they had received three complaints regarding the conduct of an individual in Rathfriland on Saturday evening.

It is alleged that Jim Wells, who was doing door-to-door canvassing, called at a lesbian couple's house, and during a conversation was critical of their lifestyle.
'Wanted to apologise'

The daughter of one of the women said her mother was upset.

She said Mr Wells had gone back to the house twice saying he wanted to apologise. But the couple would not accept the apology, because, they claimed, Mr Wells said he did not agree with their lifestyle choice.

"Jim Wells was trying to get in, trying to see mum and her partner said 'no she's not coming out to see you, she doesn't want to see you'," the woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said.

"He really wanted to try and get in to apologise to her, but she didn't want it.

"He kept saying about lifestyle choices and how it was wrong, how his party didn't believe in lifestyle choices.

"My mum's partner actually told him she'd voted DUP all her life and he's now lost her vote."

The PSNI have said they are currently investigating and it would be inappropriate to comment further.

It is understood they are trying to establish if any offence has been committed. The DUP have not yet responded to a request for comment.

Sure there has to be some sensitivity around his wife's health, but he's using that as an excuse for his resignation, not his homophobic opinions and rantings and IMO he's wrong to play that card.

The PSNI should still be looking to see if he's broken any laws in his recent outbursts irrespective if he's resigned or not!

This sounds like something from Salt Lake City. Capacity for 3000 worshipers? That would be a good venue for a Nathan Carter concert!

I would be more concerned that they were able to buy a piece of land inside the Ballymena town boundaries for £4m when it was recently valued before that at £75m, even taking into account the melt down that is a serious bargain. Wonder who signed if off and who the planners are and what church they attend etc

Also a bit of digging into the 'Pastor' would make for an interesting story.

The Green Pastures church was founded in 2007 by Pastor Jeff Wright, a member of the Ballymena bus-building family.

Is it true that at Wright bus they start the day with a communal prayer?

Well i see it been givem the go ahead by the new super council.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32910020 (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32910020)

The US military accidentally sent live anthrax samples to as many as nine labs across the country and to a US military base in South Korea, the Pentagon says.

Twenty-two military personnel at the Osan Air Base in South Korea are receiving preventive treatment after being possibly exposed to the sample.

In the US, four civilians are receiving treatment - although they face a "minimal risk".

A Defence Department lab in Utah "inadvertently" shipped the samples.

The personnel at the South Korean base might have come into contact with the anthrax sample during a "training event", the US military said, but so far none had shown "any signs" of exposure.

However, they were given "appropriate medical precautionary measures to include examinations, antibiotics and in some instances, vaccinations".

"The sample was destroyed in accordance with appropriate protocols," said Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren.
Experts in biosafety say they are astonished by the lapse and called for greater precautions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has begun an investigation into the incident.

"Out of an abundance of caution, [the Defence Department] has stopped the shipment of this material from its labs pending completion of the investigation," said Col Warren.

Samples involved in the investigation will be securely transferred to CDC or affiliated laboratories "for further testing", CDC spokeswoman Kathy Harden said.

Ms Harden said that the CDC has also sent officials to the labs "to conduct on-site investigations".

The latest incident comes nearly a year after the CDC, one of the government's foremost civilian laboratories, also mishandled anthrax, the Associated Press news agency reported.

The Pentagon said that it accidentally sent shipments of live anthrax bacteria from the Dugway Proving ground facility.

It said that researchers at a laboratory set up to deal with extremely dangerous pathogens dispatched what they thought were "killed samples" of anthrax to another CDC facility.

But it did not have sufficient safeguards and was not equipped to work with live anthrax, AP reported, and several CDC employees were "potentially exposed" to live anthrax. However, none became ill.

The Defence Department spokesman said that the samples in the latest incident were supposed to be dead or deactivated.

The government has confirmed one shipment actually had live spores, and the eight others might also have done so.

The live spores were shipped from Utah to labs in Texas, Maryland, Wisconsin, Delaware, New Jersey, Tennessee, New York, California and Virginia, as well as the air base in South Korea.

Ireland's media silenced over MP's speech about Denis O'Brien

Injunction prevents newspapers and radio stations from reporting claims made in Ireland's parliament about media owner's banking affairs

I cannot recall having previously started a blogpost by reporting a speech to the Irish parliament. But please stick with me on this.

Catherine Murphy, an Independent TD (MP), yesterday spoke about the relationship between Ireland's leading media owner, Denis O'Brien, and the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), the former Anglo Irish Bank.

Here is a key passage from her speech (edited only to make it explicable to people outside Ireland who have not followed the details of a long-run saga):

"We are now aware... that the former CEO of IBRC made verbal agreements with Denis O'Brien to allow him to extend the terms of his already expired loans...

I understand that Mr O'Brien was enjoying a rate of approximately 1.25% when IBRC could, and arguably should, have been charging 7.5%.

Given that we are talking about outstanding sums of upwards of €500 million, the interest rate applied is not an insignificant issue for the public interest.

We also know that Denis O'Brien felt confident enough in his dealings with IBRC that he could write to Kieran Wallace, the special liquidator, and demand that the same favourable terms extended to him by way of a verbal agreement be continued.

We now have Kieran Wallace, who has been appointed by the government to conduct the IBRC review, actually joining with IBRC and Denis O'Brien in the high court to seek to injunct the information I have outlined from coming into the public domain. Surely that alone represents a conflict".

Given that IBRC is state-owned, Murphy was suggesting that the Irish people have been subsidising O'Brien's interest payments on massive loans for no clear reason.

Although I have no idea whether or not her claims are correct, they are protected by parliamentary privilege (as in Britain).

Her speech can be seen here on YouTube and can be accessed here on the Oireachtas website. http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/Debates%20Authoring/DebatesWebPack.nsf/takes/dail2015052800027?opendocument&highlight=denis%20o%27brien

But her remarks were not reported in Ireland because lawyers acting for O'Brien argued that the details were covered by a high court injunction obtained by O'Brien against the country's main broadcaster, RTÉ, last week.

That injunction prevented RTÉ from broadcasting a report relating to O'Brien's private banking affairs with IBRC. It was imposed despite RTÉ contending that press freedom, public interest and legitimate journalistic inquiry should be paramount.

But the extension of the terms of that injunction to cover a parliamentary speech has shocked the Irish media community, not to mention the public.

It had extraordinary effects. For example, RTÉ reporter Philip Boucher Hayes tweeted yesterday afternoon that the Drivetime show was about to play Murphy's speech, but the piece was not broadcast and his tweet was later deleted.

RTÉ news bulletins mentioned that Murphy had spoken but didn't quote what she had said or play clips. Online reports quoting Murphy were removed, stating only that Murphy had spoken about O'Brien. Similarly, the Irish Times's report was silent on what Murphy said but it did provide a link to her speech on the Oireachtas site.

The report on the matter by Ireland's best-selling daily newspaper, the Irish Independent, said: "Mr O'Brien successfully stopped RTÉ from broadcasting the details which Ms Murphy raised in the Dáil".

The Indo, as it is known in Ireland, is owned by Independent News & Media (INM), which is controlled by O'Brien. That company is far and away the largest newspaper owner in Ireland. It also publishes the Irish Daily Star, the Sunday Independent, the Sunday World, Dublin's Evening Herald plus 14 regional titles and, north of the border, the Belfast Telegraph.

O'Brien is big in radio too through his Communicorp group which owns two major national stations, Newstalk and Today FM, plus three regional stations.

He is a billionaire regarded as Ireland's richest man with widespread interests, including mobile phones, oil and aircraft leasing. For tax reasons, he lives in Malta.

In the late evening, the nightly discussion programme on TV3, Tonight with Vincent Browne, was presented (because Browne is on holiday) by Ger Colleran, editor of INM's Irish Daily Star.

He read a statement from TV3's management stating that there must be no discussion about Murphy's comments following letters from O'Brien's lawyers.

So there it is. The owner of the bulk of Ireland's media outlets is using an injunction to prevent reports on his affairs appearing in the rest of the media he doesn't control.

Clearly, there are questions to ask about the press freedom implications due to Ireland's lack of media plurality and diversity.

China 'seizes 40-year-old meat in crackdown on smugglers'



24 June 2015




Chinese authorities said unsafe meat was being smuggled from abroad and ending up in markets across the country

Chinese authorities have seized more than 100,000 tonnes of smuggled meat - some of it more than 40 years old, according to state media.

The frozen meat, estimated to be worth about £300 million (3bn yuan; $483m), was seized in a nationwide crackdown.

"It was smelly and I nearly threw up when I opened the door," an official from Hunan province, where 800 tonnes were seized, told the AFP news agency.

Poor standards have made food safety a major concern in China.

According to state newspaper the China Daily, officials from Guangxi, a southern region bordering Vietnam, found meat dating back to the 1970s.




Thawed several times

Some of the meat seized in Hunan province was found to have been refrozen after thawing out while in transit, according to the reports.

Yang Bo, an anti-smuggling official in Hunan province, was quoted as saying food was often transported in ordinary rather than refrigerated vehicles to save money. "So the meat has often thawed out several times before reaching customers," he said.

The Hunan province haul reportedly included beef, chicken feet and duck necks.

Authorities believe meat is smuggled into China via neighbouring Hong Kong and Vietnam, from countries such as Brazil and India, to sidestep import restrictions.

State media said 21 criminal gangs had been targeted by the police operation, with 20 people arrested in Hunan province alone.

News of the meat seizure came on the same day China's food safety watchdog asked three milk producers in Shaanxi province to recall infant formula powder.

Excessive nitrate levels were detected in some powdered milk samples and the products were branded as sub-standard, state media said.

The quality of milk products remains a sensitive topic in China after a deadly tainted milk scandal in 2008, when at least six children died and some 300,000 fell ill after consuming milk products contaminated by melamine.

The country has also faced criticism recently over a dog meat festival taking place this month, where about 10,000 dogs were expected to be slaughtered.

IRISH backpackers Colm Sherry and Fergal Arkinson shared their Albert Park apartment with a complete stranger for six months without realising.

It was only when they were moving out that they discovered the ashes of Paul Jervis Kells, who died 23 years ago, sitting on a shelf in Mr Arkinson's bedroom cupboard.

Bizarrely, according to the inscription, the man had died on June 22 — the very day the Irishmen were to move out of the building.

"It was a strange enough discovery without finding out he died on the same day we were leaving," Mr Arkinson said.

"It was on the very top shelf of the wardrobe, right at the back, which is why I didn't find it before then.


"I needed the ladder to reach it. I'm glad I didn't find it earlier because I am a bit superstitious."

Mr Sherry said: "We thought it was just the two of us living there but it had actually been three and we just didn't realise it."

He joked that the discovery explained "all the strange happenings''.

The friends, who are now on a road trip to Queensland before jetting home to Ireland, say they hope their real estate agent will be able to reunite the ashes with the man's loved ones.

"That would be the best outcome," Mr Sherry said.

"No one would leave those behind on purpose."

http://time.com/4056477/jon-hendren-defends-edward-scissorhands-not-edward-snowden/

QuoteHLN anchor seemingly unaware Twitter comedian @fart is trolling her in conversation about Edward Snowden
She was either really professional or really oblivious as Jon Hendren discussed "Edward Scissorhands" at length

On Wednesday, HLN invited Twitter comedian Jon Hendren — whose social media handle, @fart, should have given away the game — to discuss the sudden appearance of Edward Snowden on Twitter yesterday.

HLN anchor Yasmin Vossoughian asked whether Hendren agreed with GOP presidential candidate George Pataki, who wrote that "Twitter is a great company that should not give a platform to terrorists of traiters," to which Hendren replied that Snowden is "a hero doing what any one of us should have done in that situation."

"Some people don't think he's a hero," Vossoughian said.

"Well, they're wrong," Hendren replied. "He's doing the most patriotic possible thing."

Vossoughian then played a clip of John Oliver's interview with Snowden, in which he questioned whether some of the information revealed in Snowden's leaks didn't directly put American lives or operations in harm's way.

"Could he have hurt someone?" Vossoughian asked.

"Well, you know to say he couldn't harm someone," Hendren replied, seemingly on topic. "Absolutely he could. But I think to cast him out, to make him invalid in society, simply because he has scissors for hands — I mean that's strange. People didn't get scared until he started sculpting shrubs into dinosaur shapes and what-not."

Vossoughian was either unfazed or oblivious, as she then asked Hendren about whether Snowden deserved to live in exile in Russia.

"Casting him out is just completely wrong," he replied. "We're treating him like an animal, like someone who should be quarantined and put away. Just because he was created on top of a mountain by Vincent Price, incomplete with scissors for hand and no heart. Edward Scissorhands is a complete hero to me."

"I mean, where else is he going to go? You know?" Hendren asked. "We cast him out. We got scared when he poked a hole in a waterbed with his scissor fingers, and that was unreasonable of us."

Coming home for Berlin the other day and a german woman in her 50's was in front of me at security, put her case through and she got pulled over to open the case.

She had feck all clothes in it but a a load of food and other stuff all wrapped up in newspaper. One of the first items the security man lifted from the case was pair of Hedge Shears.

WTF was she thinking and where was she going with them. She was travelling with a younger man, her son, who was kinda unsurprised either when he seen them. Wish I had some german to understand what they where saying.

Huge industry behind card function and security. During the Greek crisis while people were queuing to get their money out - the banks were employing their contractors to slow down the service at the ATMs. Wouldn't be surprised if they are just scared you are going to take your hedge fund out for the weekend and are giving you a few extra seconds to re-consider!

It depends on the software installed on the device. Some ATM software 'pre counts' the cash drawers and will have a message about no 10s, 20s ,whatever. Others will have versions which calculate the permutations it can service, and only display those options. That software shows gaps where the 20, 40, 60 or whatever should be, and only leaves, 50, 100, 200 whatever. Other versions don't pre-count at all, and only when it tries to service the request does it come back with an error.

Again, some of that software will tell you 'multiples of 50' or whatever, but other versions will just tell you 'try another amount' and go off and check again.

This software is normally controlled by the ATM Vendors, rather than the banks. The Bank tells them what they want to appear, but the ATM software is written by the vendors. (NCR or Wincor primarily in ROI).

Clearly it is the software and clearly it is the like of NCR that write the  software. But at present we have a separation of powers  approach, AIB machines which I often use, have a $90 option on the menu but display this regardless of the machines ability to dispense it. Giving the customer an accurate choice makes such sense that it seems a no brainer that banks would have insisted on this from day 1. People often rant, rightly, about public services that subject their customers to pointless bollix, but private organisations do this also. It is 35 years since ATMs appeared in Ireland, they have had plenty of time to get it right. And going back to Tony Baloney's original point, if the machine tells most people to choose a different amount then this contributes to a completely unnecessary queue at the machine.

It is a cost of business, but one that people paying with cash do not impose, so these would be subsidising the card micro payers.

Giving the customer an accurate choice makes such sense that it seems a no brainer that banks would have insisted on this from day 1. People often rant, rightly, about public services that subject their customers to pointless bollix, but private organisations do this also. It is 35 years since ATMs appeared in Ireland, they have had plenty of time to get it right. And going back to Tony Baloney's original point, if the machine tells most people to choose a different amount then this contributes to a completely unnecessary queue at the machine.

Spending £4.82 in a shop and been told that it has to be over a fiver to use your bank card. WTF Why why why why why

Each transaction costs the vendor money. Not unusual to have a card minimum. I'd argue it is a cost of doing business, but they are getting away with it

It is a cost of business, but one that people paying with cash do not impose, so these would be subsidising the card micro payers.

I agree with you, but the new ATMs are more 'intelligent' in stuff like this. And believe me when I tell you the Banks are not in love with large queues at devices, they prefer quicker transaction times and more customers served.

Some of the old ATMs are very clunky, but at the moment there is a rejuve going on around the country with ATMs, which will allow remote update of the screens users see, which should lead to more efficient user sessions as the better ATMs are tailored.

You wouldn't believe the MI that's generated in this area, so it's definitely something they are looking to improve, albeit way later than they should have.

In such cases I tell them to put it through as a fiver and give me the 18p as change. Most are happy enough to do so but the odd one says "sorry, we're not allowed to give cash-back" and I say "I'm not asking you for cash back,  I'm asking for the 18p change you owe me out of my fiver!".

Why should they facilitate you? The minimum charge is there to give the shop the possibility of profit that exceeds what they have to pay to process your card, why don't you just give them a fiver?

http://sluggerotoole.com/2015/10/12/money-to-burn-rates-spent-on-bonfire-pallets-scandal/

The Irish News ran a front page story on Saturday in which it was revealed that Antrim Borough Council had breached its own guidelines for successive years in order to fund the purchase of pallets for loyalist bonfires to the tune of more than £6,300 across the borough in 2013 and 2014.

The story featured on today's BBC Radio Ulster Nolan Show, when UUP Councillor Drew Ritchie defended the expenditure as "money well spent" on "a traditional part of any bonfire"- even though the Council had stated it was "made in error."

The full list of items funded is quite revealing, and includes thousands of pounds given to loyalist flute bands to apparently play music at the bonfires, as well as a remarkable £650 spent on a facepainter in Monkstown in 2014- in spite of every other bonfire, including Monkstown the previous year, paying out in between £100 and £300 on facepainting.......

Of the 14 Newtownabbey bonfires receiving funding over the two years, only Rathfern appears to have secured insurance- in both years.

The final caller to the Nolan Show this morning asked the right question: Do the bonfire builders have any receipts for the pallets bought?

Hmmmmmm.......

These revelations once again illustrate why the SDLP Minister Mark H Durkan is entirely correct to pursue the option of licensing all bonfires in future years.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/13/woman-sues-11-year-old-nephew-hug-broke-wrist?CMP=fb_gu

The aunt, Jennifer Connell, claims her nephew acted unreasonably when his exuberant greeting caused her to fall and break her wrist in 2011, the Westport News reported from the courthouse on Monday.A Manhattan human resources manager is suing her 12-year-old nephew for leaping into her arms when he welcomed her to his eighth birthday party. She is seeking $127,000 in damages from the boy, whose mother died last year. Westport News also reported that the 12-year-old appeared confused as he sat in the courtroom with his father.
Connell reportedly testified that she loves her nephew, whom she described as always being "very loving, sensitive" toward her.
He had been riding his first two-wheeled bicycle – which was bright red, according to testimony – around his home when Connell arrived. When she did, he dropped it, saying: "Auntie Jen, Auntie Jen!"

"I remember him shouting, 'Auntie Jen, I love you,' and there he was flying at me," Connell reportedly testified.

Of the damage done, Connell testified that she did not complain at the time, but she said her life had been "very difficult" since the injury because of "how crowded it is in Manhattan".

"I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d'oeuvre plate," she reportedly said.

This article was amended on 13 October 2015 to correct the age of the boy from 11 to 12.

Next thing, he jumped off the back of the trailer....Boom.....the brush shaft enters his body, not up his arse but actually pierced through his 'barse'. It continued its journey through his body before coming to a rest at his shoulder blade. Amazingly, it missed everything important along the way. After surgery to remove it, he's 100% apart from a couple of stitches in his undercarriage.

A
question for the gentlemen: would you take a male contraceptive pill made with scorpion, spider or snake poison?
If you answered "not on your life", Mexican researchers would like you to think again. They believe that substances in the venom of such creatures could block proteins, which act as "doorways", on the membranes of sperm cells in such a way as to stop them fertilising female eggs.

Would you take if it said "fully synthetic active ingredients" based on naturally occurring compounds?

Or 'no added sugar'?

That might not seem that bad, apart from the fact that there was cat shite and piss everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
It was on the floor, on the kitchen worktop, in bedroom, it was every f**king where!
It was one of the most revolting things I've ever seen. The smell was horrendous.

Anybody remember Taffee's shop on Galway's Shop street? It was a shop that sold woollen stuff. Jumpers, blankets etc. Lovely elderly (when I was there) woman ran the gig and she was very kind to everybody. She was good to the lads on the buckfast and the shop was a refuge for stray dogs as well. But the smell hit you well before the doorway of the shop. The stuff inside was top quality. The dogs were sociable as well but there was so many of them and they were not house trained of course. Lurchers and assorted terrier, collie, lab mongrels. Many of them old/ abandoned/incontinent.

They used to sleep and piss in the shop. And no dog would sleep on the floor if he/she can sleep on a woolly blanket or jumper.

Still, respect for the old girl that looked after all those vagrants, dogs and people.

European leaders are to stage an unprecedented and highly controversial summit with the Turkish government on Sunday in an attempt to outsource the migration crisis, paying Ankara €3bn for it to seal its border with Greece to halt or slow migrant flows to Europe.








Turkey putting Syrian refugees 'at serious risk of human rights abuse'

The Turks, who demanded the summit, have insisted on a high price fortheir cooperation: the resumption of EU membership negotiations after years of them being frozen, easing of visa requirements for Turks travelling to the EU, regular EU-Turkey summits, and the €3bn (£2.1bn) in aid over two years.

agency workers harangued by public address system for not working fast enough, sick children left at school by their parents for fear of losing their jobs, lengthy body searches and lists of prohibitions for staff, enduring casualised hours. This used to be the stuff of Dickensian fiction – yet it is the daily experience of many workers in the UK today.

At the very least, there is something primitively direct and open about humiliation by loudspeaker. Even more chilling is an account from another retailer's distribution centre relayed to me in recent years: there workers described having to wear wristbands reminiscent of convicts' electronic tags, which not only scanned the barcodes of goods they were picking but tracked their movements. They calculated the number of hand movements made per minute so that workers could be sent a chivvying text whenever their work rate slowed down

Quotehttp://www.independent.ie/irish-news/drink-driver-steals-garda-car-in-dublin-drives-to-armagh-26801241.html

A DRIVER stopped in Dublin on suspicion of drink driving, stole the garda car he had been placed in and drove it to south Armagh. The suspect was stopped in north Dublin at 9pm last night when he undertook his daring escapade.

The man, who was behind the wheel of a Lexus car, was stopped by two gardai in Lusk and failed a breath test.


He was placed in the back seat of a garda car while one officer drove his car to Balbriggan garda station.


He was transported to the station in the back of an 05 registered Ford Focus garda car, but when the officer got out of the car outside the station he managed to jump into the front seat and took off towards the M1.


Gardai scrambled an air support helicopter and set up a checkpoint at the toll booths outside Drogheda.


The driver crashed through the barriers and the thief continued his journey north in the Newry direction.


The PSNI became involved in the search for the man and the stolen car.


The vehicle was found overnight in South Armagh, some 60km from Balbriggan where the car was stolen.


A senior garda source admitted that the incident was very embarrassing for the gardai.


It is understood that Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan has ordered an immediate in inquiry into the incident.


The PSNI were today assisting the gardai in the hunt for the thief who is believed to live north of the border.

Talk about the f**king Keystone Cops!!!

Man City was founded by a plastic paddy

  Your editorial (Blue heaven, September 3) on the surreal goings-on at Manchester City is all the more poignant when the roots of the club are taken into account. In 1880, Anna Connell, the 25-year-old daughter of the rector of St Mark's Church in Gorton, founded the football club that became the Eastlands-based plc we know today.
Connell fought for improvements in Gorton, which suffered chronically poor housing and sanitation, through the vehicle of football, advocating playing fields and healthier living. But who has heard of Anna Connell today? Manchester City's new owners? As we witness the bonkers enrichment of a few clubs, football's billionaire owners and millionaire players would do well to remember that the sport of football grew out of a need to improve the health of the disadvantaged, foster community cohesion and alleviate poverty. Football's relentless, and ultimately unsustainable, pursuit of profit is a betrayal of its founding spirit. Nick Reeves London

I was under the impression that the disabled bathroom can be used, although obviously priority would go to a disabled person. I know I use it when the gents toilet is closed for cleaning.

In saying that a lot have a separate baby changing area outside the main toilet blocks which is a good thing.

Policeman to stand trial for contempt over 'judge arrest threat'
10 minutes ago
From the section Northern Ireland
psni
Image caption
Mr Carlin appeared in court dressed in his PSNI uniform
A policeman who allegedly approached one of Northern Ireland's most senior judges and threatened to arrest him is to go on trial for contempt of court.
Thomas Anthony Carlin was dressed in uniform as he attended Belfast's Royal Courts of Justice again on Thursday.
He declined to apologise for his actions at an earlier hearing.
He also rejected an offer of legal representation and asked to have a jury decide on his behaviour towards Lord Justice Gillen.
But another judge refused his request, instead listing the case to be heard by him next week.
Mr Justice Horner said: "I'm going to arrange for a trial to take place on this issue of whether or not there has been contempt in the face of the court.
"I will hear it, there will not be a jury."
He also warned the policeman that, if found guilty, he could be fined or sent to prison.
Mr Carlin's alleged outburst came at the end of a ruling in a house repossession case in the High Court on Tuesday.
'Threat to arrest judge'
The 43-year-old had been representing himself in the legal battle with Santander bank over a property in County Antrim.
At the end of the hearing, he allegedly got up and moved towards the bench, claiming he was going to arrest Lord Justice Gillen.
Security and court staff intervened before he was led from the courtroom.
He was arrested on suspicion of two counts of common assault, but subsequently released without charge.
The Police Ombudsman was also notified.
Mr Carlin is alleged to have interrupted proceedings without justification, refused to resume his seat, approached the presiding judge, threatened to arrest him without lawful excuse and physically interfered with a court tipstaff.
He had been given until Thursday to secure a lawyer, apologise and provide an explanation for his behaviour.
Refusal to apologise
But shortly after entering the courtroom again, Mr Carlin made his position clear.
He told Mr Justice Horner: "I believe for me to apologise to the court would be abandoning my defence."
The offer of legal assistance from a law firm that deals with the Police Federation was also turned down.
Mr Carlin further said: "I acted in my capacity as a police officer, I believed a crime had been committed (and) it was outrageous in nature.
"I believe the tipstaff and court staff who intervened... obstructed me in the execution of my duty."
At one stage Mr Justice Horner asked if he denied the alleged behaviour set out in writing.
"I completely dispute those facts," the officer replied.
The judge then cautioned him: "You realise that should you be found guilty of contempt in the face of the court you will be liable for a number of penalties including imprisonment."
Mr Carlin responded that he would comply with the findings of a jury.
However, he was told to turn up on Monday for a trial to be decided by Mr Justice Horner alone.

A referee was murdered on the football pitch just moments after he showed a player a red card in Argentina.

SHARE
Cesar Flores, 48, was shot three times, in the head, chest and neck, by the attacker who is still at large and being hunted by authorities.

Another player was also shot in the chest but survived - 25-year-old Walter Zarate was rushed to hospital but is said to be recovering.

The incident, which took place in Campo de la Bribera, the provincial capital of Cordoba, Argentina, on Sunday, saw the man run onto the pitch and pull a gun from his backpack as the game was being played.

"It all happened during the match," police spokesman told the Efe news agency. "We don't know what happened with the referee but the player was angry and went to get his gun and killed him."

They are sharp enough. MHR normally is well able to hold his own in public appearances. They are unashamedly parish pump politicians, and play on the 'Above in Dublin' theme to their benefit. But as parish pump politicians they work hard and are consummate pros.

They glory in the country bumpkin image, and use it to get people to underestimate them. That's my take on them..

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/mar/26/queensland-tradesman-has-more-than-590m-in-bank-account-court-hears?CMP=share_btn_fb

QuoteA tradesman pulled over by police in a luxury sports car has more than $590m in the bank but is not "at liberty" to say how he got it, a Brisbane court has heard.

Phillip Johnathan Harrison was granted bail in the Brisbane magistrates' court on Saturday, a day after police pulled him over in an Audi sports car and found quantities of ice, Viagra and ecstasy.

The court heard the bricklayer and carpenter told officers he was worth $12bn and later explained to his lawyer he had been given the car by the government.

The duty lawyer Nick Hanly said he had asked the 29-year-old the origin of his significant net wealth, which he had apparently only come into in the past 12 months.

"He said he wasn't at liberty to say," Hanly told the court.

"At this point, I was considering getting mental health to come in."

But Hanly said Harrison then urged him to log on to his online banking account – which showed a cash balance of $596m ((£316m, $447m US) and a property portfolio of $1.56bn (£830,000, $1.17bn US).

Such a net worth would make the labourer wealthier than the likes of the Harvey Norman co-founder Gerry Harvey, the mining magnate Andrew Forrest and the property and construction king Lang Walker.

"I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Hanly said of his client's bank balance.

The court heard Harrison was an ice user.

The police prosecutor Sergeant Sean Francis suggested Harrison's passport be surrendered as a condition of bail, given his means could make him an increased flight risk.

The magistrate Anthony Gett agreed and also granted bail on the condition Harrison reside at a Tewantin address.

Harrison spoke outside court, saying his wealth came from profitable shares and from overseas sources. He said the money had nothing to do with drugs.

"How would I make billions in drugs without being caught? My investments, my ideas in cars, apps, trade, I sold them overseas, have been for years," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The matter will return to court on April 18.

No doubt there are many, if not most, of the Northern Ireland players who are not sectarian. Northern Ireland itself is sectarian, it was founded and continues to exist in order to promote sectarianism. Saying so is simple fact and only identifies the poster as realistic not sectarian.

Thats simplifying the matter greatly to be honest. If the alternative in both situations, Ireland and India, was to leave the country whole and let them sort it out amongst themselves it wouldn't have been pleasant. The UVF were armed to the teeth and the ensuing war between them and the ira could only have descended into a genocide. The simmering religious tensions in India would have also lead to murder and displacement of the minority in whatever region.

Partition was troublesome and was far from ideal but so me a solution that wasn't.

I think it is more than quite a few. English football seems to attract more than its fair share and the tribalism that goes with following a club regularly crosses the line in my opinion. If Vardy played for a higher profile club, some fans of the rivals of that club would automatically attack critics of those texts with 'what about...' arguments or whatever.

I think that anything that is followed that religiously attracts both extreme behaviour and people that justify it.

The thing I will never understand is why do folk have twitter accounts, especially famous people, surely everyone knows as AZ says there are some pure scum of the earth out there, if there is no account to troll you can't be trolled, is a twitter account not a pre-req of famous people?

Are you serious??? You're never done trolling me on here, god knows what you're like elsewhere....  ;D

So trolling is pointing out that someone who purports to be a rational human being is a racist, full of hatred, a hypocrite, full of small man syndrome and can only argue his point on here by resulting to personal abusive insults whilst at the same time crying that another poster has insulted them.  No wonder you keep getting made redundant probably find the lies out you tell at interview stage wearing your built up shoes and conclude pay to get this individual out and restore order!

My wifes elderly aunt stayed overnight in a Chicago hospital. She'd been visiting her brother who'd been in there for a while after a stroke. Didn't feel well, seen the doctor and was advised to stay there overnight. Doctor the next day concluded she was suffering from anxiety.

She got the bill in a couple of days ago

$21000 for the overnight stay

Still waiting on the doctors fee

Exactly, he fled the scene after hitting the young woman, no license, no insurance, intimidating the woman who sold him the car, blaming foreigners and with the law as it is probably get a suspended sentence and banned from driving for a few years, heart goes out to the victims family.

Ridiculous. If he was 18 or over he wouldn't have got bail. I could look past it if he had possibly panicked but to try and cover his tracks and tell someone to lie to police for him! Cnut deserves all he gets. Fed up with this boy racer culture of fellas driving barely road worthy cars at ridiculous speeds putting lives at risk. There are enough legitimate drivers who can barely drive as it is

There will be no point in issuing a driving ban against lads like that. If he was prepared to drive at high speed and undertake a car without having passed his test, he's unlikely to abide by a driving ban. Maybe a couple of years in the clink will wise him up a bit.

While not as bad as what this individual seems to have been up to  I would imagine many of the posters on here, myself included have probably been involved in some sort of driving incidents when younger that but  for the grace of God could have had tragic consequences. You do wise up when you get older.

It's the same all over the north but then again they aren't taught how to drive at speed.. then restricted to 45 mph for a year or whatever after they pass. So no wonder there are so many crashes involving young male drivers. The cars they drive are quite powerful as well, gone are the days of 1.2 l novas and clio fart boxes they're cruising about in relatively powerful diesels and having the engines mapped and other mods, lowering them driving, driving with dodgy tyres etc. How on earth did someone sell that tool a saab anyway? I'm selling a car and if a 17 year old came to look at it (minus parents) I'd tell him to be on his way

I was in Manchester airport yesterday having a bit of breakfast and a man in a wheelchair came along and asked to share the table to order some breakfast. Canadian. Really nice fella. His story was he was idling in stalled traffic when he got smashed from behind. A girl with a puppy on her lap and using her phone basically changed his life. She fought it for 3 years in court. He had a good job he loved but he started to lose balance at work because of nerve damage and was let go. He is left with severe disability and is often in bad pain. His quality of life and life expectancy badly compromised.
I was almost in tears. I d run the Manchester marathon the day before and while a bit stiff and sore I couldn't get my head around being fucked up by some shite driver and not being able to run or whatever again.
Roads are for getting to work etc, not for racing. Accidents happen but there has to be a duty of care there.

Unfortunately you only have to drive sensibly for an hour in your lifetime and when you pass that test many people turn into morons on the road. Unfortunately you can be as sensible as you like but you are reliant on all other road users fulfilling their part of the bargain. This lad in Armagh is different gravy though - 17 years old with no licence and by the sounds of it doesn't give a shit.

Makes you pine a bit for "community policing".

The ' don't give a shit' are too bloody common. Off the top of my head I know of a few recently. I mean I know/knew these fellas rather than hearing about them and that's just me.

One lad tried to climb a tree with a friend's car but luckily killed nobody else.

Another animal gave a girl a lift and left her severely brain damaged and destroyed for life. He did time but is probably the better for it. He was a fat **** and was filleted like a fish by the seat belt and lost 4/5 stone in recovery. Between that and the diet inside he has probably benefited from that crash. The sidekick fella he had with him in the car that day when they gave that girl a lift is one of the most despicable individuals I ve even encounterd. A litany of crashes and other shite to his name, he came out of that smash relatively ok. Neck brace and one arm in a cast but the other free to schull pints and carry on. And boy did he carry on.

There is no way to stop young men killing themselves while driving too fast. It's there in the stats in every country. We stayed in a BnB in Longford one time. the  mother of the house was a nurse in Cavan hospital and the night we were there she attended to a serious injury that resulted in death. Boy racer, age 18, who was driving around in circles with a friend to see who could go faster. He lost control and went into a wall.

We stayed in a BnB in Longford one time. the  mother of the house was a nurse in Cavan hospital and the night we were there she attended to a serious injury that resulted in death. Boy racer, age 18, who was driving around in circles with a friend to see who could go faster. He lost control and went into a wall.

What about the innocent bystanders unfortunately that these irresponsible selfish individuals take out.

Unfortunately you only have to drive sensibly for an hour in your lifetime and when you pass that test many people turn into morons on the road. Unfortunately you can be as sensible as you like but you are reliant on all other road users fulfilling their part of the bargain. This lad in Armagh is different gravy though - 17 years old with no licence and by the sounds of it doesn't give a shit.

Makes you pine a bit for "community policing".

My thoughts exactly.

The Monaghan Road would be quite a popular road for running/cycling on and the decent hard should and good straight lends to relative safety compared to most places.  It really was a tragedy.

I've been speaking to a few lads around this fella's age and they all share the opinion that he is nothing but a ****, involved in all sorts and being in incidents with cars before.  I genuinely feel if this had occurred at night time he would have gotten away with it and turning himself in was a formality as he knew he would have been caught, no regret or compassion for the girl whatsoever. 

Hearing about him threatening the woman he purchased the car off has only reinforced people's opinion of the type of person he must be.  Hopefully he gets the book fucked at him the p***k.

Even that he was doing something as reckless as undertaking there is paled into significance by his subsequent actions - driving on, lying, trying to cover tracks. Hopefully the book is thrown at him.

One thing I'd note, I regularly see walkers and joggers on that stretch of road, and they usually seem to be in the middle of the hard shoulder, or even on the road side. I've thought in the past that its very dangerous, if someone did get a blow out or genuinely had to use it in a hurry they wouldn't be able to avoid them.

I'd be fond of running this stretch of road regularly thankfully the dog likes to stay on the grass so that keeps me tight enough in from the road, but tbh I've rarely thought about these things above and doubt anyone else who uses it would consider these.

How can the judge justify bail in that scenario?

Dublin City councillor Mannix Flynn said  "I think the Spire is very inspirational. I don't think there is a citizen that isn't proud of it. It has grown on people. It works very well. It is a wonderful piece of public art."

Its nuts to think how he is back in after 70% of the people voted against him. If a new FG leader had been elected there MAY at least be some sense of change but all I sense is a mood of despair in the country with his re-appointment. He also has a brass neck to canvass for the job as openly as he obviously did despite the anger towards the last administration.

Marriage equality was only a stop on a journey. The destination is full equality for all; for women's reproductive rights, for the people imprisoned in direct provision, for Travellers denied their ethnicity, for people screaming for help from inadequate mental health services, for people with disabilities treated terribly, for children living in poverty, for elderly people living in fear, for the thousands without homes, for flimsy hate crime legislation, and all the other inequalities this nation presides over.

Easy. Mother in law bought me a Mach 3 about 10 years ago with 5 blades. Still using them and the wife has also been known to use them to maintain her modesty.  Just because the gel strip (and whatever the white strip does) disappear doesn't make them unusable.

Before I was bought the Mach 3 I'd the same bic disposable for about 3 years (rusty corners and all).

Sadly, what would seem to be normal can look exceptional in a backdrop of riot police, Russian heavies, and little Englanders, arms outstretched, chanting 'Stand up if you hate the french'.

They are not doing any harm, and maybe are even enhancing our reputation as a shower who like a drink and a singsong. It's not the worst thing in the world.

Fair play decent post AZ, just a bit mad that normal behavior is treated as exceptional by the media, however as you said it is a good news story as opposed to the usual shootings and killings. I was over in the states lately and witnessed complete trampish behavior by Irish in the 20-25 age category. Some of these are probably over in France now, think Irish soccer supporters have got the name of early risers. Muppet, read the book and seen the film, quality stuff, however the buckeen was flawed.

I don't think anyone is criticising the Irish fans for behaving, or indeed for anything. But I know I don't need to see, day after day on Facebook, videos of lads just enjoying themselves and calling them national heroes.

As an aside, at the Euros in 1988, the fans behaviour had a big impact on the hosts and the supporters of the teams they played against. I am aware of a group of Dutch business men who brought loads of under-priveledged kids from rough areas of Dublin, on trips to Holland, purely on the back of the fun they had with Irish fans in Euro 1988.

So it can have a good impact, and I am not knocking it. But the relentless aren't we great videos and particularly news stories is getting tiresome.

News and media - How great the Irish Supporters are in France. Singing and dancing and even cleaning up after themselves. Fu@k me it would sicken yer hole. In truth we are a bunch of gombeens who can't handle our drink. Whats with this bullshit culture that everything gets videoed and put on on youtube, facebook or snapshite.  I'm off to the Alaskan wilderness to live a life of solitude. :'(

Saying it would 'sicken your hole ' ??

Also you needn't be so rude .. In your reply but then it explains a lot

Because it's a bit OTT. It's just getting repetitive. In my opinion :) But lookit, it's great they are having a great time, and it's great they are behaving themselves. And it's great they are making more friends, so it's all good :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem#Personal_life

Sanitation worker DeAngelo Bailey sued Eminem for $1 million in 2001, accusing him of invading his privacy by publicizing information placing him in a false light in "Brain Damage", a song which portrays him as a violent school bully. Although Bailey admitted picking on Eminem in school, he said he merely "bumped" him and gave him a "little shove". The lawsuit was dismissed on October 20, 2003

If there is one thing I don't like in the media, it is someone saying that they themselves are great. The worst example would be some BBC commentary on their soccer or rugby teams, but we are definitely not immune to this type of hubris in Ireland.

I prefer to seek out neutral commentary if at all possible.

Have to agree a bit with some of the previous posters about the self glorification coming back from France. I suppose it is a generational thing and the advent of the internet.

Only so much stories about Irish fans stopping  traffic to help cute family of ducks to cross the road/  singing with (insert nationality ) fans at 2am in the morning  etc etc you can take I suppose before you get hardbitten. 

Does the world do understatement anymore?

All imho of course.

Crime pays in this country. You see it all the time in cases of welfare fraud where someone has cheated thousands from the system over a number of years, gets a suspended sentence, and that's the debt wiped. Madness, when the obvious solution is to deduct the money from any future benefits they might be entitled to, until it's paid back in full with interest.

It suggests to me that the farmer was hounding representatives of the bank when they tried to remove cattle of repossessed land. I don't know how that develops into, "Lets shoot them" let alone getting the army to carry it out.

"He alleges that gate chains were repeatedly cut allowing cattle onto roads endangering the local community."

and this...

"it was carried out by trained army personnel in the interests of the animals, public safety, and to prevent the spread of TB in local livestock following consultations between himself, Department of Agriculture officials, An Garda Síochána and the Defence Forces."


Then this summarises the situation:

"As Official Assignee I have a duty to recover value from assets of bankruptcy estates and it is clearly not in my interests to kill cattle, nor would I do it, without firstly having exhausted every other possible avenue open to me to resolve the problem".


So in conclusion, at least according to the above, we are a long way from the banks blindly sending in the army to shoot cows.

I thought the same as you when I read the headline.

Then I read the report. It strongly suggests something different to simply shooting cows for banks.

It suggests to me that the farmer was hounding representatives of the bank when they tried to remove cattle of repossessed land. I don't know how that develops into, "Lets shoot them" let alone getting the army to carry it out.

One case of foot and mouth in England and it will be open season for any moos in the border area.  The DUP will be telling anyone that will listen that their cows are irish and fully supportive of open borders and freedom of  movement.

Would expect MM to shortly pull the plug on the government before EK is shown the door and the "bounce" of a new FG leader. Some trumped up issue found to do so. State needs a strong leader post Brexit and MM will say he is it. These opportunities don't come around too often.

Would say Bertie, CJH, Lynch, Lemass, deValera etc would have struck by now.

China's richest man is backing plans to launch a rival to the Uefa Champions League, pushing for European leagues and clubs to join a new competition that would redraw the power structure and finances at the top of the sport.

Dalian Wanda Group, the property and entertainment conglomerate run by billionaire Wang Jianlin, said it is in talks with the game's power brokers across the continent to create a breakaway tournament to Europe's most prestigious club competition.


Wanda is promising more places for the sport's heavyweight teams and a steep increase in broadcasting rights revenues

Gardaí are investigating after an off-duty detective was beaten following a Sligo A1 Minor Championship game between Shamrock Gaels and Owenmore Gaels.

The game - which took place on Friday night, September 2nd at Shamrock Gaels' Coola Pitch - was won by Owenmore on a scoreline of 4-8 to 2-12

According to the Irish Independent, rows erupted after the final whistle with members of the Owenmore club being upset regarding referee Joe Hynes' playing of eight minutes of additional time.

Detective Garda Chris O'Neill, who was not on duty at the time, was one of those who escorted Hynes from the pitch. O'Neill, a member of the Shamrock Gaels club, was allegedly punched, fell to the ground and then kicked repeatedly in the head. He briefly lost consciousness.

Sligo County Secretary Gerry O'Connor appeared on Radio One's Morning Ireland to address the incident.

We would hope the victim makes a full recovery.

These incidents are very rare, even in the GAA in general. It's not publicity we would like to see coming our way. It's very unfortunate that it did happen.

I know it happened shortly after the final whistle. I believe there was some altercation, some row; an exchange of views as you often as you often get.

One thing led to another but I believe the assault, if the allegations are true, it was at the higher end of the scale. It was certainly pretty vicious. It all has to be investigated yet.
Owenmore Gaels released a statement on Tuesday via their Facebook page.

Following the minor match in Coola on Friday night September 2nd the club would like to emphasise it does not condone the scenes that followed. We are carrying out our own investigation and are awaiting the findings of the ccc.
The Sligo Competitions Control Committee is also looking into the incident.

That's different. That usually suggests that recipient was actually fortunate it didn't happen (in the case of, say an accident) or he deserved to get the head taken off  him but the aggressor held back.

In this case, where a serious assault happened against a seemingly innocent person, I don't see how the event is unfortunate. It was deliberate and fortune played no part.

It is all well and good demanding justice from the courts, but we all know that the club will see loyalty to their own thugs as being above any loyalty to the game, or to the wider society. Often we see a 'no one saw who it was' stance in these situations.

Either the club involved hands over the perpetrators...

or

a) the result is overturned (I am assuming that, as mentioned above, it was the winning team who were involved - if not disregard) and that minor team is thrown out of this year's competition;
b) ALL club fixtures from minor up to senior to be forfeited indefinitely until the safety of officials dealing with this club and its supporters can be guaranteed - at a minimum the thugs turn themselves in;

Yes there will be many ordinary decent members of that club who will feel it had nothing to do with them. But it had nothing to do with the victim either. The ordinary decent members should be banging tables demanding that action is taken against those who disgraced their club.

The language in bold above is not a good start. In fact it is a very bad start.

Feel sorry for the kids

Child neglect- Boys had overgrown toe-nails 'curled around toes'

The boy's mother lost an appeal at the High Court in Belfast against a decision to take three of her five children into foster care
Three young brothers were so neglected by their parents that their overgrown toe-nails curled around their toes, the High Court in Belfast has heard.
The boys, aged seven, nine and 10, lived in filthy homes covered in dog faeces, and two of them were sent to school in nappies, the judge said.
The judge dismissed an appeal by the boys' mother against the decision to take the three of them into care.

The boys' older siblings, aged 13 and 14, were left in the family home.
'Appalling condition'
Upholding the decision to remove the three youngest boys from their parents, the judge criticised social services for failing to act sooner to protect them.
"Sadly this case is characterised by the children presenting in an appalling condition over many years," the judge said.
The family, who cannot be identified to protect the children, moved house 14 times and lived in squalid accommodation, the judgement said.
It outlined how the three youngest boys were discovered at home in dirty nappies which their parents seemed unmotivated to change.
The children were soiling themselves in school and struggling to make friends because of their personal hygiene.

'Intellectual impairment'
Two of the boys were unable to use a knife and fork and appeared to lack full appreciation of going to the toilet, according to the judge.
In May this year, a health and social care trust secured a care order to remove the three youngest boys from their parents.
When the boys were taken into foster care, their clothes and toys smelt strongly of smoke, body odour and damp, the judge said.
She said their ability to walk improved after seeing a chiropodist about their overgrown toe-nails.
During the case, the court heard that the children's mother had significant intellectual impairment and her husband was described as being aggressive towards social services.

That's a brutal story. Pity of wains being brought up in that. You'd wonder what the schools, neighbours and social services were doing to let it seemingly go on for years.

A child, no matter the background is born innocent and depends entirely on his/her guardian/s for their safety, welfare and guidance through upbringing.  The abuse of children either physically, mentally or by negligence should have serious consequences for the perpetrators of course, but questions should also be asked in cases like the one above,  how was the level of neglect allowed to get to this stage? 
In the Republic, resources are a major issue. Ideally, at risk families are identified at an early stage. They may be dependent on social welfare, have addiction issues etc. To ensure the welfare of any children in the family requires frequent interaction with the family by a dedicated social worker, unfortunately these are few and far between, especially those with adequate training. All too often children who are at risk are only coming to the attention of social services when they start school, by which time behavioral difficulties are prevalent and a lot of resource time is taken up by teachers trying to help these children adapt. The problem is often exasperated by malnutrition and poor hygiene.
Governments everywhere, not just our own need to understand that to plan for the future is to invest in child welfare for how they are brought up will dictate their future role in society.

Unfortunately our election cycles are too short for politicians to give a crap about how kids might turn out.

Unbelievable.  £9 million of public money to "save" a profitable fight route.

Yeah that's the sort of f**k wits running the place. Basically paying a private firm a bonus to run a profitable route. Where else would you get it ?

A senior civil servant advised against it but I think they are more interested in photo ops than doing what is best

Maybe I am missing something but that article makes no reference to the route being profitable. The fact that was going to be cut suggests it isn't. While there is a £9mn cost, there is no mention of what it brings to the local economy. I wouldn't have a clue on this side of things but without that figure I don't think you can draw any sound conclusions as to whether is good expense or bad.

The world's top female chess players have reacted with horror after being told they must compete at next year's world championship wearing a hijab.

Within hours of Iran being revealed as its host country, the prestigious event was plunged into crisis as it emerged players taking part face arrest if they don't cover up.

In response, Grandmasters lined up to say they would boycott the 64-player knock-out and accused the game's scandal-hit governing body Fide of failing to stand up for women's rights.

About 400,000 US soldiers have experienced life-shattering groin injuries and amputations since 2001 , instead of dying, as they would have in previous wars.
Personal armouring has become so effective that instead of dying from IEDs and bullets those personnel are being emasculated and truncated

Before they went off to fight in Afghanistan, the guys of 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines talked quietly about their deepest fear. Not dying. Not losing a leg or an arm.
It was having their genitals ripped off, burned away or crushed in the fiery blast of an improvised explosive device.

Disturbing

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/17/educate-teenagers-porn-attitudes-sex-parents-schools
"A national study of sex in the US found that, in a culture where pornography is used without analysis as sex education – and 60% of teens of both sexes use pornography in this way – girls' sexuality is damaged. Their experience of sex becomes "a performance for male pleasure". In both Britain and the US, rates of teenage pregnancy have fallen significantly in recent years – the obvious conclusion made in both countries is that vaginal intercourse has gone out of fashion, as oral and anal sex are held up instead as the ideal."

That's a fairly big jump to reach that conclusion.  Nothing to do with education on birth control. There's probably an element of truth in there but that ridiculous conclusion belittles the point they're trying to make.

http://gizmodo.com/the-fembots-of-ashley-madison-1726670394

Yesterday I published the results of my analysis of the Ashley Madison member database, which contained 37 million profiles of people seeking discreet affairs. What I discovered was that, at most, about 12 thousand of these profiles seemed to belong to women who were active on the site. The rest of the 5.5 million women had profiles that appeared to have been abandoned directly after they were created.



Once the man struck up a conversation, the bot would say things like this:

Hmmmm, when I was younger I used to sleep with my friend's boyfriends. I guess old habits die hard although I could never sleep with their husbands.
I'm sexy, discreet, and always up for kinky chat. Would also meet up in person if we get to know each other and think there might be a good connection. Does this sound intriguing?"
It's unclear what else the engager would say—either the bots really are this simple, or further chat phrases weren't in the code. Most likely, based on what I saw from other bot code, the bot would urge the man to pay credits to talk further.

Mr. Falcon pointed out that there's actually a special bot service, called "RunChatBotXmppGuarentee.service.php," apparently designed just for interactions with customers who paid the premium $250 for a "guaranteed affair."

The downside of porn for young men. There is still no such thing as a free lunch ....

In 2012, Swiss researchers found Erectile dysfunction rates of 30% in a cross-section of Swiss men aged 18–24 using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) [8]. A 2013 Italian study reported one in four patients seeking help for new onset ED were younger than 40, with rates of severe ED nearly 10% higher than in men over 40 [9]. A 2014 study on Canadian adolescents reported that 53.5% of males aged 16–21 had symptoms indicative of a sexual problem [10].

Unbelievable.  £9 million of public money to "save" a profitable flight route.

Yeah that's the sort of f**k wits running the place. Basically paying a private firm a bonus to run a profitable route. Where else would you get it ?

A senior civil servant advised against it but I think they are more interested in photo ops than doing what is best

Maybe I am missing something but that article makes no reference to the route being profitable. The fact that was going to be cut suggests it isn't. While there is a £9mn cost, there is no mention of what it brings to the local economy. I wouldn't have a clue on this side of things but without that figure I don't think you can draw any sound conclusions as to whether is good expense or bad.

Irish News 12/8/2016

United Airlines had been considering withdrawing its service between the International Airport and Newark in New York, which operates all year round.

A rescue package, believed to be worth around £9 million, was thrashed out between representatives of the airline, Belfast International Airport, ministers and British government officials.

Most of the funding is coming from Stormont but it is understood the deal will not lead to any reduction in fares for passengers.

"Sources told The Irish News that although the Belfast to New York route is profitable, United had been considering removing the flight in favour of destinations within the US which could offer bigger returns"

http://www.irishnews.com/news/2016/08/13/news/stormont-steps-in-with-money-to-keep-belfast-to-new-york-flight-649904/

The permanent secretary of the Dept of the Economy has expressed concerns over the value for money of the deal, but as Arlene said on the news "Civil servants advise and politicians decide"

United Airlines to end Belfast - NY route in January despite £9mill support from Executive in August.  I wonder was any of this money actually paid over??

Apparently a portion was already paid but will be recouped with interest

The latest thing is all these soccer players that have been sexuelly assaulted.  Happened at Crewe.  The coach had 3 sexual assault convictions.  Was no CBR check done on him?

I had the phrase "indubitably my canine friend" going around my head. I thought it was from an American cartoon but I couldn't find it on youtube.
So I googled it. Mr Crow from Wanderly Wagon. He must have been talking to Judge

I was in local bookies a few years back. A man I know called me over and said cherry Phillips has 5 rides today at sprint valley and only one at Portman park. He says he wouldn't be going whole way there if it didn't have a chance. Think won at 11/2. Couldn't write it

SGL ("same gender loving") is sometimes favored among gay male African Americans as a way of distinguishing themselves from what they regard as white-dominated LGBT communities.[61] MSM ("men who have sex with men") is clinically used to describe men who have sex with other men without referring to their sexual orientation.[62][63]
Other variants may have a "U" for "unsure"; a "C" for "curious"; another "T" for "transvestite"; a "TS", or "2" for "two-spirit" persons; or an "SA" for "straight allies".[64][65][66][67][68] However, the inclusion of straight allies in the LGBT acronym has proven controversial as many straight allies have been accused of using LGBT advocacy to gain popularity and status in recent years,[69] and various LGBT activists have criticised the heteronormative worldview of certain straight allies.[70] Some may also add a "P" for "polyamorous", an "H" for "HIV-affected", or an "O" for "other".[24][71] Furthermore, the initialism LGBTIH has seen use in India to encompass the hijra third gender identity and the related subculture.[72][73]
The initialism LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) has also resulted, although such initialisms are sometimes criticized for being confusing and leaving some people out, as well as issues of placement of the letters within the new title.[40] However, adding the term "allies" to the initialism has sparked controversy,[74] with some seeing the inclusion of "ally" as opposed to "asexual" a form of asexual erasure.[75] There is also the acronym QUILTBAG (queer and questioning, intersex, lesbian, transgender and two-spirit, bisexual, asexual and ally, and gay and genderqueer).[76]
The magazine Anything That Moves coined the acronym FABGLITTER from fetish (such as the BDSM community), allies or poly-amorous (as in polyamorous relationships), bisexual, gay, lesbian, intersex, transgender, transsexual engendering revolution or inter-racial attraction; however, this term has not made its way into common usage.[2]
Wesleyan University used the initialism LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, flexual,[clarification needed] asexual, gender-f**k, polyamorous, bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism".[77][78] Some use the much shorter style LGBT+ to mean "LGBT and related communities".[79]

Married teaching assistant jailed for sex acts on boy aged 15 during flight
http://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/married-teaching-assistant-jailed-for-sex-acts-on-boy-aged-15-during-flight-35251390.html

A married teaching assistant who performed a string of sex acts on a 15-year-old boy during an international flight has been jailed for 32 months.
Jill Meldrum-Jones, 37, also committed further offences against the boy while on a school trip after becoming "consumed with lust" and losing her grip on reality, Coventry Crown Court was told.
Meldrum-Jones, from Kineton in Warwickshire, sobbed in the dock as prosecutor Stefan Kolodynski told how the mother-of-two performed oral sex on the boy three times while on board a jet returning to the UK.

The disgraced teaching assistant, who performed three other sex acts on the victim during the flight, pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to a total of seven charges of sexual activity with a child and inciting sexual activity.

A stabbing at the Christmas Markets in Belfast.  Now obviously there isnt a a right place for a stabbing to take place but at a market with kids around, at Christmas time, just seems the lowest of the low.

It wasn't a stabbing. The police say they aren't looking for anyone so either he stabbed himself or he has cut himself on a bottle.

How to Use Mass Persuasion Techniques to Become President of The United States

James Altucher


Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, knows the answer and has known it for years.
So I called him and asked. I needed to know. He told me how Trump won. And he told me how anyone can use these persuasion techniques to improve their lives.
What if you can get people to do whatever you want just by using the right words and subtly hypnotizing everyone you meet?
It sounds like a science fiction novel. But it's true. It's what happened, and it happens every day. Who are the victims? You're the victim.
Scott Adams predicted in September 2015(!) that Donald Trump would become President because, "he is the best master persuader I have ever seen."
Scott Adams trained as a hypnotist and master persuader for years.
"Once you realize that everyone is completely irrational," Scott Adams told me, "your life gets a lot easier.
"You can start to use the principles behind this to see why people really do things, as opposed to using rational facts, and then use that to your advantage.
"Understanding that people are irrational has made my life a lot better."
But how did he predict a year and a half ago that Trump would win? I needed to know how. And how I could do it.
Trump was the unlikely choice to be President. Just like Scott was the unlikely choice to be one of the world's most popular cartoonists with Dilbert.
But we can all learn the skills that Scott learned.
Scott heard a story that made him want to change his life in his 20s. His mother had delivered birth to his sister without the use of anesthetics.
She was hypnotized. "She felt no pain," Scott said.
So Scott, in his 20s, learned all the techniques of hypnosis.
"You mean," I said, "You can take a gold watch and swing it in front of their eyes and make them do what you want?"
"That has never happened," Scott said, "Except in movies.
"What you learn is that basically everything people do is completely irrational. And then they rationalize it later.
"Like, they might say they voted for Trump because of his policies but this is just a rationalization. Everyone is irrational and everyone is subject to persuasion."
Everything seemed against Trump. But somehow he beat 16 candidates in the primaries and one big candidate in the election.
And, Scott says, all the theories as to why he won have been wrong.
So I called him up and asked him what happened. And he told me:

The Linguistic Kill Shot
"Trump described everyone using two techniques:
– words that had never been used in politics before
– words that were visual. So every time you looked at the candidate being described you would look for confirmation bias."
Example: Jeb Bush he described as "low energy". "Low energy" had never been used to describe a candidate before so they stood out.
And whenever you looked Jeb, unless he was jumping around, you would automatically look for clues that showed he was low energy.
Trump systematically did this with everyone who was frontrunner against him, including "Crooked Hillary" which referred both to her legal troubles and the persistent rumors that she was sick.

Charisma = Power + Empathy
Scott said, "Trump clearly had the Power part down. But he was low on Empathy.
"So he used polling to figure out what the critical issue was for the most amount of people and came up with Immigration. By going with this issue he proved he had empathy with his base.
"Expect him as President to try to show empathy to a much larger group of people."

Overselling the Story
"Trump consistently oversold his point. For instance, 'Build a Wall'."
He used hyperbole because it's the direction that counts.
"It didn't matter that the facts didn't support him. His base was listening to the direction while all the media was getting bogged down in the weeds.
"And in many cases, he would back down. He would recognize if he oversold too much and back down on it.
"But again, the media would show his views for free because he was so outlandish and his supporters would note the direction, not the facts."
I asked Scott: What would happen to Trump if a "Rick Perry" situation occurred like in 2012, where Perry couldn't name the 3 cabinet departments he wanted to eliminate and that destroyed his campaign?
Scott said, "If Trump was stumbling to name the three he would just say, 'You know what? There are 10 cabinet positions I'd eliminate! You probably can guess the ones I'm talking about."
"And then while everyone would be scratching their heads trying to figure out if there are even ten cabinet departments, his supporters would be just note the direction."

Audacity
Early on he would say things that were so audacious nobody could believe a Presidential candidate would be saying these things.
But people got used to it. It got him free media coverage which allowed him to spend less than half of what Hillary spent.
It allowed him to consistently say audacious and outlandish things throughout the campaign without upsetting his base.

Embrace the Argument
If you just outright reject someone, they won't even pay attention to what you say.
But with everyone he spoke with, he would start off agreeing with them and then start to turn people towards supporting his ideas.
Even with Hillary, he would say: "She has great experience" before following it up with, "but after 30 years, what has changed?"

Talent Stack
Scott said, "I'm not the funniest guy in the room. And I'm not the best at drawing. But I'm pretty good at both and that's where Dilbert comes from.
"It's really hard to be the best in the world at one thing," Scott told me, "But if you are 'pretty good' at a bunch of things and use them together, you can succeed.
"Trump has one of the best talent stacks I've ever seen. He's not the smartest guy in the room, but he's pretty good at public speaking, business smarts, humor, hiring and firing, politics, etc."
Again, he didn't know as much as the other candidates about every political issue.
"Expect him to get to know the facts that are important once he is President. But he was pretty good at knowing what was going on and combined that with the other "pretty good" things in his talent stack."

Blame others for people's suffering
"While Hillary was focusing on 'I'm With Her' and 'Let's make history with the first woman President', Trump was focusing on 'Draining the Swamp' and 'Let's Make America Great Again'.
These were much more powerful persuasion messages."

Did Hillary have a chance?
How could Hillary have fought better using her own persuasion techniques?
"Hillary was running a strong persuasion game in the summer," Scott told me. "She might even have won if she stuck with it."
" 'Dangerous Donald' was scary for people. But then her campaign leaked the Billy Bush video and even though it caused Trump to dip in the polls, it wasn't as bad as portraying him as a madman at the nuclear controls. Ironically, that bad news actually helped Trump."

My podcast with Scott comes out later today.
I wanted to learn other things from him. Like how can I, or anyone, learn these persuasion techniques.
What are the easiest techniques to learn?
He told me on the podcast. Plus he was very honest and told me a trick he uses with the women he dates.

Does any of this mean Trump is going to be good or bad?
This article isn't about that. It's just about what Trump, and all political candidates, do to win elections. Trump, according to Scott, was just particularly good at it. "The best I've ever seen".

Is it bad that people are irrational? That facts don't matter?
Yes.
But it's the reality. Our brains were built to hunt for food in scary and uncertain situations.
In our more complex society, we still respond to primitive emotions even if they are now irrational.
Do I want to be better at persuading so my life is better? Of course.
The reality is: I'm easily influenced and have to constantly remind myself everyone has an agenda all the time.
I don't think it matters who is President. There are too many forces at work to check and balance everything.
But it does matter how I react, how I build my life day by day. It's my choice (I hope) whether or not I have a good impact on others.
Or not. Maybe Scott hypnotized me into writing this. In which case, he did an excellent job

Well said!

They have virtually no advertising to do, genius that.

Here is one for youse to ponder.

So I was working last night until eleven, went straight home and jumped on the bike for 20 minutes ( turbo trainer ) I was getting ready for bed as I started again at 6am and as I am brushing the teeth I hear a roar and an almighty clatter on my door, some hoor is telling me the police are at the door and that I need to open the door, fack that I can't see its the cops so I ignore it and after another few minutes of roaring and banging I say fcuk it and saunter out, only to find a feckin swat team with guns drawn and laser sights aiming at my chest, I put the hands up, get frisked and they get my details, they ask what I did with the knife ( my drunken neighbour was shitfaced and high and decided it would be fun to evil with a Hungarian)
Anyhoo, it took the dicks a full half hour to realise I was being honest, they searched my place and left it exactly as I had, my three neighbours were not so fortunate, the one that was arrested for the crime was stupid enough to have two illegally held shotguns in the attic, another one was growing large cannabis plants in his house and was screwing the electric company, and the third poor bastard got his place wrecked because of the other two clowns, the swat bitches must have been pissed  at this stage.

In short I went to work this morning without sleep and my two moronic neighbours are looking at jail,time, especially the knife guy, that dude has a lot of prior form with illegal organisations, the world is mad and my 2017 will be my year is fucked at the 25 and a half hour stage!

I am cursed I tell ye (

HOUSTON
Leslie Ray "Popeye" Charping died Jan. 30 of cancer.  He was 74, a veteran and a former Navy boxing champion who lived in south Texas.


>> Read more trending news

ADVERTISING


For his obituary, his family pulled no punches.

Carnes Funeral Home in south Houston published a brutally frank obituary, apparently written by a family member, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Charping died, the obit reads, "29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved." It then notes that the man left behind "two relieved children and countless other victims."

The punching continues.

"At a young age, Leslie quickly became a model example of bad parenting combined with mental illness and a complete commitment to drinking, drugs, womanizing and being generally offensive," according to the obit.


Charping was arrested several times during his life, according to Harris County court records. His first conviction came in 1979 when he pleaded guilty to assault.

He also pleaded guilty in 2008 to assaulting a family member by pouring hot liquid on his then-wife of 40 years. The next year he pleaded guilty to violating the resulting restraining order by calling another family member and threatening to kill her, the Chronicle reported.

"Leslie's hobbies included being abusive to his family, expediting trips to heaven for the beloved family pets and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned," the obituary read. "Leslie's life served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities."

And finally, the knockout punch to eternity as the family applies a final burn.

"With Leslie's passing he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving husband, father and good friend.  No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no apologies to the family he tortured. 'Leslie's remains will be cremated and kept in the barn until the family donkey's wood shavings run out.

"Leslie's passing proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all."

Attempts to access the Carnes Funeral Home website now sends viewers to a message the reads "The page that you are looking for is not here. Please try again." Other efforts bring a warning that a "threat has been detected." A virus scare for an obituary that went viral.

A more muted obituary for Charping now can be found on the funeral home's Legacy page.

Listening to that programme in the north, it always strikes me that those who ring in with the extreme racist views are by and large loyalists. Racism in general fairly common agreed, and the irony of my post isn't lost on me, it is, nonetheless, accurate, and provides some further insight into a community which is clearly terrified of losing what they have.

Jesus! One dumb feck comes on and says the daftest of comments ever!! And now its fairly common among Loyalist/unionist/Prods

Racism is fairly common full stop

Unionism is intrinsically racist, so it is much more common there than among civilised people.

Loyalists/unionists etc are concerned by anyone that wants equality.
its bred in them that they should be first and no one should threaten that status quo.
Everyone else are 2nd class citizens

Unionism is paranoid. It is no wonder it gets on so well with Zionism.

In 2012, Swiss researchers found Erectile dysfunction rates of 30% in a cross-section of Swiss men aged 18–24 using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) [8]. A 2013 Italian study reported one in four patients seeking help for new onset ED were younger than 40, with rates of severe ED nearly 10% higher than in men over 40 [9]. A 2014 study on Canadian adolescents reported that 53.5% of males aged 16–21 had symptoms indicative of a sexual problem [10].

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-39182653

Two men from Albania who have been charged with firearms offences did not realise they were in Northern Ireland, a court has been told.

A gun was found in a car after it was stopped by police on the Dublin Road in Enniskillen on Friday, the court also heard.

Lorenc Dashi, 34, from Dublin Road, Cavan, Mariglen Hoxha, 21, and Arlind Rrapaj, 22, of no fixed abode in Dublin are each charged with having a firearm in suspicious circumstances and possession of an offensive weapon.

Mr Dashi is also accused of obstructing a police officer, driving without a licence and without insurance.

A detective constable told Enniskillen Magistrates' Court that the gun was found hidden underneath a false floor behind the passenger seat.

The court was told that two of the men had arrived in Dublin three weeks ago and claimed refugee status.

They had been given temporary leave to remain while their case was considered, but were supposed to remain in the Republic of Ireland.

A solicitor said the pair did not realise they were in Northern Ireland.

The two men did not speak English and one of the defendants had to translate the court proceedings as no Albanian interpreter was available.

No bail application was made and the three men were remanded in custody for two weeks.

Heartbreaking text messages reveal how a 14-year-old girl was desperate for her 'abusive' mother's love before she live streamed her suicide on Facebook.

Gina Alexis allegedly beat her daughter Naika Venant with a belt, abandoned her to the child care system and even sent her cruel, abusive text messages. But that never stopped the teen from wanting to come home to her mom.

Text messages, seen by the Miami Herald, show Naika begging her mother to take her back and promising to be her 'little girl' again.

'I wanna make this work betwn us...Tell me what I gotta Do & iLL Do iT Im Tired Of Us Fighting We Needa Make This Work Im Ready for Us to be a Team AGAIN,' she wrote in a message last September. 'IWanna Be That Little Girl Yhu Once Had iM Ready to Grow up && Take Responsibility As a Teenager.'

Heartbreaking texts reveal how 14-year-old Naika Venant (right) was desperate for her 'abusive' mother Gina Alexis' love before she live streamed her suicide on Facebook. Alexis has denied being cruel to her daughter and wept in a press conference over the weekend (left)

The 14-year-old, who had been bumped around 14 foster homes in just 16 months, promised to do anything to come home.

'ICan Do Better iKnow ICan Gimme Another Chance. I Don't Wanna Be Here Tryna Stay Strong,' she wrote.

'All that urban talk,' appears to have been Alexis' taciturn reply, according to the redacted message records.

This victim in this incident was a chap who myself and Ziggy90 would know from drinking in the same watering hole. Was talking to him on St Patricks day, usual craic about the horses etc as was gold cup day. Heard this news then on the weekend. Horrific and tragic. As well as "what the f**k" just makes you wonder what kind of evil bastards there are out there and there is no way in hell this wasn't seen by someone.

Had an occasion to visit the doctor's surgery this week. Don't worry - Orior is as healthy as a healthy thing and will be around for my more posts.

But I was well entertained whilst in the waiting area. Two young mothers talking to each other across the room. Each had at least two children, all to different fathers. Kids Keaton and Logan (aged about 3 an 4) were wrecking the place and an admin came out to tell the mothers to rein them in. Among the various topics discussed were:
- how good / bad the various fathers behaved
- another girl who met a man on plentymorefish.com and took her kids over to Wales to meet him on a blind date
- piercing the boys ears when they were aged two, with 18 caret gold

A very entertaining 20 minutes.

I was just about to post this link! Unbelievable stuff.

The segment, on BBC Radio Leeds, was hosted by presenter Nathan Turvey during Sunday's breakfast programme.

Listeners were asked to guess the identity of a person "who'd been in the news" from a series of musical clues.

Turvey played excerpts from tracks including The Brady Bunch theme song and The Smiths' Suffer Little Children.

The presenter, who was standing in for the station's regular Sunday host, also played Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes and Talking Heads' Psycho Killer before saying: "They were four songs all linked to someone in the news this week, all you've got to do is work out who it is," and asked listeners to call in with their guesses.

Over 2,000 people turned up at Knock shrine in anticipation of an apparition, after a teenage boy claimed there would be one there this afternoon.

The boy claims to have seen a vision of Our Lady in Fatima last month and said she told him she would appear to him again at Knock, at 3pm today.

Local gardaí put a traffic management plan in place, in the event that large crowds would travel to the shrine.

The 14-year-old boy was among a group of people from the travelling community from Britain that travelled to Fatima last month.

He claimed he experienced visions there and that these would be repeated today.

A large crowd in the Church of the Apparition in Knock led to fears for the safety of the boy who claimed that he would have a vision.

The crowd dispersed following intervention by stewards.

Parish Priest Fr Richard Gibbons has discouraged such gatherings from an organisational and authentication perspective.

Details of the boy's claims have been shared extensively on social media groups in recent weeks.

psychosis

Spell  Syllables

noun, plural psychoses  [-seez] (Show IPA). Psychiatry.
1.
a mental disorder characterized by symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations, that indicate impaired contact with reality.
2.
any severe form of mental disorder, as schizophrenia or paranoia.

I'd say Trump has displayed aspects of both these traits since coming to power in the US.

Archaeologists announced on Thursday that while excavating in the Templo Mayor complex in Tenochtitlan, in modern Mexico City, they uncovered what could be the largest ceremonial skull rack ever built by the Aztecs more than 500 years ago.Eduardo Matos, an archaeologist at the National Institute of Anthropology and History, thinks the skull rack "was a show of might" by the Aztec leaders, built to inspire fear and awe. It was common to invite friends and even enemies into the city, with the main purpose of letting them see the heads in various stages of decomposition.

But this type of superstitious nonsense is all over Ireland. This gobshite is merely given public voice to it.

I grew up in rural Donegal, and there were certain trees (usually hawthorn) which couldn't be touched because they were "fairy" trees.

There was even a legend about some tree in the middle of Ballintra where every man who attempted to cut it down met their demise soon afterwards!

Luas driver refused route because it was too close to end of shift
WRC hears operator refused to drive because route due in one minute before end of shift
Darragh McDonagh

A Luas driver came close to losing his job after refusing to operate a tram that was due to arrive at its destination shortly before his shift ended.
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) heard that on November 11th last the tram was scheduled to leave the Red Cow stop at 8.31pm and travel to the city centre before returning at 9.59pm – one minute before the end of the driver's shift.
An adjudication hearing was told that the driver was concerned that "the least little delay" would result in him overrunning the end of his shift, and "this was something he was anxious to avoid".
No particular reason was given for his determination to avoid overrunning the end of his shift, other than "general inconvenience," WRC officer Penelope McGrath noted.
The 8.31pm service did not run as a result of the standoff and a subsequent disciplinary process found that the driver's refusal to perform duties specified in his job description had constituted gross misconduct.
His employer did not accept that the driver had an option not to do this task "simply because it ran a little close to the end of his shift"; and said that he should be available for the entirety of his shift, and "not just the parts he chose".
Gross misconduct could have resulted in summary dismissal but the employer instead chose to impose a lesser sanction of a 12-month warning letter.

Unblemished record
A dispute arose between the driver and his employer concerning the severity of this sanction, and the matter was referred to the WRC.
In his submission, the driver asked that his previously unblemished record since the commencement of his employment in 2004 be taken into consideration.
His employer made the point that the driver's conduct had constituted gross misconduct and that leniency had already been shown by not dismissing him outright.
It was also noted that the driver's team leader had told him that he could leave the city centre terminus five minutes early to ensure that he got back to the Red Cow Station with time to spare before the end of his shift. However, this had not resolved the situation.
In her decision, Ms McGrath said she was satisfied that the driver had refused to perform a function which was "well within his employer's rights" to ask him to perform.
"On balance, I would accept that the claimant was exposed to being dismissed for his conduct and that the employer did indeed apply leniency by giving him the lesser sanction of the 12-month warning letter," she stated.
She recommended that there be no change to the disciplinary sanction already imposed.

Thankfully yer one from the WRC had a bit of sense and told this knobhead to f**k off.  Maybe Arlene was right about the crocodile thing.

It's legal tender in NI - obviously!
They can change the color all they like but the notes spewed out by the ATM remain legal tender and won't be rendered useless as you suggest.  If they are brought to the bank they will be exchanged for the new notes in circulation.

Bank of England notes are only legal tender in England and Wales, meaning there are no legal tender notes in Scotland at all.

What is legal tender? It simply means if you have a court order against you for money, the person you owe cannot turn down your settlement if you offer to pay by legal tender.

Trivia time - Is 22p of 2ps legal tender? No, but 18p is. For pub quiz use only, be aware that with coins the amount counts. So you can settle court debts of up to 20p in 1ps and 2ps; up to £5 in 5p's & 10p's, and up to £10 in 20p's & 50p's. However, £1 & £2 coins are legal tender up to any amount - in England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.

What if a shop refuses your cash? There's little you can do, shops don't have to sell you goods, whatever you offer for payment.
Let me finish with a quick word to English shopkeepers - please accept Scottish and Northern Irish notes. While not legal tender, they are UK Parliament-approved legal currency, which makes them a perfectly acceptable way to pay."

Your inability to read a sentence is the only astounding part of this. Banks here are not accepting the notes because they are an acceptable form of payment in society, they accept because the are considered legal tender here.  And to the original point, a bank can't simply decide to make it's notes worthless because an ATM gets robbed or the Northern Bank gets done over. Millions of £ of old Northern Bank notes have made their way back to the bank from all over the world in the years since the robbery and they have had little option but to accept them, not because they offer fantastic customer service, but because the notes are considered legal tender despite whatever completely disregarded quirk in law you are hanging your hat on.  Law might provide for those bestowed with freedom of a city to drive their cattle thru it but can I happen in reality?  No.  Could you attempt to lodge £100 of Norn Iron notes in any bank here and be told sorry we can't accept because by the letter of the law it's worthless paper and not legal tender. Yes.  Could it happen in reality? No, because the notes are considered legal tender by all banks here.

Should she not have been sitting in a seat with a seatbelt on? (Not up to date with the law regards belts and minibuses)
The Mum wants bars put on the windows!

I smell bullshit. 

I have seen the window fall out on the bus a few times as i used to travel a distance for school.  Each and every time the window fell out was because people were acting the ballix.

Agreed

Detroit Firefighter Fired for Bringing 'Racially Insensitive' Watermelon to Work

A Detroit firefighter was fired before he officially began his first day on the job for bringing a watermelon to work.
Robert Pattison, 41, introduced himself to his fellow firefighters at Engine 55 at the corner of Joy and Southfield in Detroit by bringing a welcome gift, WJBK reported.

Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty calls this welcome gift "a tradition" for Engine 55's firefighters.

"It's not mandatory, it's voluntary," he said. "You come in bearing gifts. The usual gift is doughnuts, but you are allowed to bring whatever you want to bring in."







Pattison, who was a probationary firefighter, decided to stand out from the crowd and bring a watermelon with a pink bow on top.

Some black firefighters were reportedly offended by Pattison's gesture since 90 percent of the firefighters at Engine 55 are black.

"When you get your first detail at a firehouse you pretty much know what you are getting yourself into," said Patrick Trout. "So you would have to say it was probably a bad call."

McCarty said that some people at the firehouse claim it is "racially insensitive" to bring a watermelon to a firehouse.

Pattison argued that he did not bring in the watermelon as a joke and had no intention of offending his colleagues.

Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said in a statement that Pattison was officially discharged:


There is zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior inside the Detroit Fire Department. On Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, at Engine 55, a trial firefighter (probationary employee) engaged in unsatisfactory work behavior which was deemed offensive and racially insensitive to members of the Detroit Fire Department. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the best course of action was to terminate the employment of this probationary employee.

Despite Commissioner Jones's statement, McCarty does not think Pattison should have lost his job over a watermelon.



advertisement

"I don't think so," McCarty said. "Between what he did and what was there are a few things that could have been done."

Several left-of-center outlets, including HuffPost and the Atlantic, have documented how watermelons are racist symbols of ages past. They primarily argue that the symbol was meant to characterize black people as unclean, lazy, childish, and an unwanted presence.

I know they've rescinded the offer but the fact they even offered Robert Mugabe a goodwill ambassador position at the World Health Organisation in the first place is a complete wtf.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/21/un-lambasted-after-naming-mugabe-goodwill-ambassador

To be fair though he's still a better choice of ambassador than Katy Perry or Rory McIlroy.

Milltown, your club has won many championships. Do you ever recall somebody standing in the middle of St Galls dancefloor being cheered on by his team mates while a stripped stripper performed a sex act on him?

This is not run of the mill.

Private function the club is saying... was it in their clubrooms ?   It's daft as f**k and I'm sure they'll be wile embarrassed but young lads with strippers happens daily id imagine in most countries!

As for the sex act, if that happened, well that's wrong!

The GAA is not about "lads".  WTF message does that send out to girls/women involved in CLG?    The GAA have closed grounds for indiscipline so you would expect a 1 year ban from all competition for the men's senior team at minimum?

The club has already said it was a private function! There is no club in Ireland that would sanction that.. are you being serious? A years ban? So any GAA club player that is recorded hanging out with strippers should be banned?

George H.W. Bush apologizes for alleged groping incident
By NOLAN D. MCCASKILL
  | 10/26/2017 07:28 AM EDT

Former President George H.W. Bush apologized through a spokesman Wednesday after an actress alleged that he had groped her years ago.

Heather Lind, who played Anna Strong in AMC's "Turn: Washington Spies," wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post that the former president had "sexually assaulted" her during a photo op in 2013.

"He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side," she said. "He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again."

Jim McGrath, a spokesman for the former president and first lady, didn't deny the allegations.

"President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind," McGrath said in a statement, according to The Washington Post.

Lind said Bush's security guard had told her she shouldn't stand next to the former president and recalled that "Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say 'not again.'"

She concluded her post with the hashtag "#metoo," a platform women have used to share their experience of sexual assault and harassment.

McGrath expanded on his initial statement later Wednesday, according to the Post.

"At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures," McGrath said. "To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely."

Jordana Grolnick, another actress, made a similar accusation against Bush on Wednesday. Grolnick told Deadspin that she dismissed warnings from other actors that Bush had a reputation for groping women during pictures.

"I guess I was thinking: He's in a wheelchair. What harm could he do?" she said.

She added, however, that Bush came backstage during intermission for a photo op with the cast of a Maine production of "Hunchback of Notre Dame" in August 2016.

"We all circled around him and Barbara for a photo, and I was right next to him," she said. "He reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, 'Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?' As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, 'David Cop-a-Feel!'"

"Now that the #metoo movement has brought this all to light, I think I should have been a little more alarmed to be touched so inappropriately by a man who was once the leader of the free world," she continued. "He knows the power he has, and the reverence he deserves, even while sitting perhaps somewhat senile in a wheelchair. What I've come to realize is that if we tolerate these small comments and grazes from men on the street or former presidents, they might assume that it's ok with us, and they may take it as permission to do who-knows-what else."

Not a fan of cats at all - but this is a bit much! 370 suspected kills

Scooter

For the past two years, a serial killer has been attacking pet cats in Britain, leaving behind him a trail of fear and mistrust.

This story contains details some readers may find distressing

Exactly what happened to Chantelle's black-and-white cat, Scooter, is a mystery.

The last time she saw her, they were in her kitchen on a warm, still night this summer. Scooter was sitting on a stool watching as Chantelle marched around the house to increase her step count before bed. The next morning, she had disappeared.

As Chantelle searched the street outside, a neighbour came over to say he had found Scooter at 1am. She had been lying dead on the pavement outside his house. He thought she could have been hit by a car, even though there was never much traffic in their residential street.




He told Chantelle he had gone inside to find a blanket to cover the body. When he returned it had disappeared. He assumed foxes had taken it.

But later that day another neighbour approached Chantelle to tell her she had also found Scooter.




I've never been jittery in my entire life, and now he's messed up the tranquillity we had
Chantelle

This time the dead cat had been seen at 5.30am on the neighbour's front lawn. Scooter had been laid out as if she was stretching, except her tail had been removed with a clean cut and she had been sliced open from head to abdomen. Her entrails had been pulled out and laid beside her on the grass.

The second neighbour had called the local council to take the body away, so Chantelle didn't see it with her own eyes. But she was was sure of one thing - Scooter's death was not an accident.

Chantelle had read stories about a cat killer operating around the M25, a motorway that forms an outer ring road around London. She didn't think her own cats would be in danger in her home in St Leonards-on-Sea, 70 miles away on Britain's south coast.

"I didn't think to lock my cats up at night, but if I had, Scooter would still be alive," she says.

She and her husband are now thinking about moving to a new house where they can secure the garden to prevent their other cat getting out.

"I've had a couple of miscarriages and that was easier to deal with than this because that was meant to be," says Chantelle.

"I've never been jittery in my entire life, and now he's messed up the tranquillity we had."

The person Chantelle thinks is responsible for Scooter's death is a prolific cat killer who has been operating in Britain since 2015.

During that time he - and police are sure the killer is a man - has butchered more than 370 animals, mostly pet cats, but also foxes, rabbits and possibly a wild, baby owl.

The first reported victims were clustered around Croydon in South London - so the press named him the Croydon Cat Killer.

But killings were later reported all around London, prompting a second nickname, the M25 Cat Killer.

In fact, his hunting ground has spread even further than this - to the Isle of Wight, Kent, Birmingham, Wirral and Sheffield.


map of cat killings across UK
In early June, a small group of people gathered in a Quaker meeting hall in Croydon by the side of a busy roundabout.

As the traffic hummed and beeped outside, the group listened to a harpist and lit candles on a table adorned with a large photograph of a tabby cat with a white tummy.

They were there to commemorate the animal victims - joining together to sing the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful and to recite poems about grief.


Altar to victims of the cat killer
"Love will solve this," was the reassurance given by the organiser, a 46-year-old local animal activist with the striking name, Boudicca Rising.

Over the past two years, Rising and her partner, 52-year-old Tony Jenkins, have been the central characters in the hunt to catch the cat killer - real-life pet detectives.

Originally from South Africa, Rising is a self-described "mad cat lady" who has been involved in animal rescue since arriving in Britain in 1994.




We realised we were probably dealing with a serial killer
Boudicca Rising, Snarl

When she and fellow animal-lover, Tony, became a couple five years ago, they set up their own animal protection charity named after their neighbourhood - the South Norwood Animal Rescue and Liberty, or Snarl.

In 2015, as reports filtered in of pet and fox deaths in South London, Boudicca and Tony first wondered whether a gang was responsible.

"The previous work I've done has been around animal crush videos, which is sexually motivated animal torture," says Boudicca, referring to the market on the dark web for graphic videos of live animals being crushed to death.

"But as time went on we realised we were probably dealing with a serial killer," she says.


Boudicca Rising

Boudicca Rising has been investigating the cat killings for several years

Boudicca and Tony are now officially collaborating with the Metropolitan Police in Croydon who have set up a special task force named Operation Takahe (the operation name was generated randomly and happens to be the name of a near-extinct, flightless bird in New Zealand).

It was Snarl who persuaded the police to get involved, providing details of killings and speaking out at a 2015 Croydon community meeting attended by the then head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan Howe.

"I understand some people may scoff at this," says the man running the operation, Det Sgt Andy Collin.

"But the loss that owners are feeling is very real."

Snarl now operates a triage service for the police.

They urge anyone who has found a body to call them first as they have a checklist to establish which deaths were caused by the killer, and which were caused by road accidents or other acts of cruelty.

When a victim is found, they help secure the crime scene, check the animal's microchip and scour the ground for evidence.




It's quite possible other people have got on the bandwagon - copycats if you like
Det Sgt Andy Collin, Operation Takahe

In some cases, like that of Chantelle's cat Scooter, they arrive too late and the bodies have already been removed by the council. But when they can retrieve remains, Snarl has helped pay for post-mortems to confirm the cats were killed by the same person.

"It's important for us to deal with the cases that are clearly linked," says Andy Collin.

"It's quite possible other people have got on the bandwagon - copycats if you like."

The killer has struck in residential areas in secluded paths and alleyways behind terraced houses

Snarl's work has helped to build up a picture of the killer's methods.

He strikes mainly at night in residential areas, often luring his victims with pet food, crab sticks or raw chicken. He kills them quickly with some sort of blunt force then waits at least half an hour for their blood to coagulate before mutilating their bodies.

He has cut off heads, paws and tails as well as sliced victims open. Often no blood trail is left, indicating that the victim is cut up in a different location. He then tends to display the bodies close to where he's hunted them down, sometimes in public spaces such as playgrounds. He's also been known to attack twice in the same area.

"I think there's an element of disbelief," says Boudicca of the reaction to the macabre brutality of the attacks.

"There are people out there who would rather believe anything else is happening rather than this."

This disbelief has manifested itself in angry posts on Snarl's Facebook page. Arguments have erupted between those who accuse Snarl of exaggerating the problem, saying the cats have been killed by foxes or in accidents, and those who are angry and want revenge against the killer.

"We have trolls on our page, sniping," says Boudicca, who has been accused by some of these hostile visitors of misappropriating funds and lying about the scale of the problem.

"But I think it's helpful to show the anger - I don't want communities withholding it as that won't end well."

But as well as attracting critics, Snarl has also gathered supporters especially around London, where volunteers distribute leaflets. Some of these attended the memorial service in June.

"So many people still don't know there's a cat killer," says Julie, who is a regular leafleter.

Julie does not want to give her full name, or even say where she lives, as she's afraid she may become a target herself. And she says the unease and distrust in the community is so great that some believe the killer could be hiding in plain sight among them.

"We haven't ruled that out," she says.

"We hope not, but we haven't ruled it out."


leaflets
Serial killers often begin their careers by harming animals.

Andy Collin, the police detective, fears it is only a matter of time before the UK cat killer turns his attention to humans.

A profile drawn up by the National Crime Agency suggests that the killer's problem with cats stems from a deeper problem with women, or with one woman in particular.

"Cats are targeted because they are associated with the feminine - the killer can't deal with a woman or women who are troubling him," says Collin.

"The concern we have is that if it isn't a particular person - who will be at some risk eventually - then at some stage he'll escalate or feel brave enough to move on to vulnerable women and girls, either elderly or very young women."

Collin says that, if caught, the killer will probably be charged with criminal damage, though he's hoping to prosecute for other, more serious offences.

"If an animal is despatched humanely then you haven't necessarily got a cruelty offence," says Collin. The charge of outraging public decency could cover the psychological harm inflicted.

By his own admission, the detective is "massively frustrated" by his inability to catch the killer.

The police have been investigating the animal killings since 2016

In August this year, his team released details of a man described as a "person of interest" after witnesses chased a man who was seen close to the site of an attack in Caterham, south of London. There was also a second possible sighting in nearby Orpington.

He was described as a man in his 40s, with short brown hair, dressed in dark clothing with possible acne scarring to his face, wearing a headlamp or carrying a torch.

"It's promising, but it's not something I would put a lot of money on," says Collin.

The fact that the majority of attacks have taken place in quiet resident areas hasn't helped him.

"We're always told we live in the most covered CCTV society in the world," says Collin.

"But when you go into suburban streets, while there might be cameras, people concentrate them on their own properties."

Nor have there been leads from forensic evidence.

It's almost impossible to gather DNA from cat fur, and even if his team managed to collect some, Collin says it wouldn't necessarily be from the killer.

He suspects the killer must wear gloves as no skin has been found under the claws of the victims. But even this detail isn't much help.

"If you're out at night, the chances are you'll have on a pair of gloves," he says.

"It's not likely you're walking around with a great big banner above your head."

One area where the police have made progress is in drawing up a geographical profile of the crimes.

Addiscombe - on the outskirts of Croydon - has been identified as an anchor point from where the offences started. The suburb, like many in which the killer has struck, has a run of secluded paths and alleyways behind its terraced houses, making it easy for someone to enter and leave gardens unnoticed and slip away into the night.

The trail leads to Addiscombe, south of London

"There is something about Addiscombe that links quite strongly to our person," says Collin.

"It could be a family house from the person's youth, a gran's house, or somewhere they're living now. Somewhere they've stayed in and feel comfy in, or somewhere they've gone to school."

In September, Britain's first forensic laboratory dedicated to prosecuting crimes against animals announced it would re-examine the bodies of dozens of cats believed to be victims of the killer.

The laboratory, based at the University of Surrey, is described as a CSI for animals.

"We're looking at various different elements of this case at the forensic level - work that hasn't been done before," says university spokesman Dave Ferguson.

The news is welcomed by Naomi, who has allowed the body of her cat Ivy to be stored in a freezer for 15 months in the hope that a re-examination might help bring justice.


Ivy

Ivy

Naomi remembers the morning that Ivy failed to come in to her home in Northamptonshire when she was called for food.

She immediately searched her neighbourhood on foot, before jumping in her car to conduct a wider sweep.

Within minutes, she had found Ivy's decapitated body discarded by the side of a busy road.

"I was very emotional. I couldn't stop crying," she says. Although she searched for Ivy's head, she wasn't able to find it.

Naomi had to take three weeks off work with depression and anxiety. She says she still struggles with nightmares and interrupted sleep.

She now locks in her other cats at night and comes home early from evenings out to make sure they're safe.

"A cat being hit by a car you can accept as an accident," she says.

"This is completely different. It's caused so much pain, and a feeling of anger."

Boudicca Rising says she hopes that stories like Naomi's and Chantelle's will help people understand the emotional toll that the killer has inflicted, and perhaps prompt more witnesses to come forward.

"Our problem is that people still think of him as just the Croydon cat killer, even though he's been more widespread for some time," she says.

"I hope people realise they need to keep their cats indoors, keep a look out for strange behaviour and report it to the police.

"Most of all I hope that somebody will recognise his characteristics and the places he's killed - and turn him in."

QuoteHowever in a statement on behalf of Phoenix Children's Health (formerly known as the Children's Hospital Group), the group said: "The name for the new children's hospital, Phoenix Children's Hospital, was selected following an extensive and inclusive process that included staff of the three children's hospitals, children and families.

"The Phoenix is a symbol of regeneration, hope and renewal and is an appropriate name for a hospital that will be at the centre of the ongoing transformation of children's health services in Ireland," added the hospital group.

They have to be f**king joking. What's next? The Harry potter dialysis unit?

When love breaks down

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/tv-fitness-expert-who-punched-girlfriend-in-gym-objects-to-her-victim-impact-statement-36298186.html

However, defence solicitor Michael Hanahoe said he had seen it and did not think the judge should read it. He said its contents were "absolutely irrevelant" and indicated matters that were "utterly prejudicial and untrue."

Judge Smyth looked at the statement and said it seemed to refer to other issues.

He said there had to be adherence to the guidelines of the victims' directive and he did not think the statement fully complied with it.

"What the court is concerned with is what is before the court and nothing else," Judge Smyth said. "The victim impact statement can't be used to bring in other matters."

A State solicitor accepted Ms Murphy "may have strayed slightly" in her statement.

During last month's hearing, Ms Murphy said she went to Usanga's gym with her two children aged six months and 18 months in the car, to talk to him about him "cheating on me again."

Ms Murphy asked Usanga if she could use his phone and after a conversation, she told him "you cheated on me again" and threw it in his direction, she said.

"He punched me in the face," she told the court, saying his fist hit her left eye.

In cross examination, it was put to her that she "broke into (Usanga's) media Facebook" and set out to his 10,000 followers that he had assaulted her.

"I shared a video," Ms Murphy said. "It was my way of getting out of an abusive relationship."

Outside the gym, Usanga said, "she threw the phone at my head. She was raging, I felt my life was in danger. I used my hand to push her away. It was to protect myself."

He said he pushed her with an open hand and she left.

After she went on his Facebook account, he lost his job. Usanga had no previous convictions.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/man-accidentally-shoots-himself-wife-church-tennessee-discussing-church-shootings-tellico-plains-a8060901.html?

A man accidentally shot himself and his wife while discussing church shootings at a church in Tennessee, police have said.

Tellico Plains police say a man in his 80s accidentally discharged his gun during a Thanksgiving luncheon at the First United Methodist Church. As they cleaned up from the luncheon, the group began discussing church shootings, such as the recent shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

That's when the man removed his handgun and began showing it to some of the men at the church.

"I carry my handgun everywhere," he said, according to police.

Before showing it to the men, he removed the magazine and cleaned the chamber. He then put the magazine back in and apparently loaded another round.

Later, however, someone who had missed the demonstration asked to see the gun. The man obliged, pulling out his gun and saying: "With this loaded indicator, I can tell that it's not loaded."

He then accidentally pulled the trigger, sending a bullet flying through his palm and into the left side of his wife's abdomen.

I was rightly on and anyway I told him to stop, he feckin kept going and I walked out.
I am meeting him in an hour to talk to him about it, he has no idea this conversation is going to take place but that was my latest what the fcuk moment.

I am supposed to sack him on the spot, this girl reports to him and everybody seen me there at the time and they even have video of it on their cellphones. If I say nothing and it gets out I will be sacked as well, the hoor has put in me in a bad spot. >:(

If he has so much as an inkling, I bet his stomach is in knots!
Jesus I wouldnt envy either of you, but you certainly dont let yourself get the sack for someone elses mistakes.

I have the aul Irish mentally drilled into me and that is  to say nothing.

I dont know if I can take a chance and say nothing but if I dont he loses his livelyhood. I also have an obligation to my family and I am completely torn. Feck his stomach being in knots, mine are as well and I never get nervous about anything except Armagh matches.  :-[



You need to get her involved as well and see what she thought of the whole situation. Document everything and report to your superior as he/she needs to be involved also. You need to follow your company guideline on sexual harassment if they have one if they don't they need one. If you do not handle it correctly you will lose all respect from the other other employees. Tough situation.

The Telegraph has been campaigning for a new Britannia to help win deals for Britain after the UK leaves the European Union for months.

Plans for a new £100million Britannia have already received the backing of two Cabinet ministers, Liam Fox and Boris Johnson who has insisted he would "love a trade yacht" to help win deals for Britain after Brexit.

Absolutely.
Unbelievable comments. What if Hazard hadn't equalised or if Spurs had scored another one?  His "game plan" could have cost Leicester the title.

You can't even walk down the street without getting tangled up dog leashes every 10 yards.

Not sure where to put this really.  Nothing directly to do with Antrim GAA

http://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2017/12/13/news/prosecutors-fail-in-bid-to-stop-press-identifying-former-gaa-star-kevin-mcgourty-1209985/

Prosecutors failed today in a bid to stop the press identifying a former GAA star charged with disclosing sexual photographs of an ex-girlfriend.

A judge at Belfast Magistrates' Court dismissed the application for reporting restrictions in the case against Kevin McGourty.  McGourty, who represented Antrim during his Gaelic football career, had opposed the attempt to secure an anonymity order.  The 35-year-old, of Orchardville Avenue in Belfast, is accused of disclosing a private sexual photograph or film of the woman without consent, and with the intention of causing her distress.  He is further charged with harassing her and making threats to kill.

The alleged offences were committed on dates between April and May this year. McGourty denies all of the charges and is set to contest the case at a hearing next month.  With the alleged offences not covered by automatic reporting restrictions, the Public Prosecution Service sought a press ban.  A PPS lawyer argued that naming McGourty could lead to the complainant being identified.  It was contended that this may cause fear and distress, damaging the quality of her evidence. But McGourty's barrister, Martin Morgan, resisted the application.  Mr Morgan argued that the prosecution had failed to produce the clear evidential narrative required.  Dismissing the application, District Judge Fiona Bagnall held that the test for imposing reporting restrictions had not been met.

According to the British government 30 year papers they wanted to put some neon advertising on the Brit watchtowers in South Armagh to brighten them up!!

A prominent hilltop observation tower overlooking the main road from Belfast to Dublin could have been decked out under suggestions to spruce up the forbidding British Army structure during the conflict. Unsightly shields and barbed wire surrounded it to protect against rocket attacks.

A civil servant at the Northern Ireland Office wrote a note on the issue relaying the views of Peter Bottomley, who was the private secretary of Peter Brooke, the Northern Ireland secretary at the time.

It said: "He was sure that an imaginative way could be found to smarten up and decorate security structures in a way that would not be out of keeping with their function but would at the same time produce a pleasingly aesthetic effect on travellers.

I saw this H&M row in the press today. I would be interested to get peoples views on whether this is racist?

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/hm-sparks-outrage-coolest-monkey-14126158

My view is that it is the PC brigade going out of their way to get offended. I have kids, numerous nephews and nieces and have both called them monkeys and bought and received tshirts with "Little monkey" etc  on them. I know this row has blown up because it was a young black (is that PC??) lad  in the advert and there probably would have been no reaction if it was a white kid. No one in their right minds can honestly think this was a racist action by H&M. However, i genuinely believe this faux outrage by PC crusaders only serves to deepen divisions and create disputes.  I know I would never have even thought of the shirt  in that context until I read about the social media reaction.

Little monkey is a term of endearment for kids, and is related to their penchant for mischief or messing around. I call my daughter a little monkey all the time. I also call her a goose for similar reasons. It's related to the behaviour, not the appearance.

That said it was daft to have a little black lad wearing it, as the racist connotations are too obvious.

No doubt H&M had some kind of equal opportunities policy so that a proportion of hoodies would feature people of different races and this one happened to feature a black kid. Strange that someone didn't call stop though.

I suspect that is because you have never been called a monkey or told to go back to the jungle because of your race ::)

No one said it was intentionally racist by H&M but it's definitely completely inappropriate and poor taste.

Matt Damon has apologised for the widely criticised comments he made in December about the wave of sexual abuse allegations in Hollywood, telling US TV show Today: "I really wish I'd listened a lot more before I weighed in on this."

He said last year: "I do believe that there's a spectrum of behaviour and we're going to have to figure, you know, there's a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation.

It was headline news around the world yesterday that some guy in Australia patted a woman on the butt - so if anything, there seems to be even more mass hysteria around that than rape.

Err, it is being covered as part of a larger story of systematic sexual assault by men is to be expected. Would you be ok if some random fúcker grabbed your arse if you were a woman? The "what the fúck?" here is someone defending Damon for trying to draw equivalence with a far more grisly act as if only the worst behaviour should be covered. That's a poor mindset to have in the first place, let alone one to espouse publically. Damon's best buddies in Hollywood - the Afflecks - have been deeply embroiled in these allegations so the perception he has coming out minimising anything is not good to say the least.

Guess what lads, if you're not a creep you're going to be just fine. There's nothing marginalised about men in society and some here and elsewhere would do well to remember that basic fact of life before trying to pour scorn on something that in general is very positive for women and men.

You said no-one was saying patting someone on the butt was the same as rape, I'm pointing out that there was a far greater media reaction to someone being patted on the butt yesterday than there was to the (doubtless many) rapes that took place.

Obviously all sexual assault is wrong, the rest of what you've written is drivel.

I'd suggest you look at other media outlets for your news. You must have missed the story about the horrific gang rape and murder of a 15 year old Indian girl.

That was last week - and i had to google to find it. I saw the story I've referred to everywhere on Tuesday. I don't look for news beyond the major outlets. My email provider and a few other sites I use have news sections which are forced onto me, so they have an element of control over what I (and most of the online population) see.

They clearly didn't deem that rape and murder you refer to as newsworthy, but they did a minor sexual assault. That is my point.

How is that pulled out of my arse? Did it not get massive media coverage on that day, moreso than any rape that took place?

The rest of your post was drivel because you just went on a morally outraged spiel in an attempt to impress an imaginary audience with your strong sense of justice. That's exactly the issue with these topics, there's always someone so needy for approval they just join in with the lynch mob and shout down other views using arguments they are regurgitating.

Catherine Deneuve was castigated for having her opinion, and was forced to apologise, no doubt Brigitte Bardot will similarly be. Does anyone think that they were condoning rape or sexual assault? Is it good to shut down anyone who doesn't agree with you? They're right, it definitely is going too far. The Aziz Ansari claim was absolutely ludicrous. Worldwide coverage of a girl having her ass patted similarly so. No doubt that makes me a rape/sexual assault apologist  ::), but I'd rather say (elements of) what i think rather than place myself in an echo chamber.

This stuff happens everywhere. And until a few months ago a lot of it was being shoved under the rug in the nonchalant manner Damon was attempting to.

Ask your girlfriends or wives what they and their friends put up with on a daily basis and you might start to have some empathy for the issue.

That white moose cafe lad is a w**ker too though. I had an acquaintance a few years ago who visited his place, she was a nice enough person, opinionated but generally harmless and wouldn't do anyone any great harm. She was an obese, mid-30's woman and she gave the cafe a poor review on FB, trip adviser and the likes and he proceeded to tear her to shreds very publicly about her gluttonous behavior. More or less he called her a fat b1tch. It was a dirty enough act and championed quite vocally by a crowd of wankers who thought it was funny. I wouldn't have passed remarks on it only for the fact I knew her.

Brianne Randall-Gay was 17 when she was treated for scoliosis by Nassar, who massaged her breasts and attempted to put his fingers in her vagina. Randall-Gay's mother subsequently complained to Meridian Township police department. However, Nassar said the treatment was part of "a medical technique known as Sacrotuberous Ligament Release" and gave police a PowerPoint presentation on the subject.

Police decided not to send the case to prosectors as they accepted Nassar's explanation. It would be more than a decade until Nassar was brought to justice, during which time he abused dozens of female athletes under the guise of medical treatment.

"We missed it," Meridian Township's manager, Frank Walsh, said on Wednesday. "We're not going to hide it. We were deceived."

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/amanda-knox-sings-proira-song-in-irish-tv-36566961.html


Amanda Knox, the American woman convicted and later cleared of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in 2007, left a top RTE presenter stunned by singing a chorus from a song celebrating the IRA during the War of Independence.



The 30-year-old appeared on Ray D'Arcy's popular Thursday night chat show to speak about her time in prison, the final twists of her fight to freedom, and her life before and after the highly publicised trial.

In a bizarre segment of the interview, Knox sang a line from Come Out Ye Black And Tans.

She explained that an Irish supporter had sent her a CD of the 50 most popular Irish rebel songs while she was in prison.

"My world collapsed," Knox said.

"I didn't realise that the world was so unfair.

"That was not something that I grew up with.

"That was something that a lot of Irish supporters of mine felt.

"I got letters from lots of Irish people who really understood, like, of course, authority taking advantage of a vulnerable person and spinning it in a bad way, of course, we know that.

"They sent me Irish rebel songs and everything... they sent me this CD of the 50 most popular ones.

"You know, there's like, Come out you Black and Tans and fight me like a man'," she said, giggling.

"That's the oddest thing I've ever witnessed," chat show host D'Arcy said after Knox's impromptu performance. The one-time murder accused said that she didn't really know what the songs were about.

"It was great, and I had no idea what they were talking about, like "slandering Parnell" and I didn't know what any of that meant.

"I just understood the fighting spirit of it, and I appreciated that."

Meredith Kercher was 21 when she was murdered in Perugia, an Italian provincial town, in 2007.

She was found dead in a pool of blood in her bedroom.

Three people were eventually charged with her murder: Knox, Rafaello Sollecito, Knox's boyfriend, and local man Rudy Guede.

Knox and Sollecito were found guilty in 2009, but freed on appeal two years later.

They were convicted again of the murder in 2014, but ultimately the pair were finally acquitted of the murder by the Italian Supreme Court in 2015.

Guede was convicted under a different 'fast-track' legal route, and was given a 16-year sentence.

Last month Knox told a US audience at Roanoke College, Virginia, that she had been cast as a "she-devil".

"I believed that didn't matter because only truth mattered," she said.

"The nonsense spattered about me didn't matter.

"I thought it just showed that it was a weak case.

"I still believed there was a light at the end of the tunnel because the truth mattered," local paper the Roanoke Times reported.

Since he doesn't exist in law, presumably he couldn't be prosecuted if, for instance, he robbed a bank?

Changelings and Bridget Cleary

QuoteBridget Cleary (Irish: Bríd Ní Chléirigh) was an Irish woman killed by her husband in 1895. Her death is notable for several peculiarities: the stated motive for the crime was her husband's belief that she had been abducted by fairies with a changeling left in her place; he claimed to have slain only the changeling. The gruesome nature of the case — she was either immolated while still alive or set on fire immediately following her death — prompted extensive press coverage. The trial was closely followed by newspapers in both Ireland and Britain. As one reviewer commented, nobody, with the possible exception of the presiding judge, thought it was an ordinary murder case.

She was released on bail and then re-arrested the same day and unsurprisingly then refused bail second time around. Reports on social media that after being released on bail she smashed all the windows in the local McDonald's. She sounds like a real charmer.

There still are benefits for certain investors. I read somewhere up to 30% of the global government bond market is trading on a negative yield. Is pretty counter-intuitive though

The video of that young girl being attacked in Bangor. Horrible.

f**king rotten!! Women should be done for attempted murder.. hopefully the mob get them and Alison Morris has a campaign on it through the Irish news

so should the 'men' who were encouraging it

Anyone involved, but let's not get clouded here, both girls tried to kill her

and girl charged with GBH and got bail. Joke of a justice system

They were all refused bail I thought

Read they got bail and then went down to the local McDonalds and were smashing the windows

Edit...fat fingers - cant type as quick as Tony

Ahh ok must have missed that bit in the bail applications today

Irish bond yields up to duration 4 years are negative
You buy a bond and you get less back. You could just burn the money

https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/ireland-government-bonds

There still are benefits for certain investors. I read somewhere up to 30% of the global government bond market is trading on a negative yield. Is pretty counter-intuitive though
You are still losing money.

NOt necessarily, you could be potentially betting on a forex movement to more than address the negative yield putting you in profit. Or alternatively you could be closing out a larger loss elsewhere e.g you have to put the money somewhere and you think equities will drop by 10% over the same period, hence a 1% loss on a government backed bond is the best option.

Of course they are, but they have no right to suggest staff at the hospital intend to murder their son or invite people to come down to the hospital and disrupt it.

If you invest 100 and get 99 back you are losing money. It doesn't matter what happens in equities.

100. Apparently people on the "Alfie's Army" Facebook page were asking people to set off fire alarms in the hospital.  >:( Evacuating a hospital whilst people are in theatre or critical care seems like a sensible thing to do!

If you invest 100 and get 99 back you are losing money. It doesn't matter what happens in equities.

The first example I gave is a scenario where you could be up money despite a negative yield. Lets say you are a € investor and you buy $100 of bonds and the forex rate when you bought meant it cost you €100. Bond matures with a negative yield and you get back $99. , However  the forex curve has moved so your $99 is now worth €105 therefore you have made money.

The second one was an example of why investors purchase these bonds irrespective of whether they expect to make a loss, i.e. they  get back less than they put in but the alternative was a larger loss. In my mind you up money on where you would have been had you not bought the negative yield bond albeit down on your original position.

The net present value of a payment of 100 in 4 years priced off Irish bonds is greater than 100.
That is insane. A biRd in the bush is worth more than in the hand.

How is it not attempted murder? Repeated pounding of the head against concrete? That happened at least twice. A couple of hundred punches to the head? Holding her head under the water in a fountain when she tried to escape? Sorry, but that girl would be dead by now if she didn't get away when she did.

Attempted murder is a very difficult crime to convict someone of. It is one is specific intent ie it has to be proven that their absolute intent was to murder the girl. It's quite clear that they wanted to hurt this girl, it's not clear they wanted to kill her therefore it is not attempted murder. There is also
A fair chance that it will be downgraded to actual bodily harm if they injuries are not serious. I don't know what the injuries are but if they are superficial cuts and bruises it ultimately will be ABH.

Essentially in the eyes of the law, the same as a bit of a row outside a chip shop in any town on any sat night then. Your mostly likely right, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a more serious scenario here. You would like to think....and hope that they will get the maximum tariff on whatever it is, they are ultimately charged with.

Most countries have a media sector that slobber over foreign or local royalty. France got rid of the monarchy years ago  but the magazines plough on.

It's hardly just an Irish phenomenon, it's pretty much a worldwide one. The 'merkins are probably even more obsessed.

Shock people like the royal family! I went to a friends for a barbeque, and it was the the wedding of Wiliam and Kate! the feckers had the place decked out in Union jack flegs!! So I dandered round to the house and got my own royal top on, Royal county Meath that is! good colours to give a balanced look about the place!

It was just women inteested in who was at it what the dress looked like and blah blah blah, the men just drank their beers and talked football rugby and the usual shite..

I think there are far less royalist about now than ever before, but i wouldnt wish being part of the Royal family on anyone.. I do like the history though of Royals, not just the brits but the other nations

Dont be naive lads. It's a media frenzy, an orchestrated birth to have the wee lad born in St George's Day to have the country rallying behind the flag. Take the minions minds off the millions and millions that May is spending on bombing Syria or the false flag Novichok stuff.
Very Daily Mail. And DM readers haven't had payrises in years.

The parents are within their rights to fight tooth and nail for their child but at some point some sense needs to kick in. I take it the taxpayer is bankrolling all of this.

Of course they are, but they have no right to suggest staff at the hospital intend to murder their son or invite people to come down to the hospital and disrupt it.
100. Apparently people on the "Alfie's Army" Facebook page were asking people to set off fire alarms in the hospital.  >:( Evacuating a hospital whilst people are in theatre or critical care seems like a sensible thing to do!

So the child has been taken of the ventilator and has been breathing unassisted for over 11 hours.

This really is WTF.

Scary shit

This is a joke. What the hell business is it of 'Alfie's Army' what happens???  Have these people nothing better to be at then getting involved in someone else's business?  I respect the right of the parents to do what they can to get the best for their child but sometimes you need to remove yourself from the emotions of it all. It is not easy and with young kids of my own I'm not sure how I would react but these protesters need to get to fvck away from this and leave an already vulnerable and distressed family to make the best decision for their own lives.

I would like to think that if my responsibilities and rights were being taken away as a parent to protect the life of my child that people would show up to support me.
They want Alfie to live. To try whatever they can for him to live. He just received Italian citizenship and there is a hospital there willing to take him and give him a fighting chance. I don't know a parent who wouldn't want to try. Alfie's parents want to try. The UK authorities don't want to keep trying and are taking this away from his parents....

I find it very sad that now a child with medical problems' life isn't worth much to some on here...

how are the parents going against the rights of the child? Does the child not have a right to life? Should the childs oxygen be removed, water be removed? Should he be given sedation to starve and die?
Doctors associations up and down the UK and the rest of the world are standing with the parents.

What do you know thats different from the rest of us? Why should the child die? Would you pull the plug?
If we can't protect the vulnerable then who are we as a society?

The decision by the medical professionals hasn't been taken lightly, and yes as a parent you would do anything for your child. For anyone who has been faced with the decision to turn off life support it is very difficult but in my own experience we made our decision based on the medical evidence and what was best for our family member. Had he survived he may have been able to communicate by fluttering his eyelids, and for me that is not living.

but MR2 if you agree its a private decision then why are you not siding with the parents- their decision is for alfie to live, to fight, to try....the wee lad was breathing unassisted for 13 hours in the last 24.
I get it you don't like the whole circus that has sprung up and I agree with you there but if you want your child to live and he has a chance and has proven he is a fighter would you not support the parents?

I see the issue here, but there may not be an unlimited number of life support machines, keeping one in use may mean that some other kid does not get a chance.

Hopefully I won't be in that position and neither have you, I don't really know what chances there are for this child to have quality of life, if you believe (not this case others, from people I know who had similar siblings) that living of various life supporting machines is a benefit then you are right in what you think, me I wouldn't know, I couldn't do it unless ive the full facts, you don't but well you voiced it as have the protesters.. that's my problem with this, not what that family are going through

Watched the video last night - don't know how this one goes down as GBH with intent. More like attempted murder to be honest.

I have just seen the video and it's Definitely not attempted murder. Depending on the injuries it may not even be a GBH although I'd expect at least an attempted GBH. Vile and reprehensible

How is it not attempted murder? Repeated pounding of the head against concrete? That happened at least twice. A couple of hundred punches to the head? Holding her head under the water in a fountain when she tried to escape? Sorry, but that girl would be dead by now if she didn't get away when she did.

Attempted murder is a very difficult crime to convict someone of. It is one is specific intent ie it has to be proven that their absolute intent was to murder the girl. It's quite clear that they wanted to hurt this girl, it's not clear they wanted to kill her therefore it is not attempted murder. There is also
A fair chance that it will be downgraded to actual bodily harm if they injuries are not serious. I don't know what the injuries are but if they are superficial cuts and bruises it ultimately will be ABH.

Essentially in the eyes of the law, the same as a bit of a row outside a chip shop in any town on any sat night then. Your mostly likely right, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a more serious scenario here. You would like to think....and hope that they will get the maximum tariff on whatever it is, they are ultimately charged with.

I see a few stories circulating on facebook that the girl that took the beating in Bangor was part of the gang that gave her the beating.
She's also been accused of dishing out a few beatings herself and allegedly was wearing an ankle tag on that video.

Doesn't excuse what happened, but sometimes things aren't as straight forward as they seem

A fair chance that it will be downgraded to actual bodily harm if they injuries are not serious. I don't know what the injuries are but if they are superficial cuts and bruises it ultimately will be ABH.

Essentially in the eyes of the law, the same as a bit of a row outside a chip shop in any town on any sat night then. Your mostly likely right, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a more serious scenario here. You would like to think....and hope that they will get the maximum tariff on whatever it is, they are ultimately charged with.

I see a few stories circulating on facebook that the girl that took the beating in Bangor was part of the gang that gave her the beating.
She's also been accused of dishing out a few beatings herself and allegedly was wearing an ankle tag on that video.

Doesn't excuse what happened, but sometimes things aren't as straight forward as they seem

Her give a beating? she didnt look the type that could fight in that video! Yes I would say if she was hanging around with that type she'd be no angel! But that was a horrible beating

Watched the video last night - don't know how this one goes down as GBH with intent. More like attempted murder to be honest.

I have just seen the video and it's Definitely not attempted murder. Depending on the injuries it may not even be a GBH although I'd expect at least an attempted GBH. Vile and reprehensible

How is it not attempted murder? Repeated pounding of the head against concrete? That happened at least twice. A couple of hundred punches to the head? Holding her head under the water in a fountain when she tried to escape? Sorry, but that girl would be dead by now if she didn't get away when she did.

I find it very sad that you think your rights trump those of the child.

Tell me what you know about this Italian hospital - the treatment they propose to offer, how they plan to give Alfie a "fighting" chance etc Or are you just reacting to some rubbish you've seen online.
how are the parents going against the rights of the child? Does the child not have a right to life? Should the childs oxygen be removed, water be removed? Should he be given sedation to starve and die?
Doctors associations up and down the UK and the rest of the world are standing with the parents.

What do you know thats different from the rest of us? Why should the child die? Would you pull the plug?
If we can't protect the vulnerable then who are we as a society?

Well for one, I know that the hospital in Rome has said they would not be treating Alfie - that have said he is not healable and not curable. They would simply be keeping him alive. So that "fighting chance" you were banging on about was, unsurprisingly, complete bollox.

The child is dying. Let him die with dignity.

From the Telegraph link above

"Mr Evans said his son had confounded specialists' expectations by continuing to breathe.

In a live video posted on Facebook he said Alfie's life had been "sustained" for a third time.

"The warrior strikes again. He's back. He's just had a little dip, he went pale, lips started going a little bit but he's back. Just wanted everyone to know Alfie's stabilised," said Mr Evans.


Ms James is now represented by Jason Coppel QC, a different barrister from Alfie's father, and the appeal judges heard from her that the toddler was "struggling".

Mr Coppel said he had just spoken to Ms James by telephone and said: "The purpose of the phone call was to say that Alfie was struggling and needed immediate intervention to ensure that he survives at least for the purposes of today and she asked me if I would pass that on to the court "

The poor father is demented and has been given incorrect legal advice from the very outset and the judges have actually raised this as a very significant problem. The fathers vulnerability is being used by elements of Christian fundamental groups and advocates as a tool to force their own agenda. It is very interesting that the mother now has separate counsel and that would suggest to me that she does not agree fully with what is going on. Terribly terribly sad.

Incorrect. He would have gotten through the door and treated in many states. Getting to stay would be a different matter altogether. There is free healthcare under CHIP in many states - I think 9million kids are currently covered under it. It isn't ideal for people on unemployment but its coverage and they get immediate attention rather than ahving to wait 6 months to see a specialist.

I think the key point is though he doesn't have a chance. The hospital in italy cannot cure him from
What I have read and can simply just provide palliative care. The boy is in a semi vegatative state. He will die. He has significant complications. The courts have read all this and ruled accordingly. The 'christian' thing to do is let him die with dignity. The court made a very valid point, this is what is in the best interests of the child not the parents. The counsel for the father made it out that the child's best interests were not paramount but the parents were. Provide the poor lad with the care that he can have and let him see his time out in comfort

Please stop taking this nonsense. All the medical staff involved, including the ones at the hospitals in Italy and Germany are unanimous in their assessment of him. There is no chance, much less a fighting chance. His brain has been destroyed.

You are precisely the sort of religiously zealous parasite that has hijacked this case through spreading falsehoods and misinformation, hand in hand with either an inability or a refusal to educate yourself on the simple details of the matter.

"Why does an American need an AR-15?"

To make sure what's happening to #AlfieEvans never happens here. That's why.

Alfie Evans and his wee lad wouldn't have gotten through the door of a hospital over there unless he'd insurance in place...

Fact
Incorrect. He would have gotten through the door and treated in many states. Getting to stay would be a different matter altogether. There is free healthcare under CHIP in many states - I think 9million kids are currently covered under it. It isn't ideal for people on unemployment but its coverage and they get immediate attention rather than ahving to wait 6 months to see a specialist.

The whole thing is a mess. I couldn't care less about the dad's ramblings or if him and the mother aren't getting on. If that wee boy has a chance then let him fight

I think the key point is though he doesn't have a chance. The hospital in italy cannot cure him from
What I have read and can simply just provide palliative care. The boy is in a semi vegatative state. He will die. He has significant complications. The courts have read all this and ruled accordingly. The 'christian' thing to do is let him die with dignity. The court made a very valid point, this is what is in the best interests of the child not the parents. The counsel for the father made it out that the child's best interests were not paramount but the parents were. Provide the poor lad with the care that he can have and let him see his time out in comfort
I don't think being able to be "cured" is a requirement to keep someone alive?

Da of Alfie Evans has fairly changed his tune. He must have a new advisor.

What's he said now? I heard him on LBC earlier claiming the doctors in Alder Hey hate him and his family and that he believes that if they went to Italy, Alfie would be treated to the extent he'd wake up, despite the fact hospital in Rome has said that all they can provide is palliative care.

The father of seriously ill toddler Alfie Evans says he wants to "build his relationship" with the hospital he has been locked in a legal battle with.

Tom Evans, who has been fighting to take his 23-month-old son out of Alder Hey Children's Hospital, said he now wanted to be "left alone" to do so.

The 21-year-old praised staff where Alfie is being treated for their professionalism and "dignity".

He also thanked supporters Alfie's Army but asked them "to go home".

In a statement on behalf of himself and Alfie's mother, Kate James, Mr Evans said: "Our lives have been turned upside down by the intense focus on Alfie and his situation.

"Our little family along with Alder Hey has become the centre of attention for many people around the world and it has meant we have not been able to live our lives as we would like.

"We are very grateful and we appreciate all the support we have received from around the world, including from our Italian and Polish supporters, who have dedicated their time and support to our incredible fight.

"We would now ask you to return back to your everyday lives and allow myself, Kate and Alder Hey to form a relationship, build a bridge and walk across it."

He said: "Together we recognise the strains recent events have put upon us all and we now wish for privacy for everyone concerned.

"In Alfie's interests we will work with his treatment team on a plan that provides our boy with the dignity and comfort he needs."

He added there would be no more statements issued or interviews given.

He would have the same palliative care in Alder Hey as he would in Italy , presuming a seriously ill child was able to cope with the journey of over 1300 miles.

by definition it means to provide relief of symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient.  I don't believe removing fluids falls under this? Nor does removing oxygen? Upping the pain killers to induce sedation and death is called euthanasia?

Nobody knows, including you or I, if Alfie could come around. He wouldn't be the first person to come out of a vegetative state? I think give him a chance. Give him care.  If he was my child I'd be fighting for that.

He is virtually brain dead. Have you read any of the medical reports or the text of any of the judgements?  He will die. He will get the same care in Alder Hey as anywhere else.

The following is what Louis Theroux said about a man who came out of a coma after being similarly written off by his doctors, while Theroux was making a documentary about end of life care in LA.

'I was amazed,' reveals Theroux. 'The doctors had repeatedly told us – and told his family – that the best-case scenario for him would be that he remained in a vegetative state. Best case!

'So to have him wake up and walk again and converse normally was mind-blowing. "

I don't know what to make of the Alfie case but like Iceman said, it does happen. Doctors in that LA case thought the man was severely brain damaged but when he woke up he was mentally A1.

Presumably man spent a life with full cognitive ability and was in a come due to a brain injury. This wee lad was born with a serious degenerative condition and I believe has never been well. The comparison is not valid imo.

That case is irrelevant. Alfie has a degenerative brain condition that had reduced the majority of his brain to mere spinal fluid. He can't grow a new brain ffs.

It is this kind of nonsense being peddled by shite hawks that gives hope where none exists to the family and leads to morons in the internet babbling on about how the hospital plans to "murder" Alfie.

You're under the illusion you're debating something. You're not and you have no interest in doing so.

I'm talking about facts. You refuse to even read the details of the case. It's pretty clear which of thinks they're the big man.

I'm delighted you have your faith and or comforts you so much. It won't help Alfie Evans grow a new brain though.

The pope did get involved. Made a helicopter available to fly him to Italy.

"Moved by the prayers and immense solidarity shown little Alfie Evans, I renew my appeal that the suffering of his parents may be heard and that their desire to seek new forms of treatment may be granted."

Popes tweet in the matter.

New figures reveal that 65,161 drivers are on their third or subsequent learner permit. Of these, 36,814 are on their fifth permit or more.

The data shows that thousands of these are aged over 30. Many are on their fifth, sixth or seventh driving permits, according to figures sourced by online insurance brokerage Insuremycars.ie.

The numbers come from the Road Safety Authority following a Dáil question to Transport Minister Shane Ross from Independent TD Noel Grealish.

The new baby will be a prince or princess thanks to the Queen, who stepped in ahead of Prince George's birth to ensure all William's children would become HRHs with fitting titles.
The Queen issued a Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm in December 2012 when Kate was just a few months pregnant, declaring 'all the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of Royal Highness with the titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their Christian names or with such other titles of honour'.
A Letters Patent in 1917, issued by George V, limited titles within the royal family, meaning daughters born to William or Kate would not have been an HRH but Lady (forename) Mountbatten-Windsor instead and second or later-born sons would also have lacked the HRH title and become Lord (forename) Mountbatten-Windsors rather than princes.

You'll be telling Lourdes is next, Iceman
MR2 I volunteered for 5 summers in Lourdes. I've seen healing there and received healing of my own recently through prayer.  You can believe in it or not but I have faith and I've seen the results and experienced them.

Gallsman its very easy to discuss/debate with most people on here because they don't insult everyone that disagrees with them. You continue to insult anyone who crosses you and come across as the big man when you're anything but....

Ive been to Lourdes and its the most tacky place I've ever been to, I was actually very embarrassed by the place, wheeling people down in beds from teh local hospital the church is a double of the Disney castle and the streets have neon lights flashing, Holy water here!!

If you believe then thats fine, I can only go with what I saw when there and its a con (to me) if it gives comfort to people, then brilliant I've no problem with that, but don't talk about miracles please

Timeline might be slightly off there by a century or so MR2
Its modeled on Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, the one in CA at least

So. It's still a tacky place, any sorta religious theme to it is lost by the commercial interest, that's how I felt when I was there anyways..

the thing that got me was the Tiny Tim Crutch hanging on some telephone lines above the grotto, as if a person who struggled to walk was cured and threw his crutch up in the air !!

So... it came before Disneyland...???
Your dreaming stuff up to fit in with your perception.

Right numpty, when did I post that Disney castle was built before the church at Lourdes? Now if you can see that I'll happliy agree with you.. you read, the church is the double of the Disney castle

Your were comparing the two like they had copied the Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland to make it tacky to attract tourists.

Don't be opening this can of worms. We know the the Christian fundamentalist wing only had the best interests of poor wee Alfie on their mind. I wonder if Stroilov has his law degree from the same university as wee Seamie Bryson and Syferus?

God rest the wee boy and hopefully the parents will be left to grieve their baby the way they should have been....in privacy and with dignity instead of being used and duped at a time that they were vulnerable.

www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/circuit-court/man-defiled-boy-13-who-downloaded-dating-app-to-mother-s-phone-1.3475437%3fmode=amp

1. The court was told that the boy's mother left him at home with his siblings while she went out for a couple of hours with her partner.

2. She gave him her mobile phone in case he needed to contact them urgently.

Garda Malcolm Hooks told the court that

3. the boy downloaded the Gaydar app and

4. created a fake profile on which he claimed he was 19.

On another part of the profile, the boy wrote: "I'm not a porn star I'm a 13-year-old."

5. Within a short time, a meeting between the man and the boy had been arranged at the boy's home. The man showered and then drove to the boy's home, the court heard.

6. The man admitted in a later Garda interview that when the boy answered the door to him he thought he was aged "16 or 17".

Garda Hooks said that when the boy was interviewed by specialist interviewers he claimed that the man forced him to perform oral sex.

7.The boy's mother returned unexpectedly during the encounter and witnessed what was happening.

8. The accused man's sister gave evidence that up until this incident her family never knew he was homosexual.

Sacramento police arrested the East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker serial killer last week. He raped 50 women and killed at least 13 people between 1974-1986.

I'd just watched a documentary series about the crimes (Unmasking a Killer, very average and if you're interested I'd recommend the Criminology podcast season on the case as it's far better) and afterwards Googled the case to see that he'd been arrested the day before. Surreal. Probably the most infamous unidentifed American serial killer outside of the Zodiac.

Read a magazine article about this a few weeks ago. An amateur called Michele McNamara spent 5 years going through the evidence and wrote a book. Sadly she died before this breakthrough. I couldn't believe it when I read about the arrest last week. Coincidence or what?! Maybe her book prompted something.

The fact that the arrested was a serving cop at the time is 'disappointing'.

They did a big case relaunch and established a new taskforce for the 40th anniversary of the first EAR attacks in 2016, which is what led to this arrest. McNamara was married to the actor Patton Oswalt and he's been very active and public about the case himself. It's crazy to think DNA analysis has came so far in 30 years.

I do wonder what the legalities of genology sites sharing users' DNA with police without a warrant is, though. I'm sure we'll hear much more about that in the years ahead and maybe even as a defense tactic in this case. They had absolutely no evidence to point to him otherwise so it all hinged on the genology website. It benefited society in this case but just like accessing peoples' phones or social media data there's a massive privacy concern.

From what I have understood of the investigation, it was a reitred policeman who was linking the DNA profile to the geneology site.
It only linked him to a family member so the investigation ramped up from there and they obtained his DNA and matched it directly.

In another twist in this story police are investigating possible link between DeAngelo and a 'solved' 1978 murder of a young mother and her son. Thing is another man served 38 years for the murders before being released in November after detectives re-analysed DNA found at the scene with modern technology and found that it did not belong to the convicted.

Seemingly the free healthcare that saved your husbands life wasn't good enough and you now deserve a handout from the state for the inconvenience caused by dedicated people trying their best to help you. It is of course the states fault that your 50-year-old piss ravaged kidney did not survive a transplant op into your geriatric bean sprout of a husband.

Someone needs to tell these two that none of their organs could be successfully transplanted because they are two septic cunnts.

Gotta love the comment "How is this not age-restricted? It literally showed him shooting a guy in the head with blood."

The answer is in the title of the song FFS.

QuoteDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. —
A 95-year-old grandmother in Florida was arrested Saturday after police said she slapped her granddaughter in face with her slipper before calling 911 to get her out of the house.

According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Hattie Reynolds told police her granddaughter, Janeen Williams, 46, would not get out of bed, and that she was "tired of her staying in bed all day soaking up the air conditioning."

When officers arrived at the home, Williams told police she did not want to press charges, but because of "strict domestic violence laws" Reynolds was arrested.

According to a Florida statute, police officers have the ability to determine if an arrest is needed in a domestic violence instance once probable cause is established.

"If your wife reported that you threatened to hit her, you would be arrested because that is a domestic violence assault," police Chief Craig Capri told the News-Journal. "I just feel bad for her but the officers did their job as required by the law."

Reynolds was booked in the Volusia County Jail and released the next day on her own recognizance.

An ESB employee who slipped and fell on stairs as he was collecting post has been awarded €110,000 by the High Court.

The court found Terence Morgan, who had worked with the ESB for about 38 years, did not get specific training in the task of collecting post which he had performed over a number of years.

Ye see though this is annoying. He edidnt slip because he didn't have training to carry post. He slipped because the stairs were wet and he rumpled down them. The issue about carrying post is a basic manual handling issue and as he was carrying too much post he did not have a ha d to balance himself.

He took his family to lunch, left the table and rammed them with his car, killing two, police say

Father accused of crashing his car into a restaurant, killing his daughter
According to police, Roger Self intentionally rammed his car into a restaurant in Bessemer City, N.C., May 20, killing his daughter and daughter-in-law. (WBTV)

The Sunday lunch rush was underway at the Surf and Turf Lodge in Bessemer City, N.C., a restaurant about 30 miles west of Charlotte. Inside the rustic eatery with wooden plank walls, Roger Self, a former police officer turned private investigator, was eating appetizers with his family. Around noon, the 62-year-old got up from the table. The family thought he was going to the restroom, the Gaston Gazette later reported.

Moments later, waiter Brandon Wilson was heading to check on the table when a sound shattered the dining room.

"I saw a white Jeep just fly past my face," Wilson told the Gazette. "It was so unreal. I saw chairs and tables and cups just flying everywhere. It just sounded like a tornado."

With Self behind the wheel, the car blasted through the restaurant's log cabin facade, punching into the heart of the building and colliding with the table where Self's family was sitting, police said. Through curtains of dust, patrons and employees saw some people still pinned beneath the wreckage. "I helped paramedics move tables off this dude, and I moved debris out of the way so they could get to him," a busboy told WSOC.


On Sunday afternoon, police confirmed that two people were killed in the crash. But the deaths were not the result of an accident, police said. They allege that Self intentionally drove his car into the building.

Self was taken into custody and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. According to WSOC, one of those killed was Self's daughter, Katelyn Self, 26, a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff's Office. The other victim has been identified as Amanda Self, Roger Self's daughter-in-law, who was an emergency room nurse and the mother of two, the station reported. Three others were injured, including Amanda Self's 13-year-old daughter, according to the Gazette.

Roger Self has not filed a plea. No lawyer representing him could be located.

Two killed after father rams car into restaurant
Authorities said Roger Self intentionally drove his car into a Bessemer City, N.C., restaurant on May 20, killing his daughter and daughter-in-law. (Spectrum news)

"He drove his car into the building, killing people, so that's why we took him into custody immediately," Bessemer City Police Chief Thomas Ellis Jr. told reporters at a brief news conference on Sunday afternoon. But authorities have offered little insight into why a father would run down his family members.


"This is a hard time," Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger said at the news conference. "All I would ask is for people to keep the family in your prayers, and also the sheriff's office. Because we're suffering a little bit right now."

According to the Gaston Gazette, Roger Self arrived at the restaurant with his family, including Katelyn Self; Amanda Self; Amanda's husband, Josh, a Gaston County police officer; Josh and Amanda's 13-year-old daughter; and Roger Self's wife, Diane. The group was beginning to eat when Roger Self left the table.

Self, however, allegedly returned behind the wheel of his Jeep.

"It was chaotic, dust everywhere," a waiter recounted to the Gazette. "The woman died in my manager's arms."

Self joined the Gastonia Police Department in the 1970s, according to a 2017 profile in the Gazette. Eventually, he jumped into private investigations, specializing in loss prevention for stores and corporate clients. "My skill is learning how to gather information, getting someone to talk with me," Self told the paper.


But in recent months, Self had been wrestling with mental illness, Austin Rammell, a pastor at Venture Church, told WSOC. A family friend for 16 years, he told the station that Self was beset by anxiety, depression and mental breakdowns. Sometimes he would go days without leaving his bed, Rammell said.

"He's been taking precautions. He had all the guns removed from his house, so he was making steps that were rational steps."

The family was aware of Self's battles, Rammell said.

"Family has been loving him through this," the pastor said. "This was not a conscious act by their father, and they know that."

Two groups of Travellers are said to have clashed ahead of a First Holy Communion Mass in Newry on Saturday. Police have confirmed that officers were called to St Brigid's Church in Derrybeg after reports of a fracas before the morning ceremony. According to reports, two groups from the Travelling community were engaged in "bickering and quarrelling" as families and young children prepared themselves for their first communion. It is understood one group left the scene after the confrontation. Police said last night there were no arrests and no complaints.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that armed gardaí were present at a First Holy Communion ceremony in Longford town. It is understood a local school requested the gardaí be present due to an ongoing feud between two Traveller families. In February, four members of the same family were jailed for a total of seven-and-a-half years over a shooting at a Traveller wedding in St Mary's Church in Newtownbutler, Co Fermanagh in 2015.

In another chapter in the ongoing story called "'Murica"...

Televangelist says God told him he needs 4th private plane

QuoteJesse Duplantis, a televangelist with viewers across the globe, says God told him he needs a new jet.

Specifically, God told Duplantis he needs a Dassault Falcon 7X, a three-engine private jet capable of carrying 12 to 16 passengers at speeds up to 700 miles per hour. The Falcon 7X, which would be the fourth plane owned by Jesse Duplantis Ministries,  has a range of almost 6,000 miles and costs about $54 million new, according to SherpaReport (although used ones are listed online for as little as $20 million).

"Now, some people believe that preachers shouldn't have jets," Duplantis said in a video posted last week. "I really believe that preachers ought to ... have every available outlet to get this Gospel preached to the world." 

In fact, Duplantis said that "if Jesus was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey."

...I'd also doubt he'd be going around wearing a $5000 custom Italian suit and a $1000 watch, or be living in a multi million dollar "parsonage" that uses loopholes to get out of paying local property taxes that their flock have to pay...

QuoteDuplantis also said he was excited about the U.S. moving its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem. He said that tells him that the end time is "coming fast ladies and gentlemen."

In 2015, Duplantis appeared in a video with fellow televangelist Kenneth Copeland where they defended their need for private jets.

Copeland explained that because they are famous, they would have people coming up to them and asking for prayers. 

"You can't manage that today," Copeland said. "This dope-filled world, and get in a long tube with a bunch of demons. And it's deadly."

"And it works on your heart," Duplantis agreed. "It really does."

...yeah don't forget to give me your regular tithing but don't even think that I want you or the rest of the great unwashed to be anywhere near me (unless it earns me more money).

'Murican televangelists. F*ck them. Conmen and women hiding in plain sight.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/07/baby-born-transgender-man-could-become-first-person-without/

A baby could become the first person without a legal mother if a transgender man wins a historic court battle. 

Lawyers representing the parent told a judge that he had been biologically able to get pregnant and give birth but had legally become a man when the child was born.

The man wants to be identified as the child's "father" or "parent" on a birth certificate, however a birth registrar told the man the law requires people who give birth to children to be registered as mothers.

The man has since taken legal action against the body set up to administer statutory provisions relating to the registration of births and deaths after complaining of discrimination.

He said forcing him to register as the child's "mother" breached his human right to respect for private and family life.

The man added that such "interference" was not proportionate or necessary in the light of changes which had "evolved in society".

I'm not on here to defend cyclists but lads use a we bit of your wit, if a motorist starts doing donuts on a road or causes a serious crash from driving like a dick you don't start shouting ban all motorists. In cycling there obviously are some dicks about and deserve a boot up the hole but you can't just say ban all cyclists because there are a few morons out there.

I get what you're saying.

But motorcyclists are generally the most cautious people on our roads. Their movements are usually so deliberate. Car drivers meanwhile  tend to give more room to white van drivers, who in turn give more room to bus drivers, who in turn give more room to HGV drivers. This chain is completely natural, as an increased chance of getting crushed to death, usually evokes greater caution.

For some reason, cyclists seem unwilling / unable / immune towards accepting their place on this food chain. Usually citing some bullshit about being here before cars, they'll ride where they want, when they want, and are determined that it's everyone else's responsibility to look out for them.

It takes a particularly selfish and insular personality trait to behave like on public roads. Hence, people who are drawn to cycling on roads are, by and large, c***ts.

I think that there would be less annoyance if the roads were up to the task of having more cyclists on the roads, it will certainly reduce the amount of deaths or injuries and the sort out any road congestion and road rage that seems to follow the two!

There should not be new road built unless it has cycle lanes.. this should be factored in every time and were available tempory cycle lanes put in place... I was in Spain a few years ago and seen that by simply putting in small rubber barriers/kerbs along the road kept both parties safe. Obviously a temp measure but very effective

What a load of shit.

People aren't drawn to cycling on roads, they're drawn to cycling and, by and large there isn't anywhere else to cycle.

There are definitely some w**ker cyclists, perhaps even greater than in the general population, but I imagine most want the benefits of that sort of exercise and sport, without pissing anyone off or getting killed. It does appear to be a very emotive issue, I can only assume that its because our roads aren't designed to accommodate cars and bicycles, and maybe thats the issue we should be tackling

I don't cycle, and Ill admit that on occasion I have cracked up with them, but this post here is ridiculous.  I would hazard a guess and say the proportion of drivers that behave irresponsibly on the roads is a lot higher than cyclists.  I go through 6 roundabouts and 2 sets of traffic lights everyday to and from work, and its no far stretch to say every other car, or at least every third car the driver is doing something on their mobile phone at these points.  This seems to have got a lot worse in the last year or two.  No matter how much a cyclist might be acting the c**t. 99 times out of 100, with a bit of care from the driver, the chances of an accident can be completely avoided or greatly reduced, and will make all of 30secs a difference to your journey time.

Yes, but other motorists will generally not defend the donut lunatic even in motor forums, cyclists will always justify breaking red lights or cycling on the footpath.

I'm not on here to defend cyclists but lads use a we bit of your wit, if a motorist starts doing donuts on a road or causes a serious crash from driving like a dick you don't start shouting ban all motorists. In cycling there obviously are some dicks about and deserve a boot up the hole but you can't just say ban all cyclists because there are a few morons out there.

I get what you're saying.

But motorcyclists are generally the most cautious people on our roads. Their movements are usually so deliberate. Car drivers meanwhile  tend to give more room to white van drivers, who in turn give more room to bus drivers, who in turn give more room to HGV drivers. This chain is completely natural, as an increased chance of getting crushed to death, usually evokes greater caution.

For some reason, cyclists seem unwilling / unable / immune towards accepting their place on this food chain. Usually citing some bullshit about being here before cars, they'll ride where they want, when they want, and are determined that it's everyone else's responsibility to look out for them.

It takes a particularly selfish and insular personality trait to behave like on public roads. Hence, people who are drawn to cycling on roads are, by and large, c***ts.
I don't cycle, and Ill admit that on occasion I have cracked up with them, but this post here is ridiculous.  I would hazard a guess and say the proportion of drivers that behave irresponsibly on the roads is a lot higher than cyclists.  I go through 6 roundabouts and 2 sets of traffic lights everyday to and from work, and its no far stretch to say every other car, or at least every third car the driver is doing something on their mobile phone at these points.  This seems to have got a lot worse in the last year or two.  No matter how much a cyclist might be acting the c**t. 99 times out of 100, with a bit of care from the driver, the chances of an accident can be completely avoided or greatly reduced, and will make all of 30secs a difference to your journey time.

Most of the time I see cyclists going through traffic lights irrespective of the colour, maybe a bit more care from the cyclist could be forthcoming, everyone else who uses the road can get banned for careless, irresponsible actions, are cyclists totally immune, they certainly cycle like they are and couldn't give a flying one about any road user from my experiences.

That's a bit like saying that there is no need to crack down on pickpockets and burglars are they do not cause fatalities. But quite typical by way of excuses.

Hard to fathom the levels of hatred so many people have for cyclists, they must be getting stuck behind ignorant cyclists on a daily basis for long periods.

I hope none of you ever have the misfortune to be in accident with a cyclist as the comments on here could easily be used to prove intent on your part.

I don't cycle the roads, don't mind cyclists generally, but there two scenarios where they have me raging at them.

1. Cyclists who cycle country roads between 8 and 9am, or 5-6pm. Not only do I think they dangerously foolish, it causes no end of frustration when trying to overtake for a lot of people. Get up earlier or go out later if it is that important!

2. A queue of traffic is behind a group of cyclists, again on a minor road, and the traffic has slowed that much that the cyclists you have already overtaken are travelling faster than you and pass on the inside to rejoin their mates! When it was them that caused the queue in the first place! This has happened me on a few occasions.

Agree with the cycle lanes though - should be on every new road, but then again most of the roads themselves in NI are in a shocking state.

I ride a Belfast Bike and have to admit I break a lot of rules like cycling on the pavement and jumping the odd light when there's no other traffic about.

However years ago when six of us cycled to Donegal we moved into single file every time we heard a car behind us.

I can't get why a group of cyclists nowadays can't do that out of courtesy on a busy road?

I definitely wouldn't touch him until he'd come to a complete stop.

i've a new-found patience after making my way up and back down the mountain roads into the Dolomites and down to Lake Garda, driving a hairdryer masquerading as a car, on tiny switchback roads. But nothing to be done - so many cyclists there on holidays, just have to take it handy and expect a cyclist at every turn.
Though seriously, why would any of you put yourselves through that on holiday? Looks class though  8)

Yeah, that's definitely it. A few lads having a jokey whinge about the eternal cyclist Vs driver battle are going to device to go out and "put some manners" on a cyclist by driving into one.

I know a couple of cyclists who now have recording devices on the rear of their bikes, not sure it's doing them any good (mentally anyway) as it's bringing home how vulnerable we really are and how much some motorists don't give a f**k. Some young fellas with the R plates reported to the cops within the first week of use.

As mentioned earlier by someone else phone use whilst driving is really scary. The amount of people doing it is ridiculous.

And whether tongue in cheek or not, the attitude displayed on here does have an impact in how cyclists are treated. I cycle infrequently now, but when I did I always sought to show courtesy, didn't break red lights or drive on pavements, and called out those who did. Despite that, I noticed people went out of their way to give abuse or act the dick - and that has to be down to the general opinion that its ok to be a dick to cyclists because they hold you up a little.

Honestly surprised by the attitudes of those on here who I thought would know a little better.

Agreed. It's a bizarre thing that after 30 years of convincing then forcing people that putting on a seatbelt is not a punishment so much as a lifesaver, that we now have to go through it all again with phone usage in cars. People just won't accept that they're in charge of a lethal weapon. People are c***ts.

But without meaning to continue to pillory our two wheeled friends, what's even scarier again is a cyclist with headphones in, who's determined to take the shortest route to their destination. At least the mobile phone driver will be sticking to the roads.

Are you for real? How is a cyclist with headphones in, taking the shortest route scary for you? Darwin's Law will take soon take care of such people though in all honesty I do not think there are too many cyclists out there who are think they will cut up a car as they are in a hurry.

A driver with a mindset like yours, [of which there appears to be many on this board], on the other hand is a seriously scary prospect for any cyclist.

I know secondhand 2 people that were killed whilst cycling, easy to see why in hindsight.

Who have the God given right to cycle where they want, in as large of groups as they want with little or no consideration for others, and as you point out all wearing cameras so that if a motorist makes a mistake they can cry foul but ignore all their own failings.

Hence the food chain comment.

As a car driver on a narrow road, I exercise extreme caution when larger vehicles appear on the horizon. The driver of the other vehicle will exercise the same caution, but it's of greater importance to me to manage my space carefully, as in the event of a collision, it'll be my last action on this earth, regardless of culpability.

Whereas all too often, I witness cyclists who seem oblivious to this concept. The contrast with the behaviour of motorcyclists is stark.

Motorcyclists speed too much. I don't see how they are to be held as an example of proper highway etiquette.

This is the point that cyclists, uniquely among road users, seem as a group unable or unwilling to comprehend. On an anecdotal level it seems to me to spring from a militancy as a group that drives them to insist on their equal status as road users and on a consequent right to impede the progress of traffic whose normal speed is much greater than theirs. This will extend to cycling two abreast on a bendy road where a car travelling under the speed limit may be forced to take extreme evasive action on rounding a bend to avoid killing one of these morons. Do they really expect that all drivers should proceed at the average speed of a bike in case they should encounter one on rounding a bend?

You don't see pedestrians behaving like this. As a group, they seem to grasp the concept that it doesn't matter if you're right (as you see it) if you're dead and so they will take steps to protect themselves from traffic that may not necessarily know they're there.

And when we question this level of stupidity among the militant cycling tendency, WE are accused of being indifferent to their welfare - ignoring the fact that WE are the ones taking the trouble to point out this danger to their welfare.

'bendy road travelling under the speed limit' - if you're using the speed limit as the guide to what is safe on a bendy road where there could be anything round the next corner, not just cyclists, you're the moron, not them.

In the situation you describe they should be in single file however 2 abreast should still be smaller than most cars so i expect a car travelling along such a road should be expecting to take evasive action of another car, tractor, pedestrian, horse etc.

An interesting point in this debate is that the majority of cyclists are in fact also car drivers so have experienced both sides of the argument where as the complaining drivers have not experienced the road from a cyclist's seat.

Being on a bike on a busy road can be very intimidating whilst on your own so cycling in a group does provide more safety. I only recently took to the roads on a bike and my point of view has significantly changed. There are of course a few a$$holes on bikes who give all cyclists a bad name.

I think you will find that if you round a bend and kill someone, cyclist pedestrian whatever, that you are indeed expected to be able to stop to avoid a collision when rounding a bend without a clear view ahead, regardless of what speed they or indeed you are travelling at.

Don't start me on that. I have to live among them. And it's not only 'leave' for 'let'. They do the direct opposite as well. A Cork person will say, 'let your worries behind you and don't leave them get you down'. And if you tell them they're wrong they'll just feel sorry for you because you're not from Cork. And they won't be joking.

Unfortunately this is an all to familiar story. Single Mother takes in some random man who has no biological connection to the child. These young Mothers are being told to be careful but it's not working. A court appearance for them would then start to get the message to hit home.
Off the top of my head I can remember similar cases in Enniskillen (A Trillick man) and Bessbrook. These are only the cases that make the news. There are no doubt hundreds more.

The Mothers need to take responsibility. And if they don't, then the courts should impose responsibility on them by way of a custodial sentence.

I think the GAA should have passed a resolution for charity events (as distinct from competitive games) years ago, from the time of the Omagh bombing. But there is no point in people ranting about the GAA in relation to this particular event, the rules cannot be changed in a few weeks.  Asking for Pairc Ui Chaoimh until that change takes place is a bit like the Brexiteers asking for free access to the Single Market.

I agree with you but I was rather pointing to the fact that the ex-spouse/partner is the culprit in the vast majority of such cases.

Someone on twitter got a right roasting for making a riff-raff comment last night.

My sisters were up on top floor on Saturday afternoon - the newest addition to the family (sister's fiancé) thought he'd try to impress the new inlaws by buying a bottle of champagne...£100 later he'd started a very very expensive round.

Good article in the Business section of the Irish News today - pretty much about local people spending beyond their means - 'Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like',

The real eye opener for me is that it's stated NI has the highest concentration of BMWs  per head outside of Bavaria!

Sums it all up really. People work long hours in jobs they hate, just so they can buy stuff to impress the neighbours rather than spending time with their own family.

How many big jeeps are there in ni? Most are being leased at 600-700 per month, the cost of a lot of mortgages. Many people have them as status symbols and are at their complete limit to pay for them. Crazy thinking.

Need a bit of help and this is the best category  - got a fella tickets for the AIF and asked him for premiums for the camogie. He's charging me £50 a head for them. Would that be the price? Do they not come as part of the premium ticket package? Feels like daylight robbery but maybe I'm off the mark here in terms of value.

I would tell him to ram them.

Should never charge for these as the cost has been spent and, no offense, it's likely that the tickets would be unused without you looking for them.

Let me see if I can source 4 freebie premiums for you.

"Using executed prisoners for obtaining organs is morally abhorrent in many ways. Prisoners selected for
execution cannot provide persuasive consent to the use of the organs after death. Nor is there any
monitoring or auditing going on by independent authorities to show the validity of prisoner consent.
Prisoners are being killed and organs taken with little attention to brain death and their humane treatment
as donors. And some who are being executed are being killed for reasons that legal and ethical experts
around the world do not accept as legitimate rationales for capital punishment. This is especially true
when prisoners are executed for political, religious or spiritual beliefs.

To eradicate Falun Gong, the central Communist Party leadership established a unified chain of
operations through various levels of the extralegal "610 Office" and the Political and Legal Affairs
Committee.156 157 158 This system of persecution has also enabled the procurement of organs from
Falun Gong practitioners on demand.

The People's Liberation Army General Logistics Department has
served as the core operations unit overseeing secret detention facilities and concentration camps, as well
as the dispatch of organ sources (living "donors") and supervision of organ procurement.159 160 The entire
state apparatus, including military units, armed police, the judiciary, medical industry, and organ brokers,
has been used to carry out this crime.

Harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners not only supports the Communist Party's campaign to
destroy what it declared to be its number one enemy, but also provides financial and promotion
opportunities for civilian and military hospitals. Organ transplantation has always been a health benefit
offered to the Communist Party's elite."

Living transplants in mainland
China differ from those in the
rest of the world. In China, it is
common practice to excise
whole vital organs, such as a pair
of kidneys or a whole liver,
from living sources, thereby
killing the "donor."

The job creation and roles change all the time. Way up in the 1000s at times, when they are doing a PR drive.

But you would agree that a significant number of jobs will be required? They aren't going to magic the gold out of the ground.

ITV put out a documentary last night which started at 10:45pm about the Birmingham bombing. In it they name the two men who they believe planted the bombs and confront the one that is still living who is living alive and well in Belfast. Now this has made very little shockwaves in the British & Irish media with only the Telegraph running the story. The fact that a reporter can do this work and the police have done nothing about the matter makes you wonder.

In a statement, the GLAA added: "The operation has been supported by specialist officers from the National Crime Agency, the Cumbria Housing Department who are investigating possible health and safety breaches, and officers from Cumbria police."
It said that modern slavery exists in a whole range of forms across the UK and called on the public to contact the agency if they suspect someone is being exploited or abused.
The number of suspected victims of modern slavery has increased from 13,000 in 2013 to 136,000 in 2018, with authorities recognising they are dealing with an "evolving threat

As an aside though, (I'm not referring to any of the posters here, because they've been relatively restrained in their comments on this individual) it always surprises me how inventive people get when dreaming up punishments for people like this.  The whole "If I had an hour with him I'd do a, b and c with x, y and z implements" thing.  Social media is rife with it.  Weird stuff.

I've heard this argument a lot recently and it costs an absolute fortune to execute people in the modern day. No matter what we think executions would have to be done humanely to comply with international legal obligations, further appellate safe guards would need put in place. It's not going to save money killing someone no matter how heinous their crime. I was reading a report recently that in Oregon it costs twice as much to execute someone as it does to incarcerate them for life. That factored in court costs, prison costs etc

Cost isn't the only reason I oppose the death penalty but I can at least see where people are coming from with some of their supporting arguments. I can't on cost

Something along the lines of Kashoggi was in fact a secret agent himself who went rogue at some point.  Planned interrogation /debrief / forced repatriation went wrong or another agent took law into his own hands due to a past history between the two.  The person guilty of the killing will be dealt with as an internal security services matter in the handling of agents.

The point is that any sort of abuse that is particularly noteworthy is generally reported on widely. Shit for brains above trying to turn it into "there's a secret Muslim rape culture that the media won't report on" and whinging that reports don't specifically call out someone's religion (or in omaghjoe's case their ethnicity, but his inability to understand the difference isn't all that surprising really) when that's not the newsworthy item.

My post was to highlight that the article about the couple in Wales doesn't scream "they're white Christians!" at you, and there's no expectation that it should, so why should an article scream about the twists in Huddersfield being Muslims? Know why? I suspect you do because you're not as thick as your wannabe racist partners in crime above. Some lads here are barely a step away from being Tommy Robinson supporters ffs.

These people didn't exactly "get away with crap". They were arrested, put on trial and found guilty.
As he says, why would a report include their religion? Why is that information relevant? Would we demand it be included if the perpetrators were Christian or Jewish? It is strange that people are concerned about this omission.
Their culture/religion ordinarily wouldnt be relevant but there have been several instances of this in the north of England by men from the same background so I think it is absolutely fair to question if this behaviour is related to their background in which women are seen as subserviant.

And if the article had have included their religion that's fine. It's a bit fcuked up to be complaining that the article didn't mention their religion though.

The article did mention that the cases involved immigrant communities, a wee bit inaccurate to include all immigrants and a wee bit insulting to those of a significant minortiy in England such as those of Indian, Afro Caribbean,Polish and for that matter Irish descent.

The vast majority of all of these cases are Pakistani Muslims, like it or not there is a reoccurring pattern there and ignoring that is not having an honest conversation about it. It is one of afew reoccurring themes in these cases, another is of the local authorities turning a blind eye when they new about it. Vicky Pollard's pretty funny but perhaps she an example of how main stream society views the demographic of the victims.

They make up 10% of such cases, not 90%. It is a still a high proportion overall based on their smaller population but 90% is Tommy Robinson level projection.

But the cases are to frequent and follow to similar of a pattern to ignore

Pakistani make up <5% of the English population but Pakistani men appear to be 80%+ of the perpetrators of these crimes. (Open to correction on the figures). Its a conversation that has to be had not least by members of that community themselves, which I am sure they are having. Any social worker or policeman would give it a second glance when they hear or see of girls of a certain age mixing with a man from that background.

Incredibly these gangs are probably one of the reasons for Brexit... as well as the denials and howls of racism from the guardianesque zealots
They make up 10% of such cases, not 90%. It is a still a high proportion overall based on their smaller population but 90% is Tommy Robinson level projection.

What groups do the other 90% come from?

This is specifically a certain type of child sex abuse namely grooming gangs. Not paedo rings and not individual perpetrators.
Of all the gangs operating in the north of England nearly all were Pakistani run. The ones in Bristol and Peterborough were Somali and Roma lead.
This is not even a debate this is fact and I am sorry if it interfere with your outlook. But trying to pull a strawman...well your only fooling yourselves

Anyone who wants to do the stats to get a precise numbers go ahead, as I said I'm open to correction 

But a quick skim and you will see a pattern emerging pretty quickly, I would like to believe otherwise and thought the first of these cases were isolated when they first emerged but at this point to deny there is no link to ethnicity to these grooming gangs it would be contrary to the evidence.

He might have been wrong on his exact numbers but I think he has highlighted the grooming gangs backgrounds are similar enough to deserve a second look.
I don't know why you claim to be so anti-racist but then so hostile towards anyone who raises a point you don't agree with?

There's a problem in England in certain towns (as highlighted in the above posts) where groups of muslim men are systematically grooming young girls, raping them and hooking them to class 1 drugs. The media isn't commenting on the fact that the majority of these gangs (again we are not talking about individuals committing crimes here, this was about a gang) are made up of predominantly, if not entirely, muslim men.  Some of us are asking the question why. Why can't we call them out as muslim? Why are people like you so hell bent on defending the perpetrators and not the victims? Why can't we attach their culture and their background and their ideology to the cases? What if their culture and their ideology encourages the behaviour?

The percentage I gave was a range.... that range is correct Iceman.

The list of those convicted of teenage girl grooming gangs is there in those articles

Denying that there is an ethnic element to this type of crime is dangerous not only because of the ability to prevent the occurrence and capture of these gangs but also because it gives these EDL nutters extra leverage that Pakistanis are the problem and there is some sort of conspiracy covering it up.

There was a New Statesman article pointed towards the night time economy. Late night food outlets, mini cab drivers, etc as being the central theme to these cases, across religions and nationalities. Vulnerable girls on the fringes of society, drawn to places where they then get access to drink and drugs.
It so happens those places are predominantly peopled by migrant communities. It may also explain why it is not endemic in their home Countries and is not considered a British trait despite some Britons being involved.

At last some type of rationale explanation.

Tho it is disproportionately biased towards one country in particular.

Not too many Polish or Indians involved for example arent they involved in those late night services also (as well as white English)?

I think you might be right tho that situations like this probably triggered it and then the culture became established and spread?

Yes, but as he points out ethnicity is just one of many factors, and there has been an over emphasis on this in the media. You can see from some of the comments on here, "what religion are they".  That's not having an honest debate. Some people have obviously made up there mind already why the abuse is happening and have little regard for any other explanation, evidence or expert opinion.

I will also add that it did occur to me that the caste system operated in Pakistan, which is just as bad as India, could also play a part in how a small minority from this background could treat vulnerable children/girls. It would also add credence to Omaghjoes "Vicky Pollard" reference. They would view some sections of society as barely even human.

What is your concern regarding "racism"?

nothing to see here.... no pattern..... nothing to be concerned about......

What is your concern regarding "racism"?

The fact that the gang is Muslim? Are you implying that their religion is a predictor?

Or are you talking about the "pattern" you refer to... which is what?

As to the story itself, absolutely appalling. Hope those scumbags rot in prison for decades.

Few pages back we got into it about the prevailing ethnicity of the perpetrators in these grooming gangs

Are these guys part of the same Rotherham gang as the other cases or were there multiple gangs operating there?

Anyway needs a stand alone thread at this point

Seems apt on a day like this - practicing witchcraft is an actual crime in Canada  ;D ;D

QuoteA 27-year-old Toronto woman has been charged after a man told York Regional Police he was forced to hand over the proceeds from the sale of his home and car to a psychic who claimed the money was needed to ward away "evil spirits" tormenting him.

York Regional Police say that starting in November 2017, investigators began looking into a report of elder abuse.

In 2013, a 67-year-old man met with a psychic who went by the name of Evanna Lopez.

She allegedly told the man that in order to remove evil spirits from his home, he had to sell it and then give her all the proceeds.

He complied and handed over $600,000. She claimed the money would be returned when the spirits were vanquished.

When he asked for the money to be returned, she allegedly replied that she needed another $6,000 in cash, which she would burn in a ritualistic ceremony, in order to further ward off the pesky evil spirits.

He sold his vehicle and borrowed money from other sources to comply with this last request. Investigators said he paid several other sums of money to her before police intervened.

This week, police arrested a suspect identified as Samantha Stevenson and charged her with possession of property obtained by crime, fraud over $5,000 and pretending to practice witchcraft.

Police stress that the offence of pretending to practice witchcraft involves "individuals who fraudulently portray themselves as having fortune-telling abilities or pretend to use witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment or conjuration in order to obtain money or valuables from a victim," and the offence "is not connected in any way to a religion."

A lawyer for Stevenson appeared in court in Newmarket on Thursday morning. She is scheduled to appear next on Nov. 15.

Witchcraft is treated as a summary conviction in Canada, punishable by up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

The offence of pretending to practice witchcraft is one of six offences the federal government is seeking to repeal in upcoming legislation, saying the offence is no longer needed.

Other obsolete crimes include printing or publishing "crime comics," or challenging someone to a duel.

It is legal to drink from the age of five in the uk. You need permission from your parents and obviously can't buy booze but you can drink legally at five.

Apart from the freakin' obvious, it's "European" not "Europeon", it's "Hellenic" not "Helenic", it's "Greek" not "Geek", the first sentence is grammar abuse and the second sentence is not just grammar abuse again but is also supposed to be a statement and therefore should not have a question mark at the end. Grammar Nazi signing off...

Also, the legal alcohol drinking age of five in the UK has been like that for a long time, but it does give blurred lines where it is illegal at the same time for an adult to purchase such drink for the intention of it to be consumed in whole or part by a child. I guess the spirit of the law is to help stop gaggles of teens pestering adults going into off licences rather than parents looking to give their little Joshua or Chloe hangovers.

Lidl and Aldi have recent exposure to refusing adults accompanied by children or at least people that the cashier requested ID for. They have an absolute right to refuse to serve alcohol and it's not a bad thing that they exercise it but there also needs to be common sense.

But the politics of sharenting – whether or not to upload images of your children online, particularly prior to their being old enough to consent to it – are becoming increasingly complicated, not least given a new report which says that, by the age of 13, the average child has more than 1,000 pictures of themselves on the internet.

More carbon in the atmosphere means more powerful storms, heavier rainfall and drought
But not on Fox

https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2018/sep/20/why-are-california-wildfires-so-bad-interactive

Hot temperatures and dry conditions caused by global warming are taking a toll on west coast forests. The past five years in California have been the hottest on record, and the state recently came out of a nearly six-year drought, its second worst in history.
A lack of rainfall coupled with disappearing groundwater increases the likelihood of tree death. Dead trees act as explosive fuel when wildfires start.

There are millions of dead trees in California
Because of drought, rising temperatures and a growing epidemic of migrating bark beetles that prey on trees, an alarming number of trees, nearly 129m, have died since 2010. California has removed only 1.3m of these trees in that same period: the rest litter the state's forests with tinder.


Much of California is a time bomb
The large number of dead trees, combined with California's already dry, hot and windy climate, has made much of the state susceptible to wildfires. It doesn't take a lot to start one - humans are responsible for 84% of them - and with about a quarter of California counties facing severe or worsening drought conditions, rain and groundwater are often unavailable to help put out fires.

People are moving into high fire-risk zones
California's population grew by 3 million between 2000 and 2010, and according to the risk management company Verisk, in 2017 over a quarter of the state's population lived near moderate or high-risk fire corridors.
With this increase in population comes a higher possibility of a human-made wildfire. And as people move into these high-risk area, more buildings are in harm's way: structures generally burn longer than vegetation, allowing fire more time to spread.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crom_Cruach

Crom Cruach was a god of pre-Christian Ireland. According to Christian writers, he was propitiated with human sacrifice
According to an Irish dinsenchas ("place-lore") poem in the 12th century Book of Leinster, Crom Cruach's cult image, consisting of a gold figure surrounded by twelve stone figures, stood on Magh Slécht ("the plain of prostration") in County Cavan, and was propitiated with first-born sacrifice in exchange for good yields of milk and grain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magh_Sl%C3%A9cht

This area has been in constant occupation from pre-4000 BC up to the present day, as is evidenced by the huge number of ancient monuments which still survive. In a small area of 3 square miles (7.8 km2) there are over 80 monuments of different types, with many others bound to be discovered by future archaeological searches. It is the densest grouping of such monuments in County Cavan and possibly in Ireland.[4]



Included are[5]
9 megalithic tombs
7 Ring barrows
3 different stone circles
9 different standing stones
2 stone-rows
5 enclosures
6 crannogs
33 ráths or souterrains
3 Early-Christian church-sites

Among the most interesting lines from this is the last one:

"This report will be investigated under the normal confidential occurrence investigation process."

Why does it have to be confidential?
It's not like Ireland is conducting important air defence manoeuvres and we want it kept secret from adversaries!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crom_Cruach

Crom Cruach was a god of pre-Christian Ireland. According to Christian writers, he was propitiated with human sacrifice
According to an Irish dinsenchas ("place-lore") poem in the 12th century Book of Leinster, Crom Cruach's cult image, consisting of a gold figure surrounded by twelve stone figures, stood on Magh Slécht ("the plain of prostration") in County Cavan, and was propitiated with first-born sacrifice in exchange for good yields of milk and grain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magh_Sl%C3%A9cht

This area has been in constant occupation from pre-4000 BC up to the present day, as is evidenced by the huge number of ancient monuments which still survive. In a small area of 3 square miles (7.8 km2) there are over 80 monuments of different types, with many others bound to be discovered by future archaeological searches. It is the densest grouping of such monuments in County Cavan and possibly in Ireland.[4]



Included are[5]
9 megalithic tombs
7 Ring barrows
3 different stone circles
9 different standing stones
2 stone-rows
5 enclosures
6 crannogs
33 ráths or souterrains
3 Early-Christian church-sites
2 Early-Christian Holy Wells
2 Bullauns
2 Medieval castles.

Are there any football teams named after this geezer, Crom_Cruach?

The Florida shooting may have taken place seven months and nearly 1,500 miles away from the attack in Toronto, but the two perpetrators had something in common: they both described themselves as incels, or involuntary celibates, and had a long history of threatening women online.
Incels are members of an online community of primarily men that has proliferated in recent years. An abbreviation for the term "involuntary celibates," incels believe that because of their appearance, or the bias and behavior of women, they are unable to find a partner despite wanting one. With an emphasis on "involuntary," incels often feel that they are entitled to sex. Some believe the government should provide women for sex, while the more extremist members of the group have even proposed that female relatives should be forced to be their sex partners.

A student newspaper editor has called for the word "f**got" to be censored from The Pogues' popular song "Fairytale of New York" over claims it is offensive.

Tom Haynes, the assistant editor of The Tab, shared his opinion about the classic Christmas song in an article titled: "Dear straight people, stop singing the word 'f**got' in 'Fairytale of New York'" - which has since divided people on social media.

According to Haynes, the line in question, sung by Kirsty MacColl, "you sc**bag, you maggot, you cheap lousy f**got," is homophobic - but despite being censored on some stations, including the BBC and MTV channels, continues to be sung by "straight people" when it comes on.

The story behind The Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York'

"Only when you take a step back does something seem off with that picture in 2018," Haynes wrote.

He also points out that, despite being repurposed by the gay community, the slur can "evoke very specific memories of being bullied either online or in real life" and is comparable to the n-word.

Haynes concludes by suggesting that people simply skip the word when singing the 1987 song - which has faced lyrical controversy numerous times in the years since it was released.

"That's all - one word, two syllables. Not too much of a stretch, right?" he wrote.

The response to Haynes critique of the beloved Christmas song has been varied - with some disagreeing and labelling the editor a "snowflake" millennial, and others recognising that he has a point.

According to some people on social media, who have defended the use of the word in the song, f**got has a different meaning in old Irish slang.

"I won't be refraining from singing the lyric 'cheap, lousy f**got' in 'Fairytale of New York' because it's not in reference to any homophobic intent - in old Irish f**got simply means a lazy person," one person wrote.

I had my 8 year old daughter in the car with me the other evening, listening to his show just after 6pm, had to turn over to another station it was full of foul language.

Cryptocurrency

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612507/ethereum-thinks-it-can-change-the-world-its-running-out-of-time-to-prove-it/

To function as a decentralized network that no single entity controls, any cryptocurrency requires a consensus protocol—a process that nodes in its blockchain network use to agree, over and over again, that the information in the blockchain is valid. For Ethereum, Bitcoin, and most other cryptocurrencies, central to the consensus protocol is an algorithm called proof of work.

Proof of work works like a race. Computers designed for cryptocurrency mining devote huge amounts of processing power to repeatedly guessing at a solution to a mathematical puzzle. The first one to solve the puzzle gets to add a new "block" of valid transactions to the chain of previous ones—and receives a cryptocurrency reward. The idea behind proof of work is that would-be attackers are deterred by the massive cost of the mining hardware and electricity they would need to manipulate the ledger.

Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, did not invent proof of work but did have the inspired idea to use it as a way to make participation in a blockchain network open to the public. Anyone with the right hardware and enough electricity can mine Bitcoin, Ether, and similar cryptocurrencies—no need for permission.

Nakamoto's consensus protocol was revolutionary. But "it's absolutely horrible from every perspective that relates to performance," says Emin Gün Sirer, a computer scientist and cryptocurrency expert at Cornell University. Not only is it painfully slow; it uses way too much electricity."The energy spent is a huge multiple of the actual energy required to build the blockchain," says Sirer. Though Ethereum burns far less than Bitcoin, recent estimates suggest it still consumes about as much electricity as a small country, while Bitcoin uses about as much as a fairly large one. (The amounts fluctuate, but at the time of writing, Ethereum's consumption was on a par with Costa Rica's, and Bitcoin was roughly level with Bangladesh.)

Was reading on the BBC News NI page there that two tubes threw a glass at May McFettridge in the Opera House. What king of cretin behaves like that ffs

"Panto dame May McFettridge was allegedly attacked as she flew over the audience in a special effects helicopter at Belfast's Grand Opera House on Saturday, the Belfast Telegraph claims.

The newspaper reports that two men, aged 32 and 35, were arrested after glass was thrown at the actor, played by John Linehan, from a private box in the theatre.

They suggest there may now be a total ban on glasses and bottles being used inside the auditorium.

1. I wasn't aware the Irish state was removing religion from schools. If so, it's about time.
2. Tolerance and inclusiveness is not (or at least should not) be either a religious issue or controversial.
3. If we are going to require schools to provide education relating to sex and relationships, then why should only the needs of heterosexual people be addressed?
4. You are doing your kids no favours whatsoever if you are teaching them that homosexuality and transexuality are "abnormal" and to be feared or condemned. And that's without even getting into the real victims of that kind of bigotry, which could even end up being your own children.

The world is moving is a weird direction


They've pulled a headline out of the fact, people with female genitalia have periods whether they identify as a boy or not.

Is this not the same school where 76 children have identified themselves as transgender?  There seems to be an awful pandering to what I would think is a fad in this school.  76 would be a bit above average would it not?

Now trying to force kids to believe that this is normal. I'd advise any parent to withdraw their child when they teach these classes.

Yes, I can see how this would be controversial... for those who want to raise their kids to perpetuate bigotry and intolerance.

If that's the way you want to live your life then that's fine. Keep it at your own house.
For the state force the removal of religion from schools and replace with PC nonce sense is very hypocritical.

1. I wasn't aware the Irish state was removing religion from schools. If so, it's about time.
2. Tolerance and inclusiveness is not (or at least should not) be either a religious issue or controversial.
3. If we are going to require schools to provide education relating to sex and relationships, then why should only the needs of heterosexual people be addressed?
4. You are doing your kids no favours whatsoever if you are teaching them that homosexuality and transexuality are "abnormal" and to be feared or condemned. And that's without even getting into the real victims of that kind of bigotry, which could even end up being your own children.

Funny how bigoty and intolerance spews from the same people who are now trying to force abnormal sex education on impressionable kids. It's mostly the same lot who petitioned removing first holy communion.
If they want to run such classes do it outside school and get permission from parents first.

So inclusion and tolerance are really bigotry and intolerance towards those who are bigots, is that right? If that's the case, then the issue is whether the rationale behind bigotry and intolerance is sound. You can go ahead if you like and make the case why intolerance of homosexuality and transgenderism and equality for the same is defensible.

That aside...
1. The state has no business running religious education, unless they run it for all creeds. Its public money. THAT is what should be done outside of school.
2. LBGTQ people may be a minority, and you can even call them "abnormal", but that doesn't mean that their needs should not be catered to just like "normal" people. I'm left handed, among a very small minority of the populace and presumably, in your eyes, abnormal. Should I have been subject to "normalization" or ostracized? In previous times, an aunt of mine was beaten by the nuns in the west of Ireland into learning to write with her "right" hand.
3. I would mention other "abnormal" sections of the population, such as the kids who are accommodated and receive special needs education due to behavioural issues or intellectual disabilities, or even Down Syndrome children, but that brings up reminders of a previous, similar interaction on this board with a lad who went by various identities before being banned, among them No Wides. I can link you to those discussions if you are interested as they tread similar ground. Or maybe they're already familiar...?

Being autistic, disabled, down syndrome etc. (even left handed) are not lifestyle choices.
Wondering if you should wear trousers or a dress on a particular day is a lifestyle choice.

So that's all sexuality comes down to... whether one chooses to wear masculine or feminine clothing!

That should save a lot of people a lot of pain. Been repressing feelings about your sexuality for years? Don't worry about it. Just wear a pair of trousers (or a dress if you're got a vagina) and you're sorted!

I do need to ask though - at what point in your life did you decide you were straight?

Teaching that boys can have periods is utter stupidity.

Awareness and tolerance of transgenderism can be taught without resorting to this type of nonsense.

Straightforward question for yourself. You maintain homosexuality is a lifestyle choice and not innate. Which begs the question about when you made YOUR choice about your sexuality.

Yes it was. People like yourself typically use the LGBTQ community (and black/transgender/Hispanic etc) to virtue signal but have no problem trying to make a joke at their expense to try get in a subtle dig at another poster.

Seeing though the lies J70. Everyone else can too.

Straightforward question for yourself. You maintain homosexuality is a lifestyle choice and not innate. Which begs the question about when you made YOUR choice about your sexuality.

Did you answer this question Dolph1?

I do need to ask though - at what point in your life did you decide you were straight?
Ouch ;D

So can J70 confirm if that was a joke made at the expense of the LGBTQ community?

He might have to hand in his self-righteous pass to the other keyboard justice warriors.

I will play along for a minute and spell it out for you, as if you really are that thick.

It was not dig at LGBTQ people.



Yes it was. People like yourself typically use the LGBTQ community (and black/transgender/Hispanic etc) to virtue signal but have no problem trying to make a joke at their expense to try get in a subtle dig at another poster.

Seeing though the lies J70. Everyone else can too.

1. There was nothing subtle about my dig at your "contention" that homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. (I say contention, but your utter failure to defend it and answer my question suggests that it might be kind of half-hearted on your part and you may be just on the wind-up.)
2. I'm back to thinking you might be No Wides instead of Foxy. No Wides went through an almost identical charade to distract from his inability to address the point and defend his position during a similar discussion a couple of years ago when I referenced Down Syndrome people.

Obvious hearsay that has no weight, but the story I heard of the fly tipping incident comes from a row between two families where one of them wasn't able to get their bins emptied earlier this week as the council bin lorry couldn't get access to them. Why the rubbish was left at the Greencastle crossroads though and what amount of truth & bollix the bit above is I dunno.

Anyway, this was noted in the US politics thread but I think it's worth noting here as well...

Arizona police investigate after 'vegetative patient gives birth'
QuotePolice in the US state of Arizona have launched a sexual assault investigation amid reports a patient in a vegetative state for a decade gave birth.

The woman is a patient in a clinic run by Hacienda HealthCare near Phoenix.

Hacienda HealthCare gave no details but said it was aware of a "deeply disturbing incident".

A local CBS station said the baby was healthy and quoted a source as saying that staff had been unaware the woman was pregnant.

Just flicking through the channels and caught the last few minutes of a programme called 'The Perfect Penis' on the Really station. I don't have much but I think I'll stick with what I've got.

One guy opened his trousers and showed his balls and dick. His balls had been injected with so much silicon that they were about the size of a Size 2 football. He thought it was great but he can't have oral or penetrative sex. WTF.

I think it's stupid for women to have cosmetic surgery but even stupider for men.

Someone showed it to me on their phone. Didn't know what it was at first. Very graphic.  Like you say what is wrong with people that would film it and share it on.

Yep. No locals involved. Travelers have come to bury their dead here after one of them drown in the river there 70 odd years ago. Usually a nice little village with an adjoining forest and river, I know a few locals who understandably aren't best pleased about this carry on.

To be fair he's objecting on the grounds that the proposal has not been debated long enough. While it may be a bit pendantic it's not as reprehensible as objecting to the actual proposal.

All he's asking really is that the subject is debated and considered in more depth. It's not a request that would be difficult to oblige..

Waited 5 days to report their child missing. Both had affairs with the man and even let him sleep in their child's bed 4 nights a week, after the 1st f*ckin abduction.

Pure insane, there was completely WTF comments the whole way through this! Who gets in a car and someone asks his church mate to jerk them off as his wife is not "sorting out his needs" during his lunch hour????!!!

If this wasn't a true story you wouldn't have watched anything after the first 5 minutes as it was so unbelievable it really beggared belief.

Was the Da a bit lacking in intelligence?  Pulling yer man off in the car, then his wife has an affair with the same fella, who's also sharing a bed with their daughter, then taking off to Mexico with the wee girl and when they finally brought back dropped the charges against him.

These LDS types are really fucked in the head, Bundy used them as cover as well IIRC.

What's the craic here?

Our traveler friends apparently
Yep. No locals involved. Travelers have come to bury their dead here after one of them drown in the river there 70 odd years ago. Usually a nice little village with an adjoining forest and river, I know a few locals who understandably aren't best pleased about this carry on.

A story on how the travelers came to bury their dead there:
https://www.derryjournal.com/news/a-black-and-white-snapshot-of-travellers-life-in-park-1-4720489 (https://www.derryjournal.com/news/a-black-and-white-snapshot-of-travellers-life-in-park-1-4720489)

This is a disgrace. The travellers thirst for violence is unbelievable. It needs called out but that's not a popular stance.

Was the recent murder linked to this ?

Absolutely crazy but this is another example of affirmative action being used to discriminate on a level playing field.
How is lowering standards for only one group justified in making an equitable and fair society.

I'm going to demand that I get to compete in the Olympics 100 meters and that I can start at the 90 meter line because I'm not quite as fast at the others. Same bloody thing. ridiculous.

Yesterday. leftist guardian fluff. If they took each ethnic group on their own they may not have the same remit to start these "programs" for affirmative action. Another case of skewing the results of your study in a way that justifies your agenda.

Its pretty well known that Asian kids do better at school and college than any other group. There was a massive stink at Harvard in recent times where Asians were discriminated against. In any situation it should be only those who perform best that get the places.

Why does that even matter. Bottom line is that it's another attempt to discriminate using skewed statistics as a basis.

Universities should be punished for giving black students lower grades

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/feb/20/universities-should-be-punished-for-giving-black-students-lower-grades

Is your issue with the headline (which doesn't seem to be rooted in the piece) or the idea of the government trying to raise minority academic achievement to that of whites?

It's not minorities. Asian kids are well ahead.

Did you read the article?

Yesterday. leftist guardian fluff. If they took each ethnic group on their own they may not have the same remit to start these "programs" for affirmative action. Another case of skewing the results of your study in a way that justifies your agenda.

Its pretty well known that Asian kids do better at school and college than any other group. There was a massive stink at Harvard in recent times where Asians were discriminated against. In any situation it should be only those who perform best that get the places.

https://www.vox.com/first-person/2018/10/18/17995270/asian-americans-affirmative-action-harvard-admissions-lawsuit

The article is about Britain.

I used the Harvard case as an example. Plenty of citations of the same in Britain (this one from the same lefty-weirdy paper).

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/09/east-asian-school-success-culture-curriculum-teaching

What percentage of the UK Asian population do Chinese and Koreans make up?

Any stats on people of south and southwest Asian descent?

Why does that even matter. Bottom line is that it's another attempt to discriminate using skewed statistics as a basis.
Take each student on their individual merit.

Apparently it matters to you (as it always seems to when it comes to black people). YOU are the one who took exception to Asians being included, which it clearly states they are in the article.

And where is the discrimination?

All I see in that article are references (no specifics) to existing programmes at certain universities which are apparently designed to help members of that BAME group.

What I said is that Asians already do well. Why would they then be included in a program to advance minorities to the detriment of people who already don't do as well.

Irish kids in Britain don't do as well. But f**k them. They're the wrong colour.

I don't know what the details of those programmes are. However, I presume you're well up on the details given your emphatic comments here, so let's hear about them.

Spare us the boilerplate right wing vacuous fluff and give us some actual facts. It could be a shit programme. But you've offered absolutely nothing to suggest it is.

Have you or someone close to you ever been in a bidding war for a house? And the thought goes through your mind, is there really someone bidding against me? But then, even though you're sceptical and untrusting, you'd usually convince yourselves that while most estate agents are incompetent they're probably not crooked.

Well now, according to the paper today, new regulations are proposed whereby the "creation of a false or misleading bid" by real estate agents will be a breach of professional conduct.

So that must mean that, at the moment, the creation of such false bids is NOT a breach of professional conduct   :o

Just in the process of putting our house on the market,but when we bought this one I got a feeling there was no one bidding against us, the more I thought about it years later I'm convinced there wasn't anyone else bidding on it,was only in my early 20's at the time so knew no better, hopefully when we are buying our next in a few months I will be a bit more clued in!!

I've a brother who was looking at houses in and around the Killarney area a few years back and he was adamant that the auctioneer was faking bids on houses to get the price up.

A billionaire diamond trader died after 'suffering a heart attack' during a penis enlargement operation at a private Paris clinic. Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, had visited an unidentified health centre on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in the French capital on Saturday. But complications during the procedure proved fatal, with Belgian media reporting that the gem expert's heart attack occurred when a substance was injected into his penis...

He got through the first 65 years of his life with the equipment he was born with. Why now? :o

Magnifying glass would have done the job😜

Im disappointed the headline wasn't "Diamond dealer dies after operation on family jewels". Surely one paper came up with something similar to that?

QuoteAn Irishman named Elvis Presley has denied leaving a Blackpool launderette all shook up by brandishing a knife.

The defendant, whose full name is Elvis Aaron Presley, pleaded not guilty at Preston Crown Court to threatening alleged victim Fayaz Ayub with a folding pocket knife at the shop on Dickenson Road, Blackpool, on 23 January.

Mr Presley confirmed his name after he entered the dock and asked his nationality replied: "Irish."

A second charge, of assault by beating the same victim during the incident, was also put to him.

Mr Presley replied: "Guilty. I didn't beat him, I punched him."

The defendant appeared hard of hearing and conducted a three-way conversation, with the prison officer in the dock relaying the words of the judge and court officials to him, during the brief hearing.

Paul Brookwell, prosecuting, said the pleas entered were not acceptable and there would have to be a trial before a jury on the charge of having the knife to threaten Mr Ayub.

Judge Nicholas Barker set a date of 11 July for a two-day trial at the same court and bailed the defendant on condition that he does not contact his alleged victim.

Elvis Presley left the building pursued by press photographers.

YouTube face-off: Berlin police break up mass brawl  :D

The fight broke out on Thursday evening in one of the main squares in the German capital, police said. Nine people were injured.
More than 400 people had gathered after two social media influencers reportedly urged their fans to join a face-off.
As tensions escalated, a large melee involving around 50 people erupted.
Officers used pepper spray and tear gas after attempts to disperse the crowds in Alexanderplatz with loudspeakers failed.

Liverpool score 2 goals in 2 minutes. RTÉ have 3 different spellings of the goalscorer's name .
Whatever you are having yourself


* It's Wijnaldum again. Shaqiri finds the Dutchman with a perfect cross from the left side and the Barcelona defence stood stock still. 
* Wijanldum rose and headed past the stranded ter Stegen. Astonishing stuff. 















*       21:13 GOAL
53 mins: Liverpool 2-0 Barcelona
"Within touching distance of their miracle"

'Ninja bomb': Pentagon's new bladed missile that kills targets without exploding
•   Ben Farmer


The Pentagon has built a new missile known as a 'ninja bomb' which deploys a ring of steel blades to kill its target rather than exploding.
The secret R9X missile is designed to destroy individual terrorist targets without harming surrounding civilians and could potentially kill a car's front seat passenger without harming the driver.
American forces have only used the highly specialised weapon a handful of times since it was first developed from the more common Hellfire missile, the Wall Street Journal reported.
R9X missiles are thought to have been used on targets in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia. Victims include Jamal al-Badawi, who was accused of being behind the 2000 USS Cole bombing that killed 17 American sailors in a Yemeni port.
Ahmad Hasan Abu Khayr al-Masri, the Egyptian al Qaeda No 2, was also killed in Syria's Idlib province by an R9X fired from a US aircraft operated by the CIA in 2017.
There had been speculation about the possibility of a new Pentagon weapon after analysts noted the unusual aftermath of at least one high profile counter terrorism strike.
 
Moments before impact the missile deploys a ring of steel blades
America's weapon of choice for air strikes targeting terrorist suspects has long been the high precision Hellfire missile, which began life as a Cold War anti-tank missile but later became used for counter-terrorism strikes.

The Hellfire explodes on impact and reduces targets to blasted, burnt wreckage. Hellfire missiles are still used to target groups of militants where there are no concerns about civilian casualties.
However, photographs of Masri's vehicle after he was killed instead showed an oblong hole torn into the roof, with no burn marks to suggest an explosion. The windscreen was only cracked.
The R9X, which is nicknamed "the flying Ginsu" after a brand of American household knives, carried an inert warhead and was designed to punch 100lb of metal through car and building roofs, officials told the paper.
The effect is likened to an anvil falling from the sky onto the target. But the weapon is made more deadly by a ring of six long blades stowed inside which deploy through the skin of the missile immediately before impact, shredding anything in their way.


As well as cars, the weapon could also be used on flimsy buildings which could collapse and kill others if hit by an explosion.
The new missile was under development as early as 2011 and was reportedly born from Barack Obama's emphasis on cutting civilian casualties in America's long-running counter insurgency and counter terrorism campaigns in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
Officials said terrorist fighters had become increasingly aware of American efforts to cut civilian casualties because of the anger they caused among the local people.
Mr Obama in May 2013 said he was not ordering any strikes unless there was "near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured". Terrorists had adapted to the American hesitancy to strike by increasingly hiding among groups of women and children as human shields to avert strikes.
The R9X is now only used in limited cases, to target single individuals where there is detailed information about their location, officials said

'Ninja bomb': Pentagon's new bladed missile that kills targets without exploding
•   Ben Farmer


The Pentagon has built a new missile known as a 'ninja bomb' which deploys a ring of steel blades to kill its target rather than exploding.
The secret R9X missile is designed to destroy individual terrorist targets without harming surrounding civilians and could potentially kill a car's front seat passenger without harming the driver.
American forces have only used the highly specialised weapon a handful of times since it was first developed from the more common Hellfire missile, the Wall Street Journal reported.
R9X missiles are thought to have been used on targets in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia. Victims include Jamal al-Badawi, who was accused of being behind the 2000 USS Cole bombing that killed 17 American sailors in a Yemeni port.
Ahmad Hasan Abu Khayr al-Masri, the Egyptian al Qaeda No 2, was also killed in Syria's Idlib province by an R9X fired from a US aircraft operated by the CIA in 2017.
There had been speculation about the possibility of a new Pentagon weapon after analysts noted the unusual aftermath of at least one high profile counter terrorism strike.
 
Moments before impact the missile deploys a ring of steel blades
America's weapon of choice for air strikes targeting terrorist suspects has long been the high precision Hellfire missile, which began life as a Cold War anti-tank missile but later became used for counter-terrorism strikes.

The Hellfire explodes on impact and reduces targets to blasted, burnt wreckage. Hellfire missiles are still used to target groups of militants where there are no concerns about civilian casualties.
However, photographs of Masri's vehicle after he was killed instead showed an oblong hole torn into the roof, with no burn marks to suggest an explosion. The windscreen was only cracked.
The R9X, which is nicknamed "the flying Ginsu" after a brand of American household knives, carried an inert warhead and was designed to punch 100lb of metal through car and building roofs, officials told the paper.
The effect is likened to an anvil falling from the sky onto the target. But the weapon is made more deadly by a ring of six long blades stowed inside which deploy through the skin of the missile immediately before impact, shredding anything in their way.


As well as cars, the weapon could also be used on flimsy buildings which could collapse and kill others if hit by an explosion.
The new missile was under development as early as 2011 and was reportedly born from Barack Obama's emphasis on cutting civilian casualties in America's long-running counter insurgency and counter terrorism campaigns in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
Officials said terrorist fighters had become increasingly aware of American efforts to cut civilian casualties because of the anger they caused among the local people.
Mr Obama in May 2013 said he was not ordering any strikes unless there was "near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured". Terrorists had adapted to the American hesitancy to strike by increasingly hiding among groups of women and children as human shields to avert strikes.
The R9X is now only used in limited cases, to target single individuals where there is detailed information about their location, officials said

2. If the person knows they're being videoed, they obviously go OTT so they can end up on the Late Late Show or on Love Island  ::)

Squash is all the buzz in Spain

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48348431 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48348431)

A squash championship in northern Spain has sparked a debate about sexism in sport after female participants were awarded a vibrator, wax and a kit to remove foot calluses.

The top women players of the Asturias championship wrote to the local squash federation to complain about the incident.

It prompted resignations at the club that organised the event.

Contest winner Elisabet Sadó told the BBC that "things have to change".

Ms Sadó was awarded a trophy and a vibrator for getting the top spot in the competition.

The women in second, third and fourth places won an electronic foot file or hair removal wax.

"We were very surprised, very shocked. We think it's very sexist," Ms Sadó said.

How much sexism do women in rugby face?
Why politics is toxic for Australia's women
"We wanted to explain it to everybody because we think... there's a lot of discrimination... [against women in sport] and things have to change."

The women sent the prizes to the local squash federation along with a letter of complaint. The federation has helped them to take action.

Insurance costs are soaring, small businesses are failing due to these exorbitant insurance costs, yet someone who should be seen as a role model is making a claim like this.

First things first,  we do not know the full extent of why she is taking her case so to make assumptions about the whole case on a single excerpt from the proceedings is wrong.  We don't know how she fell and we do not know the extent of her injuries and there is political capital being made out of this without full facts.

Secondly she is not claiming for €60k and this is a f**king real bug bear of mine.  She has issued her case in the Circuit Court which has a range from €15k to €60k.  Even at the best case scenario most cases that are issued within this bracket settle or are awarded in the €15-30k mark.  There is an agenda being driven at the minute that there are exorbitant damages being paid out but that is categorically wrong.  The damages being paid out are generally in line with the Book of Quantum that was drafted by the Government and therefore the legal profession are simply following what the industry standard in the country has been for years! 

Thirdly, I work as a litigation solicitor in Personal Injury.  I can count on 2 hands the amount of what would be deemed fraudulent cases I have seen in my whole career.  I have dealt with hundreds, maybe thousands of cases.  My professional colleagues would have the same experience.  It would seem, if the insurance industry are to be believed, through their Blue Shirt media mouthpiece The Independent, that every second case that is being litigated on is fraud.  It is not.  The integrity of the legal profession is being undermined constantly without any real cogent evidence to back it up. 

Fourthly,  the amount of claims per head of capita are actually reducing!  The Injuries Board released figures last year which showed that the amount of claims are reducing in comparison to how many people live in the country.  The amount of claims has increased but as a stand alone statistic that does not allow for the increase in the population over the last 20 years,  it has increased by over 1m.  Also, we hve a much more affluent country therefore the amount of cars on the road have increased significantly which obviously has a knock on effect of more road traffic accidents.  Thirdly,  with the building boom and economic boom in general with more factories etc in teh country, there has been a significant increase in work place accidents.  These types of factors are never thrown out whenever people discuss the idea of the 'claim culture'.

Finally the insurance companies are complicit in the whole issue of carteling and price fixing.

https://www.independent.ie/business/personal-finance/latest-news/insurance-pricefix-inquiries-set-to-drag-on-37866267.html

It is not inconsequential that there is a serious blame game being driven against the Legal profession to deflect from the fact that the insurance companies have been ripping us off to our faces for years.  A simple example is the question of the soft play areas that have had difficulty getting insurance and had to get together and go to England.  In the last 5 years they have paid,  as a group, to Irish insurance companies a total of €5m in premiums,  increasing on a year by year basis.  During that time the total amount of compensation paid out to all plaintiffs for accidents in these soft play areas was just over €200k....that does not compute in my book. 

Don't believe all you read about insurance fraud etc.  It is part of an industry deflection to cover up their own sneaky and underhand behaviour for years.

True, but her reported claim that the swing wasn't supervised, with the implication that every swing should be permanently supervised, is risible and, if true, fully warrants and deserves the contempt that the case publicity has attracted.

This would be a statement that would make up part of the statements of negligence and would be one of maybe 15-16 statements.  The barrister would draft it and it would generally be a catch all type statement to ensure that no possible cause is left out.  What I would like to know is why have the rest of the statements not been released.....maybe because they are not so newsworthy and 'shocking'?  People are being played...

Fair enough but facts will always be cherry picked. For that precise reason, people with reputations to protect tend to avoid litigation wherever possible.

Setting aside the recent development, would you consider this a legitimate claim, (while conceding you may not have all the detai)l? Surely the duty of care should start with the individual, Christ she was on a swing!! And while this may be a particularly extreme case do people no longer take responsibility for their own actions. In the instance of the soft play areas, I listened to an owner on Matt Cooper who provided some examples of claims which were in my view the parents taking advantage of the situation (and these were not life long or life changing injuries). As someone who works in the field have you seen an increase in business? I would also agree that insurance companies are using the narrative to their advantage.

Is this not one of those gimmick type swings you get in nightclubs rather than one you'd get in a play park? I think Ollies in Belfast have one... the brass neck of your woman, then again she is Fine Gael so there is no surprise there. Rejected the hotels cheque to cover medical costs. I'm all for people seeking compensation they are entitled to but when it's a result of their own clumsiness or idiocy I have no sympathy

Well it was completely fraudulent, so fair play to the media for sorting her out.

Alan Farrell FG TD also had a fraudulent claim recently. Judge said he totally exaggerated his injuries and he was caught up ladders putting up posters when he was supposed to be crippled with pain. But judge still gave him 2,500 (he was looking for 15k)

Of course the solicitors encourage this.  More cases. More fees. No brainer.

Maria Bailey FG Politics. 60k for falling off an unsupervised swing whilist holding items in both her hands. Insurance costs are soaring, small businesses are failing due to these exorbitant insurance costs, yet someone who should be seen as a role model is making a claim like this. Sense of entitlement from this yoke is disgusting.

First things first,  we do not know the full extent of why she is taking her case so to make assumptions about the whole case on a single excerpt from the proceedings is wrong.  We don't know how she fell and we do not know the extent of her injuries and there is political capital being made out of this without full facts.

Secondly she is not claiming for €60k and this is a f**king real bug bear of mine.  She has issued her case in the Circuit Court which has a range from €15k to €60k.  Even at the best case scenario most cases that are issued within this bracket settle or are awarded in the €15-30k mark.  There is an agenda being driven at the minute that there are exorbitant damages being paid out but that is categorically wrong.  The damages being paid out are generally in line with the Book of Quantum that was drafted by the Government and therefore the legal profession are simply following what the industry standard in the country has been for years! 

Thirdly, I work as a litigation solicitor in Personal Injury.  I can count on 2 hands the amount of what would be deemed fraudulent cases I have seen in my whole career.  I have dealt with hundreds, maybe thousands of cases.  My professional colleagues would have the same experience.  It would seem, if the insurance industry are to be believed, through their Blue Shirt media mouthpiece The Independent, that every second case that is being litigated on is fraud.  It is not.  The integrity of the legal profession is being undermined constantly without any real cogent evidence to back it up. 

Fourthly,  the amount of claims per head of capita are actually reducing!  The Injuries Board released figures last year which showed that the amount of claims are reducing in comparison to how many people live in the country.  The amount of claims has increased but as a stand alone statistic that does not allow for the increase in the population over the last 20 years,  it has increased by over 1m.  Also, we hve a much more affluent country therefore the amount of cars on the road have increased significantly which obviously has a knock on effect of more road traffic accidents.  Thirdly,  with the building boom and economic boom in general with more factories etc in teh country, there has been a significant increase in work place accidents.  These types of factors are never thrown out whenever people discuss the idea of the 'claim culture'.

Finally the insurance companies are complicit in the whole issue of carteling and price fixing.

https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/price-fixing-probe-into-motor-insurance-companies-454045.html

https://www.independent.ie/business/personal-finance/latest-news/insurance-pricefix-inquiries-set-to-drag-on-37866267.html

It is not inconsequential that there is a serious blame game being driven against the Legal profession to deflect from the fact that the insurance companies have been ripping us off to our faces for years.  A simple example is the question of the soft play areas that have had difficulty getting insurance and had to get together and go to England.  In the last 5 years they have paid,  as a group, to Irish insurance companies a total of €5m in premiums,  increasing on a year by year basis.  During that time the total amount of compensation paid out to all plaintiffs for accidents in these soft play areas was just over €200k....that does not compute in my book. 

Don't believe all you read about insurance fraud etc.  It is part of an industry deflection to cover up their own sneaky and underhand behaviour for years.

You haven't taken into account the increase in H&S requirements put on businesses in the past 20 years.  You say that the claims per capita has decreased but you have to consider this against a backdrop of a huge increase in the precautions that have been taken in order to prevent accidents.  A building site today is unrecognisable when compared to one 20 years ago.  The fact that the number of claims are still managing to increase can only be down to people (maybe lawyers?) getting ever more inventive in the things that they think they claim for. e.g. an adult falling off a swing in a bar because it was unsupervised and didn't have any operating instructions...

This would be a statement that would make up part of the statements of negligence and would be one of maybe 15-16 statements.  The barrister would draft it and it would generally be a catch all type statement to ensure that no possible cause is left out.  What I would like to know is why have the rest of the statements not been released.....maybe because they are not so newsworthy and 'shocking'?  People are being played...

Still risible and still deserving of nothing but contempt. She's a TD for heaven's sake.

On the specific point I would agree with you but on the general issue of media reporting of PI claims I have serious issues about the cherry picking of the facts
I didn't bother getting involved in this thread until now. TBH, I felt a bit sorry for Ms. Bailey in one way- she was just the wrong person the wrong place at the wrong time. Loads of others have been doing this for years and I mean pushing frivolous injuries as a reason for exorbitant awards is nothing new.
I have had enough direct, personal experience of damage claims as a plaintiff, defendant and witness to stand over what I am saying. Can't help feeling legal arguments don't count for as much as the choice of judge and the time of day does. Judges have their peculiarities and the outcome of any case can depend on the present disposition of the buck on the bench.
Two recent claims put me in this state  of mind.


It was reported in yesterday's papers that a case brought by a couple was thrown out by a judge in Limerick Circuit Court. The pair claimed compensation for personal injuries and car damage when another driver tipped their car in a shopping car park. (That's the condensed version.) Sean O'Donnabhain, the judge, having viewed cctv footage, said the impact was so minor that neither the car nor the couple could have suffered any damage. He dismissed their claims and awarded costs to the insurance company defending the case.
Can't help feeling that I wish we had more like him and that he saw the case for what it was- fraud by any name one cares to mention.
However, there was  another recent case that comes to mind, where I wish Sean O'Donnabhain was hearing it. A woman brought a claim for substantial damages against Dunnes Stores.
It seems she was shopping in one of the stores and managed to fall into an open top freezer!
She wanted a portion of Donegal Catch but the problem was that the only ones left were at the back of the display fridge and her arms were too short to reach in and retrieve what she wanted.
So she overreached and fell in!
(Dunno how she managed to do that but that's what she claimed anyway.) Fact is she won her claim and was awarded substantial damages. JUdge reckoned Dunnes should have notices warning people not to overreach for anything but to seek out store personnel instead. (FFS!)
What do both of those cases and Maria Bailey's have in common?
IMO, all plaintiffs took legal advice before pursuing their respective cases but all wound up with greatly varying results.
It's improbable any any of those three, or tens of thousands of others, pursue personal injury claims unless they are assured that they have a very good chance of succeeding. Chances are that they handed over their money, VAT included, before their cases were called so win, lose or draw, those who decide if a case goes forward or not are the only ones likely to win.
In short, Bailey deserves all the flak she's getting but nothing is said about the whoever advised her to present her claim and probably assured her she'd be on a winner.

Both Bush Senior (who only lasted one term) and Junior attacked multiple countries during their first terms.
Obama's disastrous attack on Libya happened during his first term.

Reagan attacked Grenada during his first term.

https://www.irishexaminer.com/examviral/ladybird-bloom-over-california-is-so-big-it-is-picked-up-by-weather-radar-929354.html

QuoteMillions of ladybirds formed a swarm so big that it appeared on radar.

The 80-mile swarm was spotted by meteorologists over Southern California on Wednesday.

The National Weather Service showed the swarm moving through the desert, around 70 miles from Los Angeles.

"The large echo showing up on SoCal radar this evening is not precipitation, but actually a cloud of lady bugs termed a 'bloom'," the National Weather Service's (NWS) San Diego station tweeted on Wednesday.

The large echo showing up on SoCal radar this evening is not precipitation, but actually a cloud of lady bugs termed a "bloom"
It is reported that Joe Dandrea, a meteorologist in that office, had to call an observer in the San Bernadino mountains to find out the nature of the huge radar return.

He told the LA Times: "The observer there said you could see little specks flying by. I don't think they're dense like a cloud."

They were spotted using next-generation radar were flying at between 5,000ft and 9,000ft, he said.

Ring Cardé, a professor of entomology at the University of California Riversdale, had one possible explanation.

He told Reuters it could be the case that a large population of ladybirds had been spread out over land in a mountainous area, and rising temperatures triggered their mass migration.

There are about 5,000 different species of ladybirds, also known as ladybugs, lady beetles or ladybird beetles, in the world.

The most familiar is the seven-spotted ladybird, with a shiny red-and-black body.

In many cultures, ladybirds are considered good luck.

And they are also seen as good luck for farmers, as they eat aphids and other plant-eating pests.

A single lady beetle may eat as many as 5,000 aphids in its lifetime.

I didn't say "right wing", I said "right wing reactionary/racist". There's a difference. One can be in favour of small government or low taxes, for example, without being a bigot or pursuing bigoted, mean-spirited, dehumanizing policies.

And if pointing out his divisive, bigoted, rhetoric and policies is "race baiting"  to you, that says more about you personally than it does about the real world. I guess in your eyes someone in the north back in the day reacting to and highlighting the toxic rhetoric of Ian Paisley, a man of proportionally similar influence in his environment, would have been guilty of inciting sectarian tensions?

And what does Trump cosying up to dictators while treating traditional allies like shit have anything to do with starting or engaging in war? And if Trump doesn't want war, one is forced to wonder what the hell the likes of John Bolton are doing in such prominent positions in his foreign policy team?

Seriously? It has to be explained to you that racism has a nice, comfortable home on the far right of the political spectrum and is given tacit and explicit encouragement by Trump?

And again, there is nothing wrong with criticizing racist rhetoric and policies. Pointing them out may make those who are in agreement with such rhetoric and policies uncomfortable, but that's their problem. In the world of Fox News and right wing talk radio, they like to shut down debate by crying "race baiting" and "class warfare", but meanwhile they hype up and promote the non-existent persecution and victimization of white Christians and men. (I'll bet you're getting excited about the "straight pride" festival some far right numbnuts are trying to arrange in Boston this summer? ;))

Most US presidents, working in the real world, find pragmatic common ground where they have to, sometimes for better, often for worse. Few have bent over backwards and disgraced themselves with their fawning over men like Putin, Kim, Duterte, Orban and the like, taking sides with them against their own government, all the while telling traditional, long-standing allies to go f**k themselves.

Clinton, Bush Junior and Obama all tolerated and co-operated with Putin.
Duterte is a nobody.

The likes of Orban, Duterte and Bolsonaro may be "nobodies" on the world stage, but that hasn't stopped Trump singling them out for praise, despite their rise on the back of fear mongering and demagoguery, similar to himself.
Kim – Trump is STILL talking about what a nice, smart guy he is!
Putin – the others may have cooperated with him to some degree. However, they didn't point blank refuse to condemn him under any circumstance. They didn't side with him against the official views of their own governments and agencies.
And yes, I didn't mention China. Nor did I condemn what he is doing with respect to China. A broken clock is still right twice a day. Doesn't make up for the appalling shitshow that is his overall presidency and personal conduct.

Second, if Trump "supports" LBGT rights, then why is he and his administration fighting in the courts and military every chance they get to deny them support and rights?

QuoteA judge in Minneapolis has sentenced lawyer Paul Hansmeier to 14 years' imprisonment for a scheme which saw him upload pornographic material to file-sharing networks before threatening to sue people who downloaded them, Ars Technica reports.
"It is almost incalculable how much your abuse of trust has harmed the administration of justice," said Judge Joan Ericksen at a sentencing hearing on Friday.
In 2012, Mr Hansmeier and his business partner John Steele came to the attention of the media after their law firm, Prenda Law, devised a novel way of gaining more business: it uploaded the pornographic videos itself – including ones produced by employees.
Prosecutors say the men made more than $6 million between 2010 and 2013 by demanding sums small enough that parties were more likely to settle out of court.
A number of cases around the country revealed Prenda's fraud and the pair were referred to federal prosecutors.
In 2016 they were arrested and charged with federal fraud as well as money laundering and perjury.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune said of the prosecution's case: "When challenged by judges around the country, Hansmeier blamed other lawyers who were hired to file lawsuits on his behalf, lied to the courts about his own involvement, and ordered the destruction of evidence."
Mr Steele pleaded guilty in 2017 and will be sentenced next month. Mr Hansmeier, however, fought the charges before accepting a plea deal in August last year that allows him to reserve the right to appeal an earlier ruling.
He was ordered to repay victims $1.5m in restitution.

UK  is getting more like America with a dangerous claim culture precedent being set.

A woman looking at her mobile phone steps into cyclist path, gets knocked down. Judge finds both parties equally to blame (not really sure how when you see the extract below!!) but here's the kicker. Because only the woman put in a claim she not only received a £4k payout but  he has to foot the court costs of £100k. Joke.

The court heard Brushett was one of a "throng" of people trying to cross the road at the start of the evening rush hour. She was looking at her mobile phone when crossing the road while the lights were green for traffic, and only noticed Hazeldean approaching at the last moment.

The judge said Hazeldean was "a calm and reasonable road user" but was still liable to pay damages, adding: "Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways."

Alabama woman charged after losing unborn baby in shooting.

se in Alabama has faced widespread criticism from rights groups

A 27-year-old woman in Alabama has been indicted for manslaughter after losing her unborn baby in a shooting - despite not being the shooter.

Marshae Jones was arrested on Wednesday for initiating a dispute last December that led to another woman shooting her in the stomach, local media reported.

Charges against the shooter were dismissed after a failed indictment.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/man-wakes-up-funeral-coffin-death-india-lucknow-uttar-pradesh-a8985726.html

QuoteThe grave was dug, the family present and the body about to be buried. But a funeral in India took a turn for the unexpected when the supposedly dead man started to move.

Mourners at Mohammad Furqan's send-off looked on in astonishment as they realised their loved one – declared deceased by doctors – was still very much alive.

The 20-year-old was rushed back to hospital and placed on a ventilator.

But the story of the narrow escape in the city of Lucknow has shocked the country, raised questions about its healthcare system and prompted the launch of an investigation in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Crucially, it was reportedly claimed that Mr Furqan – who has been unconscious since an accident on 21 June – was declared dead on Monday after his family told an unnamed private hospital caring for him that they had run out of money to pay his bills.He was sent home in an ambulance the same day with doctors saying he had passed away.

Older brother Mohammad Irfan said the family had been left traumatised by the roller coaster of emotions.

He told the Hindustan Times: "Devastated, we were preparing for the burial when some of us saw movement in his limbs. We immediately took Furqan to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital where the doctors said he was alive and have put him on ventilator support.

"We had paid Rs 7 lakh [£8,000] to the private hospital earlier and when we told them that we had run out of money, they had declared Furqan dead."

Narendra Agarwal , chief medical officer in Lucknow, said: "We have taken cognisance of the incident and the matter will be thoroughly probed."
He added: "The patient is in critical condition but definitely not brain dead. He has pulse, blood pressure and his reflexes are working. He has been put on ventilator support."

2fm is an RTE run station so it is part publicly funded, and no you are not prudish to be questioning something like that being on the live radio at 11am during the summer holidays when a lot of kids might be listening...

https://www.rte.ie/news/europe/2019/0712/1061791-netherlands-letters/

Dutch police have found thousands of letters buried in holes in a forest by a postman, officials said, adding that they are seeking a motive.

Police made the discovery on Wednesday after a walker near the central town of Laren alerted them to mounds of earth and part of a shovel.

They found a "significant amount" of mail in eight holes each measuring one metre deep. Some were buried for weeks.

"They were mostly bills, magazines, and publicity letters," a spokesperson for the Sandd postal company said.

The company said it was not revealing the identity of the postman.

"It was someone who has unfortunately not respected our work standards. We are taking the necessary measures," the spokesperson added.

They did not comment on why the postman was believed to have buried the letters.

The letters that are still in good condition are being sent to their destinations, albeit several weeks late.

Those that have rotted will be destroyed after consultations with the senders.

"They've spent several weeks underground in a forest. They are mouldy and dirty," the spokesperson said.

"We very much regret what happened. Our goal is clearly to deliver mail on time. Clearly that didn't happen," they added

Pat had a melt down!

The inquiry ordered by the Fine Gael party into Maria Bailey's compensation claim was made public today and Leo Varadker has removed poor Maria as chairwoman of the Oireachtas Housing Committee as a result. That means a €9,500 a year hit for her but her friend Josepha Madigan may be in trouble too.
Seems she gave the initial legal advice to Bailey.
The only thing about this that surprises me is that the Opposition party have had so little to say on the matter so far. Must have been waiting for the FG report to be made  public.
I have a feeling that this is going to change rapidly.

Dublin Airport received almost 4000 noise complaints in the first six months of the year.

3,100 were made by ONE person.

Someone is complaining to the airport 17 times a day.

🤯

It was Michael O'Leary, complaining about Aer Lingus planes.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/08/05/tate-modern-teenager-arrested-throwing-french-boy-10th-floor/

A teenager who has been charged of throwing a six-year-old French boy from the viewing platform at Tate Modern may have spent up to two hours selecting his victim, Scotland Yard has said.

The 17-year-old, who has been charged on suspicion of attempted murder, is thought to have been hanging around the gallery acting suspiciously from around midday on Sunday.

At some point he ascended to the 10th floor viewing level and just after 2.30pm allegedly grabbed a six-year-old boy, who was with his mother, and hurled him over the balcony.

The youngster, a French national, who was visiting London with his family, remained in a critical but stable condition in hospital.

The boy fell five storeys, around 100ft, before landing on a fifth floor roof of the gallery.

Witnesses described hearing a loud bang before seeing a woman screaming: "Where's my son, where's my son?."

The little boy was airlifted to hospital, where it was initially feared that he might not survive.

It is never widely commented, but Northern Ireland already has a Catholic Majority.  You occasionally see references in articles which claim that NI might have a catholic majority by 2021, but that is simply because the census which will confirm it is happening in 2021.  Statisticians already worked out from previous census figures, birth rates, school rolls, death rates etc, that the day that the number of Catholics overtook the total number of all denomination protestants was some date in early 2017, which was dubbed Lord Brookeborough Day.

It is also possible he is referring to the original meaning of the phrase as espoused by Horace before Owen changed the meaning to stand for exactly the opposite.

The phrase is used extensively in war monuments and military schools.

The budget airline told the union the decision to close the base, which operates ten aircraft in summer, was part of wider planned cuts flagged last week due to weaker earnings, the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX and concerns over Brexit, said SNPVAC director Fernando Gandra."

UK residents took an average of 1.6 holidays abroad in 2018. Overall, residents took 3.4 holidays per person, including domestic vacations within the United Kingdom.

Are people taking fewer holidays abroad?

Despite figures showing a decrease in the average number of overseas holidays, there is yet to be evidence of a drastic change in the behavior of British travelers. The number of holiday trips taken abroad has increased each year, and Brits appear to be as keen as ever to travel. The rising price of international travel and the impact of Brexit however are issues that potentially threaten future travel trends, pushing more travelers to vacation at home.

There is evidence of lower spending.
Ryanair has closed its Faro base in Portugal and will open one in Malta. Malta is cheaper than Portugal.

It's interesting to see "travelers" used in a different context. I saw a perfume display "for travellers" in an airport in Rome. The word has a different meaning in Ireland

Teacher 'wrote on child's forehead'

QuoteA PRIMARY school child was 'humiliated' in front of 'laughing classmates' after a teacher wrote on their forehead with a marker, it has been claimed.

An investigation has been launched into the incident which occured at St Lawrence's PS, Fintona.

The UlsterHerald has been told by a 'concerned parent' that the pupil was left in tears.

They claim that a teacher wrote the word 'capital' on the child's forehead with a marker after they 'struggled to grasp the concept of capital letters'.

St. Lawrence's is my old Primary School. My reaction to hearing about this lies somewhere between disturbing and disgusted - if true, the teacher needs to be named after they're sacked.   >:(

This is absolutely true, the teacher is female with a history of outbursts. she also reportedly slapped the mother of said pupil when confronted by her.

The Krispy Kreme outlet in Blanchardstown is the company's best performing branch in the world with income of almost €300,000 a week!

It won't make as much next year as they've had to close it during the night owing to bolloxes blowing horns.
On a related topic I have never seen as many people about as I have in the last few months. Properly obese people. I could do with shifting a stone myself but how the f**k do people get into this shape at such a young age?!

14 and 15 year olds will eat what they want. And if they get pocket money they will get what they want. Bad parenting won't help but that's not the reason. If you want to control your teenagers try living in North Korea

Completely incorrect there seafoid, Malta is significantly more expensive than Portugal
Thanks. I thought that was the reason they moved. Maybe the Maltese Govt gave them some sweeteners
Brexit will really hammer them if it goes ahead
Malta is one big slush fund of dirty Mafia & Russian criminal money. Incentives.

Entitled to your view but ensuring your kids are still alive at the end of the difficult teenage years is enough for most parents, especially if brought up in the city.

Why can we not pronouce Bury the way it is spelt?
Why cant Bury bounce back like Rangers?
Why does Dundee have two teams?

The parents are idiots and, as stated, there are mental health issues. Was this malicious or just ignorant though?

You think prison is warranted?

If so, where would you draw the line?

What about a kid who gets diabetes from drinking Fanta and eating cake all the time? Or an unvaccinated kid suffering severe complications from measles?

Hmm yeah it seems the judge did accept the depression did affect her culpability but the post natal depression wasn't accepted by the prosecution.
IMO there was two people involved and they werent ignorant, they were blinded by ideology and enforced it on their child....

Jail would be warranted especially with the persistence of it when there was obviously something wrong with child in terms of growth and developmentally, as I understand it the child hadnt been taken for checkups either.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/12/coffee-spill-caused-passenger-plane-turn-around-midway-atlantic

A flight crew's reluctance to use cup holders in the cockpit caused a passenger plane to be turned around midway across the Atlantic after coffee was spilled over the aircraft's radio controls, a report has found.

A 49-year-old pilot was taking 326 passengers from Frankfurt in Germany to Cancun in Mexico on February 6 this year.

At 4.20pm, when the aircraft was west of Ireland over the North Atlantic Ocean, the pilot put his coffee on a tray table as he carried out checks.

The Air Accident Investigations Branch (AAIB) stated in its report that crew did not like using the holders supplied because the cups were too small, making it difficult to get them in or out.

As a result, the cup, containing the hot beverage, was knocked into the pilot's lap and some liquid splashed onto the control panel.

It immediately caused the public address announcements system to fail, but 40 minutes later the unit became very hot and a burning electrical smell started to fill the cockpit.

An hour after the initial spillage, the unit had failed and became so hot that one of the buttons melted, but by this stage the flight was almost half way across the Atlantic.

The pilot, with more than 13,000 hours of experience, decided he had to turn around and diverted to Shannon in the Republic of Ireland.

It landed in Ireland without further incident and the fumes and smoke had not caused any harm.

Over the top PC?

Dont know the answer - but is it seen as disrespectful/racist if someone dresses up and puts make up on depicting them as white?

I went to a Halloween party in a very popular nite club in Belfast with my long time best friend (who's black) with darkening makeup on. There was no offence made at the time or ever brought up since. It was around 93/94 though and in looking back now I was probably wrong, but feck he help put the stuff on ffs!

Just my opinion but I personally think this is over the top nonsense. Its a fancy dress party FFS. You are trying to look like someone you are not. I actually think its damaging and the furore people make over it only increases tension.

Yeah I'd agree with that.
I've done it. I know plenty who have dressed up as women for Fancy dress...is that sexist? Or is comedic?

The problem is that I dont think that is the case. Things like this always seem to attract way more attention from the media than they ever should. I know its generally the tabloids but still.

Folks, I would have once thought the same as yourselves. Go out and educate yourselves on the subject, there is plenty of info out there. It is completely different from dressing up as a woman, or as someone said putting makeup on to be white. Blackface has a long documented history of being used as a way to systematically humiliate and denigrate different ethnic minorities, particularly black people in the USA. Try to see it from their POV when looking at an incident like this. I am not trying to preach to anyone, as like I said I once thought the very same, and I accept that a lot of these incidents did not have racist intentions at their heart. However if calling them out and publicizing them helps to educate people about the sensitivities of different cultures and people, then that can only be a good thing. Irish people should be more understanding than most given our history and experience of discrimination.

Shock horror opposition politician making a meal out of it. Look, its no surprise that this was publicized as in this day and age its extremely newsworthy, but I think Trudeau has responded in the correct way.

And I was specifically posting in response to people seeing it as no big deal regardless of when it happened, or comparing to other forms of dressing up. There is a clear difference, and all the info on why that is, is out there.

Here's a bing search for 19th century blackface images.  Scroll down and have a look at how blackface was used to portray black people (obviously this continued into the twentieth century). This went, at the time, hand in hand with the KKK being an immense political force, violence, lynchings, and other attempts to stop blacks from voting, and science departments in universities like Yale having Eugenics scientists publishing on how black people were actually a different species. Literally subhuman.  The imagery helped establish this idea in the public consciousness.

Taken outside of historical context, would there be anything wrong with using makeup to pretend you're a different race? No, but once you have that social context, things look very different.

Well if they issued 37,000 billion at this interest rate they'd clear the national debt.

US man drowns while proposing marriage to his girlfriend in Tanzania

Underwater proposal gone tragically wrong was recorded and posted to Facebook

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/22/us-man-drowns-while-proposing-marriage-to-his-girlfriend-in-tanzania (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/22/us-man-drowns-while-proposing-marriage-to-his-girlfriend-in-tanzania)

A woman has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her boyfriend, who drowned while proposing marriage to her in Tanzania.
Kenesha Antoine posted a video on Facebook of her boyfriend, Steven Weber, swimming up to the window of their underwater room at the Manta Resort on Pemba Island, off Tanzania.
"I can't hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. But everything I love about you I love more every day!" the note reads.
In the video, the Louisiana man flips the page to show the message "Will you marry me?" before pulling out an engagement ring box.

Antoine posted on Facebook that Weber "never emerged from those depths".

"You never got to hear my answer, 'Yes! Yes! A million times, yes'. We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest (sic) twist of fate imaginable.

In a similar vein Bernardo Silva has got himself in trouble for a tweet. While it clearly was not intended to be racist and Mendy took it in the humour for which it was intended Silva is getting a lot of heat on this. Again, i think this reaction is over the top, it was two mates mucking about. The two guys are clearly close friends and  just demonstrates that Silva never even thought for a minute that it would be construed as racist. Castigating him as a racist is just nonsense in my opinion. Even the headline is over the top. Naive or ill advised, possibly, offensive No.

I have mixed feelings over this one. Now that the fiancée is left with the memory of the lover boy who went beyond the boundaries of life to lay down his life when professing his love her, she will now have to live out the rest of her life with some man who will never ever measure up to that fatalistic underwater lover boy. This story is a cross between a  Darwin award winner and a Joycian  "The Dead" award of 2019. Perhaps they are worthy winners of both awards.

Just wondering what has changed for these incidents to occur?

Surely the Universities need to do more in terms of mental health awareness for students.  Combined, they should pool together and buy a property and fund for some sort of  crisis councillor to be made available or something. 
Has any of the southern colleges similar?

I work in QUB and spoke to someone about these incidents this morning. It seems there were issues outside of Uni involved here, it seems there were no issues regarding drink/drugs being involved, it also seems coursework/ studies etc weren't issues either. The Uni involved (not QUB) had no inkling. Still very sad though

Pot-laced human poop getting dogs high in Aspen

QuoteDogs in the Roaring Fork Valley have found another way to get stoned other than the boring break-in of edibles at home: They are eating human feces tainted with marijuana.

Dr. Scott Dolginow, who owns Valley Emergency Pet Care in Basalt, said he is seeing anywhere between three and 10 dogs a week that come in with marijuana toxicity.

His working theory is that these dogs are eating human feces that have enough THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in it to carry over for a second high. And they are finding these piles of pot-laced poop on trails and in campgrounds.

"Seventy to 80% of people say they have no idea where their dogs got it, but they say they were out on a trail or camping," he said. "I can't believe that the owners are lying."

At least it was 50 years ago.

The whack jobs are still at this shit in the States. There is currently a political movement in Orlando to ban "conversion therapy"; the reason its gone local in Florida is because of the GOP control on the state means attempts at statewide bans have failed.

This is from 2010 but it's still pretty shocking

"Former manager Michael 'Babs' Keating has written off Tipperary's All-Ireland prospects° for the 2010 season and launched another blistering attack on the current players, many of whom he managed prior to Liam Sheedy's appointment.
"If Tipp are to come through, they could have to meet Waterford, Galway and Kilkenny along the way," said Keating yesterday. "I don't think the players that have failed Tipperary over the last number of years will relish meeting them all and beating them all. Having to face a couple of them will make life very tough for Tipperary. "Denis Walsh has a history of winning All-Irelands – he has that advantage over Liam Sheedy.""

Apparently she's not a nurse after all and that's a case of mistaken ID. The hotel have basically washed their hands clean of it and more or less said 'sure what could we do?'.  I understand that there is a limit to what they can do but there has been serious damage done to their reputation so they should have at least come out and been a bit more forthright in their condemnation. The funny thing is they may lose business on the one ha d but gain just as much on the other and the shitty wheel keeps turning!

They'll not lose buisness at all, its a cheap wedding set up, which does everything in house, wedding service, food and entertainment for a very resonable price. Its in Carrickfergus and will generally bring in SE Antrim estate people. As you say it might bring up sales. I don't think the hotel is at fault, the singing was from the crowed unless there is actually a single with those words and was supplied by the hotel...

I understand they didn't want to overly interfere, however if I was down there for a pint and started singing wolfetones songs or the like they wouldn't be long putting me out. I know it's awkward when it's a whole crowd but they should at least have made a shape of warning them.

The most popular newspaper in the 26 is the Irish Independent, followed by the Irish Times.

Granted but you obviously  have to add the readership of The Star. Both combined far outsell the Independent or Times.  Sad reflection on ROI.  At least Liverpool got rid of the Scum Sun.

These publications are not to my taste. However,the Irush editions have quite a different editorial line from their English versions. A fair amount if the celebrity shite about Colleen Rooney will be the same, plus a few pictures of the typhoon in Japan, but there is Irush content too.

Victory celebrations on the backs of lorries have been taking place in every County for years. Like pitch invasions they have always had the potential for accidents causing injury or worse. Why have the G.A.A. not taken action to try and prevent this, as they have done with pitch invasions in Croke Park? Are insurance premiums for Croke Park a greater concern than the safety of G.A.A. members?

I agree, someone or several people approved this. They should be looking for new employment tomorrow.
This is not some snowflake PC crap, which I wouldn't agree with, 1.1 million people died in Auschwitz.

Edit:it seems this sign were not at all official and the management reported the incident to Gardai and removed the sign immediately. Likely the culprit was a Nazi, then.

What might have been....Probably teh best striker in the world right now.

At 31, Lewandowski is probably unlikely to catch either Messi or Ronaldo but his goalscoring statistics, particularly at an age when some players are past their best, are hugely impressive. But Lewandowski's career could have taken a very different trajectory if not for a volcano preventing him from joining Blackburn from Polish side Lech Poznanback in April 2010. The eruption of an Icelandic volcano nine years ago and the ash cloud that it created resulted in his flight to England's north-west being cancelled. "I couldn't go because of the cloud. It was the volcano. The volcano with the ash cloud," Lewandowski, who eventually signed for Borussia Dortmund in June 2010, told the Times.

"It was one week and nobody could fly in Europe. The flight was booked, but we couldn't leave. It changed my life. If I had gone to Blackburn maybe I would have stayed there."

He's not charged,  he's arrested on suspicion of murder. He would never be found guilty of murder but normally arrest on the highest charge and then work back from there. To be honest but call me a cynic but this is a very 'convenient' story for the Government.

Not good.
Just curious but why is he charged with murder?

He's not charged,  he's arrested on suspicion of murder. He would never be found guilty of murder but normally arrest on the highest charge and then work back from there. To be honest but call me a cynic but this is a very 'convenient' story for the Government.

+1   Johnson will probably point to this tragedy as an example why Brexit needs to get done!

Terrible tragedy.
Lorry travelled from Bulgaria to England via Dublin & Holyhead? No checks along the way or did they board somewhere along the way?
The container entered the UK from Belgium. The lorry came across from Holyhead

So he possibly had just collected the trailer and had no idea what was inside?
Would the container have come across by boat?

His name is being widely circulated on news channels which seems premature given the fact that he has not been charged. We don't even know what his part was in a likely case of human trafficking or if indeed he was even aware of what was in the back of the trailer. I severely doubt if a lone haulier was behind this exploitation of 39 people for profit in what is an horrendous loss of life.

Terrible tragedy and obviously the young man shouldn't have been named, he is after all entitled to the presumption of innocence, however people trying to make a political point, especially those in the public eye, really do need to think before they post inflammatory material.

The tragedy of 39 persons being killed in a lorry in Essex is terrible. It is now confirmed that the Bulgarian Registered lorry is owned by a person in the Republic of Ireland and, although the driver comes from NI, he may well have opted for RoI Passport to ease travel via EU!

John Taylor is another bitter former unionist leader. Those comments say more about him and his anti Irishness than anything. Whilst his comments even make a lot of sense, it appears that he is trying to make a political point out of a terrible human tragedy.

I understand the arguments for not naming him but I can see and agree with the reasons for naming him as well. Over here we can't name until they've appeared in court once so it's a bit earlier. Like BCB I can't understand the murder suggestion. Also it was reported earlier in a few reputable places he had been charged with murder which baffles me. A murder charge requires an intention to kill or cause serious bodily injury. Police have to know this. I would like to know how they would have reasonable suspicion of that.

From the sounds of things so far, Robinson picked up the trailer and was pulled over shortly after.

Unless they establish some other connection or involvement, it doesn't sound like he could have had anything to do with it.

What has happened to innocent to proven guilty. Public and media are all too keen these days to be judge, jury and executor. The trailer came in off a boat from the continent and he had driven down from Holyhead to collect it. Any trailer or container shipped like across countries would have been fitted with seals. The driver would never know what is in the back of the trailer other than what is written on the paperwork and wouldn't be allowed to break the seals to open the doors until it gets to its destination. Let the relevant authorities carry out their investigations.

Not forgetting those poor people in the back - RIP. Doesn't bear to think about what they went through or what they were escaping from than made them so desperate to do this. As for the sick baxtards that took money off these people and put them into an airtight fridge container knowing they would have no chance - I hope they get all that is coming to them. A jail sentence is too good for them.

The authorities who made the discovery was the Ambulance service. It is unclear who called them.
Few questions. Why was the lorry stopped where it was? Why would you stop there and open the back doors? 15 mins from the port? Surely that's not the destination in the middle of a road? You wouldn't normally open the doors until you'd reached the destination. These questions all point to one thing. I heard on the radio this morning that people who work in the industrial estate have seen people jumping from the back of lorries in that area before.

If Robinson knows the truth I would hope he'd fess up so these people traffickers can face justice. This is mass murder.

My guess on it is that I think he has done this before.  I'd say the MO was that he would pick up the trailer like you said with the proper paperwork,  people paid along the way to let the truck through,  they would go to an agreed drop off point like an industrial estate and the 'passengers' would disembark and go on their way.  The lorry would then go to it's final destination. 

I think that when the driver got to the drop off point he realised the reality and that's when he called the ambulance services.  He should not have been named but i do not believe that he was a complete unwitting innocent in this either.

Talk is that the driver himself called the Ambulance etc.

On the second point, perhaps someone in the haulage industry could explain - maybe an alarm went off about the temperature or something? I was under the impression if it's a certain type of cargo you can't open it.

I'd say Mo knows the score. Ironic he probably drove around the country hoping everyone would see him and his lorry. Now he probably wishes know one knows who he is.
His Facebook page would've got some hits yesterday. Lesson there on privacy as well.

I have seen the above argument made for him but it does not stack up with him pulling into a Industrial estate 15 minutes away to open the trailer up.

Even *if* the lad did accept a few quid to collect the trailer at the docks and open it in the estate to let immigrants/asylum seekers out, it in no way makes him culpable for their deaths. That lies squarely with whoever locked them in the trailer with no means of survival or escape, accident or not.

If true, it would make him part of the people smuggling trade though so he would be partially culpable for their deaths imo

IF he was part of the set-up, then he bears some level of responsibility. Might be a minor portion of the overall blame and charges, but he can't claim innocence, especially if making money on it. How he fares, IF a part of the scam, will undoubtedly come down to how willing he is to talk.

The police have requested a further 24 hours to question. I assume that means it's not looking good for your man here. They would only be seeking that extension if they felt he was in some way more involved than merely being an unlucky haulier.

Yeah the rumour about him being released is strange.

One of the legal heads may know better then me but does the extra 24 hours granted go against him? Surely if his innocence was obvious he would be released in the required time frame.

Not always. In Northern Ireland the common practice would be for them not to be named until they had appeared in court. That said Paddy Jackson was named before hand and if I remember correctly unsuccessfully sued over it. I'd need to check that though.

In England the more common way is to name once charged but again it's not uncommon to name before this sometimes. I can see the argument both ways on naming and I am in favour of naming provided it doesn't lead to identification of victims etc.

What strikes me as odd is the number of people on newspaper forums who are criticising the naming in this case and criticising the not naming in other (mainly sex) cases.

I wouldn't read much into to be honest particularly in England and their very strict custody time frames. I am assuming and I stress assuming local police weren't expecting this and it wasn't intelligence lead so they are literally likely reinterviewing on a piecemeal basis as they get new info gathered.

What I mean is had this happened weeks ago and they were looking more time it would suggest to me something very different. Ie that they had soo much evidence to put that they needed more time to get it all out.

If the driver in question did know that he was to do what you had suggested or similar, in having knowledge that the container had a number of people inside it as part of a human trafficking operation, then there is a chance that he could be charged with murder or manslaughter on the basis of Joint Enterprise or Common Purpose.

I would agree on Manslaughter although the Supreme Court made a ruling on that last year called Jogee which might make that more difficult. I don't see how they will ever prove murder given they'd need to prove an intention to kill or cause serious harm.

As I say I think murder would be impossible to prove in these circumstances but the timing of their death maybe immaterial to a manslaughter conviction. Joint enterprise would only require people to have been involved in the trafficking and had enough knowledge of it. So say (and I stress this is a completely hypothetical situation and not what I am suggesting or speculating happened) there were three people involved in the trafficking. One who organised it, one who took the money off the people and hid them in the container and a third who knew what was in the container and agreed to pick it up and deliver it somewhere, all three would be guilty on a joint enterprise basis provided all three had sufficient knowledge of what was happening.

Firstly I want to acknowledge that 39 men and women died in tragic circumstances. what a cruel death they suffered.

As a lorry driver who hauls temperature controlled goods on fridges between Ireland and the UK, and drops off
and collects refrigerated trailers at ports between Ireland and the UK I have a bit of knowledge of the way things work.

To collect a trailer at the port you must produce a reference number supplied from your company and show ID.
Your details are entered into the computer and you are given an exit pass. You go collect the trailer, and do your checks.
Paperwork is usually in an external compartment and you retrieve that. You check on the temperature of the fridge (if it is
a chilled load you are collecting), and if the trailer isn't sealed, you open the doors and check inside if the load is stable. If the doors are sealed, you do not break the seal and open the doors, especially if it is a temperature controlled load. When you have done these checks, you hook up and go. At security on way out, they check your pass. They check the trailer number and reference  against their records, and if correct, they let you go. (There are usually camera recording you and your movements when enter and exit at the security checks). You then either go on to deliver the load, or bring it back to the yard.

Looking at what has happened in Essex I can only go this much. 

The driver left Ireland solo (without a trailer) and arrived in Holyhead on Sunday. He then travelled down to Essex and on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning he went into the docks and collected a trailer. He would have to have shown his ID and produced a reference number. Given that the ship had docked shortly before he would have been aware what time the trailer was ready for collection. He then hooked up and would then have had to show his exit pass on the way out that corresponded with the trailer.

Where  the load was for, we don't know. What we do know is that he only drove a couple of miles into an Industrial Estate,  stopped and got out of the truck and then opened the doors. There was a load in the trailer, of which we don't know, and the bodies of 39 men and women, lifeless. A call was made by someone to the ambulance service, and it was they that they called called the police. A few hours later the driver was arrested on suspicion of murder, and has been held since, with the police been given another 48 hours to question him.

The police will go through tracking devices on the truck and trailer, ANPR cameras will track all the trucks movements on the
roads in the UK to determine when and where it went, and shipping records will show the trailer movements. Authorities on the Belgium side will be able to identify the truck who delivered the trailer into the docks for shipping, and the driver. Again, their movements will be easy to track. The drivers phone / phones will be dissected. Temperature details of the trailer will be easily available. Paperwork will be investigated. CCTV from routes along the way will be poured over. Any evidence gathered from searches of both his and his parents homes, along with another house  will be thoroughly examined. 

My best guess is this. He went in and picked up the trailer and noticed something was wrong with the fridge temperature wise.
either the fridge was switched off or had run out of diesel, or the temperature was set too low. He pulled out and maybe made a phone call to someone, and then pulled into a quiet spot to check on the trailer. From the images I have seen it appears he stopped in a hurry. He's got out to check on the load and discovered the worst. If the load was sealed, why did he break the seal. And if the load wasn't sealed, then why did he not open the doors in the docks when he collected the trailer?

Fridges run at temperatures from -30 to +30 depending on the load. Lets say the fridge was set for +15, then that's a supply of fresh air at that temperature as long as the fridge is running. On the ferry, if the fridge is loaded on an open deck the fridge is powered by it's own engine, or by an electric plug in the bottom decks. Either way, fresh air is going through the trailer at a certain temperature. If the fridge is stopped, then it is a sealed box with no fresh air getting in.

As things stand, it's not looking good for the driver who has been named and has had his photos plastered everywhere, something which is wrong. And why has nobody in the media identified who owned the lorry?

While debate and questions will go on, 39 men and women died a horrible death

People took money of them and  put them in a trailer and shipped them to the UK.

People in the UK knew the trailer was arriving and arranged transport.

Let's hope as many people involved at any level in this go to jail for a very long time.

It wouldn't be normal practice for a tractor unit to head off from Ireland to England without a load on behind... would it, surly to make these trips economically viable the unit needs to always be pulling a trailer loaded with something.

It is extremely rare that a lorry would travel out on a boat and drive that distance to wait a couple of days to collect a trailer.  The rates for haulage are bad enough and it makes no sense doing it

Jack Straw was on the radio yesterday and he said the Chinese found suffocated in the early 2000s had labels removed from clothing, all ID and belongings removed so there were no identifying features. A detective noticed different coloured stitching on a dead man's belt and when they looked further there was ID sewn into the belt. There were also 2 survivors but not sure they offered too much for fear of reprisals back home.

39 people are dead.  I'd like to think the police would be taking all the time they can to talk to the driver of the lorry that picked the trailer up whether he's involved or not.


And if I was said lorry driver I'd be more than willing to camp out in a police station and help them.  So all this #justiceformo business is a bit weird to me.  Do people not want him to help the police?

Very interesting summary on the mechanics of the whole process from give her dixie.

Not sure if these questions have been confirmed but I'd be asking the following:

Was the trailer sealed? I imagine it was because if not it doesn't look good for the driver not checking his load at the port.
Where was the final destination of the load? If it wasn't at the industrial estate at where he stopped, then why did the driver stop to check it? And if it was sealed then why break the seal unless he knew something was potentially wrong inside the trailer?   

The fact that he effectively spent 3 full days travelling with no trailer(?) simply to pick up a load in south east England doesn't make much sense financially unless he was being paid way over the odds for one drop. If that was the case then the driver would surely know that it may contain something illegal inside the container. I think he will need a good explanation to be acquitted of any wrong doing. However he did not put these people into the container in which they died so a murder charge against the driver seems wrong. In all probability they were already dead by the time he hooked the trailer on.

Harrowing text messages sent from one of the suspected victims sent from inside the container. Sent just 2 hours before the trailer arrived at the port in Purfleet so some of the people were still alive at that point.

First off, if Alan Mannus wants to be a **** he is well within his rights. We have seen previously he lacks class so no surprise here with his behaviour - just confirmation of the type of person he is. Just baffled what exactly has the Irish flag and anthem done to annoy him so much? Last time I check Ireland didn't invade/pillage/colonise/partition/occupy any part of Britain?

Now James Mcclean, and the west Brits don't seem to understand this, comes from a part of Ireland still under British occupation. So he does to a certain extent have some grievance with the English national anthem and Union Jack. While I personally would not have did what he did I certainly don't condemn him and it's quite a different scenario to Alan Annus

Kevin Hyland served as the UK's first Independent Anti-Slavery commissioner from 2014 to 2018. For 30 years a member of the Metropolitan Police Force, Kevin now lives in Limerick and is the Irish representative to the Council of Europe Independent Group of Experts for Trafficking.

He says that last year alone saw 64 confirmed cases of modern slavery in Ireland, including 27 cases of sexual exploitation, 35 cases of forced labour, 2 cases of forced criminality and 4 cases involving children. And these numbers are a significant underestimation of the true extent of this abuse in Ireland.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/proposal-to-allow-rural-drivers-to-drink-and-drive-is-irresponsible-nonsense-38692397.html

A call by Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae to allow rural drivers a permit to drink alcohol have been dismissed as "dangerous nonsense".
Mr Healy-Rae has again made controversial comments about drink-driving, telling the Dail the closure of pubs is killing rural areas.
He has previously called for drink-driving permits to be given out in rural areas.
"They have closed down pubs in rural Kerry and have left the social fabric in smithereens," he said.

"The Irish pub has been known all around the world as a place of culture, traditional music, song and dance, storytelling, a place where families and workers meet.
"Many cities around the world have tried to replicate the Irish country pub. Now, people around Kerry are afraid to leave their homes to go into pubs, like rabbits trapped in a burrow."
Speaking at Leader's Questions, Mr Healy-Rae said he was calling for a permit system to allow people to have two or three drinks and then drive.
"I'm asking you to provide a permit for the people who are only travelling on rural roads so they can have their two pints and drive home.
"Give them a chance to live and give them a chance to try it. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Tanaiste Simon Coveney rejected the suggestion and said people cannot be encouraged to drink and drive no matter where they live.
"You seem to be saying that the way to keep pubs open is to allow people to drink and drive. That is not only irresponsible, but I think it is an insult to so many families who continue to mourn the deaths of people who've been killed by people drinking and driving," he said.
"In terms of trying to return to some kind of old Ireland that was better because people could get into their cars regardless of whether they've been drinking or not, and regardless of whether they represented danger on the road, is just blatant, irresponsible nonsense, quite frankly."
Mr Coveney said the plan would not work and would not help to revive rural Ireland.
He said the Government's national broadband plan and a rural bus service will help tackle rural isolation.

He's half-right. The drink driving limit in the Republic is 50mg/100ml blood. The drink driving limit in Northern Ireland is 80mg/100ml blood.  The roads in the south are no more safer than those in the north.

This is bound to become a problem in the future.
Thought this quote was quite revealing:

Detransitioning is a controversial topic. Christopher Inglefield, who specialises in transgender surgery, explained why parts of the trans community might be "very nervous" about detransitioning becoming a prominent story.
"Any reversal of that transition starts to make society question the whole transition process in the first place," he said.
And this could lead to people questioning the funding and support for much needed gender services.


Hard to square the notion that detransitioning is controversial, while transitioning is accepted as non-controversial.

I remember us all being shocked in school hearing the story of the castrati, the young singers who had their tackle removed before their voices could break at puberty.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce.

these protests were not organized or supported by any of the farmer organizations. there is something suspicious about this.
i suspect the same small group who are going around stoking up trouble around refugees are behind this. they were the same people behind the various anti bank protests at evictions and they were also involved in various disturbances at courts back during the height of the recession.
i think they originated during the crash and since then have looked for anything to latch onto where they think they can disrupt the state basically.
they have been at this on their own behalf for years with no success so now they have changed tactic.
they will latch onto some issue where reasonable people have a ressonalble complaint, (beef prices, lack of consultation around direct provision sites) and attempt to radicalize the more hot headed members of the protest.
if it results in splitting a group all the better, they had limited success with the refugee issue because the people concerned were few in number and basically not particularly radical or angry they just wanted  more consultation and at the end of the day full blooded racists are actually pretty thin on the ground in Ireland.
disenfranchised farmers are another matter though, there are a lot of them, they are used to mobilizing in an organized way and they feel very marginalized with a nothing to lose attitude.
the IFA etc have to act to get this under control, they need to go and talk to all these guys and get them back into the fold before they are used for more nefarious purposes

'Laziness has won': apostrophe society admits its defeat

A society dedicated to preserving the "much-abused" apostrophe is to be shut down as its chairman said "ignorance and laziness" had won. John Richards, who worked in journalism for much of his career, started the Apostrophe Protection Society in 2001 after he retired. Now 96, Richards is calling time on the society, which lists the three simple rules for correct use of the punctuation mark.

Writing on the society's website, he said: "Fewer organisations and individuals are now caring about the correct use of the apostrophe in the English language. "We, and our many supporters worldwide, have done our best but the ignorance and laziness present in modern times have won!" Richards started the society after seeing the "same mistakes over and over again" and hoped he would find half a dozen people who felt the same way. He said: "I didn't find half a dozen people. "Instead, within a month of my plaint appearing in a national newspaper, I received over 500 letters of support, not only from all corners of the United Kingdom, but also from America, Australia, France, Sweden, Hong Kong and Canada."

This doesn't deserve a response but I will, camly.
Non vaccinated people, children or adults, weakens what is known as herd immunity and puts infant children who are not old enough to be vaccinated most at risk. So blanket vaccination is more socialism than facism.

The others you list were big state authoritarians. Big State authoritarianism is the common denominator between socialism and fascism. Two cheeks of the same arse.

Yep, some on that list had supported socialist-based political parties before going down the fascist route. And? Winston Churchill was once a Liberal MP, you know? Quite a few politicians of all hues have jumped across different political parties & philosophies during their lives.
Churchill was a Tory before he was ever a Liberal MP. And there was never much of an ideological difference between the old Liberals and the Tories.
Quote
And don't tell me you're going to try the trick of claiming the Nazis were left wing? 😂 Any vestige of leftism in them was wiped out after the Night of Long Knives along with its faction figurehead Gregor Strasser. Oh, they were socialists because they had "socialist" in their party name? I guess the old German Democratic Republic had a democratic system rivalling that to countries to the west of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, or that Penguin biscuits contain real penguin meat in them, or that a you could get yourself a couple of million dollars if you co-operate with that Nigerian Prince whom sent you that unsanctioned e-mail?
Hitler's 25-point Program of the NSDAP formed the basis of the Nazi agenda pre- and post-1934 and was riddled with socialist tropes that were pretty much indistinguishable from any other socialist regime agenda. These were never jettisoned. 
Quote
Also, while Griffin has nowhere near the political profile he had a decade ago, Yaxley-Lennon, or Tommy Robinson or whatever he's presently calling himself, is most certainly relevant in terms of western political discourse in 2019 alongside fellow travellers like Tomi Lahren, Marie LePen, Katie Hopkins (whose 15 minutes are thankfully almost up), Gemma O'Donnell etc. You don't have to be a politician of any effective elected role to hugely shape its trajectory - Nigel Farage has pretty much been able to do this for years without ever stepping foot in the House of Commons, same goes for a lot of owners of mass media outlets across the political spectrum. It's a love of wanting power without the burden of responsibility.
Yaxley-Lennon would lose his deposit in any constituency in the land were he foolish enough to stand on Thursday. He's a nobody. Gemma O'Donnell is so much of a nobody that a lot of people get her name wrong.

But why are they going to appeal  it? there was other evidence thrown out, the judge refused point blank to entertain it. The video evidence is damaging so she really is doing an injustice to other that are raped, that is if its true it 'party' was above board

What happened?it was my understanding that she had consensual sex with 2 guys then a gang of lads wanted to join in and they either did or did not rape her. Is that not accurate? Then the police questioned her without a lawyer, put her under pressure and she said it was not true?

Not to defend the inexcusable in that piece but pigs are notorious for their cannibalism. It's fairly common for sows to consume their young as they're birthing them. Most sows are farrowed in crates that prevent them from doing it but left to their own devices some sows will consume a large portion of their litter.

Likewise adult pigs housed together have a ferocious blood lust. Even a small wound can very quickly be opened up to the gaping holes seen in that video. I've seen pigs lose half their face to the others in the group from quite small cuts to their face. Pigs teeth are all clipped at birth to try and prevent them developing a habit for wounding each other but it doesn't fully negate their nature.

Whatever about Pigs cannibalistic nature, as someone who farms, keeping animals alive in that condition and not euthanising them is way beyond what is acceptable. That farmer shouldn't be allowed to keep so much as a pet fish. Disgraceful.

You soon will have to go into work put earphones in, speak to no one  - not about kids in case you offend those with no kids, not about your partner to avoid hurting the self-partnered, not about TV or sport, avoid all eye contact in case you are accused of sexual harassment - wear a uniform in case anything about your person offends some snowflake, eat in the toilet in case you have meat that offends some vegan, oh and these will be communal toilets for the LGBTQ, park your car miles away in case someone is offended you are destroying the planet - how the fcuk did society get here.

People need to tell people like Oprah Winfrey, feminists, snowflakes and Hollywood actors to go get fucked. Ordinary people are too easily controlled by these bell-ends, telling us we can't say this or do that.

On the other hand, you can't help but laugh at people who get their knickers in a twist and throw around the "snowflake" label when society finally starts to call them out on their casual sexist, homophobic and racist statements and views.

On the specifics of the article, the woman doesn't call for an outright ban on sports talk, at least according to the article. As a management consultant, I can see how she would advise companies of the value of being careful to avoid allowing team members to become excluded. In one instance it might be sports talk. In another, it might be a female-dominated team where something else dominates the conversation.

Such behaviour isn't confined to women or minorities, they just have the monopoly on the I am offended and HR having a panic attack, no one gives a flying one if a white hetrosexual male in the workplace is offended, probably let alone the white hetrosexual male to be fair.  My point is it is not about minding ps and qs its about guessing if r's or u's will cause offensive, society is shit scared to offend now especially in the workplace but many many people want to be offended so the cotton wool and tip toeing about is becoming insane.

Given that white, heterosexual males as a group have never been the subject of repression for being part of that group, it's hardly an endorsement of their endurance or stoicism that society doesn't concern itself with their non-existant persecution or victimhood. The only people you hear bleating about white, heterosexual males are those who are pissed off that their jokes or (worse) views on women or homosexuals or minorities have lately and correctly been deemed beyond the pale. If you don't want a HR case to deal with, then don't create one. I'm pretty sure you can manage to get through your workday without making off-colour jokes or remarks about gay people or minorities or wolf-whistling at the young one with the nice arse.

It's not even about white men or straight people anymore causing offence.

You can't have viewpoints anymore, if you do you offend someone, you can't have a political view, a religious view, a moral view, a view on climate change, you either conform to this nonsense being portrayed as society now or you are, as you put it a bigot in someway.

Saw one at the weekend.  Was in the MOT centre and asked the guy what the story was.  Were the lifts in bad shape or was it some H&S gombeen making a name for themselves?  He walked me over and showed me one.  It's not a storm in a teacup.  If they're all like this one then they're fcuked.  I wouldn't stand under them anyway.

Saw one at the weekend.  Was in the MOT centre and asked the guy what the story was.  Were the lifts in bad shape or was it some H&S gombeen making a name for themselves?  He walked me over and showed me one.  It's not a storm in a teacup.  If they're all like this one then they're fcuked.  I wouldn't stand under them anyway.

They can't be that old some of them, so it must be a design flaw or not fit for purpose.

One of 3 things could have caused the damage I saw;

- Poor design
- Inadequate greasing of pivot joints resulting in excess stresses
- Poor quality steel used in construction of legs

How many years have these things been operating?

As for the inadequate greasing that's a maintenance issues, so whoever was employed to service the things was at fault, if that was the case.
If there was cracks in the steel then poor quality or allowing them to rust in parts would certainly be a big factor.

A client of mine works at one of the centres, I must ask him when he's in again

That may be bit they're supposed to be checked every 6 months and I'd very much doubt the structural of almost all of them has deteriorated in the last 6 months. Poor maintenance and no/falsified inspection records will be at the bottom of this.

Looks pretty open and shut based on that report.

But yes, a smaller employer would have less resources in terms of hiring decent lawyers, although on the other hand yer one's lawyers might not be so motivated to pursue a frivolous case against a smaller company with less cash to win.

Sorry rich, fake tanned, camp TV celeb is gay and you think that is WTF - be more WTF if any of them were straight.

Is the WTF not that he's been married for 27 years and finally come out.

Why does he have to, who the fcuk cares,  it's no ones business but his and the families though will detract from the bulling allegations levied against him.

Use a bit of wit. If you only comment on things that directly effect you the board would be a quiet affair. You don't decide other peoples opinions.

When he is on TV talking about it, does it not become everyone's business in that it warrants conversation?

Point is only an egotistical celeb thinks anyone gives a fcuk, although it's clear a lot of muppets soak this sort of thing up!

No, don't think anyone would care much about being gay but being married for 27 years then coming out is a bit WTF in fairness

Yeah, nobody has said anything about the missus (or kids).

I mean, yes he's got if off his shoulders, been true to who/what he is, but what about the woman he's been married to for 27 years. What about her? Her marriage is over, family broke up, husband basically living a lie, and the marriage all a sham if he's known he was gay all this time. I'm sure the woman is distraught if it was a sudden outing from him.

Agree, can't understand all the sympathy for him. Essentially a liar and lacked the balls to come out initially. All this incredibly brave talk now sickens me. Generation bambi. A gay man can do no wrong. I wonder will that gobda of a David Walliams come out too.

Maybe he "lacked the balls" because the fucked-up, bigoted attitudes towards homosexuality in his younger years resulted in him repressing and denying his sexuality and pursuing and committing to a "respectable" live as a straight man.

How old would he have been when homosexuality was finally decriminalized in Ireland?

How long, had he lived in Ireland, since he could have adopted kids had he made peace with and lived as a gay man his whole life?

So that's a good reason to live a lie and potentially f**k up the lives of his wife and children. Your explanation of his lies are quite frankly shite talk.

Well that's told me!

I didn't say it was a "good reason". It's a f**king tragedy for them. He's acknowledged himself the awful toll on his family as he's come to terms with it and come out to them.

But only an idiot cannot acknowledge what a different world it was just a generation ago for gay men and the amount of them that went through life as Schofield has. In the past, almost none of them would have come out, ever.

How the f**k do you know what he has been through, how difficult it may have accepting it and then, after that, confessing to his wife and family?

There's a huge amount of people still out there struggling with this issue. Half the f**king Republican Party in America thinks homosexuality is evil and you can pray away the gay FFS.

I assume he was not gay when he married his wife and had kids. Maybe he was bisexual or not gay at all and changed later in life.

He was always a bit camp though going back to his days as a childrens tv presenter. Was he gay then?

There is gross hypocrisy here as in all matters gay. If he ran off with another woman he'd be a bollix, but if he runs off with a man then he is an inspiration to society, apparently.

1. "Who gives a shit"? Well not me personally, but plenty of people seem to. Otherwise gossip columns and magazines like "Heat" wouldn't exist.

2. If you read what he has written in public, he already has told his wife & daughters about it some time ago, as well as his own side of the family and his wife's. I'm presuming that he had their blessing to make a public statement.

3. If he had decided to keep his sexual identity out of the public eye but it had ended up being leaked out to some tabloid rag, said paper would have had a field day with the story. At least this way he's making it public on his own terms

He kept it out before the bullying allegations.

Maybe he "lacked the balls" because the fucked-up, bigoted attitudes towards homosexuality in his younger years resulted in him repressing and denying his sexuality and pursuing and committing to a "respectable" live as a straight man.

How old would he have been when homosexuality was finally decriminalized in Ireland?

How long, had he lived in Ireland, since he could have adopted kids had he made peace with and lived as a gay man his whole life?

Or maybe he loves the attention from the liberal elite, saw Ruth hugging him, bless bullying gone now, surely a gay man couldn't bully anyone.  ::)

Maybe he does like the attention. I don't really know anything about his personality.

What has that got to do with the often-repeated story of a repressed gay man from back then getting married?

As for the bullying, you're fond of the strawman argument, aren't you?

Why did he get married and ruin lifes. As for the false tears and the brave soul act Jesus wept complete selfish tool, but has buried the bullying allegations for the time being. Poor accusers will now have the homophobic card threw at them.

Shame, embarrassment, denial, self-delusion, a horribly prejudiced and oppressive society for gays.

As opposed to the masses who have made their mind up that's he is a brave soul. ::)

Maybe because he was ashamed and in denial and couldn't accept it. Maybe he was worried about disappointing his parents. Maybe he was trying, like so many others, to fit into the expectations of society. Maybe he thought he would feel differently and adapt to straight life. Plenty of others have stuck it through before him.

I've no idea why he did it. I didn't go through that kind of struggle. But I knew people who ended up killing themselves because they were gay men stuck in a conservative society and families who wouldn't or couldn't accept that their sons were homosexuals.

You like the term bitter, one of your go to phrases when folk aren't pandering to your opinions. I said in my opening gambit on this subject who gives a shit if hes gay, bi, tri or whatever but I did find it odd that celebs like Phil king of TV needs to have this huge back slapping public forum to tell of his bravery and courage when in effect hes a selfish individual lying to his wife for 27 years from day one he has said, and his coming out has kept the bullying allegations out of the media.

If you don't give a shit that he is gay, then what's with the repeated comments about him getting a boost in this bullying thing because of it?

Is there some evidence somewhere that this will happen or has typically happened? Has anyone suggested that the case is closed now and he should not have to answer because he is gay?

First if many, how long before the hidden boyfriend is wheeled out and poor Ruth slammed for accusing a gay man of anything.

You sound awfully bitter about what you perceive to be preferential and indulgent treatment of gay people.

You like the term bitter, one of your go to phrases when folk aren't pandering to your opinions. I said in my opening gambit on this subject who gives a shit if hes gay, bi, tri or whatever but I did find it odd that celebs like Phil king of TV needs to have this huge back slapping public forum to tell of his bravery and courage when in effect hes a selfish individual lying to his wife for 27 years from day one he has said, and his coming out has kept the bullying allegations out of the media.

And your go-to strategy when someone disagrees with you is to attack the person, not the argument.

If you don't give a shit that he is gay, then what's with the repeated comments about him getting a boost in this bullying thing because of it?

Is there some evidence somewhere that this will happen or has typically happened? Has anyone suggested that the case is closed now and he should not have to answer because he is gay?

Most of your post is drivel but to be 100% clear I don't care who's gay or who's not that's their business, why the theatrics of coming out, simply courting publicity and detracting from other issues. I really couldn't be arsed responding to the rest of your waffle, you clearly have too much time on your hands and a huge smattering of deluded self importance on a forum with at must 30 or 40 posters. But you keep saving the world. ;D

Most of it's drivel, but as usual you've nothing substantial to say about it beyond the ad hominem attacks. Quite ironic that you mock another poster for giving their opinion on our modest wee board when you've been here, what two weeks, and have waded in throwing personal insults around left, right and center.

And for someone who doesn't give a shit about people being gay, you might need to draft your posts a wee bit better, because something is getting lost in translation.

Why did he get married and ruin lifes. As for the false tears and the brave soul act Jesus wept complete selfish tool, but has buried the bullying allegations for the time being. Poor accusers will now have the homophobic card threw at them.

Maybe you simply can't read?

Just highlight in red there the support for Philip? I'm struggling to find it. Also I'm assuming you were preempting any posts of support given your meltdown started after the following post.

I would say he only told all on Friday as some of the tabloids were about to out him,maybe a Sunday Exclusive today.  Kevin Maguire from the mirror has said on twitter he new this while but they wouldn't out him. He wanted to win public opinion rather that been exposed as a cheat in some sleazy tabloid.

Missed this amidst the bile, I'd say that's it in a nutshell. Brave soul.

Schofield had done a runner so to speak and that runner was going to out him allegedly......

Thats the one.
Schofield started following McGreevy on Twitter when he was 15 which has raised a few eyebrows about when the relationship started allegedly.

The Scum got the scoop on Schofields interview yesterday - wonder what would have been the exclusive if Schofield didnt do the interview with them  ::)

And I haven't defended him specifically. I know little about him. I questioned how YOU could be so adamant that his hiding his homosexuality and trying to live a straight life for decades can be dismissed as mere selfishness when viewed in the context of long-term societal attitudes towards homosexuality.

AFM is right. Schofield is selfish and a total b-end.  He knew knew he was going to be outted for going with a wee lad so comes out with this soppy post about wanting people to be kind to him? fk clean off. Yet it was alright for him to know he was gay before he got married and have children and still proceed to lie and waste 27 years of his wifes life. But no, hes a hero for being so brave apparently. ::)

WTF are you talking about - seriously have you Dyslexia or something?

Talking about you getting very annoyed very quickly about a poster thinking Philip Schofield coming out as gay after 27 years is on the WTF thread. You seem to have concentration issues.

You are talking shite as per the norm, now get someone to give you a lesson on a: how to read and b: how to use this forum, there's a good boy.

You're that desperate for attention and to get into an on-line row that you try and manufacture it as you obviously have the patience of a 4 year old. And now you've realised that you look like a c*ck as you jumped the gun. Maybe time for a profile change again.

I think you will find J70 jumped in for the liberal elite to defend big brave Phil, I couldn't give a flying one about a wealthy celeb who always came across as gay coming out, you get back to reaching out to folk.   ;D

For most people who aren't craving attention, if they read something on the wtf thread and couldn't care less about it, they ignore it or skip past it. Just a thought.

So if you post on a public forum you are craving attention, are all your 1466 posts cry's for attention?

If your trying to police what someone else puts in a thread (Especially an opinion thread like this one) then it's either of the following,

A) An attempt to get into an on-line row
B) Self inflated ego
C)Craving attention

or all of the above.

You seriously are one deluded wee lad, in what world was I trying to police what someone else puts in a thread, by the way are all threads not opinion threads.  ::)  Your attention seeking posts are rising I see.  :)  I'll stick with my initial diagnosis of dyslexia - would tie in with recruitment and reaching out to anyone and everyone irrespective of their skills to secure the "finders" fee.

Tipping more towards A) now.  :D

Once again, what's the liberal elite?

And I haven't defended him specifically. I know little about him. I questioned how YOU could be so adamant that his hiding his homosexuality and trying to live a straight life for decades can be dismissed as mere selfishness when viewed in the context of long-term societal attitudes towards homosexuality.

The only one making definitive statements about Schofield is you.
AFM is right. Schofield is selfish and a total b-end.  He knew knew he was going to be outted for going with a wee lad so comes out with this soppy post about wanting people to be kind to him? fk clean off. Yet it was alright for him to know he was gay before he got married and have children and still proceed to lie and waste 27 years of his wifes life. But no, hes a hero for being so brave apparently. ::)

I've no reason to doubt that he got out ahead of a breaking story. It would be the smart and usual thing to do. Nor have I said he was brave.

Ultimately, yes, but DuPont has gone through so many mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs and divestments over the years that is difficult to follow what's what.

Just months before Rob Bilott made partner at Taft Stettinius & Hollister, he received a call on his direct line from a cattle farmer. The farmer, Wilbur Tennant of Parkersburg, W.Va., said that his cows were dying left and right. He believed that the DuPont chemical company, which until recently operated a site in Parkersburg that is more than 35 times the size of the Pentagon, was responsible. Tennant had tried to seek help locally, he said, but DuPont just about owned the entire town. He had been spurned not only by Parkersburg's lawyers but also by its politicians, journalists, doctors and veterinarians. The farmer was angry and spoke in a heavy Appalachian accent. Bilott struggled to make sense of everything he was saying. He might have hung up had Tennant not blurted out the name of Bilott's grandmother, Alma Holland White.

White had lived in Vienna, a northern suburb of Parkersburg, and as a child, Bilott often visited her in the summers. In 1973 she brought him to the cattle farm belonging to the Tennants' neighbors, the Grahams, with whom White was friendly. Bilott spent the weekend riding horses, milking cows and watching Secretariat win the Triple Crown on TV. He was 7 years old. The visit to the Grahams' farm was one of his happiest childhood memories.

When the Grahams heard in 1998 that Wilbur Tennant was looking for legal help, they remembered Bilott, White's grandson, who had grown up to become an environmental lawyer. They did not understand, however, that Bilott was not the right kind of environmental lawyer. He did not represent plaintiffs or private citizens. Like the other 200 lawyers at Taft, a firm founded in 1885 and tied historically to the family of President William Howard Taft, Bilott worked almost exclusively for large corporate clients. His specialty was defending chemical companies. Several times, Bilott had even worked on cases with DuPont lawyers. Nevertheless, as a favor to his grandmother, he agreed to meet the farmer. ''It just felt like the right thing to do,'' he says today. ''I felt a connection to those folks.''

The connection was not obvious at their first meeting. About a week after his phone call, Tennant drove from Parkersburg with his wife to Taft's headquarters in downtown Cincinnati. They hauled cardboard boxes containing videotapes, photographs and documents into the firm's glassed-in reception area on the 18th floor, where they sat in gray midcentury-modern couches beneath an oil portrait of one of Taft's founders. Tennant — burly and nearly six feet tall, wearing jeans, a plaid flannel shirt and a baseball cap — did not resemble a typical Taft client. ''He didn't show up at our offices looking like a bank vice president,'' says Thomas Terp, a partner who was Bilott's supervisor. ''Let's put it that way.''

Terp joined Bilott for the meeting. Wilbur Tennant explained that he and his four siblings had run the cattle farm since their father abandoned them as children. They had seven cows then. Over the decades they steadily acquired land and cattle, until 200 cows roamed more than 600 hilly acres. The property would have been even larger had his brother Jim and Jim's wife, Della, not sold 66 acres in the early '80s to DuPont. The company wanted to use the plot for a landfill for waste from its factory near Parkersburg, called Washington Works, where Jim was employed as a laborer. Jim and Della did not want to sell, but Jim had been in poor health for years, mysterious ailments that doctors couldn't diagnose, and they needed the money.

DuPont rechristened the plot Dry Run Landfill, named after the creek that ran through it. The same creek flowed down to a pasture where the Tennants grazed their cows. Not long after the sale, Wilbur told Bilott, the cattle began to act deranged. They had always been like pets to the Tennants. At the sight of a Tennant they would amble over, nuzzle and let themselves be milked. No longer. Now when they saw the farmers, they charged.

Wilbur fed a videotape into the VCR. The footage, shot on a camcorder, was grainy and intercut with static. Images jumped and repeated. The sound accelerated and slowed down. It had the quality of a horror movie. In the opening shot the camera pans across the creek. It takes in the surrounding forest, the white ash trees shedding their leaves and the rippling, shallow water, before pausing on what appears to be a snowbank at an elbow in the creek. The camera zooms in, revealing a mound of soapy froth.

''I've taken two dead deer and two dead cattle off this ripple,'' Tennant says in voice-over. ''The blood run out of their noses and out their mouths. ... They're trying to cover this stuff up. But it's not going to be covered up, because I'm going to bring it out in the open for people to see.''

The video shows a large pipe running into the creek, discharging green water with bubbles on the surface. ''This is what they expect a man's cows to drink on his own property,'' Wilbur says. ''It's about high time that someone in the state department of something-or-another got off their cans.''

At one point, the video cuts to a skinny red cow standing in hay. Patches of its hair are missing, and its back is humped — a result, Wilbur speculates, of a kidney malfunction. Another blast of static is followed by a close-up of a dead black calf lying in the snow, its eye a brilliant, chemical blue. ''One hundred fifty-three of these animals I've lost on this farm,'' Wilbur says later in the video. ''Every veterinarian that I've called in Parkersburg, they will not return my phone calls or they don't want to get involved. Since they don't want to get involved, I'll have to dissect this thing myself. ... I'm going to start at this head.''

The video cuts to a calf's bisected head. Close-ups follow of the calf's blackened teeth (''They say that's due to high concentrations of fluoride in the water that they drink''), its liver, heart, stomachs, kidneys and gall bladder. Each organ is sliced open, and Wilbur points out unusual discolorations — some dark, some green — and textures. ''I don't even like the looks of them,'' he says. ''It don't look like anything I've been into before.''

Bilott watched the video and looked at photographs for several hours. He saw cows with stringy tails, malformed hooves, giant lesions protruding from their hides and red, receded eyes; cows suffering constant diarrhea, slobbering white slime the consistency of toothpaste, staggering bowlegged like drunks. Tennant always zoomed in on his cows' eyes. ''This cow's done a lot of suffering,'' he would say, as a blinking eye filled the screen.

''This is bad,'' Bilott said to himself. ''There's something really bad going on here.''

Bilott decided right away to take the Tennant case. It was, he says again, ''the right thing to do.'' Bilott might have had the practiced look of a corporate lawyer — soft-spoken, milk-complected, conservatively attired — but the job had not come naturally to him. He did not have a typical Taft résumé. He had not attended college or law school in the Ivy League. His father was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, and Bilott spent most of his childhood moving among air bases near Albany; Flint, Mich.; Newport Beach, Calif.; and Wiesbaden, West Germany. Bilott attended eight schools before graduating from Fairborn High, near Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. As a junior, he received a recruitment letter from a tiny liberal-arts school in Sarasota called the New College of Florida, which graded pass/fail and allowed students to design their own curriculums. Many of his friends there were idealistic, progressive — ideological misfits in Reagan's America. He met with professors individually and came to value critical thinking. ''I learned to question everything you read,'' he said. ''Don't take anything at face value. Don't care what other people say. I liked that philosophy.'' Bilott studied political science and wrote his thesis about the rise and fall of Dayton. He hoped to become a city manager.

But his father, who late in life enrolled in law school, encouraged Bilott to do the same. Surprising his professors, he chose to attend law school at Ohio State, where his favorite course was environmental law. ''It seemed like it would have real-world impact,'' he said. ''It was something you could do to make a difference.'' When, after graduation, Taft made him an offer, his mentors and friends from New College were aghast. They didn't understand how he could join a corporate firm. Bilott didn't see it that way. He hadn't really thought about the ethics of it, to be honest. ''My family said that a big firm was where you'd get the most opportunities,'' he said. ''I knew nobody who had ever worked at a firm, nobody who knew anything about it. I just tried to get the best job I could. I don't think I had any clue of what that involved.''

At Taft, he asked to join Thomas Terp's environmental team. Ten years earlier, Congress passed the legislation known as Superfund, which financed the emergency cleanup of hazardous-waste dumps. Superfund was a lucrative development for firms like Taft, creating an entire subfield within environmental law, one that required a deep understanding of the new regulations in order to guide negotiations among municipal agencies and numerous private parties. Terp's team at Taft was a leader in the field.

As an associate, Bilott was asked to determine which companies contributed which toxins and hazardous wastes in what quantities to which sites. He took depositions from plant employees, perused public records and organized huge amounts of historical data. He became an expert on the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory framework, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act. He mastered the chemistry of the pollutants, despite the fact that chemistry had been his worst subject in high school. ''I learned how these companies work, how the laws work, how you defend these claims,'' he said. He became the consummate insider.

Bilott was proud of the work he did. The main part of his job, as he understood it, was to help clients comply with the new regulations. Many of his clients, including Thiokol and Bee Chemical, disposed of hazardous waste long before the practice became so tightly regulated. He worked long hours and knew few people in Cincinnati. A colleague on Taft's environmental team, observing that he had little time for a social life, introduced him to a childhood friend named Sarah Barlage. She was a lawyer, too, at another downtown Cincinnati firm, where she de­fended corporations against worker's-compensation claims. Bilott joined the two friends for lunch. Sarah doesn't remember him speaking. ''My first impression was that he was not like other guys,'' she says. ''I'm pretty chatty. He's much quieter. We complemented each other.''

They married in 1996. The first of their three sons was born two years later. He felt secure enough at Taft for Barlage to quit her job and raise their children full-time. Terp, his supervisor, recalls him as ''a real standout lawyer: incredibly bright, energetic, tenacious and very, very thorough.'' He was a model Taft lawyer. Then Wilbur Tennant came along.

The Tennant case put Taft in a highly unusual position. The law firm was in the business of representing chemical corporations, not suing them. The prospect of taking on DuPont ''did cause us pause,'' Terp concedes. ''But it was not a terribly difficult decision for us. I'm a firm believer that our work on the plaintiff's side makes us better defense lawyers.''

Bilott sought help with the Tennant case from a West Virginia lawyer named Larry Winter. For many years, Winter was a partner at Spilman, Thomas & Battle — one of the firms that represented DuPont in West Virginia — though he had left Spilman to start a practice specializing in personal-injury cases. He was amazed that Bilott would sue DuPont while remaining at Taft.

''His taking on the Tennant case,'' Winter says, ''given the type of practice Taft had, I found to be inconceivable.''

Bilott, for his part, is reluctant to discuss his motivations for taking the case. The closest he came to elaborating was after being asked whether, having set out ''to make a difference'' in the world, he had any misgivings about the path his career had taken.

''There was a reason why I was interested in helping out the Tennants,'' he said after a pause. ''It was a great opportunity to use my background for people who really needed it.''

Bilott filed a federal suit against DuPont in the summer of 1999 in the Southern District of West Virginia. In response, DuPont's in-house lawyer, Bernard Reilly, informed him that DuPont and the E.P.A. would commission a study of the property, conducted by three veterinarians chosen by DuPont and three chosen by the E.P.A. Their report did not find DuPont responsible for the cattle's health problems. The culprit, instead, was poor husbandry: ''poor nutrition, inadequate veterinary care and lack of fly control.'' In other words, the Tennants didn't know how to raise cattle; if the cows were dying, it was their own fault.

This did not sit well with the Tennants, who began to suffer the consequences of antagonizing Parkersburg's main employer. Lifelong friends ignored the Tennants on the streets of Parkersburg and walked out of restaurants when they entered. ''I'm not allowed to talk to you,'' they said, when confronted. Four different times, the Tennants changed churches.

Wilbur called the office nearly every day, but Bilott had little to tell him. He was doing for the Tennants what he would have done for any of his corporate clients — pulling permits, studying land deeds and requesting from DuPont all documentation related to Dry Run Landfill — but he could find no evidence that explained what was happening to the cattle. ''We were getting frustrated,'' Bilott said. ''I couldn't blame the Tennants for getting angry.''


With the trial looming, Bilott stumbled upon a letter DuPont had sent to the E.P.A. that mentioned a substance at the landfill with a cryptic name: ''PFOA.'' In all his years working with chemical companies, Bilott had never heard of PFOA. It did not appear on any list of regulated materials, nor could he find it in Taft's in-house library. The chemistry expert that he had retained for the case did, however, vaguely recall an article in a trade journal about a similar-sounding compound: PFOS, a soaplike agent used by the technology conglomerate 3M in the fabrication of Scotchgard.

Bilott hunted through his files for other references to PFOA, which he learned was short for perfluorooctanoic acid. But there was nothing. He asked DuPont to share all documentation related to the substance; DuPont refused. In the fall of 2000, Bilott requested a court order to force them. Against DuPont's protests, the order was granted. Dozens of boxes containing thousands of unorganized documents began to arrive at Taft's headquarters: private internal correspondence, medical and health reports and confidential studies conducted by DuPont scientists. There were more than 110,000 pages in all, some half a century old. Bilott spent the next few months on the floor of his office, poring over the documents and arranging them in chronological order. He stopped answering his office phone. When people called his secretary, she explained that he was in the office but had not been able to reach the phone in time, because he was trapped on all sides by boxes.

''I started seeing a story,'' Bilott said. ''I may have been the first one to actually go through them all. It became apparent what was going on: They had known for a long time that this stuff was bad.''

Bilott is given to understatement. (''To say that Rob Bilott is understated,'' his colleague Edison Hill says, ''is an understatement.'') The story that Bilott began to see, cross-legged on his office floor, was astounding in its breadth, specificity and sheer brazenness. ''I was shocked,'' he said. That was another understatement. Bilott could not believe the scale of incriminating material that DuPont had sent him. The company appeared not to realize what it had handed over. ''It was one of those things where you can't believe you're reading what you're reading,'' he said. ''That it's actually been put in writing. It was the kind of stuff you always heard about happening but you never thought you'd see written down.''

The story began in 1951, when DuPont started purchasing PFOA (which the company refers to as C8) from 3M for use in the manufacturing of Teflon. 3M invented PFOA just four years earlier; it was used to keep coatings like Teflon from clumping during production. Though PFOA was not classified by the government as a hazardous substance, 3M sent DuPont recommendations on how to dispose of it. It was to be incinerated or sent to chemical-waste facilities. DuPont's own instructions specified that it was not to be flushed into surface water or sewers. But over the decades that followed, DuPont pumped hundreds of thousands of pounds of PFOA powder through the outfall pipes of the Parkersburg facility into the Ohio River. The company dumped 7,100 tons of PFOA-laced sludge into ''digestion ponds'': open, unlined pits on the Washington Works property, from which the chemical could seep straight into the ground. PFOA entered the local water table, which supplied drinking water to the communities of Parkersburg, Vienna, Little Hocking and Lubeck — more than 100,000 people in all.

Bilott learned from the documents that 3M and DuPont had been conducting secret medical studies on PFOA for more than four decades. In 1961, DuPont researchers found that the chemical could increase the size of the liver in rats and rabbits. A year later, they replicated these results in studies with dogs. PFOA's peculiar chemical structure made it uncannily resistant to degradation. It also bound to plasma proteins in the blood, circulating through each organ in the body. In the 1970s, DuPont discovered that there were high concentrations of PFOA in the blood of factory workers at Washington Works. They did not tell the E.P.A. at the time. In 1981, 3M — which continued to serve as the supplier of PFOA to DuPont and other corporations — found that ingestion of the substance caused birth defects in rats. After 3M shared this information, DuPont tested the children of pregnant employees in their Teflon division. Of seven births, two had eye defects. DuPont did not make this information public.

In 1984, DuPont became aware that dust vented from factory chimneys settled well beyond the property line and, more disturbing, that PFOA was present in the local water supply. DuPont declined to disclose this finding. In 1991, DuPont scientists determined an internal safety limit for PFOA concentration in drinking water: one part per billion. The same year, DuPont found that water in one local district contained PFOA levels at three times that figure. Despite internal debate, it declined to make the information public.

(In a statement, DuPont claimed that it did volunteer health information about PFOA to the E.P.A. during those decades. When asked for evidence, it forwarded two letters written to West Virginian government agencies from 1982 and 1992, both of which cited internal studies that called into question links between PFOA exposure and human health problems.)

By the '90s, Bilott discovered, DuPont understood that PFOA caused cancerous testicular, pancreatic and liver tumors in lab animals. One laboratory study suggested possible DNA damage from PFOA exposure, and a study of workers linked exposure with prostate cancer. DuPont at last hastened to develop an alternative to PFOA. An interoffice memo sent in 1993 announced that ''for the first time, we have a viable candidate'' that appeared to be less toxic and stayed in the body for a much shorter duration of time. Discussions were held at DuPont's corporate headquarters to discuss switching to the new compound. DuPont decided against it. The risk was too great: Products manufactured with PFOA were an important part of DuPont's business, worth $1 billion in annual profit.


But the crucial discovery for the Tennant case was this: By the late 1980s, as DuPont became increasingly concerned about the health effects of PFOA waste, it decided it needed to find a landfill for the toxic sludge dumped on company property. Fortunately they had recently bought 66 acres from a low-level employee at the Washington Works facility that would do perfectly.

By 1990, DuPont had dumped 7,100 tons of PFOA sludge into Dry Run Landfill. DuPont's scientists understood that the landfill drained into the Tennants' remaining property, and they tested the water in Dry Run Creek. It contained an extraordinarily high concentration of PFOA. DuPont did not tell this to the Tennants at the time, nor did it disclose the fact in the cattle report that it commissioned for the Tennant case a decade later — the report that blamed poor husbandry for the deaths of their cows. Bilott had what he needed.

In August 2000, Bilott called DuPont's lawyer, Bernard Reilly, and explained that he knew what was going on. It was a brief conversation.

The Tennants settled. The firm would receive its contingency fee. The whole business might have ended right there. But Bilott was not satisfied.

''I was irritated,'' he says.

DuPont was nothing like the corporations he had represented at Taft in the Superfund cases. ''This was a completely different scenario. DuPont had for decades been actively trying to conceal their actions. They knew this stuff was harmful, and they put it in the water anyway. These were bad facts.'' He had seen what the PFOA-tainted drinking water had done to cattle. What was it doing to the tens of thousands of people in the areas around Parkersburg who drank it daily from their taps? What did the insides of their heads look like? Were their internal organs green?

Bilott spent the following months drafting a public brief against DuPont. It was 972 pages long, including 136 attached exhibits. His colleagues call it ''Rob's Famous Letter.'' ''We have confirmed that the chemicals and pollutants released into the environment by DuPont at its Dry Run Landfill and other nearby DuPont-owned facilities may pose an imminent and substantial threat to health or the environment,'' Bilott wrote. He demanded immediate action to regulate PFOA and provide clean water to those living near the factory. On March 6, 2001, he sent the letter to the director of every relevant regulatory authority, including Christie Whitman, administrator of the E.P.A., and the United States attorney general, John Ashcroft.

DuPont reacted quickly, requesting a gag order to block Bilott from providing the information he had discovered in the Tennant case to the government. A federal court denied it. Bilott sent his entire case file to the E.P.A.

''DuPont freaked out when they realized that this guy was onto them,'' says Ned McWilliams, a young trial lawyer who later joined Bilott's legal team. ''For a corporation to seek a gag order to prevent somebody from speaking to the E.P.A. is an extraordinary remedy. You could realize how bad that looks. They must have known that there was a small chance of winning. But they were so afraid that they were willing to roll the dice.''

With the Famous Letter, Bilott crossed a line. Though nominally representing the Tennants — their settlement had yet to be concluded — Bilott spoke for the public, claiming extensive fraud and wrongdoing. He had become a threat not merely to DuPont but also to, in the words of one internal memo, ''the entire fluoropolymers industry'' — an industry responsible for the high-performance plastics used in many modern devices, including kitchen products, computer cables, implantable medical devices and bearings and seals used in cars and airplanes. PFOA was only one of more than 60,000 synthetic chemicals that companies produced and released into the world without regulatory oversight.

''Rob's letter lifted the curtain on a whole new theater,'' says Harry Deitzler, a plaintiff's lawyer in West Virginia who works with Bilott. ''Before that letter, corporations could rely upon the public misperception that if a chemical was dangerous, it was regulated.'' Under the 1976 Toxic Sub­stances Control Act, the E.P.A. can test chemicals only when it has been provided evidence of harm. This arrangement, which largely allows chemical companies to regulate themselves, is the reason that the E.P.A. has restricted only five chemicals, out of tens of thousands on the market, in the last 40 years.

It was especially damning to see these allegations against DuPont under the letterhead of one of the nation's most prestigious corporate defense firms. ''You can imagine what some of the other companies that Taft was representing — a Dow Chemical — might have thought of a Taft lawyer taking on DuPont,'' Larry Winter says. ''There was a threat that the firm would suffer financially.'' When I asked Thomas Terp about Taft's reaction to the Famous Letter, he replied, not quite convincingly, that he didn't recall one. ''Our partners,'' he said, ''are proud of the work that he has done.''

Bilott, however, worried that corporations doing business with Taft might see things differently. ''I'm not stupid, and the people around me aren't stupid,'' he said. ''You can't ignore the economic realities of the ways that business is run and the way clients think. I perceived that there were some 'What the hell are you doing?' responses.''

The letter led, four years later, in 2005, to DuPont's reaching a $16.5 million settlement with the E.P.A., which had accused the company of concealing its knowledge of PFOA's toxicity and presence in the environment in violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act. (DuPont was not required to admit liability.) At the time, it was the largest civil administrative penalty the E.P.A. had obtained in its history, a statement that sounds more impressive than it is. The fine represented less than 2 percent of the profits earned by DuPont on PFOA that year.

Bilott never represented a corporate client again.

The obvious next step was to file a class-action lawsuit against DuPont on behalf of everyone whose water was tainted by PFOA. In all ways but one, Bilott himself was in the ideal position to file such a suit. He understood PFOA's history as well as anyone inside DuPont did. He had the technical and regulatory expertise, as he had proved in the Tennant case. The only part that didn't make sense was his firm: No Taft lawyer, to anyone's recollection, had ever filed a class-action lawsuit.

It was one thing to pursue a sentimental case on behalf of a few West Virginia cattle farmers and even write a public letter to the E.P.A. But an industry-threatening class-action suit against one of the world's largest chemical corporations was different. It might establish a precedent for suing corporations over unregulated sub­stances and imperil Taft's bottom line. This point was made to Terp by Bernard Reilly, DuPont's in-house lawyer, according to accounts from Bilott's plaintiff's-lawyer colleagues; they say Reilly called to demand that Bilott back off the case. (Terp confirms that Reilly called him but will not disclose the content of the call; Bilott and Reilly decline to speak about it, citing continuing litigation.) Given what Bilott had documented in his Famous Letter, Taft stood by its partner.

A lead plaintiff soon presented himself. Joseph Kiger, a night-school teacher in Parkersburg, called Bilott to ask for help. About nine months earlier, he received a peculiar note from the Lubeck water district. It arrived on Halloween day, enclosed in the monthly water bill. The note explained that an unregulated chemical named PFOA had been detected in the drinking water in ''low concentrations,'' but that it was not a health risk. Kiger had underlined statements that he found particularly baffling, like: ''DuPont reports that it has toxicological and epidemiological data to support confidence that exposure guidelines established by DuPont are protective of human health.'' The term ''support confidence'' seemed bizarre, as did ''protective of human health,'' not to mention the claim that DuPont's own data supported its confidence in its own guidelines.

Still, Kiger might have forgotten about it had his wife, Darlene, not already spent much of her adulthood thinking about PFOA. Darlene's first husband had been a chemist in DuPont's PFOA lab. (Darlene asked that he not be named so that he wouldn't be involved in the local politics around the case.) ''When you worked at DuPont in this town,'' Darlene says today, ''you could have everything you wanted.'' DuPont paid for his education, it secured him a mortgage and it paid him a generous salary. DuPont even gave him a free supply of PFOA, which, Darlene says, she used as soap in the family's dishwasher and to clean the car. Sometimes her husband came home from work sick — fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting — after working in one of the PFOA storage tanks. It was a common occurrence at Washington Works. Darlene says the men at the plant called it ''Teflon flu.''

In 1976, after Darlene gave birth to their second child, her husband told her that he was not allowed to bring his work clothes home anymore. DuPont, he said, had found out that PFOA was causing health problems for women and birth defects in children. Darlene would remember this six years later when, at 36, she had to have an emergency hysterectomy and again eight years later, when she had a second surgery. When the strange letter from the water district arrived, Darlene says, ''I kept thinking back to his clothing, to my hysterectomy. I asked myself, what does DuPont have to do with our drinking water?''


Joe called the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources (''They treated me like I had the plague''), the Parkersburg office of the state's Department of Environmental Protection (''nothing to worry about''), the water division (''I got shut down''), the local health department (''just plain rude''), even DuPont (''I was fed the biggest line of [expletive] anybody could have been fed''), before a scientist in the regional E.P.A. office finally took his call.

''Good God, Joe,'' the scientist said. ''What the hell is that stuff doing in your water?'' He sent Kiger information about the Tennant lawsuit. On the court papers Kiger kept seeing the same name: Robert Bilott, of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, in Cincinnati.

Bilott had anticipated suing on behalf of the one or two water districts closest to Washington Works. But tests revealed that six districts, as well as dozens of private wells, were tainted with levels of PFOA higher than DuPont's own internal safety standard. In Little Hocking, the water tested positive for PFOA at seven times the limit. All told, 70,000 people were drinking poisoned water. Some had been doing so for decades.

But Bilott faced a vexing legal problem. PFOA was not a regulated substance. It appeared on no federal or state list of contaminants. How could Bilott claim that 70,000 people had been poisoned if the government didn't recognize PFOA as a toxin — if PFOA, legally speaking, was no different than water itself? In 2001, it could not even be proved that exposure to PFOA in public drinking water caused health problems. There was scant information available about its impact on large populations. How could the class prove it had been harmed by PFOA when the health effects were largely unknown?

The best metric Bilott had to judge a safe exposure level was DuPont's own internal limit of one part per billion. But when DuPont learned that Bilott was preparing a new lawsuit, it announced that it would re-evaluate that figure. As in the Tennant case, DuPont formed a team composed of its own scientists and scientists from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. It announced a new threshold: 150 parts per billion.

Bilott found the figure ''mind-blowing.'' The toxicologists he hired had settled upon a safety limit of 0.2 parts per billion. But West Virginia endorsed the new standard. Within two years, three lawyers regularly used by DuPont were hired by the state D.E.P. in leadership positions. One of them was placed in charge of the entire agency. ''The way that transpired was just amazing to me,'' Bilott says. ''I suppose it wasn't so amazing to my fellow counsel in West Virginia who know the system there. But it was to me.'' The same DuPont lawyers tasked with writing the safety limit, Bilott said, had become the government regulators responsible for enforcing that limit.

Bilott devised a new legal strategy. A year earlier, West Virginia had become one of the first states to recognize what is called, in tort law, a medical-monitoring claim. A plaintiff needs to prove only that he or she has been exposed to a toxin. If the plaintiff wins, the defendant is required to fund regular medical tests. In these cases, should a plaintiff later become ill, he or she can sue retroactively for damages. For this reason, Bilott filed the class-action suit in August 2001 in state court, even though four of the six affected water districts lay across the Ohio border.

Meanwhile the E.P.A., drawing from Bilott's research, began its own investigation into the toxicity of PFOA. In 2002, the agency released its initial findings: PFOA might pose human health risks not only to those drinking tainted water, but also to the general public — anyone, for instance, who cooked with Teflon pans. The E.P.A. was particularly alarmed to learn that PFOA had been detected in American blood banks, something 3M and DuPont had known as early as 1976. By 2003 the average concentration of PFOA in the blood of an adult American was four to five parts per billion. In 2000, 3M ceased production of PFOA. DuPont, rather than use an alternative compound, built a new factory in Fayetteville, N.C., to manufacture the substance for its own use.

Bilott's strategy appeared to have worked. In September 2004, DuPont decided to settle the class-action suit. It agreed to install filtration plants in the six affected water districts if they wanted them and pay a cash award of $70 million. It would fund a scientific study to determine whether there was a ''probable link'' — a term that delicately avoided any declaration of causation — between PFOA and any diseases. If such links existed, DuPont would pay for medical monitoring of the affected group in perpetuity. Until the scientific study came back with its results, class members were forbidden from filing personal-injury suits against DuPont.

A reasonable expectation, at this point, was that the lawyers would move on. ''In any other class action you've ever read about,'' Deitzler says, ''you get your 10 bucks in the mail, the lawyers get paid and the lawsuit goes away. That's what we were supposed to do.'' For three years, Bilott had worked for nothing, costing his firm a fortune. But now Taft received a windfall: Bilott and his team of West Virginian plaintiff lawyers received $21.7 million in fees from the settlement. ''I think they were thinking, This guy did O.K.,'' Deitzler says. ''I wouldn't be surprised if he got a raise.''

Not only had Taft recouped its losses, but DuPont was providing clean water to the communities named in the suit. Bilott had every reason to walk away.

He didn't.

''There was a gap in the data,'' Bilott says. The company's internal health studies, as damning as they were, were limited to factory employees. DuPont could argue — and had argued — that even if PFOA caused medical problems, it was only because factory workers had been exposed at exponentially higher levels than neighbors who drank tainted water. The gap allowed DuPont to claim that it had done nothing wrong.

Bilott represented 70,000 people who had been drinking PFOA-laced drinking water for decades. What if the settlement money could be used to test them? ''Class members were concerned about three things,'' Winter says. ''One: Do I have C8 in my blood? Two: If I do, is it harmful? Three: If it's harmful, what are the effects?'' Bilott and his colleagues realized they could answer all three questions, if only they could test their clients. Now, they realized, there was a way to do so. After the settlement, the legal team pushed to make receipt of the cash award contingent on a full medical examination. The class voted in favor of this approach, and within months, nearly 70,000 West Virginians were trading their blood for a $400 check.

The team of epidemiologists was flooded with medical data, and there was nothing DuPont could do to stop it. In fact, it was another term of the settlement that DuPont would fund the research without limitation. The scientists, freed from the restraints of academic budgets and grants, had hit the epidemiological jackpot: an entire population's personal data and infinite resources available to study them. The scientists designed 12 studies, including one that, using sophisticated environmental modeling technology, determined exactly how much PFOA each individual class member had ingested.

It was assured that the panel would return convincing results. But Bilott could not predict what those results would be. If no correlation was found between PFOA and illness, Bilott's clients would be barred under the terms of the agreement from filing any personal-injury cases. Because of the sheer quantity of data provided by the community health study and the un­limited budget — it ultimately cost DuPont $33 million — the panel took longer than ex­pected to perform its analysis. Two years passed without any findings. Bilott waited. A third year passed. Then a fourth, a fifth, a sixth. Still the panel was quiet. Bilott waited.

It was not a peaceful wait. The pressure on Bilott at Taft had built since he initiated the class-action suit in 2001. The legal fees had granted him a reprieve, but as the years passed without resolution, and Bilott continued to spend the firm's money and was unable to attract new clients, he found himself in an awkward position.

''This case,'' Winter says, ''regardless of how hugely successful it ends up, will never in the Taft firm's mind replace what they've lost in the way of legal business over the years.''

The longer it took for the science panel to conduct its research, the more expensive the case became. Taft continued to pay consultants to interpret the new findings and relay them to the epidemiologists. Bilott counseled class members in West Virginia and Ohio and traveled frequently to Washington to attend meetings at the E.P.A., which was deciding whether to issue advisories about PFOA. ''We were incurring a lot of expenses,'' Bilott says. ''If the scientific panel found no link with diseases, we'd have to eat it all.''

Clients called Bilott to say that they had received diagnoses of cancer or that a family member had died. They wanted to know why it was taking so long. When would they get relief? Among those who called was Jim Tennant. Wilbur, who had cancer, had died of a heart attack. Two years later, Wilbur's wife died of cancer. Bilott was tormented by ''the thought that we still hadn't been able to hold this company responsible for what they did in time for those people to see it.''

Taft did not waver in its support of the case, but the strain began to show. ''It was stressful,'' Sarah Barlage, Bilott's wife, says. ''He was exasperated that it was lasting a long time. But his heels were so dug in. He's extremely stubborn. Every day that went by with no movement gave him more drive to see it through. But in the back of our minds, we knew that there are cases that go on forever.''

His colleagues on the case detected a change in Bilott. ''I had the impression that it was extremely tough on him,'' Winter says. ''Rob had a young family, kids growing up, and he was under pressure from his firm. Rob is a private person. He didn't complain. But he showed signs of being under enormous stress.''

In 2010, Bilott began suffering strange attacks: His vision would blur, he couldn't put on his socks, his arms felt numb. His doctors didn't know what was happening. The attacks recurred periodically, bringing blurry vision, slurred speech and difficulty moving one side of his body. They struck suddenly, without warning, and their effects lasted days. The doctors asked whether he was under heightened stress at work. ''Nothing different than normal,'' Bilott told them. ''Nothing it hadn't been for years.''

The doctors ultimately hit upon an effective medication. The episodes ceased and their symptoms, apart from an occasional tic, are under control, but he still doesn't have a diagnosis.

''It was stressful,'' Bilott says, ''not to know what the heck was going on.''

In December 2011, after seven years, the scientists began to release their findings: there was a ''probable link'' between PFOA and kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, pre-eclampsia and ulcerative colitis.

''There was relief,'' Bilott says, understated nearly to the point of self-effacement. ''We were able to deliver what we had promised to these folks seven years earlier. Especially since, for all those years, DuPont had been saying that we were lying, trying to scare and mislead people. Now we had a scientific answer.''

As of October, 3,535 plaintiffs have filed personal-injury lawsuits against DuPont. The first member of this group to go to trial was a kidney-cancer survivor named Carla Bartlett. In October, Bartlett was awarded $1.6 million. DuPont plans to appeal. This may have ramifications well beyond Bartlett's case: Hers is one of five ''bellwether'' cases that will be tried over the course of this year. After that, DuPont may choose to settle with every afflicted class member, using the outcome of the bellwether cases to determine settlement awards. Or DuPont can fight each suit individually, a tactic that tobacco companies have used to fight personal-injury lawsuits. At the rate of four trials a year, DuPont would continue to fight PFOA cases until the year 2890.

DuPont's continuing refusal to accept responsibility is maddening to Bilott. ''To think that you've negotiated in good faith a deal that everybody has abided by and worked on for seven years, you reach a point where certain things were to be resolved but then remain contested,'' he says. ''I think about the clients who have been waiting for this, many of whom are sick or have died while waiting. It's infuriating.''


As part of its agreement with the E.P.A., DuPont ceased production and use of PFOA in 2013. The five other companies in the world that produce PFOA are also phasing out production. DuPont, which is currently negotiating a merger with Dow Chemical, last year severed its chemical businesses: They have been spun off into a new corporation called Chemours. The new company has replaced PFOA with similar fluorine-based compounds designed to biodegrade more quickly — the alternative considered and then discarded by DuPont more than 20 years ago. Like PFOA, these new substances have not come under any regulation from the E.P.A. When asked about the safety of the new chemicals, Chemours replied in a statement: ''A significant body of data demonstrates that these alternative chemistries can be used safely.''

Last May, 200 scientists from a variety of disciplines signed the Madrid Statement, which expresses concern about the production of all fluorochemicals, or PFASs, including those that have replaced PFOA. PFOA and its replacements are suspected to belong to a large class of artificial compounds called endocrine-disrupting chemicals; these compounds, which include chemicals used in the production of pesticides, plastics and gasoline, interfere with human reproduction and metabolism and cause cancer, thyroid problems and nervous-system disorders. In the last five years, however, a new wave of endocrinology research has found that even extremely low doses of such chemicals can create significant health problems. Among the Madrid scientists' recommendations: ''Enact legislation to require only essential uses of PFASs'' and ''Whenever possible, avoid products containing, or manufactured using, PFASs. These include many products that are stain-resistant, waterproof or nonstick.''

When asked about the Madrid Statement, Dan Turner, DuPont's head of global media relations, wrote in an email: ''DuPont does not believe the Madrid Statement reflects a true consideration of the available data on alternatives to long-chain perfluorochemicals, such as PFOA. DuPont worked for more than a decade, with oversight from regulators, to introduce its alternatives. Extensive data has been developed, demonstrating that these alternatives are much more rapidly eliminated from the body than PFOA, and have improved health safety profiles. We are confident that these alternative chemistries can be used safely — they are well characterized, and the data has been used to register them with environmental agencies around the world.''

Every year Rob Bilott writes a letter to the E.P.A. and the West Virginia D.E.P., urging the regulation of PFOA in drinking water. In 2009, the E.P.A. set a ''provisional'' limit of 0.4 parts per billion for short-term exposure, but has never finalized that figure. This means that local water districts are under no obligation to tell customers whether PFOA is in their water. In response to Bilott's most recent letter, the E.P.A. claimed that it would announce a ''lifetime health advisory level for PFOA'' by ''early 2016.''

This advisory level, if indeed announced, might be a source of comfort to future generations. But if you are a sentient being reading this article in 2016, you already have PFOA in your blood. It is in your parents' blood, your children's blood, your lover's blood. How did it get there? Through the air, through your diet, through your use of nonstick cookware, through your umbilical cord. Or you might have drunk tainted water. The Environmental Working Group has found manufactured fluoro­chemicals present in 94 water districts across 27 states (see sidebar beginning on Page 38). Residents of Issaquah, Wash.; Wilmington, Del.; Colorado Springs; and Nassau County on Long Island are among those whose water has a higher concentration of fluorochemicals than that in some of the districts included in Rob Bilott's class-action suit. The drinking water in Parkersburg itself, whose water district was not included in the original class-action suit and has failed to compel DuPont to pay for a filtration system, is currently tainted with high levels of PFOA. Most residents appear not to know this.

Where scientists have tested for the presence of PFOA in the world, they have found it. PFOA is in the blood or vital organs of Atlantic salmon, swordfish, striped mullet, gray seals, common cormorants, Alaskan polar bears, brown pelicans, sea turtles, sea eagles, Midwestern bald eagles, California sea lions and Laysan albatrosses on Sand Island, a wildlife refuge on Midway Atoll, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, about halfway between North America and Asia.

''We see a situation,'' Joe Kiger says, ''that has gone from Washington Works, to statewide, to the United States, and now it's everywhere, it's global. We've taken the cap off something here. But it's just not DuPont. Good God. There are 60,000 unregulated chemicals out there right now. We have no idea what we're taking.''

Bilott doesn't regret fighting DuPont for the last 16 years, nor for letting PFOA consume his career. But he is still angry. ''The thought that DuPont could get away with this for this long,'' Bilott says, his tone landing halfway between wonder and rage, ''that they could keep making a profit off it, then get the agreement of the governmental agencies to slowly phase it out, only to replace it with an alternative with unknown human effects — we told the agencies about this in 2001, and they've essentially done nothing. That's 14 years of this stuff continuing to be used, continuing to be in the drinking water all over the country. DuPont just quietly switches over to the next substance. And in the meantime, they fight everyone who has been injured by it.''

Bilott is currently prosecuting Wolf v. DuPont, the second of the personal-injury cases filed by the members of his class. The plaintiff, John M. Wolf of Parkersburg, claims that PFOA in his drinking water caused him to develop ulcerative colitis. That trial begins in March. When it concludes, there will be 3,533 cases left to try.

Correction: Jan. 24, 2016
An article on Jan 10. about legal action against DuPont for chemical pollution referred incorrectly to DuPont's response in the 1970s when the company discovered high concentrations of PFOA in the blood of workers at Washington Works, a DuPont factory. DuPont withheld the information from the E.P.A., not from its workers. The article also misstated the year DuPont agreed to a $16.5 million settlement with the E.P.A. It was 2005, not 2006. In addition, the article misidentified the water district where a resident received a letter from the district noting that PFOA had been detected in the drinking water. It was Lubeck, W.Va. — not Little Hocking, Ohio. The article also misidentified the district where water tested positive for PFOA at seven times the limit. It was Little Hocking, not Lubeck. And the article misidentified the city in Washington State that has fluorochemicals in its drink-ing water. It is Issaquah, not Seattle.

Not disputing the fact that anyone that randomly kills someone over a parking space isn't barking, but id say that giving someone professional psychiatric help is standard in such cases, as a lawyer defending her, he would do that as a matter of course. But she may have had no problems or signs that gave any indication that she do something like that.

Agreed on the psychiatric help, it seems to be minimal at best, I was in A&E the other week and the amount of people in for what i can only assume from observation for mental health issues was very high, a lot of concerned frighten looking parents, at their wits ends and it seems A&E is their only option, there were no immediate signs of a physical problem.

One has to question why has this not be acted on firstly by the NHS and secondly by even the private sector? If it was my child going through those issues I wouldn't be expecting a lot from the NHS and would go down the private route straight away

If you've time to kill, do a search for "Florida man" or "Florida man meme" through your favourite Internet search engine. You should be able to read loads of stuff like those mentioned below...

This is a fair point, the US has a lot of variation. Massachusetts or Oregon might have quite a different way of doing things.

Been watching Trump over the last 3 months and how he has being dealing with the Corona Virus. Each day there could be an entry in this thread. Between tweets, rallies, Press conferences and interviews. Each day the madness continues, so much so that it's nearly normal at this stage as he has lowered the bar only millimetres from the ground. He'd need to do something completely crazy at this stage to get an entry in here.

I remember thinking Bush Junior was a chancer a decade or so ago. But in comparison to Trump he seems sophisticated.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-52796601

Photo 3, maybe some won't think it's, well stupid and irresponsible

I agree, irresponsible at the very least, imagine trying to push a child over the edge of a cliff.

Same and worse goes on at the Cliffs of Moher, which in fairness aren't as unstable as that place looks.  I once witnessed a screaming woman fall to her death there. Half an hour later, tourists were taking cliff edge selfies as the coastguard helicopter circled above trying to locate her remains.

Never again.

Some of the lowlife scumbags out there make you wonder sometimes.

Initial stories on this company would make you question what kind of clueless idiots did they have making the decisions, basically torpedoing their own reputation over a measly $1800.

Perhaps understandable, but a shame that the environmental disaster is so quickly bumped from the public conscience when something else big crops up. I remember the financial crisis of the 00's killing much of the momentum the issue had built during that decade. Of course people will always but more worried about immediate concerns, but it's sad that it'll likely take years of Attenborough documentaries and attention grabbing social media campaigns and school kid lead protests to reestablish anything like the same public profile for the issue.

f**k me, 20,000 tonnes of diesel? Billion dollar clean-up?

And how the f**k do you properly clean up that large of an area in a tundra landscape? It would be like cleaning up a bog hole more than a hundred square miles in size and growing as the diesel percolates through the water and mud.

Another video of that Norway landslide, from the same fella, this time with initial footage from some of the properties before they slid away. The houses he walks by are seen later in the video (footage taken from up on the hill) sliding off into the sea. You can see cracks forming in the lane by the house too.

Drone footage at the end of the aftermath.

The strange thing about the case is if he was lost in such a small area with only one woodland area he'd have been found by now. That specialist team know their shit.

As for it being sectarian bi racial I can't see it, it was a Sunday afternoon broad daylight and he wasn't wearing a Celtic top or anything else that would have raised attention,, plenty of biracial kids living on the shore rd.

The family must be in pure turmoil at the minute.

Few things don't add up, and I wouldn't be going by rumours at all, if he wasn't seen after 6.11pm (considering his predicament) then he's either found a place for whatever reasons or someone has found him, an opportunist.

Not finding more clothes or backpack seems strange at this point.

Really hope for some closure on this, been taking the dogs up and all around Cavehill recently, would hate to come across anything, and god help anyone who does, but there is definitely more witnesses to this.

That's a brave call. Finding some of the clothes / backpack removes that kind of idea for me unless they are complete idiots. There'd be all kinds of recoverable DNA evidence on that. UVF members would know rule #1. Burn all evidence.

I know they are a shower of scumbags bu I'd be surprised if they were. I just don't see why they would be.

Sad case this. Really hope for some positive outcome but it is getting harder and harder to see it.

I wonder where they found his rucksack today

The young lad was obviously running away with a rucksack like that....at the very least he wasn't for coming back that night. When I first heard about it I thought he might have been hit by a car and drove on, but that's now out.

Unfortunately, it seems more sinister but I cling to the hope he's in hiding with some young girlfriend or whatever just outside Belfast - obviously that's more in hope, than belief. I would imagine they are going through his social media accounts or whatever at present, that should add clues.

I just can't see it.  Helicopters are back up in the air this afternoon over the Shore Road.  Something's happened down in that area - they have searched houses down there, so there must be some sort of intelligence.

IMO the MIPP the police opened earlier was a sure sign, despite the them saying different, that they know something that is pointing them towards a crime and are looking for people to start providing tip offs.

Tragic news, poor fella. 

What's the theory, that he fell from his bike, hit his head, became confused and ended up in a storm drain for cover.  If so, it really is unbelievably tragic.  In an area as densely populated as north Belfast, he had absolutely no luck at all.  RIP.

I agree O'Neill, unless the police need the public to know, we are unlikely to hear many more details.

Questions over why he was around that area, how he came to be cycling naked, and why his backpack was found away from other clothes and bike won't be answered to anyone but his family, unless there are criminal aspects  to it.

Nowhere official, a bit of a "Karen from FB" thing that was mentioned to me, and then I did a bit of looking online. There's a plethora of online discussion about the concepts in this book, including biblical refs to shame of nakedness. Then again, it could be the type of book that has an answer for everything if you go looking for it. I know the book is very popular with teenagers - and was so specifically called out by the PSNI, as if it was to be a hook for people listening.

There will probably be a post mortem to find out whether or not he had a head trauma.

I don't know much about the case and TBH it doesn't really matter as it's not going to bring the cub back but how the hell he got down a manhole and into a storm sewer i don't know. It generally take two men to lift a manhole lid with metal lifters (one man could do it if he's strong and the lid is loose) and TBH majority of time these lids haven't been lifted in a while so they usually take a bit of persuasion so how this happened is weird. Terrible tragedy and can't imagine what the family are going thru right now.
My son's friend from school (from primary one right up to last year) passed away yesterday too at 12 years of age...unreal. The lad had asthma and I was told he went to bed with a sore tummy that's all i know, never heard what happened him. Was thinking about these cases last night and how parents cope with this type of thing is not worth thinking about, how they find the strength to carry one is unimaginable

What is going on with that Noah Donahue case in Belfast. Accusations left, right and centre that the police are telling lies. Why would they be? All very strange.

No head injury and died of drowning in a storm drain, post mortem didn't reveal any foul play.

Why are people losing their shit with this now that the young lad has been found?
For probably the same reasons that the family have gone to Relatives for Justice. I.e they believe that there are a lot of unanswered questions relating to the lad's death and possibly they believe that the police have been as dismissive as you are being.

I'm not being dismissive. There will always be unanswered questions relating to something so distressing as this and if we were to listen to all the nonsense on these social media sites it would leave any family wondering if there was another dark reason for his death..

I wasn't at the crime scene nor were anybody on social media, if the family want to go down that road for better clarity then whatever helps them through it

What if there are unanswered questions there could be answers to though? Seems a lot of momentum on this now with the media on it too so I doubt it has gone away. Very sad case.

What if the post mortem revealed that he died of drowning and his time of death was dated the Sunday he went missing?

So if there was a cover up would the pathologist be involved also?

Cops made a statement today saying they knew all along that he was going to meet friends at Cavehill Park but it wasn't disclosed to the public?
Where I live you can't fart while walking down the street without it doing the rounds on WhatsApp 10 mins later. How on Earth is their not one bit of footage of a naked person on a bike in a dense residential area?

All I'm saying is i don't know what happened but I refuse to jump on the Social bandwagon, if a report shows that the cops were hiding something or helped in covering up something then yes they should be pulled.

You can only really go on witnesses reports, they have constantly been on radio this week been asking for dashcam coverage or other footage that the public may have,!

I'm sure 100% they have checked all business cameras in the area also. Christ they even checked cameras for a stolen wheelie bin of ours in Waring street!

This is a tragic case of either misadventure or suicide, I hope to god it isnt a murder case.

I'd previously thought that the unanswered questions were there because the family didn't want more info out there on circumstances. But when I saw his aunt post on social media last weekend looking for more footage, and then hearing they had engaged with Rels for Justice/KRW, that changes things.

Serious amount of questions being asked about a gang that have been attacking young lads in the area and what seems to have been a possible cover up at a time of high tension. That's the feeling among a lot of people

I'd love nothing more for this family to get closure on this horrible tragic event.

But a gang of lads that were beating people up, stealing phones, bikes previously seems a bit far fetched in covering up their actions?

Why would cops do that? I'm struggling to see the cover up.

I can envisage a lad being chased and finding somewhere to hide (storm drain) but I can also see troubled teenagers dealing with issues and unfortunately taking the wrong option.

I really hope there was no foul play as the can of worms that opens up would be hard to take.

BC1, has there been other evidence left out of the media?

I don't know personally. I know questions are being asked. There was a young lad attacked the previous week on the limestone road by a gang from the Tigers Bay Area and this wasn't the first of these attacks. Maybe the family are just looking closure so I hope there is nothing untoward and that it was simply a series of unusual events. All I know is that questions have been raised about the quality of the police investigation

It's not the troubles, covering up a bunch of kids that may have carried out a botched attack/robbery seems a bit strange...

I doubt (could be completely wrong of course) this was a cover up to protect hooligans from tigers bay, if that's the case.

Investigation may have been poorly done but the efforts of the search and rescue teams, who usually go about their job very professionally, probably missed an opportunity of searching that storm drain fully.

The coroners report would also need to be fabricated too I'd assume?

I'm not involved in the investigation or know anything other than what was reported at the time, nor would I listen to Karen from Facebook. The continued social media drive on this case is worrying

What have the police done wrong?

Coming up with hare-brained theory and then releasing their own 'facts' to suit - head injury so stripped off (ludicrous stuff), said he was cycling naked, but not showing any evidence of this (family had requested), telling family leaflet drop done when not, not saying he had a good reason to be heading toward cavehill, i.e. it was initially thought of by general public as more likely to be suicide than missing person which definitely affected public response, or that he was off his head with the cycling naked stuff - there is a at best a staggering level of dangerous incompetence here. There's far more operational stuff too - like having to be prompted to ask for the items they said were still missing, the length of time it took for them to organise any kind of response - not to mention the seeming ambivalence toward it now. It stinks to high heaven - and even if they havent done anything wrong, there needs to be a full investigation into this to restore any confidence in them.
Title: Re: Things that make you go What the F**k?
Post by: Milltown Row2 on July 27, 2020, 10:41:10 AM
Unfortunately this lad was probably dead long before he became a missing person, there are no reports that he was attacked and he was never seen leaving that place he entered on the Shore rd, if going to Cavehill why not head up past his school on the Antrim rd?

The community Search and rescue team are better at this stuff than police, they'd have coordinated search and even they took a week to get him!

Whatever reports the peelers put out would not have changed the outcome. As incompetent as some of it seems

Young males in Northern Ireland go missing all the time, some are found straight away others unfortunately go to remote places and take their own lives, that's a sad fact.

This particular case I think is still being reviewed and findings will be given early next year, plenty time to look at it then, dragging this through social media keeps that wound open for the family.

Hong Kongers to build a city somewhere, possibly Ireland  :o

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/07/mark-lutter-on-hong-kong-in-ireland.html

QuoteThanks for sharing the article about the Victoria Harbor Group. We, me (Mark Lutter) being Chief Strategy Officer, are in discussions with Ireland. However, it is important to note that the information mentioned is dated. As any early stage company, our ideas have rapidly evolved. While the term we are using is 'International Charter City', we are not pursuing full scale autonomy. Our priority is to acquire land and build political support in the host country to build a city for the Hong Kong people with the target population being 50% HKers and 50% citizens of the host country. Of course, we wouldn't say no to tax and regulatory relief, but that is not our focus.

Our key assumptions are as follows

1. The next 10-15 years will see 1m to 2m Hong Kongers migrate, the first mass migration of high skilled labor in the last 40 or so years.
2. There is value from coordinating this migration, keeping network effects, ensuring housing supply, etc
3. We see this as an opportunity to build the city of the future, cutting edge urban design, welcoming of new technology, self-driving cars, drone delivery, etc.
4. We are in discussions with several countries, not just Ireland, which we will make public when possible. We prefer English speaking countries with common law traditions, but are open to considering others.
5. Our goal is to acquire 50,000+ acres within 2 hours of an airport to build a new city for several hundred thousand residents. Obviously this depends on the political support in the host country. Smaller countries like Ireland would have smaller developments.
6. Political support from the host country is crucial. We are not asking for independence or autonomy. Of course, we wouldn't say no to tax and regulatory relief, but that is less important than land availability and domestic buy in.
7. The city will fit in the national plans of the host country. The Hong Kongers excel in finance and manufacturing, as well as education and healthcare. While little manufacturing is done in Hong Kong, Hong Kongers own many factories in the Guangdong province. Any country looking to revive their manufacturing base could do so by attracting a bunch of talented HKers. Additionally, a good location could become a top 10 global financial center in 10 years by attracting HK financial talent.
8. We believe this is a great opportunity for any country which wants to attract a talented, hardworking, entrepreneurial population.
9. I have seen a lot of charter city projects and this is the first one I wanted to become part of the leadership team of.

For more information please see my podcast with Ivan Ko, the CEO. Our website will be launching soon.

4. We are in discussions with several countries, not just Ireland, which we will make public when possible. We prefer English speaking countries with common law traditions, but are open to considering others.
5. Our goal is to acquire 50,000+ acres within 2 hours of an airport to build a new city for several hundred thousand residents. Obviously this depends on the political support in the host country. Smaller countries like Ireland would have smaller developments.
6. Political support from the host country is crucial. We are not asking for independence or autonomy. Of course, we wouldn't say no to tax and regulatory relief, but that is less important than land availability and domestic buy in.
7. The city will fit in the national plans of the host country. The Hong Kongers excel in finance and manufacturing, as well as education and healthcare. While little manufacturing is done in Hong Kong, Hong Kongers own many factories in the Guangdong province. Any country looking to revive their manufacturing base could do so by attracting a bunch of talented HKers. Additionally, a good location could become a top 10 global financial center in 10 years by attracting HK financial talent.
8. We believe this is a great opportunity for any country which wants to attract a talented, hardworking, entrepreneurial population.
9. I have seen a lot of charter city projects and this is the first one I wanted to become part of the leadership team of.

For more information please see my podcast with Ivan Ko, the CEO. Our website will be launching soon.

Yip, Govt reckon if you need the covid payment then you shouldn't be able to afford travel/holiday. The more concerning part is the information that is being shared btw somebody and the state.

They're only doing it as punishment for daring to disobey their idiotic "don't go on holiday" decrees. They're a thundering disgrace.

But is the Covid payment to help ensure people have enough money to put food on the table, to pay their bills, to look after their children and other essentials?

I wouldn't have thought it's to pay for people to go on holidays abroad.

No, it's to maintain a basic income for people out of work because of the lockdown and associated scare. Note that some part time workers have from the outset been collecting a lot more from it than they were previously earning in work. There is no requirement to spend it on food etc.

A lot of people would have already booked and paid for the holidays before they were put on the PUP so there should be no reason to stop them going on what they had already paid for.

I think the worst part of it is that they changed the criteria to say people have to be actively looking for work to be eligible for it.  A lot of bar staff are on it because the pubs haven't been allowed to reopen, so are they supposed to look for other work when they technically still have a job they are waiting to go back to?

If you go somewhere and then require 14 days quarantine then you are by your own actions rendering yourself unavailable for work. Since they said they would not pay public staff for the quarantine (unless they had holidays) you would also need to have the same rule for people doing nothing as those paying them in the welfare office.

Totally agree. I know one of the men named and he doesn't deserve this and his young kids definitely won't deserve the future stick they'll get. Same guy has also helped raise a good bit of money for charity so to have his name dragged through the mud is very unfair on him. Another person named has had a family member killed in tragic circumstances, god only knows what the mental health of these people currently are.

One of the most notable achievements of an Irish sportsperson this year and not a mention of it in the RTE sports page. Rally driver Craig Breen matched his best ever result in a WRC event, finishing second by a narrow margin to home favourite and reigning world champion, Estonian Ott Tanak. The winner was fortunate to survive a late slide and held on to win by 22 seconds. Super drive by Breen in a rare outing in a works Hyundai car, one that should hopefully keep in the eye of team managers. No Irish driver has ever won a WRC event, so this was the closest we've been.

Mom Fights to Ban Child Sex Dolls After Daughter's Likeness Was Used for One

QuoteA mother is fighting back after a photo of her child was stolen and her likeness was turned into a sex doll that was legally for sale on Amazon and other websites.

NBC 6 talked exclusively with the girl's mother to talk about her quest with a Boca Raton organization to fight for a federal mandate banning child sex dolls. Currently, child sex dolls are only banned in Florida and two other states, but advocates and victims say much more needs to be done to expose this secret.

"I knew it right away. I knew it the one site, I saw her and zoomed in on her face and her hair. I was just, I couldn't believe it," said the mother, who asked to be identified as only Terri.

Honestly that is sick.
The politicians that are pushing to normalise this sort of behavior are also coming out of the woodwork.

A male aged 21 to 34 who drives a scania v8 topline with sidepipes. He will also have a griffin led logo in the cab and have the limiter fuse pulled. They will wear a check shirt, a scania v8 jacket, a pair of jeans and leather boots.
Super Hampton boots for the top tangs - run you about 300 quid. Fella pulled up outside the chippy in Armagh a couple of months ago in full tang regalia (although had a gilet instead of full jacket) and the check shirt was unbuttoned to just above the belly button. It's a strong look.

The ERG rejected the backstop on the grounds of sovereignty. They voted for Johnson's oven ready deal without looking at it. Now the Tories don't like the deal because of sovereignty.
There is no way to leave without sovereignty problems.

You need to work on your comprehension. That doesn't appear to be what happened going by the link you've posted and further reading it inspired. Commonsense would also suggest protesters would be doing well to beat the ambulance to the hospital, especially because presumably they'd have had to wait to hear about the shooting. And what hospital they were in. Obviously not agreeing with the protest at a hospital, but it doesn't appear to have had the purpose you say.

Plenty of at-the-time unsupported allegations have turned out to be true. Plenty more have not.

Should each case not be taken on its merits?

If Roesider is pontificating on the WTF thread that we should all be outraged about this film (and he/she may well be correct), is it not fair to ask him/her exactly what the problem is?

If people want to justify their reason for watching is down to not giving in to qanon then they can continue to convince themselves of that. maybe after their 10th viewing they will start to understand the intellectual arguments behind what the director was attempting to portray.  ::)

I have researched it. Look up the definition of the  term "child porn". It includes simulations of sexual acts by and involving minors.

You seem more annoyed by 4chan and Qanon than by this crap.

The only thing I know about this film is the discussion on this thread. You may be right that it is child porn, although you haven't offered much of an argument. I'm arguing the principle.

Grown adults can make and watch films/documentaries about disturbing subjects without it serving the purpose of titillation. Did anyone watch Schindler's List ten times for sexual kicks because it depicts Jewish Holocaust victims stripped naked on their way to the "showers"? Or are most people mature enough to see the scene as a true-to-life depiction of the depravity and inhumanity of the Nazis?

Go and watch it then. You haven't watched it, so you're complaining about something you know nothing about.

If you go and watch it, you'll be watching something you believe to be child pornography.

Lolz.

You're not that oul' wan who was on Liveline saying that "Normal People" was like "something you'd see in parrrno", by any chance, are you?

Yes, the poster who dismissed the Cuties furore as "a Qanon conspiracy theory". And now you with your " perfectly valid to harbour strong doubts and suspicions of the motives and authenticity of claims originating from movements like QAnon" apologia.

I don't think you understand the word 'aplogia'.

I simply asked why the poster wanted to have something banned and the proposer was unable to answer. We now apparantly have Netflix showing 'child porn'.

You are jumping aboard a Qanon bandwagon without bothering to do research and then the Qanon trick that anyone who questions you is a paedo apologist.

Try harder, you aren't on 4cham or stormfront.

So you are now the wtf.

What are you going on about? I already answered. There should be no need for any grouping (internet or otherwise) to tell you that films containing pre-teen girls in skimpy clothes with close up body shots is disturbing.

If people want to justify their reason for watching is down to not giving in to qanon then they can continue to convince themselves of that. maybe after their 10th viewing they will start to understand the intellectual arguments behind what the director was attempting to portray.  ::)

The only thing I know about this film is the discussion on this thread. You may be right that it is child porn, although you haven't offered much of an argument. I'm arguing the principle.

Grown adults can make and watch films/documentaries about disturbing subjects without it serving the purpose of titillation. Did anyone watch Schindler's List ten times for sexual kicks because it depicts Jewish Holocaust victims stripped naked on their way to the "showers"? Or are most people mature enough to see the scene as a true-to-life depiction of the depravity and inhumanity of the Nazis?

We have stumbled into their trap.

If you don't agree that something none of us have seen needs banning you are a peado defender. Straight off the Qanon playbook.

I understand this show to be very edge of the envelope and more of a parody of the Qanon types sexualising everything, but the idea that Netflix are making and selling child porn is as ludicrous as the satanic cult of peados using pizza as code.

I've seen elements of it from the commentariat on the right, people are going around with an unfounded and disgusting accusation that Joe Biden is a pedophile. Utterly disgusting. But they'll happily vote for a creepy old guy who talks about his own daughter in sexcual terms and once said of a pre-teen girl "in a few years I'll be dating her."

Yet they completely ignore that a court case was filed against Trump for the alleged rape of a 13 year old girl with Epstein and that Trump is almost certainly a serial rapist and certainly a known sexual predator

The American right, and indeed the right anywhere, gives not a flying shit about victims of paedophilia, rape or sexual assault, they openly indulge those crimes

Not a peep out of the American right about systematic forced hysterectomies on immigrant women at ICE camps:

What comes after forced sterilisations?

Gript took up the story simply because Aontu did three months after the mainstream press. They have no interest in it beyond propaganda for the Catholic right.

Have no time for Nolan, but what is the problem with wearing a mask into the shop.  If it contributes to a XX% reduction in the spread of infection; if social distancing contributes XX% reduction; handwashing and basic hygiene, x%; etc.  All these small things come together to reduce the risk. 

The disease didn't spread during lockdown because people generally adhered to the guidance.  It's spreading now and you can clearly see an increased complacency and some seriously selfish attitudes.  The same people will know all about it in 6 weeks if intensive care facilities cannot cope.

Maybe the store owner was made fully aware of what Nolan was doing and they support his campaign due to the high level of ignorance of a minority of people going into their stores. The staff in those stores wear face masks

Whatever of the garage/permission or your opinion of big Nolan, the mask issue needed highlighting. It obviously led to new legislation, so that is a good thing.

Maybe he forgot it ? Has happened to me a few times. Maybe the fella is exempt

Yes maybe some are exempt. But the people Nolan confronted had no reason for not wearing one. They forgot, didn't want to or clearly didn't give a f**k.

The exemption thing is a load of oul balls. Exemption might wash if you were working a shift wearing one but very little going to happen to someone with a respiratory issue if they wear a mask for 5 mins to nip in to pay for fuel or grab a bag of crisps. I have got out of the car and forgotten to put the mask on but anyone halfway orgsnised has a mask or a stash of masks in the car so don't be a lazy cnut and go back and get it. People make out that wearing a mask is like splitting the atom.

Well let me add to the mix..... I have watched more people going into places with masks on and not sanitising their hands, which in my opinion is worse.

Again some people use their own and sanitize before going in.. I much prefer a place that has the automatic one rather than a hand pumped version. the step one also is good.. some shops just have a spray type god knows what they are filling it with! smells like shit sometimes !

So having your own, and knowing its the correct type is probably better

Have no time for Nolan, but what is the problem with wearing a mask into the shop.  If it contributes to a XX% reduction in the spread of infection; if social distancing contributes XX% reduction; handwashing and basic hygiene, x%; etc.  All these small things come together to reduce the risk. 

The disease didn't spread during lockdown because people generally adhered to the guidance.  It's spreading now and you can clearly see an increased complacency and some seriously selfish attitudes.  The same people will know all about it in 6 weeks if intensive care facilities cannot cope.


No it's not worth noting.

Why would it be worth noting that people did not wear masks when they were in lock down?

I have no love for Nolan but the question about people who are exempt he answered on his show yesterday. He indicated that the first question he asked anyone was why they were not wearing a mask?  If they replied they were exempt he accepted them on their word. He wanted to get a reaction and your man walking away from him was the reaction he wanted. M sure if your man had turned round and said I meant to put it on and only got it on as I went into the shop then there would have been no issue. The fact your man walked away created the story.

I have gone to the shop and forgotten my mask and it's crap and you feel like a leper but I understand why it has to be done. To be honest I've more or less self isolated till the whole shebang is sorted. No f**king point and I can work away merrily from home.

Worth noting that nobody went anywhere during lockdown.

The mask thing was introduced so as some steps towards normality could be taken regarding social interaction whilst still trying to maintain control of virus transmission.

The fact that people can't seem to cope with this tiny imposition on their lives is incredible.  These are exactly the same people who will spouting the faux concern for the "shopkeepers and small businesses"  But at the same time railing against the very measures which are in place to facilitate these businesses continuing to trade.

I appreciate that people forget masks, but those who actively refuse to wear them are just total scumbags IMO.

There needs to be some kind of system for those who are exempt from wearing a mask. Something akin to the blue badge for parking, that way there is accountability for wearing them and people can then confidently withhold services or whatever from someone who is not complying.

This is too serious for people just to do whatever they feel like.

I agree, but that costs money and there's none to spare.
The police need to take a zero tolerance approach to everyone.....for those who are genuinely exempt, let them appeal the fixed penalty. If its genuine, they should be able to supply supporting evidence to the appeal.
I think that would be less of an overhead to put in place.

Exactly, since the mask stops someone giving you the virus then nobody should be exempt. If you are unable to wear one then stay out of public buildings. I expect most people could be provided with a different design of mask or whatever, but if not then have the shopping delivered.

Waters is a deeply angry man who as he gets older longs more and more for an increasingly distant youth and an "old Ireland" which he now imagines to be a magical golden era

He is trapped in a De Valera comely maidens dancing at the crossroads fantasy

Even before he went loop the loop, there was a deep nostalgia and sickening sentimentality in his writing - I mean for the words "sickening sentimentality" to be read in the voice of Robbie Coltrane in Cracker when he was ridiculing the mindset of a murderer to his face

I think he longs for it to be 1936, except with the internet, diesel cars and rural electrification - don't know about inside bathrooms, he looks like he doesn't use them very much

In the absence of a time machine and LSD, Waters has found an outlet in blood and soil fascism and the cult like sense of identity it gives him

But this blood and soil fascism is deeply entwined with US far right libertarianism - it makes no sense on one level, but on another level it makes perfect sense, as fascism has always been a trojan horse for entrenched business interests

But the most important thing is "team, team, team", the Douglas Murrays and Stefan Molyneuxs and other head the balls he takes his cue from are saying the same things, so he follows

It's the only way he can find any sort of identity or meaning in life now

It's pretty tragic to watch

It's not criminalising anyone, just like a speeding ticket doesn't criminalise anyone. It's a penalty for not following regulations. There's already an appeals process in place for parking tickets, speeding tickets etc so it would be relatively easy to extend the appeals process without the costly expense of having to create an entirely new system to manage exemptions.

I would imagine the genuinely ill and disabled will follow the regs and wear masks if they can as they are the people most at risk.

Eh why?
I don't know what you mean by armbands....perhaps I missed something in the thread. But to come up with a system to accurately assess people for exemptions will be costly and time consuming. We don't have the luxury of time or money.
Blanket rule across the board for wearing masks and for those minority who have a genuine reason to not wear a mask, they can appeal the fine. It would be quick to put in place and easy to implement as there's already an appeals process for things like parking and speeding tickets.
This process would only be an issue for those who have no reason not to wear a mask but refuse to do so. People who have no regard for the health or wellbeing of the majority. IMO, they deserve a fine.

Of course it's criminalising them.  Your speeding tickets analogy would only make sense if the police were going around issuing speeding tickets to drivers who never exceeded the speed limits.

The law provides exemptions from wearing masks and yet you propose fining those people who avail of the exemptions set out in law.

You clearly haven't considered that part of the reason for the exemptions in the first place is to protect those suffering from mental and psychologicial conditions that may be aggravated by the wearing of a mask.

But thats my point. He pines for a day when everyone did what they were told and listened to their socisl betters whether it be the priest or the doctor or whomever. Individalism killed this community spirit.

So why is he arguing to ignore community health and be an individual?

He could easily join Aontua who seem to be much more in tune with his beliefs. I do not for a second believe Waters wants unicorns banned (think about that), the troubles was a setup, Jimmy Guerin paid the Gardai to murder his sister because she was onto his heroin empire, bleach cures autism and the assorted other mental shit she spews. So why is he there?

You clearly haven't considered that part of the reason for the exemptions in the first place is to protect those suffering from mental and psychologicial conditions that may be aggravated by the wearing of a mask.

The mask isn't about the person wearing it, it is about protecting other people. You can't allow someone endanger other people because they don't like wearing a mask. If you are unable to wear a mask then stay at home.

The law allows just that, and for good reason.

You can't tell a certain cohort of vulnerable people to stay at home indefinitely.

People have no problem telling people who might get Covid to stay at home, so why can you not tell people who refuse to use the measures to prevent the spread of Covid to stay at home?
You don't have to stay at home, you can walk about, so long as you don't go into buildings or buses where masks are required.

Do you also think that blind people should be allowed drive cars, because they are a vulnerable cohort?

There is no law that makes it illegal for people who might get Covid to go outside or attend to their normal business. You are proposing such a law for people who for whatever reason cannot wear masks. Thankfully no such law will ever see the light of day, so our discussion is moot.

Exactly, but if you chose not to wear a mask but also chose to go into locations where the regulations clearly state you should wear one, then you should get a fine.
What exemptions are there from wearing a mask? I mean, what medical condition is so severe that you cannot wear a face covering for what ever number of minutes you would be in a shop? Very few I would think.
Lots of people abusing the "exemption" and very few actually exempt.
If you get a fixed penalty for not wearing a mask and you have an underlying condition which would genuinely prevent you wearing one, an appeals process can be used to refund your money.
The approach is used for parking/speeding tickets. If you are found illegally parked or speeding and get a fine, you can appeal that fine and if it is found there is good reason why you were speeding or illegally parked or if the officer issuing the fine did so in error, the fine is rescinded. Why would this approach be a problem when there is such a high risk to everyone in society?

I stole this off a facebook page and I think it accurately sums it up. The post is from a nurse:

So crazy how me and every single person that works at my hospital have normal oxygen levels when we're required to wear an n95 mask, surgical mask over it, and a face shield.
So weird that women/family I know GAVE BIRTH while wearing a face mask and their oxygen was okay.
Incredible that my 90 year old patient can perform strenuous activities while wearing a mask and her oxygen is okay.
Amazing that actual patients recovering from covid can tolerate wearing a mask all day.
So if you're an anti mask person, instead of making up fake facts about you oxygen dropping while wearing a flimsy cloth mask, just stop lying and say that you just don't care if other people die because of you. ✌🏻

Having this argument with a workmate who refuses to wear a face mask - he maintains that it is not the law to have to wear a face covering? I argue on the other hand that it is in fact a legal requirement that you have to wear one. He thinks because it hasn't been through the full rigours that a law goes through therefore you don't have to wear one.

I was in Homebase without a mask a few days ago and the police were there also. I wasn't even challenged so I'd say your workmate is correct.

Gemma O'Doherty and John Watters reckon the troubles were staged.
https://twitter.com/aciquestion/status/1314558950155657218

It is a bit sad to see someone parade an illness in public.

She's hit a new low.

There is a lot of competition for that title. We can argue all night as to whether she is deranged or cynical, or both. But i cannot figure out why Waters is still involved.

He argued for decades that Ireland lost its sense of community to individualism. Now he is arguing the opposite. Individual rights trump social cohesion and public health. Its a total reversal and he cannot believe the shite she comes out with.
Waters is a deeply angry man who as he gets older longs more and more for an increasingly distant youth and an "old Ireland" which he now imagines to be a magical golden era

He is trapped in a De Valera comely maidens dancing at the crossroads fantasy

Even before he went loop the loop, there was a deep nostalgia and sickening sentimentality in his writing - I mean for the words "sickening sentimentality" to be read in the voice of Robbie Coltrane in Cracker when he was ridiculing the mindset of a murderer to his face

I think he longs for it to be 1936, except with the internet, diesel cars and rural electrification - don't know about inside bathrooms, he looks like he doesn't use them very much

In the absence of a time machine and LSD, Waters has found an outlet in blood and soil fascism and the cult like sense of identity it gives him

But this blood and soil fascism is deeply entwined with US far right libertarianism - it makes no sense on one level, but on another level it makes perfect sense, as fascism has always been a trojan horse for entrenched business interests

But the most important thing is "team, team, team", the Douglas Murrays and Stefan Molyneuxs and other head the balls he takes his cue from are saying the same things, so he follows

It's the only way he can find any sort of identity or meaning in life now

It's pretty tragic to watch

But thats my point. He pines for a day when everyone did what they were told and listened to their socisl betters whether it be the priest or the doctor or whomever. Individalism killed this community spirit.

So why is he arguing to ignore community health and be an individual?

He could easily join Aontua who seem to be much more in tune with his beliefs. I do not for a second believe Waters wants unicorns banned (think about that), the troubles was a setup, Jimmy Guerin paid the Gardai to murder his sister because she was onto his heroin empire, bleach cures autism and the assorted other mental shit she spews. So why is he there?
I think there's a bizarre cognitive dissonance at the heart of a lot of right-wingers where they hold contradictory views simultaneously

They want everybody to be obedient yet claim to be for individual "freedom"

But it's a very negative type of freedom, a libertarian, right-wing American version of "freedom", the sort that leads to oligarchy

The sort of "freedom" where the factory owner is free to pollute a river or blow noxious smoke over the homes of ordinary people without consequence (there's an obvious similarity here to Waters' desired Covid situation of people being "free" to infect others or not worry about many, many thousands of people being infected or our health service being overwhelmed)

Or the "freedom" of shop owners to refuse to serve people for arbitrary reasons like skin colour or religion or sexual orientation

I think freedom is most of the most abused words in the English language, social democracy done well leads to a much more genuine type of freedom than American right-wing "freedom!!!!" ever can or will

Perhaps in a round about way Waters' cognitively dissonant position makes a strange type of sense in that that version of American style libertarian negative "freedom" inevitably leads to untrammeled power for the already powerful - which is what he desires

Of course when media organisations exercise their freedom to not platform him it drives him around the twist

But I might also be giving him too much credit in terms of having a coherent position because I think he's genuinely gone round the twist and has been radicalised into a hard right position by the internet, and those people can see nothing else except "team right-wing", none of it has to make sense, as long as "his side" (Trump, Farridge, Orban, Fox News, the Daily Telegraph, Spiked Online etc.) is saying something, that's what he'll say

I also think he's riding Gemtrails

Let's just try and forget that last line

In Ireland, shops, restaurants, etc have been asked to refuse entry to anyone wearing a mask.

In workplace office settings you can sit at your desk without a mask if there is nobody within 2 meters. But if you get up to move anywhere you need to put on a mask.

I don't think either of those are laws. But the business owner can legally refuse entry to people who refuse to follow the rules.

In short, Drew Harris arranged the murder because 'Aidan O'Donoghue had to die' but she admits she has no idea why. The reason she believes the Garda Commissioner who was appointed in 2018 arranged the murder of a Garda in 2013 is 'because they are corrupt'. Thats it.

I wouldn't be surprised if she deliberately uses this as an opportunity to enrage the Gardai to get them to have a go at her. She is a dangerous wagon, a female Willie Frazier. I've no doubt the Brady family really didn't want her to be sticking her horrible face into this. There are issues surrounding this conviction, I am not going to go into my feelings on it as it's too close, but this horrible **** is the last thing that either the victims family or the Brady family need about it.

There was a logic to Wullie. It was madness, but there was a thread through it. Gemmeroids is insulting as many people as possible in any given situation which leads to an incoherent mess. For example Covid is, depending on her mood, a hoax, a chemical weapon released by China and/or the US, the flu or a legitimate virus that is either safe or lethal, being used by the lizard commies to blah blah.

Wullie would have blamed the Ra and stuck with it.

Possible. Or she simply cannot process that she was arrested so is taking aim at the Gardai by fair means or otherwise.

The Brady family spokesperson is interesting, and he made no effort to disassociate from the nutters. Kealon Harrington is ex army and French Foreign Legion and well known for the Going the Extra Mile charity. There are unsubstantiated rumours his move to Australia was connected to financial questions over the charity, but that is just that.

Its an odd one.

There was some news item on there about Irish language street signs. It finished by mentioning the cost. All in - about £1000 per sign.
That's a lot of dough to get a bit of tin stuck on a gable wall.

£950 for bullshit "consultation" to see if the inhabitants are bigoted in that street, and £50 to erect the sign.

To be fair, the cost of a fada is astronomical.

While there couldn't be anything on the same scale, I'm sure many on here are aware of land/will issues that caused mayhem within families.

Yeah it's more than just Christmas tree lighting. The whole length of Bow Street has overhead lighting.  That then creates a sort of show, in time with the music.  It isn't bad, but that's a hefty cost.

If it's not written down in the land registry held by Land & Property Services in the north (same in the south ) then the right of way does not exist (I think).

Having said that, some local history societies try to keep rights of way valid by walking them every so often.

From The Mystery Of Tally-Ho Cottage by Enid Blyton;

Frederick ("Fatty") is disguised as an Indian citizen.

"Fatty went off down to the river, and made his way along the river-path. He only met an old lady
with a dog, and she gazed at him uneasily. Was he going to snatch her handbag? But he passed
quickly, and she heaved a sigh of relief."

f**k me pink, he wasn't shot because he was black ffs. He was shot because he lunged at a Guard with a knife and after beating up a supermarket employee beforehand.
From the video it looked like he was shot in the back

Serious questions to be asked

It's really weird how a lot of people on the internet are rushing to justify it without knowing all the facts

I've no doubt that this was dangerous individual. I do wonder though if they can tranquillise a rhinoceros with a dart why something similar is not feasible in this case.

Takes a good 5-10 minutes for most tranquilisers to work. Be a bit of a wait between shooting a lad and him hitting the deck.

The ERU aren't called for the craic.

He threatened the public, twice in one day with a knife (one with a facial injury).

Not hard to imagine where the probabilities of what happened next was likely to happen. The ERU won't have been briefed this was a guy not right in the head prior. They cannot shoot their weapon unless under threat or a series of pre existing boxes have been ticked. Colour is not one of those.

For someone with a knife, could you not just keep out of his road for the 5 minutes, or throw a net over him?
A gun would be totally different, of course.

That's not the question you should be asking it. It should be can you reasonably be expected to do that without incurring serious injury or worse.

Unless your assailant will happily volunteer his age, weight and known allergies the tranquilliser is just as likely to be lethal or stone useless.

They are trained to shoot the mass of the chest and torso. More likely to hit and for bullet to be stopped, therefore less chance of it travelling through and hitting someone else.

The legs also have major arteries in them.

Yeah, I know it would be preferable to "wing" an assailant but everyone should know by now it's pretty much a global standard that marksmen go for centre mass.

A person's weight and age can be reasonably guessed by looking at them. If a person has allergies and dies, then that cannot be helped.

True story. Jim Shannon once stopped me at the top of Royal Avenue, City Hall side, asking me for directions to the Ulster Hall. Very polite, no complaints about his attitude. Was around 2001, maybe even before he was MP, but I knew he was public representative due to my job, whether councillor or MLA.  I always thought it ironic an unrepentant Fenian bastard had to tell a unionist bigot how to get to the scene of some of the most hate filled anti-Irish diatribes in nearby Bedford Street. Surreal.

You really have to wonder how we have arrived at this stage in society where people decide to chuck heavy bricks / stones randomly into traffic for no apparant reason other than badness.

You look round Europe and they all have nice amenities for the public - electric scooters, bikes for hire etc  - here - they get casually destroyed, as easy as breathing.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/news/covid-19-accused-ni-gym-owner-trainor-hands-bloody-birth-certificate-into-court-40002585.html

QuoteA JUDGE was left shocked after a gym owner accused of breaching coronavirus regulations handed a birth certificate with what is believed to have been his bloody thumbprint on it into court.

District judge Eamon King told Newry Magistrates Court on Wednesday he had been given a number of items by Co Down man Declan Trainor, including a birth certificate "with a thumbprint on it... it looks like a bloody fingerprint".

Judge King said the document, which came with a postage stamp and a red seal, read: "I am settler Declan Trainor and do take control of the dominion Declan Trainor."

Rosie Fitzpatrick, the defendant's solicitor, said that she could "only apologise" for the incident.

The judge replied: "There's no need for that. Can you tell him to stop handing in rubbish?"

Not to be dramatic about it but that has setback the psni by years and quite frankly makes it look untenable if there is to be such a disparity in how one "side" is treated vs the other.

I agree totally.  In truth, the psni are all-over-the-place when you think back to the BLM protests v 'protect our British Statues' protests and the action that did/didn't follow and now this evening in Belfast - a 'wreath-laying ceremony', with arrests/agression that did/didn't happen v the blatant UDA/UVF 'parade'.

Sometimes, I don't think that the native Irish/nationalist 'voice' fully realises the 'power' that we could have if we started writing letters etc to our political representatives and also psni etc.  Have confidence in our own worth.

Lots of people in the North still feel uneasy or embarrassed about expressing their desire for a new united Ireland because for all our lives the media has cast such ideas as being sectarian, dangerous, pro-IRA or just plain stupid.  Everything official still starts from a pro-British viewpoint.  People talk about the Unionist majority being eroded or potentially changing but this has already happened.  It's time to stop hiding and shout from the rooftops.  A New Ireland is needed, A 32 County Ireland, were we can take what's best from each side of the border and create a better country for everyone.  The Time is Now!!

For those that don't believe me?  Here's a few stats.

In the 2019 Westminster Election a minority of the seats were won by Unionist Candidates 8/18

In the 2019 Westminster Election a minority of the votes were cast for Unionist parties 43.0%

In the 2019 Local Elections, Unionists were in a minority on Belfast City Council winning less than a third of the seats 19/60

In the 2017 Stormont Assembly Election, a minority of seats were won by Unionist candidates 40/90

In the 2011 Census, A minority of the population were Protestant or brought up Protestant (48%)  This will reduce again in this years census

In the 2011 Census, A minority of the population had a British National Identity (48%)  This will reduce in this years census.

"Controversy over commemoration[edit]

Speaking in 2014, Stephen Travers, a survivor of the Miami Showband massacre, spoke out about the erection of a banner in Moygashel's main street honouring Somerville. Travers expressed his hope that the banner would remain permanently in order to shame those who erected it and to pose a question to Moygashel parents, if they wanted their children to grow up like Somerville.[22] Travers in 2016 offered to meet those responsible for the banner to justify Somerville's glorification.[23] In 2017 a man was arrested after removing and stealing the banner.[24] A Moygashel residents' spokesman stated the people of Moygashel were in support of the banner and it would be re-erected upon its return. The spokesman also said that the banner had been erected every year previous without any incident. Relatives of Somerville's victims had requested the PSNI take down the banner.[25] However, when a new banner was later made and erected, the PSNI stated the banner was legal as no crime had been committed. This was heavily criticised by Stephen Travers. A Moygashel Residents' Association spokesman said the community were happy with the new banner, rejected the notion Somerville was a terrorist and proclaimed him as very much a part of the Protestant culture of Moygashel.["

Yeah the "revelation" at the end about the lid...FFS!! If they had just mentioned that little detail at the start it would have just made the entire documentary utterly pointless. Seems they just left it to the end so as to enable them to spend three long, repeditive episodes pretending there was a mystery or element of doubt as to whether or not anyone else was involved in her death. Ridiculous!

The story says that there were 27 people in the SUV!!

Assuming its confirmed, how the f**k is that even possible?

Another story has a photo.

It looks like an old Ford Explorer or Excursion or something. Maybe there was a bunch of people in a trailer or something. Looks like a farming region.

Also not funny at all, because last week a man was sent to jail for killing his 'mate' with a single punch.

It's quite simple really.

As soon as you put your fists up to punch someone, you risk the one-punch death scenario.

I would hazard a guess and say these two who were fighting in Castle street will not die from one punch, more likely drug overdose or alcohol poisoning.

From my work I see those lads blattering away, then having a go at the police when they arrive.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/03/11/hydrogen-revolution-real-will-change-world/

Hydrogen is the clean energy of the future, and always will be, or so runs the old joke. After three false starts in 50 years, one slips easily into cynicism about the EU's pietistic green targets and voguish talk of the post-fossil hydrogen economy.

But cynics are not always right. The message from hard-headed industrialists at this year's "energy Davos" surprised even those who keep up with this fast-moving technology. The switch to hydrogen is a fact on the ground; it is accelerating fast; it is heading for much lower costs than sceptics suppose; and future scale is vast.

Along the way, the oil "supermajors" are reinventing themselves for net-zero life, finding a green raison d'être by deploying their engineering and offshore know-how to lock carbon underground and unlock hydrogen above ground. They are no longer the perennial climate villains depicted by the green Taliban. Subtler moral judgment is required.


Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are also reinventing themselves, aiming to become mass global exporters of zero-carbon fuels for ships, aircraft, or Asian power plants. Abu Dhabi is already developing desert solar power for $1.35 per kWh, tantamount to free energy. This will be converted into hydrogen by Siemens through electrolysis to make clean synthetic jet fuel. Carbon-free air travel is in sight.

Seifi Ghasemi heads the US conglomerate Air Products, the world's biggest commercial producer of hydrogen. He manufactures mostly dirty "grey hydrogen" from fossils for refineries, industrial uses, or to make ammonia for fertilizers.

Ghasemi is hardly a green romantic. Aged 76, he knows his hydrogen and has seen it all. His conclusion is that this cycle is different from past episodes. Net-zero targets and the Sino-Western hydrogen race have changed the political landscape, and with it the cost calculus. So have rising carbon prices. EU emissions contracts have doubled since October to nearly €42 a tonne. This really bites.

Air Products is going for broke on clean hydrogen, not just the "blue" variant made from natural gas with carbon capture, but also pure "green" hydrogen from renewables. "We are putting in $10bn of our own money," he told the IHS CeraWeek forum.

First in line is a colossal venture at Saudi Arabia's NEOM project harnessing wind and solar from the Gulf of Aqaba to generate four gigawatts of power. This will be turned into green ammonia, a form of liquid hydrogen that can be shipped in tankers. Saudi Arabia has already dispatched its first trial load of ammonia to Japan for use in a power plant.


"The way we see the future, in 20 to 40 years from now, all the energy that mankind uses will come from wind, solar, and hydro. Forty per cent of this will be used directly to power electric vehicles, heating, light, air conditioning, and cooking. The rest will be used to break down water and produce hydrogen. That will be the source of energy to drive trucks, ships, trains, and industries like steel," he said.

That sums it up in a nutshell. You move through the gears, first displacing natural gas as a dispatchable back-up for renewables, then reaching cement, fertilizers, chemicals, or heating for buildings. The scissor-action of falling hydrogen prices and rising carbon prices brings one sector after another into range.

The scale of money in soccer is WTF.
Bohs got a 10% cut of Matt Doherty's recent transfer.
Look at what just 10% can do in the real world of the League of Ireland

https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2021/0311/1203469-bohemians-investing-doherty-windfall-into-new-dcu-base/

Bohemians will invest their slice of Matt Doherty's transfer fee from Wolves to Tottenham into a new base at Dublin City University.

The League of Ireland side earned an estimated €1.7m when their former full-back switched clubs last summer, due to a 10% sell-on clause negotiated when they sold him to Wolves for €80,000 in 2010.

Bohs plan to invest €1.5m of that over the course of an 18-year lease at the DCU Sports Campus on the Ballymun Road, including building a gym, an all-weather football training pitch, meeting rooms and offices.

The club said they will work closely with the university to "further develop what is already a world-class facility", which will also continue to be used by Dublin GAA and other community groups.

"We have a strategic plan as a club, and I suppose what the Matt Doherty money enabled us to do was speed up this process," said the club's Chief Operation Officer Daniel Lambert.

Nobody on Kildare FM seems to have a Kildare accent. I used to go to Naas as a kid to stay with my aunt and there was a very distinctive accent at the time eg Faader and Brudder but KFM is more Dublin/Midatlantic.
The Kildehr accent is verry flah

Which I suppose is appropriate enough

Shooting in Kanturk, Cork - 3 dead. Dispute over land from reports on Twitter. WTF??
Irish Times seem pretty certain that this was a joint operation and well planned by the father and youngest son. Murdered the eldest son in his bed then joint suicide.
Absolutely horrific.

While there couldn't be anything on the same scale, I'm sure many on here are aware of land/will issues that caused mayhem within families.
I see the mother has passed away from her illness.
House, land and all still there of course.

That loyalist community council or whatever you call them. They're running round like they're some kind of important legitimate organisation and are getting traction in the media too. They're nothing but scumbags who terrorise their own community never mind anyone else's. Good to see the relative of victim at least stand up to them a bit today. Very few in the political community seem to be doing that.

Another example of a leftie with a right wing solution. The railway network will unfortunately never come back to Donegal. Public transport is very limited, pretty much non existant in Donegal. In a village called Fintown, they have a mile stretch of railway & a train which Donegal kids can ride on, a kind of local tourist attraction. Young fellas rallying cars on back roads late at night is common in most rural areas. Inishowen is particularly bad for young lads rallying, seems to be a cultural right of passage "to wreck a car sir".
High insurance costs aren't prohibitive as young lads will either drive without insurance or just pay up, as without a car they can get no where. Donegal people in general are among the most non-compliant in the ROI, you only have to look at the covid figures, water rates when they were brought in etc. I have to say overall I do like Donegal people generally decent & good fun.

A huge culture of non compliance in Donegal. County is a bit of a kip as well. Needs a lot of investment and as I have said before, as a tourist destination it is one of the most overrated anywhere in the world.

As regards the tourist destination comment, you are way out of line. Your the man who went to Downings & never visited Tramore beach or probably the most beautiful beach in the world "The Murder hole". Not to mention 3 other secluded beaches in the area. And thats just Downings. Donegal is the most under-rated county in Ireland for such untamed beauty form the Poisoned Glen, Doochary, Glenveagh, Highest cliffs in Europe, beaches, lakes, mountains, golf courses, bogs, its stunning. It can be quaint & certain small businesses don't have methods of contactless payements, such is life, I think that adds not subtracts from the experience. Off to Magaluff with you, maybe read a book on Donegal, it might broaden your horizons. You even complained about the weather the last time, the north-west can do f all about its crap weather.
What part of the wannabe free state are ya from? Is Portrush better than Portsalon? Is the Giants Rip off Causeway better than Slieve League? Is Sliabh Donard better than Mount Errigal & the 7 peaks challenge? Are Donegal people more friendly than ones from the Falls / Shankhill road? Did you go to Glen Bar, a village neeat Downings, drink a pint & eat a top class dinner. The only places that come close to Donegal for shear rugged beauty are the Catskills, Aspen Glenwood Springs, Boulder areas of the Rockies, parts of Norway.
As they say in Donegal "you have your sh%te" I'd  nearly show you around next time your up, you will have to take off your blind fold & leave your hotel room.

They should bring back Donegal's old railway network and ban young fellas from driving.

Another example of a leftie with a right wing solution. The railway network will unfortunately never come back to Donegal. Public transport is very limited, pretty much non existant in Donegal. In a village called Fintown, they have a mile stretch of railway & a train which Donegal kids can ride on, a kind of local tourist attraction. Young fellas rallying cars on back roads late at night is common in most rural areas. Inishowen is particularly bad for young lads rallying, seems to be a cultural right of passage "to wreck a car sir".
High insurance costs aren't prohibitive as young lads will either drive without insurance or just pay up, as without a car they can get no where. Donegal people in general are among the most non-compliant in the ROI, you only have to look at the covid figures, water rates when they were brought in etc. I have to say overall I do like Donegal people generally decent & good fun.

A huge culture of non compliance in Donegal. County is a bit of a kip as well. Needs a lot of investment and as I have said before, as a tourist destination it is one of the most overrated anywhere in the world.

As regards the tourist destination comment, you are way out of line. Your the man who went to Downings & never visited Tramore beach or probably the most beautiful beach in the world "The Murder hole". Not to mention 3 other secluded beaches in the area. And thats just Downings. Donegal is the most under-rated county in Ireland for such untamed beauty form the Poisoned Glen, Doochary, Glenveagh, Highest cliffs in Europe, beaches, lakes, mountains, golf courses, bogs, its stunning. It can be quaint & certain small businesses don't have methods of contactless payements, such is life, I think that adds not subtracts from the experience. Off to Magaluff with you, maybe read a book on Donegal, it might broaden your horizons. You even complained about the weather the last time, the north-west can do f all about its crap weather.
What part of the wannabe free state are ya from? Is Portrush better than Portsalon? Is the Giants Rip off Causeway better than Slieve League? Is Sliabh Donard better than Mount Errigal & the 7 peaks challenge? Are Donegal people more friendly than ones from the Falls / Shankhill road? Did you go to Glen Bar, a village neeat Downings, drink a pint & eat a top class dinner. The only places that come close to Donegal for shear rugged beauty are the Catskills, Aspen Glenwood Springs, Boulder areas of the Rockies, parts of Norway.
As they say in Donegal "you have your sh%te" I'd  nearly show you around next time your up, you will have to take off your blind fold & leave your hotel room.

Lol. The place is a kip, and it's about time someone called stop on this "Donegal is the most beautiful place in the world" nonsense.

The Mourne is nice, did the 7 peaks twice, had the kids up at Santa in the Mournes a few years back, very enjoyable. Newry is a bit rough all the same, was at a wedding there about 10 years ago, can remember some paramedics getting attacked in the back of an ambulance as they treated a bloodied man.

You can do a walk from Ards Friary to Ards forest park via the coast or through the forestry that's pretty special. The beach (cove) at the intersection is pretty spectacular.

I mind a boy I knew from school going into one of the halls and he was saying he went into the communal bathroom and there was a big dump on the floor. Lovely :o

Likely paying a fortune for the place too.

Look it's safe and close and it has made her very independent (though I'm paying lol) one more payment then she's found a lovely place which is half the price near the Bot!

Stayed in Queens elms a few summers ago on a trip to Belfast,  got it on Airbnb, have to say excellent set up, rooms spacious very comfortable, I think there was 3 options, I  took the middle one but was highly impressed  ,for a university halls compared to what we had down in UCC

I got lucky down there, some really decent places (for us at the time), clean and tidy and decently priced.

I seen some of the messes my friends ended up in though....It was an early lesson in first come, first served.

It really was a race to get decent digs.
The halls were just too expensive in the 90s anyway, I'm sure it's worse now. I certainly couldn't afford it but would always have loved to have had a year in them.
We had some ropey houses....one on Fitzroy took the prize for being the worst in living history. We had rats, damp, no living room....it was dire. Thinking back on it I dont know why we ever stayed in it.

We stayed a few dumps ourselves. One of our landlords really should've been arrested the gaff was so bad. Leaking roof, shower that didn't work, electric heaters that went on in summer but not in winter. Looking back I don't know why we stayed in it either.

Dogshit Ave with the crusties was a dire place.

We'd a rat too in one of the houses, feckin thing ate a full slice of bread soaked in bleach and aftershave and was still kicking till it got a hurl across the skull one thursday night.
It was owned by a lovely wee old couple from Fermanagh, but the house was damp as f**k, so much so we deliberately set the chimney on fire by sticking a paling post up it. The burning embers floating out over Fitzroy was like fireworks.

Laird estate agents by any chance? They had every hole in Belfast on their books.
We lived in an upstairs flat above some auld fella who complained about us making noise opening the door to our flat, collected rubbish off the street and stored it in his flat and in the back yard and tended to walk around the place in his pj's which were opened wide for ventilation and left nothing to the imagination!
We got pissed off with him and watched for him leaving one day and glued an empty beer can to the step at the front door and then sat back to watch the auld cratur try to pick it up.
I think the flats were owned by the same guy who owned the spar shop down in the hollylands. Money grabbing heur.

Nah, just a wee old couple who'd "invested" in one of those big red brick houses near the top of Fitzroy. I think we'd six in the flat paying £45 per month back in the early 90's.

The lad you're talking about hovered up a load of those houses back then but IIRC he had a wee chipshop in that area that made chip butties and the likes. He'd a full time handyman flying around in a van who spent a lot of time buying beds, mattresses, cookers and the likes at auctions and god knows wherever else. I think he owns that Spar now which was called Barry's back in the day. Dear hole.

Thankfully we never stayed in any real dungeons. Halls in 1st year then Stranmillis and Holylands after that. The worst I ever was in was on Tate's Avenue that lads in the class were in. The tank in the loft flooded over Xmas and when they can came it was soaked, all the plaster came off the walls and the house looked like it was ready for demolition. The landlord refused to fix it as he blamed them. It wasn't fit for human habitation. We used to sit drinking in their living room dressed for outdoors and they eventually burnt the mantlepiece and stair rods and banister in the fire to keep warm.

Was a pic going about WhatsApp maybe a year or so ago from ones living in the holylands. Basically of a toilet that didn't function (presuming landlord never fixed it)  but still got used anyway.

The whole area should be CPO'd, regenerated & re-zoned for mixed social/private housing.

I didn't do the student life, I worked and partied in the Holylands most nights. As the lads were saying they were a complete tip, falling asleep was a hazardous and came with a health warning, the country lads were unreal, let off the lead and partied hard.

Its funny bumping into these lads 30 years down the road, business men, high up in the Civil service or teachers and while they would maybe struggle to remember me I always have a chuckle at them now and what they got up to. Its a great thing we didn't have social media back in the day or phones!

Some craic reading this
I didn't do the student life and sometimes I think I missed out but I'm not so sure !!

great craic alright, but as an asthmatic I ended up with loads of chest infections and pleurisy at one point.

Also fucked a landlord out of a house in Jesus street as he'd refused to fix the damp in the gable house we were in so we stopped paying the rent and he came on a big heavy handed with one of the other lads in the house as I walked through the door.

He threatened me with the law as he was going backwards at a rate of noughts through the same front door and it wasn't exactly a clean exit.

Ah the landlords were great men for the law until the Belfast Council and Spotlight came round one year with the cameras and the measuring tape, Declan Boyle was nailed over a load of conversions, so much so he actually entered politics shortly after if I remember correctly.

I didn't do the student life, I worked and partied in the Holylands most nights. As the lads were saying they were a complete tip, falling asleep was a hazardous and came with a health warning, the country lads were unreal, let off the lead and partied hard.

Its funny bumping into these lads 30 years down the road, business men, high up in the Civil service or teachers and while they would maybe struggle to remember me I always have a chuckle at them now and what they got up to. Its a great thing we didn't have social media back in the day or phones!

Yep!
God forbid the things our kids would find out about us if there was.
You have to feel sorry for the younger ones now who will never really have that sense of privacy again. I mean, how could they keep a girl at home for the weekends and one at uni during the week without being caught out on social media?
The world is couped.

Thankfully we never stayed in any real dungeons. Halls in 1st year then Stranmillis and Holylands after that. The worst I ever was in was on Tate's Avenue that lads in the class were in. The tank in the loft flooded over Xmas and when they can came it was soaked, all the plaster came off the walls and the house looked like it was ready for demolition. The landlord refused to fix it as he blamed them. It wasn't fit for human habitation. We used to sit drinking in their living room dressed for outdoors and they eventually burnt the mantlepiece and stair rods and banister in the fire to keep warm.

It was a gatherup house full of Prods but safe to say there wasn't much church going out of them! Youll have to name names on these Ballycastle hallions.

I'm feeling nostalgic for the Mucksavages thread (may it RIP).  :D

Anyone know how long ago that it was accessible? One of the Board's all time highlights in my time on here. In those days the Board was blocked by my employers firewall, mobile phones were either too fiddly or slow to upload (or crippling from a data perspective) so it used to be home from work and straight onto the laptop to see what gems had been added. ;D

Reading through that last few pages really brings me back to the shit holes that I lived in/stayed in on nights out back in the day. Did the Halls the first year, stayed in Shaftesbury, the woman at the time stayed in one of the towers. Jeez they were some mess!

When I got my long trousers and moved to a house we did Wellesley Ave and then Wolsley Street. It may as well have been South Armagh, East Tyrone and South Derry with the wee posh Down f**kers sprinkled around. On Wolsley street there were 3 houses from Cross and surrounding area, 2 from Tyrone and 1 Down. I remember one night the Tyrone house went on fire....some craic! 

The free for all in 'Shaws, always a f**king queue but Tommy on the door let us in if we bunked it!  Place full of jersey huggers and hallions. Some nights drinking with Bellaghy and Errigal Ciaran boys after Ulster championship games!  Then down to Hatfield for out of date beers at half price on Carry out at 3am ;D

We were actually really lucky. Right down the Lisburn road end beside the 4 in Hand....was a grand spot. Used to play 45 with a few old boys in the pub until one of the lads landed in with his gear bag....was 'advised' not to come back ;D

Would have attended the odd quiz in the 4 in Hand on a Monday night if trying to behave. Decent spot but certainly not the cosmopolitan crowd you'd get on the Lisburn Road these days.

What part of Down is posh?  Other than Holywood, donaghadee I'm struggling!

The Hatfield in the mid 90's was nothing like it is now. You needed to know the special knock at the side door to get an out of hours carryout of warm, out of date beer at above ordinary prices...

Place was stinking.

I was never a huge renshaws fan, but does anyone remember the Crescent on Sandy Row? Jeez it was some spot...2 quid in, drinks about 80p. Sawdust on the floor and and a very dodgy management.

Never did the Crescent, just didn't trust it. Would have been in Lavery's a lot mind you, Alex Higgins was a regular begging for pints there for a few stories. Was in the upstairs the night after the riots in Dublin at the Ireland England match. A few C18 boys with the spiders web tattoos on the head were pushing their way round the place. Got out quick smart!

Think I was the same. One of the lads knew the bouncers so he was able to open the doors and we ran up the back stairs. I seem to recall the bar upstairs being in the middle with a wee dance floor. Good spot on a Wednesday night. The Fly was also a great spot on a Wed night. Maybe it's nostalgia but all the old spots seemed better before their renovations.

Whats wrong with the ones at Elms? I thought they would be a decent standard considering they are Queens Halls?

It's liked a compact Japanese room, pretty basic, lovely shared kitchen, but for £500 a month her room is smaller than my living room
Sounds familiar. I remember my room in halls (probably now demolished) was basically the length of a bed with a wee cubby hole just past it that was a wardrobe and sink.

Only the posh kids stayed in the halls back in the day. We'd to slum it in the Holylands.

I got lucky down there, some really decent places (for us at the time), clean and tidy and decently priced.

I seen some of the messes my friends ended up in though....It was an early lesson in first come, first served.

It really was a race to get decent digs.
The halls were just too expensive in the 90s anyway, I'm sure it's worse now. I certainly couldn't afford it but would always have loved to have had a year in them.
We had some ropey houses....one on Fitzroy took the prize for being the worst in living history. We had rats, damp, no living room....it was dire. Thinking back on it I dont know why we ever stayed in it.

Dogshit Ave with the crusties was a dire place.

We'd a rat too in one of the houses, feckin thing ate a full slice of bread soaked in bleach and aftershave and was still kicking till it got a hurl across the skull one thursday night.
It was owned by a lovely wee old couple from Fermanagh, but the house was damp as f**k, so much so we deliberately set the chimney on fire by sticking a paling post up it. The burning embers floating out over Fitzroy was like fireworks.

Laird estate agents by any chance? They had every hole in Belfast on their books.
We lived in an upstairs flat above some auld fella who complained about us making noise opening the door to our flat, collected rubbish off the street and stored it in his flat and in the back yard and tended to walk around the place in his pj's which were opened wide for ventilation and left nothing to the imagination!
We got pissed off with him and watched for him leaving one day and glued an empty beer can to the step at the front door and then sat back to watch the auld cratur try to pick it up.
I think the flats were owned by the same guy who owned the spar shop down in the hollylands. Money grabbing heur.

Ginger cu*t , took my mate to court , for doing a runner in May. Judge dismissed the case .Local  SDLP councillor & MMM are three 'property developers ' of ill- repute in Holylands with multiple HMO status.

Crescent UDA downstairs catholic students upstairs, I darken it's door once, being a local I was wise to the joint

We went  there every Tuesday and Thursday in 95 and 96.

There was a rumour that rustled and died on a 3-4 week cycle that the UDA would be kneecapping catholics if they wouldn't  stay away. 6 tins beforehand was always enough to reroute thoughts of going somewhere else but more expensive. Then inside once again you'd quickly realise that everyone in the place was catholic, was steaming, didn't give a f**k, and was wired up happy with double gin and Hooch for £3. That, and everyone seemed to wear grey. Always.

Stole a couple of pictures off the wall one night. The girl I was walking home was freaking out that I'd get me knees done for it. Still have one of the pictures to this day. I've no idea why.

Great times.

You wouldn't have kept a Jack Russell in some of the kips on Wellesley Ave.

A Jack Russell would have been safer up those streets than down near Renshaws, bit too close to Kam Wah in botanic....

Dear god I forgot about the Kam Wah! Wee auld fella used to sit out the back and shout at everyone.
Place was stinking.

I was never a huge renshaws fan, but does anyone remember the Crescent on Sandy Row? Jeez it was some spot...2 quid in, drinks about 80p. Sawdust on the floor and and a very dodgy management.
The attic in laverys was class in the mid 90s too, a wee dingy nightclub.

Crescent UDA downstairs catholic students upstairs, I darken it's door once, being a local I was wise to the joint

We went  there every Tuesday and Thursday in 95 and 96.

There was a rumour that rustled and died on a 3-4 week cycle that the UDA would be kneecapping catholics if they wouldn't  stay away. 6 tins beforehand was always enough to reroute thoughts of going somewhere else but more expensive. Then inside once again you'd quickly realise that everyone in the place was catholic, was steaming, didn't give a f**k, and was wired up happy with double gin and Hooch for £3. That, and everyone seemed to wear grey. Always.

Great times.
Before I started going with the now missus I was playing it cool in the upstairs bar (prob in '95 too) we bumped into her and her mates in the Crescent and managed to drop a can of Carling Black Label all over her shoes  :-[. Too much MD20:20 downstairs!

Never did the Crescent, just didn't trust it. Would have been in Lavery's a lot mind you, Alex Higgins was a regular begging for pints there for a few stories. Was in the upstairs the night after the riots in Dublin at the Ireland England match. A few C18 boys with the spiders web tattoos on the head were pushing their way round the place. Got out quick smart!

Laverys was grand by local standard, the BOT back in the day, 88 was local regulars downstairs, few peelers solicitors and the south Belfast professionals while upstairs the students, where you there before the current building?

I had 1 year of the old Bot. Was never a big fan of it to be honest but would still have drunk in it regular as that's just what you did!
Think I was the same. One of the lads knew the bouncers so he was able to open the doors and we ran up the back stairs. I seem to recall the bar upstairs being in the middle with a wee dance floor. Good spot on a Wednesday night. The Fly was also a great spot on a Wed night. Maybe it's nostalgia but all the old spots seemed better before their renovations.

The bar was indeed in the middle, spent the night walking round it for a court  ;D

The feg smoke back then was rife and it with a low roof.. Bogging.

The Crescent was a shite hole on a thursday night and everyone knew it was a UDA hole, but the lure of cheap, out of date drink is too much for the culchie alco's.

Laverys was an awful kip when I was there in the late 00s. I was surprised it turned about some years later to be the spot that it appears to be now.

Mate used to work behind the bar in the Egg, some messy nights in there.

I started in 99, Bot had the bars pushed out to the walls by then. Some nights had there but probably wasn't the best place to go to be fair, pints were bad. Remember watching a Celtic UEFA cup match upstairs in it thinking they'd let us stay. Made us all get out and queue to get back in for the night.

When we started you were nearly interviewed going to the Hatfield. Different spot back then.

Jeez there's a flashback!
Used to live around the corner from the Empire, was prob in it twice a week. I loved it till one night a crowd of us were at a SLF concert in it. Must have been 97-98.
The whole place was jumping and the bouncers decided to come into the crowd to pick someone out for ejection. That started a row, bouncers started punching all round them and throwing out random people they could grab. Then about 10 land rovers of cops landed outside which just got things going right.
Kind of put me off the place a bit.

The Bot used to do a lunch time thing, a basket of wings or wedges for a pound.
I did Computers at Uni and the building was on the other side of the road, so manys a lunctime started in the bot for the cheap basket and a pint....and you'd finish up hammered at 6 oclock and hitting the Kam Wah on the way home.

Is Maggie Mays still on Botanic?

That was were all the rich students funded by Mammy & Daddy ate

Still there surely, and a facelift recently. They even opened up another place at the end of stramillis close to queens!

The one at stramillis is where my daughter meets us for lunch, hopefully when she's older she'll be me lunch!

No wonder - considering their prices.

Julies Armpit or Empire pizza were much better value back in the day

Never drank at college (90-94) so was able to go out every night, had a weekly routine, think the Chaplency was a Monday night for the Irish night, great craic. The crescent was a regular spot but never felt safe in it, the Union ran a great night (might have been Weds?), actually had my stag night in it (got married the week after my finals, think i was the only student in Belfast that was engaged at college, this partly explains why I didn't drink. The best spot was I think called The Elms, it was just before you came to Lavery's, some great bands in it, think it may have been the Thursday night spot. Lavery's was a complete no no then days, full of the Village gentlemen, Hatfield also a definite no no then, was locals only. Bishops on a Sunday evening was the great food wise, beside that was a constant diet of spuds, beans and sausages and penguin biscuits that I shared with the mice in my bedroom, except my final year I lived in Stranmillis when Sphinx and the Chinese beside it were my local chefs. Have two children up there now, really feel for them as covid has wrecked a year and a half of their college life, holy lands is full of Romanians now.

I was around the same era, Blackthorn in the Elms on.a Thursday was a big draw back then , the Fly on a Tuesday night was popular too,as were   The Bot,& Renshaws , , we would have been in the middle bar in laverys  regularly enough back then and never had any hassle to be honest . ,Spuds or Bishops being the late night eating houses

Thought the Elms was a good spot and had good times in the Bot and the Egg too. The Students Union was also hard to beat back in the mid 90's at £1 a pint.
Could never warm to Renshaws though.

The bot was a nightmare tho. We'd make plans to go other places, but after the carry out we'd all be "Naw yeah, f**k it, just go to the bot"

What about Bamboo beach club?? Shots off the waitresses stomach!! 😆

Used to like your posts. I've added you to my list of enemies.

Looking back, Jesus it was an awful place, oily walls....the floor was perma damp/wet, your feet sank into whatever bit of fabric there was. Still had some of the best nights of University there though. Fat Frogs for a 5er out of a half cleaned glass? Where would you beat it.

Unions went to shite around 2000, drink wasn't that cheap. I was in Jordanstown halls in first year and only hit the union up there a handful of times and never really warmed to Queens Union. Brother was in Queens late 80s and they lived in the unions. Said houses were cold and shit and the union was cheaper than off licenses.

UUJ union had a fry and tea for £1 in first year but it got done up after that and it went up to about £3 after that.

Cratchitts on a wed night 1990 onwards! Great spot, difficult to get into at the weekends back then, doorman was a complete tool.

Met the misses there, only bad thing I can remember  ;D

Cratchetts was hit and miss in my time.
There was a nurses night which was good.....but there was also several occasions where I finished up talking to "ladies" who were members of the young farmers association! No idea if they had a night or if it was just bad luck. lol.

This thread has turned into a "Student Live in Belfast in the 90s" thread! i like it.

The Fly before it became trendy was good. Used to be a quiz in it on a monday night where the quizmaster climbed a ladder to sit on top of the bar. Spot prizes of free pints. It used to be some mess.

I remember the M-Club opening up....I was barred out of it for about 6 months even though I'd never been in it.
First night I got in, a row broke out behind me and I got threw out with the rest of them! Finished up in Laverys those nights usually.

Did any of you students stay the weekends? Vico's was the spot on a Saturday and the limelight on a Friday night early to mid 90's, cracking tunes and the staff didn't annoy anyone.

The Duke of York upstairs on a Friday was decent too

Stayed the weekend very rarely. Needed to get home for food and the clothes washed!

Would have been to Vico's a good few times though but usually late at night! Would have went to Cratchett's the odd Sat night. Magennises was a good spot on a Friday night when I was past my student years.

Where was vicos? I remember the name but can't remember if I was in it.
Stayed up the odd time just as had a job back home.
Shine the odd time. Was in Duke of York one weekend and it was rough so didn't go back.
The weekend nightlife round home was good so I generally always went home.

I've few memories of vicos apart from falling asleep outside it one night and being woken up, carried off the road I'd made my bed, by 4 taxi men telling me how heavy I was.

Never had the stamina for late nights lol.

I just remember the inside of it being like a house with wee rooms and drinks in plastic cups. And of course the pizzas.

Where is that? That is ridiculous, I know the pubs have had extra costs and lower numbers but if those prices are maintained its hard to see trade returning to pre Covid levels.

Any of you guys frequent the Lavery's £10 "drink all you want (can? ;)) nights in the late 90s? We ended up at a couple of them and we knew one of thebarmen well. Absolute carnage and by far the worst hangover I have ever had. My mate is convinced it was nt the volume of drink but the "quality" of some of the spirits being doled out.

Never drank at college (90-94) so was able to go out every night, had a weekly routine, think the Chaplency was a Monday night for the Irish night, great craic. The crescent was a regular spot but never felt safe in it, the Union ran a great night (might have been Weds?), actually had my stag night in it (got married the week after my finals, think i was the only student in Belfast that was engaged at college, this partly explains why I didn't drink. The best spot was I think called The Elms, it was just before you came to Lavery's, some great bands in it, think it may have been the Thursday night spot. Lavery's was a complete no no then days, full of the Village gentlemen, Hatfield also a definite no no then, was locals only. Bishops on a Sunday evening was the great food wise, beside that was a constant diet of spuds, beans and sausages and penguin biscuits that I shared with the mice in my bedroom, except my final year I lived in Stranmillis when Sphinx and the Chinese beside it were my local chefs. Have two children up there now, really feel for them as covid has wrecked a year and a half of their college life, holy lands is full of Romanians now.
I was around the same era, Blackthorn in the Elms on.a Thursday was a big draw back then , the Fly on a Tuesday night was popular too,as were   The Bot,& Renshaws , , we would have been in the middle bar in laverys  regularly enough back then and never had any hassle to be honest . ,Spuds or Bishops being the late night eating houses

Thought the Elms was a good spot and had good times in the Bot and the Egg too. The Students Union was also hard to beat back in the mid 90's at £1 a pint.
Could never warm to Renshaws though.

Unions went to shite around 2000, drink wasn't that cheap. I was in Jordanstown halls in first year and only hit the union up there a handful of times and never really warmed to Queens Union. Brother was in Queens late 80s and they lived in the unions. Said houses were cold and shit and the union was cheaper than off licenses.

UUJ union had a fry and tea for £1 in first year but it got done up after that and it went up to about £3 after that.
Getting a pint and a (very small) pizza in the empire for £1 was hard to beat,  in my 
fresher year it was £0.95 a pint  out at the poly union.

£6.50 being quoted in the papers for a pint in Belfast, ......and 2 pints, 2 toastie with chips £37, in Belfast.....wtf

Where is that? That is ridiculous, I know the pubs have had extra costs and lower numbers but if those prices are maintained its hard to see trade returning to pre Covid levels.

I worked in bars at home and fellas would have said "those pints mustn't be great I was dying after it" and they managed to slap through 15 pints of it the night before.

To be fair if it's the same receipt I saw then the £6.50 pint was hoegarden (spelling) and I have never seen it not being close to £6. Peroni pints have always been a good bit dearer than the average and they were £6 on the receipt. £5.30 for a pint of tennents was the bigger outrage as it's horrendous lol.

Where was vicos? I remember the name but can't remember if I was in it.
Stayed up the odd time just as had a job back home.
Shine the odd time. Was in Duke of York one weekend and it was rough so didn't go back.
The weekend nightlife round home was good so I generally always went home.


The back of Robinsons Vico's had 3/4 floors with different tunes going on in each floor, with a guy serving free pizza downstairs, quality set up. Brunswick street

Ah yes. Was it renamed La-Lea at some point? Had a few good nights in there to be fair.
Think i remember a toilet cubicle with no lights in the corner of a dance floor. Or I could be imagining it.

I think the name is deceptive there lol. A boy in our class fell asleep in the toilets and they closed for the night. He woke up in the middle of the night and set the alarms off. Traffic light disco used to be Tuesday Bob Cratchett's in my time.

No I think La Lea started off as Franklin's Gate or something. Vico's I think was round the back of Fibber Magee's where the Joxer etc. used to be.

I have all these hazy memories of nights out in places without really knowing where it was at.

Aye!! Traffic light disco ffs!! Some craic all the same.

Larry's piano bar used to be the spot for the later drinks. Think that was before Thompson's garage days.

And BCB is accused of being a snob for eating Fajitas...

Lol I think you have wrong image of a Piano bar. Marbella it was not!!  ;D

Only went to Larrys when I was allowed to wear long trousers...and then for a boozy lunch!

Oli McBurnie from Sheff Utd caught on camera smashing a phone and giving what turned out to be a 15 year old a few slaps.

Another video shows the young lad giving him abuse beforehand.

Hard to justify his behaviour given his profession but then again it doesnt give the public free reign to say as they please.

I doubt if the kid would have said it to a regular person on the street without similar or worse happpening

Leitrim GAA unveiled a New Jersey this week with Say no to Racism as the logo on jersey. A great initiative which includes the migrants rights centre logo. Fair play.

Now Gript and John McGuirk are having at a go at this on basis that MRCI is a left wing organisation and this breaches the GAA status as been non political.

And some guys give these a listen and think they a people's voice. Just racism dressed up with far right ideals at the centre of them.

Let me get this right (no pun intended) but if you care that migrants have rights you can only be a left wing organisation?

Did anyone in the GAA tell them to fúck right off yet?

Basically yes, No to racism message from a migrant rights body is a political message and not about other humans.

I'd say Leitrim could be thrown out of the championship when the penny drops. Liberal Leitrim.

Id like to think of myself as open minded, but I really do struggle to understand this gender fluid stuff.

I heard of some celebrities in recent years saying they would let their children choose their own gender ( Paloma Faith I think).

I just cant get my head around it.

I would say it won't be long until we see the non-binary Olympics, and such events.

I've always wondered what if I wanted to be identified as a donkey? Would I be pandered to, or carted off to the nut house? Could I demand that all public places have separate toilets for us donkeys?

And more importantly, would I qualify for DLA?

Seriously??

Hitler??

Never mind (leaving aside where it all led) that Hitler was preaching hate, intolerance and racial superiority, rousing people up against minorities who were different, whereas LGBTQ people just want the right to live their lives, free from such intolerance, discrimination and condemnation.

But it's not just celebrities this will involve. Yes we're unlikely to bump into Paloma Faith and her offspring, but this will filter down to ordinary everyday people. Next thing you know you'll be walking past a couple of girls, and saying "hello girls" will be a hate crime because one of them might identify themselves as a he, they, us, we or a giraffe. Then you'll be known as the local racist, binary-ist, giraffe-ist, or whatever the f**k else-ist they invent.

A couple of generations ago, someone like this would be carted off to the funny farm.

Yep and so were single mothers isolated from society, but we've wised to f**k up, well some of us anyway.

Id like to think of myself as open minded, but I really do struggle to understand this gender fluid stuff.

I heard of some celebrities in recent years saying they would let their children choose their own gender ( Paloma Faith I think).

I just cant get my head around it.
Sick in the head the whole lot.

DUP need all the support they can get. You should reach out

I just cant get my head around it.

I always think about the impact this and anything else would impact upon me and my daily life and like gay marriages and various other binary/non binary and whatever LGBTQ+ people wish to be defined and most of the time it's zero, so fire away I say.

What I don't understand is why these so-called celebs think we give a f**k about their lives and make these announcements as if they are somehow more important than the rest of us. I couldn't give two shites what anyone else whats to do with their lives. I've enough to worry about in my own life and that of my family so I just get on with that.

"It's just that the farm takes up most of the day, and at night, I like to have a cup of tea. I mightn't be able to devote myself full-time to following other peoples life choices."

But it's not just celebrities this will involve. Yes we're unlikely to bump into Paloma Faith and her offspring, but this will filter down to ordinary everyday people. Next thing you know you'll be walking past a couple of girls, and saying "hello girls" will be a hate crime because one of them might identify themselves as a he, they, us, we or a giraffe. Then you'll be known as the local racist, binary-ist, giraffe-ist, or whatever the f**k else-ist they invent.

Really?

THAT'S the scenario at the bottom of your slippery slope?

An honest mistake with a couple of people you (presumably) don't know are going to land you with the label of "local racist"?

Leicester have been in the Premier League top four for all but seven of the last 76 matchweeks. The exceptions are weeks one, two, five, 37 and 38 of last season, and weeks 37 and 38 of this season. No other team has spent as many weeks in the top four places in that time, but Leicester keep getting elbowed out just when it counts.

Not wise the whole thing. Seen something there the other day that he spent £27,000 on specially made organic takeaways with the space of 10 months. Now I know London is expensive....

Saw that and Lohan questioning it as I also thought playing and training with someone outdoors was casual contact and not close contact.

A bit of a war of words with both camps complicated by the fallout of both managers and the fact that Davy's da didn't want Lohan in as manager in the first place.

100% down to the PSNI being happy to accept his guilty plea of a lesser charge thus letting him off with GBH with intent, knowing fine well  he'd likely get a suspended sentence. Loyalist thugs have been avoiding jail for decades due to such cosy plea deals.

Keep her money in the local Prod economy rather than shipping it down south in the pockets of those free state taig f**kers?

Let's be clear here, there is no way that she is paying for 'her' boiler.

The rest of us are picking up the tab on that one and that's the problem with this place, she thinks it's OK to get on like that while getting it all handed to her. Loyalist mindset in a microcosm there.

I never really get people who complain about the price of pints or food. If you don't want to pay those prices go somewhere else. Get a carryout, stay at home or whatever. Taking a picture and putting it on the internet - It's up there with the woman who left a bad review because the restaurant wouldn't give her just hot water and a cup so she could use her own teabag.

Don't go.

Just after watching a youtube video of "hill gate" That was the famous day Mayo beat Dublin in the 2006 All Ireland Semi Final. Btw Mayo lost the final  ;D

The way the Dubs carried on that day was disgraceful, both players & management. Pillar & Whelan are 2 big thick apes. Pillar a member of the Gardai, hitting Morrison a shoulder from behind was dangerous stuff. If he did that at a soccer match a full riot could have ensued.

Dont see what Mayo did wrong, or was it a home game for Dublin ::)

Rte of course with gobda himself Colm O Rourke spouting usual c**k & bull, sticking up for the Dubs, sure thats where the Dubs always warm up. Respect for Mayo, they fairly showed the Dubs that day.

The point is why they feel the need to charge such prices in these times and as already said there is better areas to drink and eat in the city. Any decent business owner should be going out of his way to make sure customers return.

That would be the expectation. They claim one of the reasons for their normal and high prices is to cover the cost Live music. There is no live music now and probably won't be for some time.

They've also a fraction of the customers and been shut for nearly 6 months. On top of that I would assume they have the same covid protections to put in place as any other bar/restaurant.

The whole of Kerry should be tackled first.

No. I couldn't tell you the price of pint. I'm not a penny pincher. If I go to temple bar I bring plenty of 50s or if I go to a nice hotel I know I'm paying nice hotel prices. If I go down the local for an hour, £20 might do me. I don't go to a place and moan about the price of a pint. I find it shitty. Just don't go. Or go somewhere else.

£4+ a pint down our way with the local hotel £5.10 a pint and it's far from high end.

Some lady or other has or is having an affair with Matt Hancock and she looks pretty decent!!

Who in their right mind could suppress their gag reflex for that long?

Sure Ian Og was 'getting' some! The mind boggles

Power is an amazing aphrodisiac.

So is money it seems and she and her brother were "winning" PPE contracts for the NHS.


Hancock gone but apart from being a useless liar in a coven of useless liars who set him up and why?

Buying teachers presents for the end of the school year. What a load of nonsense. Had an argument with wife over it this morning, I was dropping the kids to school and she gave me 3 bags of presents to give to the different kids teachers. I refused.
They are getting paid to teach, feck that giving them presents as well, and they now off for 8 weeks as well the shower of  @&!!€&

Just a normal sunny day spent in Belfast zoo, some torrential rain on the way back, roads suddenly became rivers, was looking forward to a good dinner in Derry city at 7.30, didn't get food till I had weetabix at 4.30 in the morning. That was a mental experience.
Was also caught in bad fog one night over Glenshane, (it was the night Bertie Fisher was killed in a helicopter crash), that was nerve wrecking in a car.

I very much doubt it was Value Cabs the corporate entity decided to release the video to the masses. Driver will, rightfully, be in quite a spot of bother I expect.

Yes and the follow up vid apparently "exonerating" him because she hit someone does no such thing. Regardless of her actions he  attempted to kick her in the face then floored her when she posed no danger to him. He will get jail hopefully

So yesterday, BBC Newsni had a report on the 5.30pm evening news about the European Supercup Final being played in Belfast, and included footage of fans enjoying the party atmosphere - footage which included Chelsea & Rangers fans signing "F**k the Pope": https://twitter.com/AntrimLens/status/1425516405626216450 (https://twitter.com/AntrimLens/status/1425516405626216450)

As if that's not incredible enough (that BBC included it in their report - not that Chealsea/Rangers fans were singing it), the BBC in response to complaints, issued a statement:

"We are confident that there was no audio of swearing on our programme tonight. However we accept that we cannot be sure of the intentions of everyone in the video and for that reason we will not run the clip again"

The WTF's raised therein:

1. Imagine denying what the footage clearly shows
2. Imagine the BBC thinks that it's just the presence of the swear word within "F**k the Pope" that has people complaining
3. Imagine not seeing the contradiction in saying that they are so confident there was no swearing in it, that they won't show the clip again.

So yesterday, BBC Newsni had a report on the 5.30pm evening news about the European Supercup Final being played in Belfast, and included footage of fans enjoying the party atmosphere - footage which included Chelsea & Rangers fans signing "F**k the Pope": https://twitter.com/AntrimLens/status/1425516405626216450 (https://twitter.com/AntrimLens/status/1425516405626216450)

As if that's not incredible enough (that BBC included it in their report - not that Chealsea/Rangers fans were singing it), the BBC in response to complaints, issued a statement:

"We are confident that there was no audio of swearing on our programme tonight. However we accept that we cannot be sure of the intentions of everyone in the video and for that reason we will not run the clip again"

The WTF's raised therein:

1. Imagine denying what the footage clearly shows
2. Imagine the BBC thinks that it's just the presence of the swear word within "F**k the Pope" that has people complaining
3. Imagine not seeing the contradiction in saying that they are so confident there was no swearing in it, that they won't show the clip again.

I hadn't actually seen this!
Unbelievable that it was aired and paints a seriously bad picture of the Beeb.
Bigoted scumbags.

It was the elephant in the room when they were discussing england stealing their anthem a few weeks ago - I couldn't believe noone pointed out the norn irn version had its own unique twist.

I think unionist culture is still so engrained at all levels in the north that it just isn't seen as an issue. Chances are those that reviewed had never heard a version without FTP in it. Nolan sets the agenda for what is and isn't worth following up anyway, so this, nor the flute band, nor many other examples of engrained sectarianism will ever be challenged properly.

saw some of the responses the BBC gave to people who complained about it and it was almost doubling down on their sectarianism;

Which is more WTF in that response:

1. The doubling down on their denial
2. The fact that they have the brass neck to claim that "the song has been associated with ni fans for many years without controversy" (it's only about 2-3 weeks since the sectarian slogan in the song last made the news here.
3. The gall to claim at the end that they take issues of offence seriously

Interestingly, the journalist who made the report, Mark Simpson, presented Radio Ulster yesterday while the controversy ranged on social media, and his main story was the match in Belfast. He and his guests and callers talked about the occasion for 45 minutes, and made no reference to the controversy. They also didn't mention the footage of a loyalist 'Kick the Pope' band leading thousands of fans to the stadium singing sectarian songs, with a police escort the whole way. Instead they talk about about how the whole occasion went perfectly to plan with no problems what-so-ever. Absolutely incredible.

Yeah it's an absolute joke.
I submitted a complaint also and got the exact same reply.
All they need to do is admit it was a mistake to show it and apologise...anything else portrays them as supporting that type of sectarian behaviour.

Perhaps it's just me and a lessening tolerance with people as I get older, but it seems like there has never been as many thick as champ people in existence. People who are so blindingly stupid, but they think they are highly intelligent.
I have a neighbour who firmly believes to this day that Covid was brought on by 5G as it's no coincidence that both happened at the same time. He's 100% convinced. And there is no rationale to his thinking and he isn't able to hold a discussion on why he believes this, but he has a smugness about him when he says you will see in time. Like he is so well informed (I can only assume via Facebook or twitter) that we will all come to agree with his superior knowledge.
Only one example, but by God the world is full of dumb f**k people these days.

Went to a physio last week who was only back post covid because he was very paranoid about the whole thing. He wanted patients to have two vaccinations which I have so that was fine. He starts talking to me and turns out he's nearly anti vax. It's like gees make up your mind mate. Hasn't left the house in over a year and then gets the vaccine then starts getting paranoid about long term effects of it. (Which he would know about as much about as the average Joe on the street too).

Yeah before they were on their own and frowned upon by everyone else (or the latte drinking wile brigade liberal elite as we're more well known by today).

But they have their own cults and groups of friends to give them validation so they go further down the rabbit hole and things get out of hand like they are getting now.

Nirvana sued by the baby from Nevermind's album cover

Elden alleges his "true identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor which has been distributed and sold worldwide from the time he was a baby to the present day".

He claims he "has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages" as a result of the artwork, including "extreme and permanent emotional distress" as well as "interference with his normal development and educational progress" and "medical and psychological treatment".

He is asking for damages of at least $150,000 (£109,000) from each of the 15 defendants, who include surviving band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic; the manager's of Kurt Cobain's estate; Cobain's former wife Courtney Love; and photographer Kirk Weddle.

He claims he "has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages" as a result of the artwork, including "extreme and permanent emotional distress" as well as "interference with his normal development and educational progress" and "medical and psychological treatment".

He is asking for damages of at least $150,000 (£109,000) from each of the 15 defendants, who include surviving band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic; the manager's of Kurt Cobain's estate; Cobain's former wife Courtney Love; and photographer Kirk Weddle.

Cover seems quite apt now with the dollar bill.......

The problem here is that nobody would know he was a random baby in a picture if he hadn't milked it recreating it, doing interviews etc. He even got it tattooed. So he brought this alledged distress onto himself really, didn't he.

Milk is now cream

There are plenty of small towns and rural areas across the US where the ravages of drugs have taken their toll too and it looks, especially in slow motion, like a scene from the Walking Dead.

A few blocks around a methadone clinic or whatever that place was doesn't mean Philly or other US cities are on their knees, despite what alt-right lowlifes like Posobiec would have you believe.

It may well be.

I've seen a similar one from Las Vegas where a taxi driver made a film down a particular cul de sac where homeless addicts congregate in a tent city.

Same scenes of people stumbling around in a haze of drugs, completely out of their minds.

I live in NYC, and I'm sure there are corners of this city like that too. Doesn't mean the city is unlivable and everyone needs to get the hell out before they're killed. Anymore than the happenings in places like, say, Killinarden made the south side of Dublin a terrible place to live when I lived there 20 years ago.

Its one of the worst sounds I've ever heard.

Another tough thing to listen to is in the 9/11 museum where they have a section which plays recordings of the final messages left by people trapped inside, some of them as they were lining up to jump rather than be burnt to death. Just ordinary people who went to work on a routine sunny morning.

Why hotel accommodation? Is there no Halls? We paid £500 a month for expensive enough halls for the first year, down to £260 now that she's staying with friend in a student house, I'll have a year of paying for two soon, which isn't great  :o

That's the whole WTF element....there actually is a massive shortage of halls or general accommodation. I listened to the radio the other day and they were saying in some Halls around the country they are paying between €250 and €300 a week!  I know in Belfast my eldest had real hassle getting a place this year, fell on his feet at the very last minute but some of the places he looked at were disgraceful. He pays £320 a month off the Ormeau road but has a really good spot. Mad how expensive it's has become

Air BnB is the issue up and down the country. With short term letting landlords can get £500 a week not £1000 per month. Same situation in coastal towns and villages, houses are almost impossible to rent.

I'm sure things are bad this year but there was always an element of this. When I was a student in Dublin 40 years ago I had to stay in the youth hostel for the first week or two. Now that resulted from a place where the landlady withdrew at the last minute, but there was always a problem matching places to people.
What may be different now is that Belfast, Limerick etc are as bad as Dublin.

390 euro a week is savage for Limerick, no wonder some students are living in tents. Locals will be renting out a small plot in fields at this rate. System is broken when that happens, no incentive to better yourself.

What is also happening in some circumstances is that the student has the room Monday to Thursday night and then the room is Air BnB for the weekend at a nightly rate. So the student gets it for €300 for 4 nights and then it's rent out for the weekend.  It's greed at the highest level. Some of the figures being spoken of is shocking and universities really are not helping it either

There is a big craze in Ireland with horse boxes converted to coffee / tea take away joints. I can see an even bigger alternative use at this rate. Failing that one of those Japanese capsule hotel type things. Joking of course.

Its a valid point.

Most people eat meat, milk and eggs as if it just materializes on the supermarket shelves by magic and not, in most cases, as a result of industrial farming, animal husbandry and slaughter.

It's the fact that they killed 1400 is the big issue though, surely there should have been some thought to stop at a point. People were obviously enjoying it to keep going.

How the police are handling the pr and press of the bloody horrendous murder of that girl Sarah everard.

So women should hail a bus? Women should know the law? How about the police force shouldn't take lightly the fact that they have an employee who was done for indecent exposure three times and has a nickname of "the rapist"?! How are people meant to trust the police after this.

Could see a older fella at the start running at someone and trying to throw a punch and someone else trying to pull him back apart from that can't see much happening. Definitely couldnt see any young lads doing any wrong. Maybe there was a fight among players and then parents/coaches got involved.

I think it was the right player. Someone played a poor enough ball to him, but Burns pretty much pulled out of the challenge and thus lost the ball.

The keeper fully deserved his red card, but Burns playacting made it look a lot worse than it was.  Knowing absolutely nothing Glentoran, I'm going to assume it's not the first time the windy defender in question has pulled out of challenges 😃

Every agreement with the British was done in two versions; our one used "Ireland" and "the United Kingdom"; their one used "the Republic of Ireland" and "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Verbal gymnastics had sometimes to be employed to avoid ambiguity in the agreement itself and trying not to say "Northern Ireland".

In August 2018, China tested the hypersonic, nuclear-capable "Xingkong-2," or "Starry Sky-2," blasting it to space and showing off the launch on state television.
Unlike a ballistic missile Hypersonic Glide Vehicles are extremely manoeuvrable, allowing them to evade tracking and defences.
If they are launched into space and re-enter to hit a target there is even less time to react.
The People's Liberation Army believes hypersonic missiles like the DF-17 and Xingkong-2 will make obsolete US missile defence systems deployed in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

Sick individuals. I have no idea what drives anyone to commit such cruelty to a child. I hope they have as much pain and misery inflicted on them as they have on this poor child. People who commit crimes against children have to be the lowest of the low. Christ knows how many others like her there are in Ireland.

We don't know. It is a more subtle lesson. It is to look for risks and realise the potential speed of change. And here one factors stands out now – the growing reliance on corporation tax, which is again a key factor in the outperformance of the exchequer this year. We are increasingly reliant on decisions taken in a couple of dozen US boardrooms and the fortunes of these companies.

The surge in corporation tax has been staggering. This year it could conceivably bring in something over €14 billion – not far off one euro in every four of tax collected, way above international or historical norms.

Corporation tax receipts have roughly doubled since 2015 and more than half of the cash comes from the 10 biggest multinational taxpayers. When you count in income taxes as well as corporation tax, foreign multinationals are responsible for about one in every three euro of tax collected.

Like Sternheim, she has been unafraid to take on difficult or unpopular cases. In 2016, she defended then Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov in a lawsuit brought by an ex-girlfriend who alleged Varlamov viciously beat her after a 2013 Halloween party. Menninger was part of the defense team that successfully kept out of court a set of graphic pictures of injuries the ex-girlfriend allegedly suffered from Varlamov. The jury sided with Varlamov and ordered the ex-girlfriend to pay $126,000 in damages.

The bomb squad raced to a hospital A&E allegedly because a man had a WW2 anti-tank shell stuck in his rectum.

They were called to give specialist support after the man presented to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital A&E with the 57mm shell in his behind, reports The Sun.

The unidentified man reportedly claimed the inert bomb was his own and that he had "slipped and fallen" on it.

A source told the newspaper: "The guy said he found the shell when he was having a clear out of his stuff.

"He said he put it on the floor then he slipped and fell on it — and it went up his a**e."

Police said the shell had been removed before they attended the scene, reports the paper.

Bomb squad officials were also apparently called.

A second source reportedly said: "It was basically an inert lump of metal, so there was no risk to life — at least not to anyone else's."

Hospital officials also said that all "relevant safety protocols" were followed and that there was no risk to any other patients, visitors or staff at the hospital.

The man is now said to be expected to make a full recovery from the unfortunate incident

So will this mean someone who's not a citizen and is traveling from Dublin to Donegal through Enniskillen or Omagh will have to do this, even if they're only passing through the six counties for an hour?

If so, surely it will mean border checkpoints at Lifford, Pettigo, Derry, Belleek, Derrylin-Belturbet, Aughnacloy etc.?

Otherwise, what's the point?

It's just so far detached from the capabilities of any right thinking individual that we cannot comprehend the thought process of someone carrying out these vile acts against defenceless children.
I don't know what the answer is.
I saw on the news last night some video footage of the child covered in bruises, the grandad had reported it to social services and nothing happened. Heads should roll for that.

Earlier this year a small 2 year old child was murdered by her mother's partner in a house approximately 200m from where we live. We didn't know them even to see, but it really hit home hard that these people can be anywhere. It really effected us as parents and our kids quickly became aware of what had happened too. The only way we could explain it to them is that there are some evil people out there.

It wouldn't make a matter what type of punishment was used, and I can think of plenty we'd like to be used on these people, it wouldn't stop it unfortunately.

People that are unfit to look after children shouldn't have children, simple. How you go about that is the hard part, continued assessment, spot checks, a points method. It won't stop that random out of the blue killing but will certainly reduce the continued abuse.

Social workers are getting a lot of flack and when they are wrong, they should be brought to task over it, but a few things to consider, their workload is way above it should be, the cases they look after won't allow them to do the job right.

Abusers are lairs, and very good at it, painting a lovely picture and ticking the right boxes.

All complaints should be thoroughly followed up by the case handler and someone who hasn't seen them before, social workers need to build rapport and confidence from their 'patients' if not they will not get what they need, another fresh eye will see things the case handler won't see.

None of this is possible if they don't fund it and encourage people into the job, I'd say its a horrible job, which has a toll on the mental health of those social workers as well.

Ah jaysus MR2, a legal minefield. Defining unfit is open to interpretation & abuse. If you split up with your missus, you could be vindictive & deem her unfit, say shes batshit . Unfit could be low IQ parents, homeless parents, poor parents, would feeding your children a poor diet be unfit, would leaving a 10 year old 10mins in the house alone while you go to local shop, not vaccinating children against Covid. Heaps of criteria & bureaucracy.
I know a case where a very active 14 month old, had a medical condition where he bruised easily, the parents were fantastic & Tulsa ended up getting involved. The mother who was a medical healthcare professional was distraught & it had a lasting effect on here mental health & over time proved that medication the child was taking for conjunctivitis caused low platelets in blood, leading to child bruising easily.
Its a difficult one regarding legalities, you have to be 100% certain abuse is taking place, before a child can be removed from parents.

I would try to stay clear of stories like these myself, I have found I am more sensitive to them since I had my own children, and seeing first-hand how innocent and vulnerable they are compounds the fact that what these people are doing is the lowest of the low. 

In terms of "unfit to look after children" it's a very open topic, and sometimes it is not necessarily abuse that would make someone unfit to care for a child, but rather how they are bringing them up.  I know guys I went to school with from rough backgrounds.  Parents into drinking, drugs and all sorts.  They were wild in school, and it was inevitable they would grow up to be the same as their parents.

Social workers are getting a lot of flack and when they are wrong, they should be brought to task over it, but a few things to consider, their workload is way above it should be, the cases they look after won't allow them to do the job right.

Abusers are lairs, and very good at it, painting a lovely picture and ticking the right boxes.

All complaints should be thoroughly followed up by the case handler and someone who hasn't seen them before, social workers need to build rapport and confidence from their 'patients' if not they will not get what they need, another fresh eye will see things the case handler won't see.

None of this is possible if they don't fund it and encourage people into the job, I'd say its a horrible job, which has a toll on the mental health of those social workers as well.

The awful thing is I avoid these stories, its not good for the soul

Ah jaysus MR2, a legal minefield. Defining unfit is open to interpretation & abuse. If you split up with your missus, you could be vindictive & deem her unfit, say shes batshit . Unfit could be low IQ parents, homeless parents, poor parents, would feeding your children a poor diet be unfit, would leaving a 10 year old 10mins in the house alone while you go to local shop, not vaccinating children against Covid. Heaps of criteria & bureaucracy.
I know a case where a very active 14 month old, had a medical condition where he bruised easily, the parents were fantastic & Tulsa ended up getting involved. The mother who was a medical healthcare professional was distraught & it had a lasting effect on here mental health & over time proved that medication the child was taking for conjunctivitis caused low platelets in blood, leading to child bruising easily.
Its a difficult one regarding legalities, you have to be 100% certain abuse is taking place, before a child can be removed from parents.

I said how you do that is the hard part... But abusive parents need to know that the children have to come first.  Yes it  can be open wrong at times, but with proper assessments be it medically like you have said have to come into play.

My lad won't play Minecraft on the switch. Reckons that version is shit compared to the PC version, so we have a gaming laptop too. Switch is for Mario and Super Smash Bros etc.

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0110/1272806-conmey-apology/

Mr Conmey, and his friend Dick Donnelly, were convicted of Ms Lynskey's manslaughter in July 1972.

A third man, Martin Kerrigan, signed a statement confessing to the crime, but did not stand trial as he was abducted and killed by Ms Lynskey's brothers, Sean and James, and her cousin, John Gaughan, nine days after her body was found.

https://m.sundayworld.com/showbiz/tv/new-rte-series-highlights-brutal-treatment-of-innocent-men-by-garda-heavy-gang-41221485.html

There was a guard outside our house every day, every night... He picked Marty up in Ratoath and asked him where he was going and Marty said he was going to a dance in Kilmoon, which was a few miles further on.

"They stopped a little bit further down at the graveyard and the guard went into a house and left my brother in the car.

"The Lynskeys and John Gaughan came along and pulled Marty out of the car," she adds.

Her brother's death was absolutely horrific.

"He was tortured. He was dead before they tried to castrate him. How they got away with manslaughter and they going around with a knife. "

Yep prices are going up due to Covid and all the money in the system, but that's a great job at picking the height of the boom just before the crash (13 years ago), to exaggerate the point!!!!

Someone using 2008 as the base year, thus incorporating the 10 point reduction from 2008 and 2010, is just after tabloid headlines / social media hits and has no interest in real discussion on the issue.

Using an international housing affordability survey, the Parliamentary Budget Office concludes the cost of housing here is "severely unaffordable".

The report says this is partly due to "rising rents" and "surging house prices".

Apart from satisfying a lust for vengeance what purpose does it serve? Its more expensive on average than life imprisonment, has less detrimental effect on others and tends to make prisons very hard to manage.  That's before we even consider the impact if there was a miscarriage of justice.  A system of parole whilst I accept is often unpalatable is the least bad alternative in my opinion.

Hoping for the family that the Gardai have got the right guy for this now and at least they can get some closure on that end of things.

Problem is there is no way he will be able to be housed in general population in any prison on this island, so unless he can be deported back to the country of origin (going by reports that he was not born here) it is going to cost a complete fortune to hold him here.

I would far rather see this money be used in a positive way as a tribute to the victim's life.

Think the maximum he can do is something like 21 years too, unless they passed some law to change that since he was caught.

The absolute irony of Poots claiming that it was a joke from the 1980's when he is the quintessential 17th century man. Doug Beattie has used Social Media to his great advantage so far but his judgement was really poor here. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence could have predicted there would be an element of faux outrage following that tweet. It was a brutal joke as well.

There are people flat out running courses on how to become a 'sovereign citizen' and a 'community constable'. Means you don't have to pay tax, have a drivers licence, use a surname amongst other things. The current legal system is a sham as none of the current laws can replace Magna Carta, the Papacy owns all property and various other batshit theories.

This is happening in various venues not too far away from you on a weekly basis. Somebody is fair coining it from the gullible fools who end up walking into hospitals and pharmacies talking a load of unintelligible gobbledygook that they've heard from some shyster who has been ripping them off.

By the sound of some of the responses on this thread we have posters who are attending these shit shows.

That sovereign citizen nonsense has been around in the states for years, leading to bloodshed in some cases when these morons face off with the federal government.

Most recently a few years back when those Bundy headcases took over a wildlife refuge in Oregon (a few years after they had an armed standoff with the feds over grazing cattle on federal land).

Yeah, the facebook stuff was grand but definitely doesn't translate well into a tv show.  There's been some dire sketch shows on television in recent years.  Rory's Stories is another.  Fair play to the lad I guess but it's brutal stuff.

Ever since Ben Lowry became editor of the Newsletter a few months ago, it has become a propaganda newspaper for extreme Unionism and loyalism. It would appear to be an orchestrated attempt to ramp up the paranoia, fear and division that have always been the calling card for loyalism.

Same shit here. You see on local news sites like Armagh I cases when individuals are up before a judge with convictions in the 100s. David McKeown of this parish could answer better than anyone why they aren't throwing away the key on these people. The cost of pushing them through the system must be massive.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/07/eunuch-maker-arrested-castrating-men-live-television/

A 44-year-old man nicknamed "The Eunuch Maker" has been arrested amid claims he carried out dozens of castrations on men in his north London basement flat and broadcast the procedures on pay-per-view television.

Six other men aged from their 30s to their 60s were also arrested after police raided the run-down property in the Finsbury Park area last December.

The castrations are believed to be part of the genital nullification, or "Nullo", movement which has grown in popularity among those who do not wish to identify as male or female.

The majority of those who admit undergoing the procedure claim they are submissive gay males or wish to identify as asexual.

In an online interview, the Norwegian-born suspect, who is also an amputee, boasted of having undergone the procedure himself and also carrying it out on 58 other men.

https://m.independent.ie/news/child-driver-12-dies-after-road-crash-in-co-limerick-41336413.html

QuoteA child has died after a collision involving the car he was driving in Co Limerick this morning.

The driver of the car, a child believed to be 12, was fatally injured.

He was the sole occupant of the car.

It's understood the boy is a Polish national but has been living in Newcastle West.

His body has since been removed to the morgue at University Hospital Limerick. The coroner has been notified.

Shortly before 2am, gardaí and emergency services were alerted following a collision between a car and a lorry on the N21 at Rineroe near Adare. The driver of the lorry, a man in his 40s, did not require hospital treatment.

The scene is preserved for examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators. Diversions are currently in place on the N21, with city bound traffic being diverted from Adare via Croom.

Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Michael Collins offered his sympathies to the family on this tragic event.

"It's quite shocking and very sad to hear the tragic news where a young boy has lost his life. I believe he comes from the locality in my own hometown of Newcastle West which is quite difficult for the family at this sad time," he said.

Not the whole article but wasn't sure where else to put this. 12 year old driving the car that he crashed and died in. It's shocking then I remember back to growing up myself. We were driving tractors, cars, etc when we were 13-14 and in those days were were really at risk of pulling round a corner into a checkpoint. It's still a WTF moment though

You'd have 14-15 year olds driving a tractor to be sure, but not at 2am on a main road.
The poor lorry driver, he was likely driving safely and now he has been involved in fatal accident.

I read the article and had the exact same though.
Personally we'd have been driving tractors from you could reach the pedals. Cars, not on roads but definately around a field somewhere.
This is tragic though.

Seriously?? ;D

Not sure which is worse: that someone noticed and raised the issue, or that the church is that anal that they care!

I mean, if there even was a god, are they seriously saying that this tiny "error" would be enough to invalidate all those baptisms and condemn those kids to living a "lie" and all those marriages too.

Some people have little to be worrying about.

Surely if she's any assets like a house then it should be taken off her and used to refund those she stole from?

Probably in someone else's name if she went to that extremes to swindle people.

Actually there's alot of discussion out there now about how it does improve performance.
Regardless, it was a banned substance and Sha'carri knowingly took it. No sympathy.

She is plain and simply a thief, who should be put behind bars for a long time and all her assets confiscated by CAB to repay some of the stolen funds. However, wouldn't hold my breath that it will work out like that.
Totally mad alright. How's she think she'd get away with it. DJ is no saint either.
She's a well known wrong one apparently. Been getting away a long time now. Was in business with DJ at one stage but stole ALOT of money off him so parted ways - that was the word on the street around Kilkenny few years back anyway.

Neither that semifinal or the other one should have been played on the respective pitches, bogs both of them with gales blowing.

Portaferry game was played on the 3g in Abbotstown also in a gale, I think word came through last night that they'd let more than the 300 in as they were only issuing tickets for the stand.

Not just underage but also issues of fleeing the country, taking drugs, using his family to pervert the course of justice as she alleged they were in the Gardai etc. Serious allegations and will not go away easily.

I guess it comes down to morals.

Good to see the woke left congratulating the win.  6'3, hands like shovels, feet like flippers, went through male puberty - what advantage could Lia possible have above the rest.

Jesus, I'm all on for people calling themselves what they want, being who they want and all that but how can we go all in on Caster Semenya and still allow that to be fair...

It's a minefield.

The whole situation is daft but everyone is too scared to say anything. It will only come to a head when a male born boxer or in another other contact sport seroiusly harms their opponent. The logical conclusion if we stay on this road is no more mens/womens eventd just the one, a bit like the brits this year. Cant see that going down too well.

Yeah I was reading a thread on it and that's the theory a few have. It'll come into contact sport and someone will get seriously hurt. I have no problem that people struggle with how they identify etc but the physical aspect of this is unfair.  In power / endurance sports it just makes so much difference.

Semenya is just  very sad case tbh. I really feel for her.

I have stayed away from commenting too much on this whole situation in Ukraine as it is simply too complicated and definitely it a linear situation. Putin is clearly wrong in his heavy handed approach but something just doesn't sit right with me about the whole thing. History will be very telling on this period. The one thing about history, and I say it to both my teenagers who are studying it, one for A-level and one for GCSE, is that it has a crazy habit of repeating its old mistakes. I wonder what mistakes the history books will identify in this conflict?

Something doesn't sit right with me about Zelensky if I'm honest too. It is definitely too complicated for me to fully understand tbh but obviously Putin is also a madman.

The conflict in information is mad e.g. it is now being said that ukranians bombing their own hospitals and bombing russians etc. It is completely bonkers.

What sickens me about the whole thing is people get ripped apart for having center / center right views, but a dangerous far right man light Zelensky has 95% of the left wing media / politicians willing to blow him. I read the Gript, it has been described as a far right rag, when all its doing is reporting news without a liberal filter. Ireland in particular has gone to the dogs regarding the PC nature of keeping certain groups happy.

I think like a lot of posters they are semi curious on the workings of the us political parties and their actions during the year and what they have to offer to the world, but if we were to base the American people or politics on the crap that you and the rest serve up then America isn't as 'cool' a place as some think..

It sounds like a real nasty place to live, its funny watching Irish ones become so involved in American politics when a good lot of people left Ireland because of our own political failings.

Just seen an image of a starving kid from war torn Yemen, on his mothers lap. Bones pro-truding  all over his tiny body. I'm sure he's not the only starving kid in the world. These scenes will be replicated all over mainly third world countries, perhaps even in our own island.
Its wrong though & I can't but feel, huge empathy for peoples plight & struggles, particularly babies / young kids. But what can I do? Has anyone on here done something tangible to help people like this & I don't mean pegging a tenner into a trocaire box.
I look at my own kids, they want for nothing in terms of material goods, food & emotional support, yet they seem very ungrateful, I suppose everything is relative.
We turn a blind eye to the struggles of people in the world, just to stay ahead, its wrong. I believe in some sort of God, I'm not looking forward to meeting him, can't bluff him.

So what is the answer? We are concerned first and foremost with our own family, their needs and development is our primary function, and while our kids seem ungrateful at times that's just the the generation we live in, and there is no one to blame but ourselves for giving them as much as we can.

What's going on in the world and not just in Yemen is rotten, but trying to impose the right attitudes is these countries is the reason why they are in this state in the first place, the internal wars (those not brought on by outsiders) are a result of trying to 'fix' or control a country.

The only way forward is education and instead of producing arms countries should be producing better farming, education for all, towns rather than slums, decent housing and running water, hospitals with free emergency health care. The basics that we in a civilised world take for granted.

I have no problem with somebody defending their wife he should have punched him and shouldn't have got all teary and apologetic accepting his oscar.

A simple that's what happens when you disrespect my family would have sufficed.

There's one thing defending the wife - it's another thing to jump on stage and slap the comic.  Wouldn't be surprised if there's other stuff going on with Smith.  His acceptance speech was weird (though they tend to be).

As a comedian himself I would be very surprised if Will Smith has never taken the piss out of someone else but of course its all a laugh until its directed at you. The guy has seriously gone down in my estimations. Doubt it was staged either the way he was ranting and raving when he sat down the twit.

You aint going to walk out when you have a chance of winning an Oscar, it wasn't the Oscar's he had a beef with. I think 'comedians' are shit if they go down the road of cheap shots

I think that played a part in his reaction. He laughed at the joke, and caught on camera doing it. Then when camera panned back to Rock, Smith presumably turned to the wife and saw she had a face on, was annoyed with himself and got VERY annoyed with Rock.

When I saw it first with no sound, I was wondering was this all staged. But when you see it with full sound, there is 100% certainty this was not planned! There was a reasonable amount of force in the slap too.

All staged by the looks of it, the slap looked pretty fake to me.  There must have been 20 cameras trained on the stage, yet only one angle of it has been released.  As to why the Oscars would allow something like that to be staged, I've no idea.

I brought up that issue on the US politics thread, nearly about time it was locked, its a rant and rave session between a few parties. Admins need have a hard look at it.
if it bugs you so much why do you look at it ? SMH

I think like a lot of posters they are semi curious on the workings of the us political parties and their actions during the year and what they have to offer to the world, but if we were to base the American people or politics on the crap that you and the rest serve up then America isn't as 'cool' a place as some think..

It sounds like a real nasty place to live, its funny watching Irish ones become so involved in American politics when a good lot of people left Ireland because of our own political failings.

It defo is a popcorn thread at times

That thread is like some of the wee six threads would be if you had a hardcore Paisleyite or loyalist or two posting their latest "outrage" on them.

Would some of those wagging their tongues about the US politics thread sit back and let THAT shite go unchallenged?

Maybe they would. Maybe they've more sense.

There was a couple on the radio as I was driving home who suffer with the same condition... for a woman to suffer losing her hair it's a big thing, not just the physical but how you cope with it mentally is what they weee saying, snide comments and slagging was common practice.

They both condemned the slap but had mixed emotions about it. The best thing he should have done had he not cracked up was to call him out when he had the chance, heat of the moment stuff the Armagh game had worse going on.

Smith initially laughed at the GI Jane 2 remark, then looked over at the wife and she'd a face like thunder. Smith was probably as pissed off with his own initial reaction and needed to save face with the wife.

Rocks "joke" was probably in the ha-penny place when you think of what Gervais has said in the past.

The girls that had this condition who were talking on the radio said themselves that they embarrassingly would have laughed at the crass comments made at them to not make a scene and always regretted afterwards, so they were not surprised with how he initially reacted and then reacted.

Either way he has said sorry to Rock, his Oscar is pride and place in his downstairs toilet

I would say the 10% automatic add-on is very unusual for a hotel.

However, not overly surprised by the price for the scone and a cuppa. This is a 5 star hotel, you're paying for the ambience, location, decor, etc, etc. And probably to brag to your pals "Oh I had afternoon tea in the new Cashel Palace...". I'm sure it's not much more expensive, if at all, than Adare Manor, Westbury, etc. Plus you would receive a menu with prices before you order. So my conclusion is that the person who chose to go there, chose to order, and afterwards chose to complain on social media, is a knob.

Pretty amazing statement from Staines Town FC in England...

QuoteStaines Town Football Club (STFC) regrets to announce that pursuant to third party breaches of Section 54 of The Modern Slavery Act 2015 and other information that has come to light, we are forced to temporarily suspend all primary operations including but not limited to competitive fixtures, until a thorough investigation into the practices of Downing LLP has been concluded by the relevant authorities.

In the first instance, STFC has an obligation under The Modern Slavery Act 2015 to ensure that our business and supply chains are free from human trafficking and slavery. Our actions, as a full member of The English Football Association (The FA), are compliant and fully concur with The FA statement on Slavery and Human Trafficking (See attached below). This statement and the adherence to The Modern Slavery Act 2015, has also been adopted by every other National Football Association within the United Kingdom and its major member clubs.

Of particular interest to those involved at all levels of football, both within the UK and globally, it has also come to our attention through both substantive and vast evidence from various sources, that Downing LLP, who control and fund the operation of our Landlord, The Thames Club, may be involved through its other holdings in the financing of large scale bribery and corruption. This includes the current funding of a Swiss Bank with international operations that has been found guilty in the United States Federal Court of conspiring to launder over $36 million USD in bribes to officials within the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and other football federations.  These bribes were in furtherance of a scheme in which sports marketing companies bribed football officials in exchange for broadcasting rights to football matches...

Follow the link above, it gives the full statement. It reads to me that they believe Downing LLP are trying to run the club into the ground so they can develop the ground. So Staines have tried to purchase land elsewhere (wheatsheaf park) and setup a new club which has been blocked. It looks like they are trying to gain assistance in this new club setup and using the slavery to grab attention
That's how I read it anyway

QuoteSTFC believes that the strategy of Downing LLP, (who seem to have proven via its investment holdings in a business that was found guilty of the bribery and corruption of FIFA officials, that they have no regard whatsoever for a community football club or for the greater good of football), is to execute the purposeful and controlled decline of STFC and thus realise the land value at Wheatsheaf Park through development. We have spent vast amounts of our own external capital, with almost no operating income at the Club, to secure the future of STFC through the purchase of the freehold at Wheatsheaf Park, which has thus far been blocked at every turn.



We are also obligated to comply with the legislative position within the provisions and stipulations of Section 54 of The Modern Slavery Act 2015 and as a result, we must reiterate, that until the necessary government and institutional investigations have proven beyond reasonable doubt that Downing LLP is not funding modern slavery, and that STFC, its business and supply chains, are free from human trafficking and slavery, we must temporarily suspend our primary operations until the conclusion of this process, which we expect to be treated as a matter of absolute urgency.

Of course she's not a doctor. Talks about treating people "medically" and "clinically" though. Says she trained five hours (or was it five miles? She couldn't remember) outside Boston and also in Belize.

Unlicensed prescriptions, sham treatments, the works. Couples paying thousands at a time.

Unreal, but the bit I don't get is how she was able to get her hands on these powerful steroids and the likes.

Surely there's controls around who can supply and who can buy them.

Missed the end, did they delve further into that.

She was a franchisee/licensee of another dodgy (but licensed) new-age, social media doctor twat in England who was providing them with blank scripts, who subsequently broke ties with them after the same whistleblowers approached him.

Certainly dangerous and unethical but potentially somehow not illegal.

You'd hope that's the ruining of her but she probably has enough fans and followers who'll believe anything.

I think I know someone who went through this :( I definitely had a long conversation with someone about here a few years ago. I never had a follow up but I hope they didn't go.

Scumbags.

Spotlight last night about a sham/scam fertility and wellbeing centre in the Lisburn Road.

Genuinely unbelievable stuff.

Exploiting desperate couples who are in a horrible situation. Didn't see it all but am I right in saying she's not even a doctor?

I know someone who just stopped going last month, who paid approx £10k to this place

It was absolutely scandalous what she is doing. The "clinic" is Logan Wellbeing.
https://www.facebook.com/LoganWellbeingAndMedical

Undercover patients had video footage of her talking about her "training". Also she was performing abdominal checks with her hands and was able to tell the health of the woman's ovaries/tubes etc just by touch.

Convinced a 50 year old woman who had gone through menopause she could get her pregnant.

Performing IV procedures with drugs she is not licensed to administer and can be potentially dangerous.

This is the woman who runs it:
https://www.facebook.com/ruthellen.logan

Should be shut down and sued IMO.

I know people who have been desperate to have children and would have done anything for a chance. This woman has preyed on their desperation for profit. She's even signed requests for drugs as a "Doctor", even though she isnt.

You'd have to be a Jim Corr type conspiracy theorist loon to think this was staged, but there are a few of those about!

The joke was in bad taste, given it went after someone with a medical condition. But Gervais had probably set a precedent that everyone in attendance is fair game. Will Smith handled it badly (like an Armagh man reacts to provocation - judging by the comments in the NFL1 thread!) and it will undoubtedly negatively impact his career - and never a good sign when your PR team makes you put out a second apology after a poor first effort!  Whereas Rock handled it very well, and it'll do his career no harm at all.

Yeah that sounds likely, most people probably wouldn't look a menu and just ask for a pot of tea and couple of scones each. Even at that, if you book a table for dinner and look at the menu and it's something wild like €100 for a steak or whatever, most people would be more likely to take a photo of the menu rather than leave the place

It seems to be a backlash to a backlash. Some SDLP heads asked Nolan why is he constantly on and who does he represent. This apparently is an attempt to censor loyalism. Now the slightly interesting thing is the rest of loyalist thought defending this on the basis he is a bona fida spokesperson

Political Unionism AKA Loyalism in suits repeat this mantra that the Protocol must go and when asked what is meant to replace it they blubber about Article 16 being triggered without actually understanding what that means which evidently isn't what they think it means as it's not the golden bullet to "save the union" that they think it is.

The EU and now Boris' Gov are now telling them that's not going to happen and then we hear this line trotted out that no one is listening to unionist/loyalist concerns..

ironically it was them or the LCC who started to make a big deal out of the protocol even after Arlene and Jeffrey are on record of saying the protocol is a good thing for the NI economy...

All the while, the big farmers in North Antrim and the fishermen in Kilkeel and Portavogie are keeping their heads down as they know they've got a better deal than their GB counterparts.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out what has happened here. A cabal of hard unionists/loyalists such as Bryson, Hoey, Holmes etc got together around the start of the year and began an orchestrated campaign to discredit anyone and everyone who didn't agree with their own insular world view. It didn't matter whether misinformation or mistruths were presented as fact, just repeat them often enough and hope that something sticks, a tactic straight from the Steve Bannon/Trump playbook. Some of it is justified frustration but lots of it is contrived anger aimed in the wrong direction. Enabled and assisted by Ben Lowry's Newsletter.

Anyone and everyone was fair game except for those who agreed with them. Journalists, commentators, Alliance Party, Doug Beattie, the judiciary, academics, EU, Irish government. All aimed at propping up the anti protocol DUP vote in the upcoming general election. This fear and division tactic might salvage some support for the DUP again in the short term but yet again they will have isolated Unionism further as a whole in the aftermath. Jeffrey Donaldson is another puppet to hard loyalism, a very weak leader who is just going with the flow for votes. It is really depressing listening to local media in the run up to an election and this one is worse as the silent majority get drowned out again at the expense of the noisy rabble rousers.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out what has happened here. A cabal of hard unionists/loyalists such as Bryson, Hoey, Holmes etc got together around the start of the year and began an orchestrated campaign to discredit anyone and everyone who didn't agree with their own insular world view. It didn't matter whether misinformation or mistruths were presented as fact, just repeat them often enough and hope that something sticks, a tactic straight from the Steve Bannon/Trump playbook. Some of it is justified frustration but lots of it is contrived anger aimed in the wrong direction. Enabled and assisted by Ben Lowry's Newsletter.

Anyone and everyone was fair game except for those who agreed with them. Journalists, commentators, Alliance Party, Doug Beattie, the judiciary, academics, EU, Irish government. All aimed at propping up the anti protocol DUP vote in the upcoming general election. This fear and division tactic might salvage some support for the DUP again in the short term but yet again they will have isolated Unionism further as a whole in the aftermath. Jeffrey Donaldson is another puppet to hard loyalism, a very weak leader who is just going with the flow for votes. It is really depressing listening to local media in the run up to an election and this one is worse as the silent majority get drowned out again at the expense of the noisy rabble rousers.

All aided and abetted by the OO.

Fortunately everybody is not on Twitter so although loud on Twitter etc. the dissident loyalists doesn't impinge on most peoples' lives. Empty vessels and all that...

Key thing is the the UUP's and TUV's anger should be directed at the DUP for bringing the mess that is Brexit.

The Brits have moved on from the EU is weak and the Protocol to getting brownie points from the EU in the Ukraine  war effort. Nobody in Whitehall cares what Portadown wants.

Unionism is a long way from reality.

I remember around the time of the Essex people smuggling deaths involving Mo Robinson, he couldn't wait to announce that the lorry came from the south and that he was probably using an Irish passport. I'm sure there are many other examples, he is as bigoted as they come.

Didn't know which thread to put it in !!

Some asylum seekers who cross the Channel to the UK will be given a one-way ticket to Rwanda, under new government plans.

The trial will involve mostly single men arriving on boats or lorries.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the £120m scheme would "save countless lives" from human trafficking.

Refugee organisations have criticised the plan as cruel, questioned its cost and efficacy, and raised concerns about Rwanda's human rights record.

In a speech in Kent, Mr Johnson argued action was needed to stop "vile people smugglers" turning the ocean into a "watery graveyard", adding the "humane and compassionate" plan was designed to break their business model.

He said he wanted to make clear to people arriving on the Kent coast they were better off taking legal routes and that the new plan would "over time prove a very considerable deterrent".

It reads like a joke but it will actually work to prevent asylum seekers crossing the channel. Why would you cross the channel in a dingy if you know the prize on the other side is a one way ticket to Rwanda. They're essentially jailing asylum seekers in Rwanda and whilst that is obviously unpalatable, it is likely to be a strong deterrent. They'll actually end up sending very few people to Rwanda if this is successful.

The biggest threat is from the UK supreme court

Yeah, but the issue is the legal way has been deliberately trapped in a minefield of bureaucracy and paperwork in the same way they're asking Ukrainian children for their original birth certs when they were fleeing their house in the dead of night.

Plus for those that see out the process over 75% prove not to be "illegal".

If they introduced a sensible and straightforward immigration policy, people smugglers disappear. The current system is hostile to immigrants. And it designed that way deliberately.

As an aside... for a country such as Ireland where people emigrated from in their millions, I don't understand the issue some have when people want to come here, whether that is  Ireland or the UK.

Didn't know which thread to put it in !!

Some asylum seekers who cross the Channel to the UK will be given a one-way ticket to Rwanda, under new government plans.

The trial will involve mostly single men arriving on boats or lorries.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the £120m scheme would "save countless lives" from human trafficking.

Refugee organisations have criticised the plan as cruel, questioned its cost and efficacy, and raised concerns about Rwanda's human rights record.

In a speech in Kent, Mr Johnson argued action was needed to stop "vile people smugglers" turning the ocean into a "watery graveyard", adding the "humane and compassionate" plan was designed to break their business model.

He said he wanted to make clear to people arriving on the Kent coast they were better off taking legal routes and that the new plan would "over time prove a very considerable deterrent".

It reads like a joke but it will actually work to prevent asylum seekers crossing the channel. Why would you cross the channel in a dingy if you know the prize on the other side is a one way ticket to Rwanda. They're essentially jailing asylum seekers in Rwanda and whilst that is obviously unpalatable, it is likely to be a strong deterrent. They'll actually end up sending very few people to Rwanda if this is successful.

The biggest threat is from the UK supreme court
As if the risk of drowning at sea on a rubber boat wasn't deterrent enough.

So, its that bad from where they come from, they are willing to get in a dingy, with the high possibility of drowning, to be then deported from the UK to Rwanda and processed there, to then what, should they not be successful?

The Tories are just kicking this can (problem) further on down the road, without actually look at source..

What actually makes Britain attractive over other EU countries?

The people smugglers will be moving to Rwanda and continuing with their very successful business

If they introduced a sensible and straightforward immigration policy, people smugglers disappear. The current system is hostile to immigrants. And it designed that way deliberately.

As an aside... for a country such as Ireland where people emigrated from in their millions, I don't understand the issue some have when people want to come here, whether that is  Ireland or the UK.

Exactly - they are kicking no can. They are making the country as hostile as possible to immigrants and intentionally doing so. There are no boundaries, and there is no humanity, to these people. Yes every country doesn't have infinite resources so can't take in every asylum seeker etc but look at the Ukraine scenario and the number of immigrants taken in vs other countries. The tories are basically the lowest of the low.

Agreed. Either go the legal way or stay in France.

Why would you want to prevent someone fleeing their home from coming to a safe haven? It's an extremely cruel policy and typical of this Conservative government. It is deliberately timed to take the heat off Johnson and Sunak. They care not a jot about anyone bar themselves and their entitled mates.
The argument about fleeing from a war doesn't wash though, it's not as though France is a warzone. Although I agree with the rest of what you're saying!

Precisely this. The Irish diaspora have bennefitted greatly from other countries open policies and have had a large part in making the country what it is today. So I can never understand the mentality of Irish people who want to pull the ladder up and prevent immigrants from doing likewise here or elsewhere. It's a combination of 'I'm alright Jack' and racism or sometimes both.

It isn't racist to say that too much immigration is undesirable when there is a shortage of houses, people are on trolleys etc.
Immigrants are like traffic, driving to visit your granny is a good thing but it does not mean that too many cars does not mean traffic jams.

Many of those trying to get to the UK from France are fleeing wars in Africa and Asia.

This is pure racism. And many fascist regimes have started in a similar manner. It's doesn't just happen overnight, but lots of tiny subtle changes overtime until it is too late. Johnson and his cronies have no respect for the rule of law or common decency.

The Germans evidently made a conscious decision to encourage immigration to their country as they've an aging population and workplace demands that they can't meet.
It hasn't been without it's problems either to be fair but they take in multiples more refugees and immigrants than the UK

The Brits have the same issues but they're just too racist to realise it.

There'll be lots more crops rot in the fields and livestock culled in the UK due to labour shortages this year as well as lack of employees in pubs, hotels and the likes.

It's a known fact the immigrants are normally a positive to an economy as they're normally younger and are more likely to be treating you in the hospital than being treated themselves..

I agree with others it isn't just the Foreign Nationals that are not contributing.....there are plenty of Irish and Brits that have never contributed either.

You don't get that through just being unemployed though. You have to be deemed disabled and unfit to work etc? Exception not rule...

There is a playbook for that, it's not difficult.
I know people who work in the benefits departments in the civil service and apparently you see multiple generations of the same family coming in following the playbook. Fire out weans as early as possible, get some on a statement at school,  DLA, full benefits etc. etc.

Don't see the issue with the Rwanda deterrent. As mentioned, it's terrible that there are people having to flee their homes due to war and terror, but France is a safe place as is most of the other countries they pass through before getting to France.

We have never had a competent executive in place and that is a major factor in a lot of our issues, but immigration is definitely a major factor too when in comes to a shortage of houses and hospital beds.

Immigration in the uk is a big bogey man. It's not immigrants fault the nhs is chronically underfunded - it's governments. Uk wide at present it is currently the most corrupt government on record. I don't think here we are much better with the "big two" either. Look at rhi, red sky etc etc. Politicians are unaccountable for anything they do and then immigrants and dole seekers get the blame for being a drain on society when they cost a fraction of what is , let's be honest, outright corruption.

People would ask where the money would come from to fund these things. Well billions upon billions are being wasted.

More than one thing can be true at the same time. It is an irrefutable fact that if you have more people demanding a resource than the supply can sustain you will have major issues. An element of that demand comes from people not born in the country. People always blame underresourcing but the people in the NHS never like to advertise their woeful mismanagement of resources. Too many people, Covid, mismanagement and Tory underfunding are all factors.

Excessive middle management is a huge problem enforced by government and not the NHS itself. Politicians trying to run it. Those middle managers cost money that could be better spent. Also as most of us are probably aware the more layers of management the more shite workers have to deal with needlessly and that is absolutely draining the staff.

That's not what I think. Jeremy Hunt etc as head of health. That is the crux of a big part of the problem.

Everyone needs managers I understand. How many do you need? How many layers of paperwork do people on the ground need? Why are there so many job vacancies and the list goes on.

It is couped and Brexit losing so many immigrants will probably have significantly expedited that.

Anyway I diverge...

When people talk of immigrants its almost always in a bad light, spongers taking our houses, clogging up the NHS etc etc, a lot of Daily Mail readers on here evidently, but fail to forget it was the Phillopino nurses, Indian doctors etc etc that kept the NHS going especially during the pandemic.

The fúcking spongers you should be targeting are the rich f**kers like the Sunaks who pay next to nothing in tax, much like Rees Mogg and Co, the very same owners of said Daily Mail not to mention those who got big contracts during the pandemic purely for the fact they were mates with the Torys, that is why your National Insurance is going up and the NHS is on it's knees, not because of some refugees who've been denied a legal right to seek asylum in the UK so are desperate enough to get on a f**king dingy to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world...

Even the Israeli's stopping shipping people to Rwanda as it was that bad there and that says something...

If it's not already immigration should be encouraged, obviously it needs looked at in terms of the just having people here that live off the social payments. Contributing through employment earning a wage and paying taxes will at the very least improve the country...

It's getting jimmy up the street who complains about immigrants stealing his job, (that he never had in the first place) and getting him to find a job, but it needs to be slightly better than the benefits he gets for doing nothing.

As Johnny says taxing the ultra rich would be a good start, not allowing companies like Apple and Google get away with tax breaks would also be a good start.

And controversially we are over populated in terms of families with four or five kids, I grew up in a house of 9! How my parents afforded things I'll never know, but we had little outgoings then, how families afford things now with all the current demands is crazy!

Btw I'm not saying do a China lol

People say stay in the first safe country you come to. in many cases that would be Turkey. When it comes to taking refugees they've something like 3.5m. Why should Turkey take them all? Especially when it's British built arms that's probably forcing these people to flee in the first place.

Do you genuinely think refugees are flooding over here because it's the land of milk and honey? There's working people needing benefits and going to food banks to survive currently...

No, it's because a lot of western bombs have blown the shit out of their homes, towns and villages in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Ukraine ably assisted by despot leaders in their own countries

Refugees need sorting without a doubt, immigrants should be vetted based on need, I'd agree on that, but not this blanket ban like the UK Gov has more or less put in place.

The Brits are fúcking up their own economy purely for racist reasons and are too thick to see it but still people buy into this mantra of "coming over here and taking our jobs", it's utter balls and needs called out and evidently that's creeping in over here as well.

I linked an article in an earlier comment that shows that in the round immigrants prove to be a positive for an economy, but that might require reading something that doesn't have a set of tits on page 3.

Part of the problem is that asylum seekers are unabvle to work for up to a year or more before they are given refugee status - Through my work I have come across a lot of really capable and motivated guys who are desperate to get working but aren't able to due to the red tape and bureaucracy that holds up the process.

Something fancy I'm sure, which he is perfectly entitled to drive.

Haven't saw any racist posts here either. 

We can't simply let anyone who wants in, it's basic management. If you are the manager of a hotel, you have a maximum limit to stick to, you just can't fill every breathable space with people if there isn't the services/facilities/budget to accommodate them. Our country has been cutting most services over the past 15 years and have little money or houses to accommodate endless numbers of illegal immigrants.  That's not being racist just rational.

The open racism on display here is staggering. No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish Asians

It's the exactly what many Irish were subjected to in England, America and other places. People have short memories.

Most Irish were going to work

And so would the refugees and immigrants if they were let as per MichaelG's post.

Anyone from the EEA, Romans & Slovaks can work from day one. They don't.

They have no problems setting up the Euro wash places for many years. Working 7 days a week
::) What you mean the gangmasters who set them up and then get people over from Romania to work for buttons?! Entrepreneurial spirit is live and well!

Go and ask the people working 7 days a week what their terms and conditions of employment are and what their rate of income tax is. You'll find some Romanian fella driving a white Range Rover Sport will have them 20 to a house working for next to fcuk all.

That may be true, what does the owner of Randox drive?

Something fancy I'm sure, which he is perfectly entitled to drive.

Haven't saw any racist posts here either. 

We can't simply let anyone who wants in, it's basic management. If you are the manager of a hotel, you have a maximum limit to stick to, you just can't fill every breathable space with people if there isn't the services/facilities/budget to accommodate them. Our country has been cutting most services over the past 15 years and have little money or houses to accommodate endless numbers of illegal immigrants.  That's not being racist just rational.
What if we do a 1 for 1. We let one in for every person who leaves our shores.

Can you nominate the ppl you think should leave? Like the Big Brother house?

You've around 600,000 immigrants living in Ireland

Polish being the most, over 120,000 followed by the Brits with over 100,000 living here.. it drops a lot to the Romina's who make up 30,000 Lithuania's 0n 36,000 and dropping further for Nigerian's and Indian's around 10,000 each. The Spanish and Americans Brazilians French German and Italians make up the rest..

The Poles and and the Brits would be I think not a drain on the wellbeing of Ireland. The Indians neither, Lithuania and Latvia immigrants also have a good work ethic..

So its a very small percentage left that most people would feel is draining the health service or social services. The vast majority draining the system will be the lads down the street from you, who are local

Great summary MR. Working in the health service I would agree foreign nationals are not putting a drain on the health service, more concerning is that they actually underutilise health services and have significant health risks related to poverty , living conditions and other socioeconomic factors . Very few are taking attractive jobs which locals really want. They are comparable to thousands of Irish immigrants  who were treated with racist disdain back in the day. They should be welcomed and supported not least to learn from other cultures and improve .

I had a read of that article, and although the point they are making is true, women are not realistically going to go for a run on their own through a city street in the middle of the night due to safety concerns, I would hazard a guess that if they had done the inverse, showed a woman running in a group during the middle of the day, there would be cries of misogyny, and that a woman shouldn't have to run in groups etc.

Is there a woke-ism  thread on the board?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-61242917

I had a read of that article, and although the point they are making is true, women are not realistically going to go for a run on their own through a city street in the middle of the night due to safety concerns, I would hazard a guess that if they had done the inverse, showed a woman running in a group during the middle of the day, there would be cries of misogyny, and that a woman shouldn't have to run in groups etc. 

It sort of feels at the moment, everyone is taking offence to absolutely everything

Anyone who goes for a run at 2am has issues, regardless of gender.

https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/pupil-who-impersonated-teachers-sent-23814548

A pupil who impersonated teachers and sent abusive emails to members of staff has lost a legal battle over his expulsion from a grammar school in Northern Ireland.

The 18-year-old, who cannot be identified, challenged the decision to remove him due to the "appalling" online campaign.

But Court of Appeal judges backed a previous ruling that his application for judicial review should be dismissed.

The pupil was expelled from an unnamed voluntary grammar school in December 2020, a sanction subsequently upheld at an appeal tribunal.

His misconduct involved gaining access to an online learning system and sending offensive emails to members of staff over a three-month period.

He also impersonated teachers by sending emails in their names to colleagues.

"His biology teacher was a particular target of this appalling behaviour," Mr Justice Humphreys said.

At no stage did the pupil or his parents deny the seriousness of the wrongdoing.

However, they claimed the school failed to explore alternative sanctions and follow its own procedures.

The case centred on how the appeal against expulsion was dealt with by the tribunal.

In October last year a High Court judge dismissed the challenge after ruling that a careful investigation into possible alternative disciplinary action was carried out.

Citing clear evidence that the pupil's behaviour could potentially cause significant harm, he said procedural irregularities in the original school process resulted in no disadvantage at the "demonstrably fair" tribunal hearing.

Appealing those findings, lawyers for the pupil disputed a conclusion that the correct scheme was applied.

Mr Justice Humphreys acknowledged there were a number of significant failings in the school's procedures.

The parents had been denied an opportunity to make oral representations at a consultation meeting and to the Board of Governors, he pointed out.

But the judge ruled: "The tribunal found that the school had considered alternatives to expulsion, having received evidence orally from the Principal, the Chair of the Board and the appellant's parents.

"This was an entirely rational conclusion which was open to the finder of fact to make. There is no basis for such a finding to be impeached by way of judicial review."

Affirming the original determination, he concluded: "Ultimately, the question of the merits of the decision was a matter within the jurisdiction of the tribunal and there is no ground to impeach that finding."

Panic as tourists bring unexploded shell to Israeli airport

QuoteJERUSALEM, April 28 (Reuters) - An American family set off a bomb scare at Israel's main airport on Thursday when they showed security inspectors an unexploded shell which they found while visiting the Golan Heights and had packed for their return trip, authorities said.

Video circulated on social media showed panicked passengers scattering at Ben Gurion Airport's departure hall. The Israel Airports Authority said a man was hospitalised with injuries sustained as he tried to flee over a baggage carousel.

It said the family was allowed to board their flight after an interrogation by security staff, who declared an all-clear. Israel, which boasts high levels of aviation security, clashed with Syria over the Golan during the wars of 1967 and 1973.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/panic-tourists-bring-unexploded-shell-israeli-airport-2022-04-28/

They deserved to have the shell go off when they were packing their bags! Some people at the airport ya wanna knock them out for what they try and get past security!!

I dislike people whipping their phones out to record things but in this instance it may actually force the airport to address the shitshow there.

Well evidently loads of wine, beer, spirits on a table with nibbles isn't a party, it's a work event so you must need something else for that to become a party..

The first episode I found quite funny, them telling the story about how one of them had been caught out himself.
The second episode though is bonkers when you begin to realise the web of fake account and lies involved to dupe numerous people (mainly inter county footballers it seems) over a 8 year period.

What an amazingly odd take on these incidents.

People from a community well known for fighting each other engage in such. In an airport though, well out of order.
People from the same community randomly attack people just dandering by. Close to a park, just standard stuff in parks.

It is not an odd take. In the airport there should have been a police response, there cannot be police everywhere.

True, great job Helen McEntee. Reform in indeed.

This type of thing isn't so unusual, youths fighting in parks is something in every town. The airport thing was well out of order.

That video is many times worse than the airport footage. At the airport there were too willing, brainless participants. In that carpark your fella is clearly goaded into a fight whilst a young lad films it roaring the culprits to "hit yer woman".

I would use it for reading, never for posting because well its a liability. I find it good for breaking news,  goal updates etc. Stuff would appear on it before it appears on traditional media.

Don't use or go on Twitter at all.

The world doesn't need my off-the-cuff, ill-thought-out comments on anything, never mind the "outrage" du jour. I don't see how the vast majority of those who do use it are offering anything constructive either.

Some of the stuff people come out with on social media is unbelievable really. People should be held significantly more to account. You'd be put in jail for a lot of it and then you always get the no smoke without fire.

Has to remembered on twitter though for important stuff... Biden wouldn't run a campaign on twitter because it wasn't worthwhile so while there's noise on it it's not very reflective of reality no matter how much some think so.

On another note on twitter I see one of those victims campaigners - and one who looked like a decent one not a Frazer sort - shut down all her social media. Incessant trolling.

Covid I'd imagine.. if you are still testing positive after 5 days isolation you can't go to work, they haven't the staffing levels to cover the sick leave, same for airport staff that were let go during covid, they haven't replaced them because they got jobs elsewhere and are happy enough with the new job, but with all these jobs available and the locals who voted for brexit to stop the bloody foreigners from taking ours jobs then that's what ya have!

I'm hoping its sorted for mid July !!

I think that's the Dublin Airport excuse despite it being clear for months that things were returning to normal. easyJet's issue is lack of cover for Covid cases. Planes must be a breeding ground for it now there is neither testing nor masks so hardly surprising cabin crew are getting it.

It's happened me twice I passed by fatal accidents, both times I was a passenger and in a foreign country. One of them the body on the road was already covered but the second one was pretty gruesome (motorbike and lorry). I just caught a quick glimpse but immediately had to look away with shivers down my spine. Don't understand how anyone can look at that yet alone anything else. There was a million things going through my mine but one of them was certainly not to take out my f*****g phone to get a video.

One sperm tube was cut during the hernia removal, I wonder why they didn't fix it on the spot.

Now the record is over 100 million.

Lots of junkies/drug use/dealing etc all in plain view. Paths are filthy. Loads of scumbags just hanging around waiting for you to look at them the wrong way so they have an excuse to hassle you.

O'Connell St has always been a kip. That whole area is a no go after dark. I've been in Dublin since 95 and it's never been an area I'd go near of a weekend. When students we would go to fibber magees but it was all students. The street itself has had a lot of money spent on it but it's the locals that are the main issue.

I was sent the video, but didn't share it as I agree it was brutal.
Context I was given was that the guy who was attacked was a paedophile in county Offaly but I've no idea if that's true.

It really was a vicious attack by both men and women, but I wasn't aware there was a traveller element to it.

The Corpo have never given a professional soccer club a free pitch. What the Corpo have seen is the SDCC building a community stadium, it working, and decided to keep Bohs in their county with a similar model. You could argue Bohs are being rewarded for letting 3 sides fall apart of course.

The GAA do alright out of the same councils. In fact the Spawell deal is so advantageous to the DCB it will inevitably be subject to a tribunal. It's a bit churlish to object to soccer getting facilities too, especially when they are going to contain a library and community spaces.

He's studying in Dublin to complete his degree just like thousands of other GAA players before him from up and down the country. It would have been very easy to remain with his home club during that period and to play for them at the weekends. There would be no 4 times a week commute and you know it. He could train with any number of clubs in the city without actually transferring as many other players have done before him. Instead, if he proceeds with the transfer, he becomes a pariah amongst his own....and for what really, 30 pieces of silver.
Long term, he'll regret this.

Some of the stuff on this Shane Walsh transfer. According to the Irish news (well o'Kane) no Dublin senior club should be allowed incoming transfers? Only intermediate.

I think that's a fair enough suggestion. All senior clubs in Dublin will have multiple hundreds if not thousands of members from densely populated urban areas. Let's call this out for what it is, he's been tapped up and I'd be very shocked if there isn't a cash offer or some other similar incentives for him to move to Crokes. At 29 years of age, why would you antagonise and alienate your home community and the club who nurtured you from primary up. The club where you are idolised by the kids and seen as a role model. How difficult would it have been to continue to play for his club whilst he finished his degree. If it's so difficult to commute to train then why isn't he transferring to Dublin from Galway? The beauty of the Gaa is that we play for where we are born and unlike soccer or rugby,success can't be bought by the club with the biggest cheque book. Once that fundamental cornerstone is eroded, we're all on a very slippery slope.

Very magnanimous of you to decide the fella who has moved to Dublin has to commute 4 times a week just to pass your purity test

He's studying in Dublin to complete his degree just like thousands of other GAA players before him from up and down the country. It would have been very easy to remain with his home club during that period and to play for them at the weekends. There would be no 4 times a week commute and you know it. He could train with any number of clubs in the city without actually transferring as many other players have done before him. Instead, if he proceeds with the transfer, he becomes a pariah amongst his own....and for what really, 30 pieces of silver.
Long term, he'll regret this.

Would your club refuse him?

I don't think the club looks great out of this either. It's not like you're talking about near neighbours here -it's a significant regular journey. Would it be ok if he just went to a mediocre dublin club?  It is possibly not long term either though not sure on that.

We have normalised the payment of managers. We have normalised players abandoning their clubs to chase the American Dream in the summer months. This is simply the next logical step. Those who have been dying on the hill of defending those things have helped to create this monster and they need to suck it up because it's only going one way.

there are hundreds of player transfers every year, the only difference here is ability of the player....

Not written in stone, but the Dubs have a policy not to take players from other counties. There are some exceptions, such as:
- Declan Darcy moved from Leitrim to Dublin, but he was a Dub playing for Leitrim.
- We had a sub goalie who played underage for Kerry (Brian Murphy) on the panel for a while, but he hadn't played senior for Kerry
- Mick Deegan (good Dubs half back in his day) had a son Michael who grew up in Meath and played for Ashbourne. But Michael only ever wanted to play for the Dubs so played minor and U21 for the Dubs and not Meath. I think he eventually transferred to a Dublin club.

Rory Gallagher was the one where it came under most scrutiny. He was playing with Brigids and was a top class freetaker - something Dublin badly needed at the time.  So a number of meetings were had to discuss, as he was willing and eager to play for the Dubs. But it was decided that we'd stick to not taking players who'd played with other counties, unless they had very strong Dublin ties.

So unless Shane has a Dub mother or father, I think the chances of Dubs accepting him are close to zero. (Not that I'm saying he'd want to transfer!)

None of the above applies to hurling - we happily accept Kilkenny, Tipp, etc. castoffs who live in the big city!

Travelling to a county training, chances are he is going to get diesel etc paid for, meals for after and all that.  Some of the preparation is taken out of the equation when it is done for you, which makes it easier.  Several Galway lads can be carsharing to make it easier that way also.   

The county season and collective training will last from January to, in this case July, so 7 months in total, depending on how far the team gets.

Travelling to a club training, there might only be 15players turn up, the standard of training won't be as good, he may not get compensated for travelling and that turns a 7month commute into a 9/10 month commute. 

We are all at clubs where there are lads that come and go as they please, and the club is on their doorstep, so asking a fella to travel down from Dublin a few days a week is a lot when other's aren't willing to do half as much is maddening.

Thankfully, outside the cities, transfer requests are very closely scrutinized by county boards. Obligation is on the player to prove that he is living at an address within that parish/club boundary.

As I said before, the beauty and uniqueness of the GAA is the fact that you play for where you are born. The payment of managers is a scourge and the elephant in the room that hierarchy keep burying heads in the sand over. A very simple rule would stop it and save us all a fortune, 'a team can only be managed by a person who lives within their club's boundaries' same with county managers.

The sentiment I largely agree with

But it would only work in practice for the players

In terms of management, the mercenaries of this world would just be brought in same as now, but they'd be called coaches or waterboys.

It could never be policed.

Also, there are plenty of rural clubs who don't adhere to the 'where you're born' ethos

Unless 'where your mother or father was born' also counts

That's not the point I was making. What I'm saying is that with the robust transfer policy outside the cities, the JP scenario can't happen. It could happen in a city though with the loopholes that are there at present. Crokes are a rich club and could become the JP if they so wanted. Walsh this year, Clifford next year. Rian O'Neill after that. A little like what goes on in the states every year with trophy players being flown over. With Crokes, they almost got it done last year, the temptation to lure in Walsh as the final piece of the jigsaw may be too strong to resist. The hope would be that there is enough right thinking people internally to oppose it. (Though the fact that it's been made public would indicate that it's already gone past that)

Walsh lives in Dublin. Do Clifford or O'Neill or will they? You're pointing at something way over and above what is happening here. Have Crokes got him to come to Dublin in the first place? That seems to be almost what you are indicating?

I struggle with some rationale here. It would be ok if he went to a mediocre club but not if he goes to a good club. Then you're talking about a JP McManus scenario but Walsh was in Dublin and subsequently has asked for a transfer.

   Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $4.1mn in damages to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim, dealing a blow to one of America's most notorious peddlers of misinformation.

A Texas jury on Thursday awarded compensatory damages for the emotional distress Jones's company caused by falsely claiming the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six teachers were killed, was a hoax staged to justify gun control.

You wish you'll score 3-3

Hopefully (insert gender here) showers on (again, insert gender) own after the game..

The guy (I don't know his pronouns now so apologies to anyone if the individual in question has been misgendered) didn't score and appeared only as a blood sub is my understanding.

The trans/self-identification in women's sport issue is serious enough without people needing to embellish it, as that only gives fuel to those who claim that anyone who has an issue with transwomen or female identifying men in women's sport are transphobes or homophobes.

Apparently one of these bike rental operations in Dublin decided that it would be funny to give their bikes female names.
Not surprisingly, this policy did not meet with universal approval and has been changed to just a boring old number.

Don't know but the final score of the game was.......

Na Gaeil Aeracha 7-11

Na Fianna E 1-05

This situation has been dealt with badly and should never have been allowed to happen.


There has been a lot of disrespectful stuff written about the poor guy/girl!


Na Gaeil Aeracha in the main are a positive club for a group of people that are often isolated community from team sport.

Yes, a mis-truth told on social media that gathered wings. The individual scored 0-0. And the controversy/rage stoked further by many people believing 'junior' means 'young'!

I haven't seen a Junior J shield match to judge the level and how competitive it is versus social, but it is the lowest level of ladies football in Dublin, and I believe Na Fianna 'E' were aware of the situation and did not object. 

Of course, if it was a senior championship final and one team had a player who used to play men's adult football, then I would have a problem - albeit I don't think any senior team would do that, and for sure the opposition would object, so it's a bit hypothetical- but it is an issue all women's sport will have to grapple with and legislate accordingly. Personally I think it's probably something that should only be allowed at a social level and not at competitive level, but I have sympathy for those involved.

I know that an awful lot of Hi-Fi buffs tend to fall for varying amounts of snake oil, but seriously - £155 for a 13 Amp plug fuse?  :o

https://www.futureshop.co.uk/synergistic-research-orange-high-end-uk-13a-fuse (https://www.futureshop.co.uk/synergistic-research-orange-high-end-uk-13a-fuse)

Talk about a load of shite in the item description.

QuoteSynergistic Research's Orange range of fuses are their latest and greatest breakthrough. Synergistic Fuses are available as both 'Fast-blow' and 'Slow-blow' options and are designed for a wide range of Hi-Fi and AV equipment. The Fast-blow fuses are most commonly found in everyday electronic equipment. They are less tolerant to high current passing through, meaning the fuse will blow easier but it will protect your equipment in the process. Fast-blow fuses should be used where the equipment is sensitive to the flow of electricity, allowing a prompt reaction to any surges in order to protect your equipment. For example, a Fast-blow fuse can be used in Pre-Amps, DACs and TVs. When installing your new fuse, please ensure you test the fuse in both directions as they are directional from left to right. When the fuse is inserted in the correct direction, it is designed to sound more detailed.

The new ORANGE Quantum Fuse is a direct result of technology Synergistic Research first developed for their Limited Edition Galileo SX PowerCell. At its core are new UEF Technologies and a completely new multi-stage high voltage treatment process for the lowest noise floor of any fuse they have ever manufactured. In fact, ORANGE is by far the most significant leap in performance across five fuse generations. Subjective improvements include better timbral accuracy where separate instruments and voices take on a new degree of life-like realism. Other benefits over prior SR fuses include a larger soundstage with greater depth, width, and front-to-back layering. Musicality or the presence of increased detail without a hint of fatigue is off the charts for extended listening that is never harsh despite being their highest resolution fuse to date.

So if laoislad is reading this, any thoughts?  8)
A good thick bolt would suffice

A fuse is only there to protect equipment, I dunno how it could possibly affect the sound.
People buying these are probably the same who spend €100 on a HDMI lead when a €5 one from Dealz will do exactly the same job.

Be interesting to see what their profits are after this. Their margins should remain roughly the same. If they are claiming the cost of wholesale gas is going up why are these businesses posting record profits?

Is it price gouging, do they think people will be more conservative with using electric, gas and other energy items and they will be losing out in the long run?

Like who is getting paid that much extra to cover the increase of food and energy, plus all the other increases?

I agree.
I think we are in for a particularly bad time here in the coming months.

Truss and her ideals change with the wind so its also unpredictable what approach she'll take. I suspect though that NI will be well down the list of priorities and so the DUP will get away with what they're doing right now.

As for the new SoS, it's either a statement of intent with regards the protocol or it was scraping the bottom of the barrel as so many others had rejected the role.
Title: Re: Things that make you go What the F**k?
Post by: imtommygunn on September 07, 2022, 10:05:17 AM
The reckoning is she'll shaft the DUP based on her language. I would be inclined to say bottom of barrel over statement on protocol.

Media bias on things. I mean it is awful about that wee girl Madeline McCann who disappeared but never would you have seen so much publicity for a missing person in "MSM" as that when there are people, kids included, missing everywhere. All very disproportionate for whatever reason.

Mad country down there if you are being jailed for not calling someone something.  People call others the most vile names they can, assault and rob others yet may not serve a day inside.

Only he didn't get jailed for not calling someone something. This is what happens unfortunately. Either intentionally or through ignorance of what actually happened.

When you look at the history of the guy too and then you look at the likes of Jolene Bunting up here. These people are not martyrs or are not innocent. This boy coming into an empty classroom was extremely creepy and not behaviour you would want round your children.

You add in the contempt of court stuff too - this guy is bonkers.

He got jailed from contempt of court. It's irrelevant what has led to that but as others have pointed he's got his martyrdom now. Horrible family.

He objected to the request to use the pronouns requested by student, student parents and school when addressing the student. He was not actually teaching the student and the interaction with the student would have likely been minimal.

he disrupted events and was aggressive with the principal. He was on paid suspension for that. he then continued to attend the school and the injunction was as a result of that.

That's what he was jailed for but the crux of the problem was him refusing to call a pupil 'they'.

No, the crux of the matter is that he's an arrogant **** who thinks he can do whatever he want and cry foul about religious belief and persecution. He harrassed pupils, staff and parents when he interrupted the dinner.

Anyone claiming that he's been jailed for refusing to use certain pronouns (a pretty cunty position to take to begin with) or that it all comes back to the pronoun issue is either trying to push the same agenda as these bastards or a completely ignorant moron. Take your pick lads.

All sounds akin to the Phelps family in the USA & The Westboro Baptist Church.

Pretty sure he got jailed for breaching a court order. Seems like a very unstable individual, not someone you would want teaching kids.

That's what he was jailed for but the crux of the problem was him refusing to call a pupil 'they'.

I arrived home, the wife had the dinner on. It was shite and I told her so. One thing led to another, a neighbour had to hold me back and a court order was out in place barring me from the house. I kept showing up at the house and on two seperate days broke in and locked myself in the bedroom. When brought before the judge I told him I would not stay away from.the house and told him only god can judge me.

Dublin is not a viable place to go and stay any more. I'd 4 nights in center parcs last week and a night in a hotel in dublin wasn't far off the same cost so went to mullingar instead where I got a great apartment in a hotel for 100 odd euros.
Mullingar is great for the heifers

A staunch orangeman in the field on the twelfth, feels unwell and a doctor confirms that he is dying. The orangeman tells his friends to get a priest. When the priest arrives, he the orangeman asks the priest to baptise him.

His friends are astounded "But we thought you were a good orangeman?"

Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines suffered "leaks" overnight putting the out of use even if there was a desire for European countries to take gas from Russia again.  Strong suggestion that there were 2 explosions that sabotaged them.
The question is was it the Russians or the Americans who did it.

Drug dealing comes with a health warning, if he was getting warnings about this then he obviously thought he'd be safe enough as he hasn't taken any precautions by going to his local, as for it being the DC it could have been any club/bar/cafe ...

In 1911 the north-east of the island accounted for two-thirds of industrial output while Dublin accounted for more than 50% of output in the rest of Ireland. By 1967 Ireland had overtaken Northern Ireland's industrial employment and today NI has less than a third of the Republic's industrial employment.

Usual hyperbole. I assume she's  alluding to a scheme already in operation in Wales.

Actually pharmacists in the north can prescribe antibiotics in certain very specific circumstances and being qualified as a PIP.

However, there is a crisis in the GP service within the NHS, and unfortunately if people can't see a gp. People can't get to see our Doctors.

The principal of a special needs school in Londonderry who was found not guilty of rape and sexual assault charges has said he has lost all faith in the police and criminal justice system.

Michael Dobbins was cleared of 10 charges last week.

Throughout the two-week trial, a number of witnesses claimed the alleged victim was "besotted by" and "adored" him.

Mr Dobbins said he intended to take legal action against the police and the Public Prosecution Service (PPS).

Don't get me wrong there are plenty of scumbags on both sides- tenants that refuse to pay/make a complete mess of the house. Plenty of sc**bag landlords as well as seen by the extortionate rent prices nationwide.

I'm an accidental landlord (1 house) and yes someone like me is depending on every payment. thankfully the tenants have always paid so far but this eviction ban is the sort of thing that could motivate a tenant into not paying.

Yes a tenant should have rights. No a landlord should not be able to exponentially increase rent, as we are seeing especially in Dublin. Equally a landlord should have the right to throw a tenant out if they aren't paying rent.

there is a balance and I am aware that I am completely the other side to you.

Why would they not work here or why do they not work?

No chance I'm afraid. I hope some nationalist leaning alliance voters think twice though this time.

The only way DUP won't be in either first or deputy first position is if another unionist party overtakes them and I don't see that happening for a long time yet. Alliance might well become 2nd biggest party but they are still going to be the 3rd largest denomination so it makes no difference where they finish

Alliance should come out as what they are- unionist. In an ideal world they are in as second largest party snd with 2 reasonable parties in charge the executive may actually be able to function

Not really sure what thread to put this one in, suppose this as good as any. See a total ban on evictions from November to March. Obviously has it's benefits, but what is a landlord to do with a nightmare tenant that won't pay ?

Proof that the Irish republic is going down a far- left abyss. A great day for scum bags, Paul Murphy & people before people must be proud. Wait until the drug Fentanyl reaches Ireland - God love us all. This is why Italy, Sweden, UK are turning to the hard right. Don't get me wrong they're not much better, however history has shown, in times of crisis people turn to populists.

Have you seen the shit going on with landlords and rent hikes? Then your take on it is a great day for scumbags??

It must be the fault of the
Quotetofu-eating wokerati
:o

We live in a capitalist western society, unfortunately landlords can charge what the market is willing to pay. If I'm a landlord & I'm dependent on the rent to pay my mortgage, I will likely default through no fault of my own. What if I want to sell the property or the renter is trashing the property.  The Irish republic is not a subsidized state, no magic money tree here. Your last comment/ quote is un-called for in this context.

So should a tenant have no rights? Should landlords be able to exponentially increase rent?

Right back at you, should a landlord have no rights? A landlord can exponentially increase rent, that how western society works. Rent caps have been brought in, in other countries, not sure they work so well.
Exponential rent increases weren't very popular in Roscommon in the 1880s. A lot of big houses didn't make it.

If someone breaks into your house at 3am intent on violence I personally think you should be able to use anything at your disposal. If he was making his dinner and had a knife in his hand I see no difference and he he should be allowed to have at it.

If I picked it up right it wasn't a burgarly. He broke into the house after a nights drinking because he thought the boy inside had damaged his car. So I'm assuming they knew each other and had history? If so probably not just as straight forward as someone defending themselves against a random intruder trying to rob the place.

Thought it was waterford whispers news for a second. What an absolute sc**bag of a judge.
Who keeps a knife by their bed?
Do most people not keep something under the bed in case the worst happens? Probably a smart idea to start.

I always keep something nearby to be honest.  Does it matter where he got the knife from anyway, the fact is a man intent on violence broke into his house and he sorted it out.  Disgraceful judgement.
Yeah. For me anyone that breaks into your house loses all rights. The lad was 17 at the time if I'm reading it right as well
So you're saying people have a right to kill others so long as it's part of a break in? What level of violence, if any, is needed before you should be legally entitled to kill them? Are you Derek Chauvin?

Also he got like 3 years, including time on remand, how's that disgraceful!?
Did you actually just type that out haha my god. They're nowhere near the same thing.
You don't have a right to kill anybody, but he defended himself and his home at a split second heat of the moment. He's hardly gonna ask the burglar to politely to turn around and go back out the front door is he ;D

If I picked it up right it wasn't a burgarly. He broke into the house after a nights drinking because he thought the boy inside had damaged his car. So I'm assuming they knew each other and had history? If so probably not just as straight forward as someone defending themselves against a random intruder trying to rob the place.

Did he break in just to have a word with him?

Doesn't change a thing. In that case your man still broke into the house and was planning on harming the person who lives there, I'd say that's even more of a reason to physically defend yourself, whether he was planning on stealing anything or not.

Defendant stabs him once or twice in retaliation or self defence,  can perhaps justify that. Multiple stab wounds,  harder to defend. We don't know the mechanics of the stabbing so it's hard to say if it was excessive or not. Many people base their opinions on headline pieces and don't actually know the ins and outs. Every set of facts stands on its own feet

In this circumstance what should the kid do , pull the blankets up over his head and hope his mother and himself will be ok ? If he confronts the intruder should he bring something to defend himself and if so is he prepared to use it if necessary.
My opinion is if you break into someone's house and end up dead that's on you .

What is it that's so hard to believe? If someone breaks in to your house, you've a right to defend yourself. No one denies that. But if you end up killing someone don't be surprised if  get done for manslaughter. And it's not judge that's a **** for applying the law.

It's not black and white in each situation I suppose. You'd be entitled to defend yourself to the point of having the threat of the intruder neutralised but if you then go overboard to inflict further unnecessary damage then that's obviously a different story.

Since the Tony Martin case we have the Immigration Act defence in the North. For me that if anything goes too far. It should be the same as with any form of self defence. I am entitled to defend myself or another and May strike first to do so provided my actions are a proportionate response to what I honestly believe is happening. That belief need only be honest not reasonable. I can only avail of self defence if the risk to me or another is immediate. For example if I subdue someone who has attacked me I can't punish him him with a few more slaps once he's no longer a risk to me and call it self defence.

From my understanding of this case the home owner after realising the intruder was unarmed and no longer a threat continued to attack him before fatally wounding him. The prosecution thought they could prove an intention to kill or inflict GBH. The judge felt he went well beyond what was necessary. I think if you do either of those things then you run the risk of a severe sentence and rightly so.

There's more to this than meets the eye methinks..

The fact that he is a moderate risk of violent reoffending in the future, would also cause you to think that way.

Is that determination simply based on the killing of the intruder though?

I think you are right;

It was outlined how Justice McDermott received a number of reports in relation to Kerrie, including a probation report which assessed him as being at 'moderate risk of violent offending in the future if the risk factors for this were not addressed in a meaningful way.'

He said according to the report, Kerrie was still not capable of identifying what alternative course of action he could have taken, as opposed to stabbing Mr. Power.

He didn't get 13 years. He got a life sentence. 13 years is the tariff. That is to say he can not apply for parole (apply not get) for 13 years. After that period he still won't get parole until he can satisfy the independent parole commissioners that he is either no longer a risk of serious harm (almost impossible) or that his risk can be managed (very difficult). The average in NI is for prisoners to served something like 8 years post tariff before they get parole. Even then he will remain subject to life licence and therefore liable to recall to prison for life.

That makes more of a case for threat to life then.  Robbers can hurt people, but primary motive is gaining things of value.  This fella went looking to hurt the child in the house and whatever happened after that is his own fault.

13 years. A joke

He didn't get 13 years. He got a life sentence. 13 years is the tariff. That is to say he can not apply for parole (apply not get) for 13 years. After that period he still won't get parole until he can satisfy the independent parole commissioners that he is either no longer a risk of serious harm (almost impossible) or that his risk can be managed (very difficult). The average in NI is for prisoners to served something like 8 years post tariff before they get parole. Even then he will remain subject to life licence and therefore liable to recall to prison for life.

The average sentence for murder should be every last day of their life behind bars - simple and consistent.
Especially in circumstances like this.

Don't sicken me. I thought the last cut at start of Nov would do it! Definitely need to do it again  :(

Grass cut yesterday too.. 21.2 degrees in Wales today

I'm glad I'm not the only one having to make a shape at cutting grass at the moment.

On another note we drove past a house last night and they had their Christmas tree up already!!
Half my street has theirs up! I thought Halloween was bad, barely a week had passed and the first house put their Christmas decorations up! Absolute weirdos.

Aye have it up 2 months before Christmas then cant wait to get them down on St Stephens day, just look at me people, have to be first up first down.
Jaysus I be the opposite, hate seeing decorations up early but then hate to see them coming down as well.

Yep put them up about 15th Dec-6th Jan

What's even more depressing, according to Martin Lewis - and I never really thought of it like this, reducing inflation doesnt reduce prices.
Lets say inflation reduces to 5% next year.
Something that cost £100 last year, costs £111.10 this year.
@5% inflation next year that same item will cost £116.65.
So costs are going to keep going up.

However, things like Gas prices might actually come down in 2 years, depending on how things work out.

No they won't.

This inflation is not due to excess demand, it's due to material sourcing costs rising AND getting ripped off by the BP's of the world.

Not sure I follow your thinking there.  Increased wages are an increased cost to suppliers/retailers.  An increased cost that will most likely be passed on to consumers by increased prices??  Thereby fuelling further inflation.

Yes. I'm pretty sure there was a short period of deflation in the mid 2010s. If not deflation it certainly was at 0%.

Yes, if the original reason for the inflation was excessive demand in the economy, but this wasn't the case this time round, it was a huge increase in cost of resources, i,e, gas/oil coupled by corporate greed.

There have been no pay rises in real terms in the public sector for near on 10 years, and the private sector has hardly raced ahead either so it wasn't huge pay rises that caused inflation to hit 11%, so what was it in your opinion?

I agree that the reasons for this inflation spike are not borne out of wage increases but that doesn't matter.  MR2 cited increasing wages as a problem going forward and he's right.  If wages start to increase excessively then it will lead to a bigger problem as it will lead to further inflation for longer.  It's called the wage-price spiral.

There's the key word and with current inflation at 11% an excessive wage increase would be north of that and that's not going to happen in a significant number.

Anything less than 11% is a pay cut in real terms.

It's common sense.  If overheads go up (with wages being the biggest expense in most businesses) then these will be passed on to the consumer at least in part.

It is the key word though the bigger the wage increases the more risk that the economy spirals out of control.  It's a very tricky time for everyone concerned. You're looking at it at on a personal level which is perfectly understandable but it does have an effect on a macro-economic level.  That's what central banks and governments are worried about.

The contractors have a term of something like 25 years. The East Link bridge in Dublin has already passed this point, the council just uses it to generate money.
I expect the other roads end up in this way over the next decade or they might require the contactor to build something else to be allowed extend the term.

The short lived Poker tee brewery from Carrickmore named one of their beers Nirvana on the back of that.

It's a Muslim country, why would it be WTF? FIFA knew this and so did Budwiser

So everything was put in place inside the stadiums to sell beer in the hope they a: they wouldn't be noticed and b: allowed to sell it to spectators? The 11th hour U-turn is the wft part I'd say

I'm not surprised a Muslim country have banned drinking or encouraging it..

I'm more surprised that people are concerned that drinking at a football stadium is banned when you can't drink in the stands at most football stadiums. They also had a limit of 4 drinks initially.

Croke park banned drinking at the stadium during covid, no one lost their shit, in fact watching the games sober is actually a better experience

For me it's not a what the f**k moment but glad yourself and kidder, who should actually just use the ignore function, are thinking it's a WTF, that's fine though

I don't think it's a wtf that a Muslim country would ban alcohol. But I think its a wtf that 2 days out from hosting the world Cup they ban it from the stadium after previously promising that it would be allowed, after fifa securing a massive sponsorship deal from budweiser, that they will surely face a massive lawsuit on. Yeah I would think that's a bit of a wtf. Like what else are they going to uturn on? That maybe not "all fans will be welcomed"?

Disgrace that it's being held at this time of year, squeezed into the middle of the season with basically no break before or after for proper preparation and recovery. That fact is the craziest for me. It shouldn't have been held in Qatar either but Russia getting it was no worse a decision, at least it was played according to the normal schedule etc.

Is there a GAA team up round Twinbrook? See a video going round of a serious row at a dinner dance, hard to know if it's genuine.

Linenhall street not that bad these days at all - in fact you rarely see anything. Always mind years ago walking down it and the big guy with the big gut who used to strut round with the leather mini skirt and the high heels was doing the rounds looking for business from passing cars.

I think up the other side of the dublin road maybe worse and some of them apartments down by the lagan / close to odyssey.

A boy I used to work with rented an apartment and went to check in one day and the woman thought he was a client so answered the door with no top on so he got a fair old shock  ;D He ousted her so must have been in terms and conditions not to be conducting that kind of business lol.

imtommygunn seems to know an awful lot here....

The question of people trafficking though is very serious and given how widespread round the place these hits were it's very clear this is a very well organised gang operation. I hope the poor women get plenty of support as they have obviously been through an awful ordeal.

Would have been a busy enough street back in the day from what I can remember but by f**k they were ugly!! Ya wouldn't have went near them with a barge pole but no end of cars turning up and picking them up..

We went to Zen the other night and had a laugh about it saying there was none about, the reality is when looking back it must have been so bad and as dangerous as it is now..

These places now seem to be flat out, and they are flat out because more and more people are looking for them, I thought those websites like POF and so on sorted that side of handy sex

The human trafficking is crazy so hopefully these people do so serious time

Lets call it for what it is, scumbags taking advantage of poor girls down on their luck like thon hoor on spotlight getting lifted as he came out from Mass on the Ormeau Road (by the looks of it).
Preying on young girls who're either in care or suffering from addition, or both, wee girl going dry off the drink, he buys her a bottle of vodka. sc**bag.

and lets not forget about the other scumbags who pay for these girls services, every bit as bad..

The number of brothels doesn't surprise me but it does remind me of a case I did years ago which was one of the first paying for sex prosecutions in NI. Basically cops were raiding this farm house between Portadown and Armagh for drugs when they see this client approach on a bike. Despite the house being pretty obviously raided at the time he keeps cycling towards them. Eventually he arrives and one cop asks him is he here to pick up drugs he says no I'm here for the ride. Cops ask what do you mean he tells them he cycles up once a fortnight for sex. Police then raid the inside of the farmhouse and find a sec dungeon. They had no idea it was there before he showed up.

Only when Bryson was there. There was very very little(headline wise) about meetings with the LCC - about the history of the LCC's members and about the current status of LCC members. That's what I mean. There was very little about change of direction on protocol post meetings with the LCC. This has been going on for a long time and isn't recent.

Sure isn't it par for the course? It's triggered pages of discussion over two threads on here too. Same when people sang REBEL SONGS at a Wolfe Tones concert (I know, pearl clutching stuff) - pages and pages of debate on here about the "controversy". A few weeks ago, loyalist paramilitaries strongly hinted that they were considering ending their 1994 ceasefire and went further by issuing a direct threat to any southern politician that crossed the border and it barely caused a flutter of mentions, neither here nor anywhere else.

Now while Arlene's father was targeted by the IRA, I find it hard to muster much sympathy over what happened her in the video given her own long history of callous disregard for victims, be that her regular appearances standing beside active UDA paramilitaries for photo shoots or her staunch defence of the right of bandsmen to parade around Derry in uniforms bearing the Parachute Regiment insignia, for instance.

She'll use whatever thing that comes her way to show republicans/nationalist up and its daft to fuel that and that's what this girl did.

What's happening on the loyalist side also needs to be given headlines and those questions need to be asked and if they are not being asked by the stations in the north that needs to be challenged.

I never watch the news in the south to be honest (and generally wouldn't watch the news up here) , but do they challenge or even report on things regarding links with the DUP and the LCC?

Depends what she does I suppose. If she's self employed I'd say most people wouldnt be too worried and will be completely forgotten about this time next year anyway.

I think that was a pretty disgusting thing that girl did to Foster. Foster is a bigot and a nasty one at that. The way I look at it, her father was a soldier who was shot in a war when his daughter was 8 yrs old. That war is over. I think it is obscene to go to the daughter of that soldier and mock her chanting the name of the people who shot her father. Furthermore, i think any republican who supports such carry on or makes apologies for it is no republican in my book. And I say all that with having nothing but contempt for Foster as a politician but there has to be a line somewhere and it was crossed here.

I think you are all missing the point here. That girl didn't target her with the intent of her father being shot and to rub AF's nose in it. It was off the cuff and i'd bet she hadn't a clue the harm it would cause and i'd bet 100% she'd take it all back in heart beat. People sing "Up the Ra" all the time (young ones) and don't have a clue with what went on in the troubles and what the hell they're singing about. It's well for all you guys who are whiter than white and have never done anything you shouldn't have after consuming alcohol, that girl's career is probably over before it even got started for something like that, most of you want her hanged drawn and quartered.

Yesterday, the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ) released it's latest report which found that housing threats and racist attacks are widespread in areas under loyalist paramilitary control.

That's just a few weeks on from loyalists threatening to end their 1994 ceasefire and a issuing specific threat against any southern politician who crosses the border.

So it's definitely a good job so many people are determined to focus on the latest 'somebody said up the ra' scandal.

It highlights a wider problem in society were this glorification of terrorism is being normalised on both sides. People are right to be upset and to call this out wherever it happens. Imagine if it was a Nazi salute or maybe glorification of ISIS.

Especially when I'm merely trying to get you to answer a question that I've tried before to get you to answer. You're on record as defining a terrorist group as one that:

uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
So, it's a straightforward question: Were the British Army also terrorists?

Seriously, she can't be that stupid, she obviously seen the video with Kyle Laff, and the singing at the Wolf Tones and knew who Foster is, so she know the kick back from that. Doesn't look so smart now.

This - unless she was hiding under a rock for the last year.

It highlights a wider problem in society were this glorification of terrorism is being normalised on both sides. People are right to be upset and to call this out wherever it happens. Imagine if it was a Nazi salute or maybe glorification of ISIS.

That wee girl isn't even old enough to remember the troubles. Sad that this is were society is at.
Yeah because for an Irish person the ira = the nazis or isis. Give your head a wobble

What's the difference? They all killed people to further their political aims. What am I missing?

So did the British Army. They killed/colluded in killing hundreds of innocent people here to further British political aims. Are they also "terrorists" who are akin to nazis and Isis?

Answered this many times before. Asking the same question won't get a different answer.

Well you have absolutely no problem in repeating (over and over again) your claim that the IRA were terrorists and no different to ISIS, so forgive me for asking you to repeat your answer to my question as to whether you would regard the British Army as terrorists because I don't recall/can't find where you have answered it at all. In fact, the last time this discussion came up, you dodged the question for several pages and then your last comment was to merely state that the British Army doesn't regard itself as a terrorist group.

Quote from: trailer on August 17, 2022, 02:45:35 PM
The British Army would say that they had the legitimacy from their government and of course that government was democratically elected so that would not make them a terrorist organisation per se. Whether you or I like it, they view the six counties as British. Did they commit awful crimes against the population here? Absolutely. Did they commit war crimes? Absolutely. Will they ever face justice? Not a chance and the exact same goes for the IRA.

I think it's fair to say I wasn't asking you what the British army's opinion on the question is. Rather I was (and still am) asking for your own opinion. Do you regard the British Army as terrorists given your own definition of a terrorist group as being one that "uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."?

Yesterday, the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ) released it's latest report which found that housing threats and racist attacks are widespread in areas under loyalist paramilitary control.

That's just a few weeks on from loyalists threatening to end their 1994 ceasefire and a issuing specific threat against any southern politician who crosses the border.

So it's definitely a good job so many people are determined to focus on the latest 'somebody said up the ra' scandal.
Maybe they should be focusing on the republican terrorists who have been more than threatening to get back to vilolence in recent days.

From 'Squinter' on twitter:

"The Leinster rugby squad was given the PA on a flight back from Glasgow to sing 'Ooh, ah, up the Ra.' Consequence? Nothing. A young woman who did it has been subjected to a week of ceaseless vilification, culminating today in holiday pix of her in a bikini in a Sunday paper.
If you joined in this carnival of rank hypocrisy, if you had nothing to say about famous, wealthy, privileged sportsmen and joined this now mental health-threatening pile-on, hang your head. Especially if you are a woman. I hope today she is getting the support she needs."

I didn't ask you about the girl either but you've said plenty about her.

Like I say, squinter hit the nail on the head.

And no, the Leinster team didn't say it to the daughter of someone targeted by the IRA, but neither did the Wolfe Tones, nor the Irish women's soccer team, but you didnt wait for me to invite you to commment on those either.

How do gobshites like that get bail. Some judges really need to be replaced

The court has to balance a number of factors. At the minute it seems the evidence linking the boys to the charges is flimsy. I'd have been more concerned if they were remanded. I heard the bail applications and was surprised they had been charged

It is unfair for unions to "disrupt people's lives" with public-sector strikes at Christmas, Conservative chairman Nadhim Zahawi has said.


Mr Zahawi also told the BBC Russian President Vladimir Putin "wants to see" strikes, but unions criticised this.

A 28-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of two police officers in a bomb attack in County Tyrone.

Charlie Love, of Bridge Street, Strabane, is charged with two counts of attempted murder as well as charges of causing an explosion and possessing explosives.

The charges are in connection with an attack on police in Strabane on 17 November.

Mr Love has been remanded into custody.

At Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, a detective inspector told the court he could connect the accused to the charges.

Mr Love spoke only to confirm he understood the charges.

The court heard that at 22:58 GMT on 17 November, a police patrol in Strabane experienced "a large flash and a loud bang" as their vehicle passed through the Mount Carmel area of the town.

The detective told the court that officers discovered a crater at a building site during follow up searches.

They heard that further forensic tests showed that a military grade explosive was used.

A command wire leading to what police believe was a firing point close to a tree stump was also found, the officer said.

A drill and wiring, which detectives believed to be the trigger mechanism, were also discovered, the court was told.

The detective inspector also told the court there was CCTV evidence of a figure wearing dark clothing running away after the explosion and down an alleyway.

A former secretary who worked for the commander of a Nazi concentration camp has been convicted of complicity in the murders of more than 10,505 people.

Irmgard Furchner, 97, was taken on as a teenaged typist at Stutthof and worked there from 1943 to 1945.

Furchner, one of the few women to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades, was given a two-year suspended jail term.

An 88-year-old Frenchman caused a panic after arriving at a hospital with a World War One artillery shell lodged in his rectum.

Hospital Sainte Musse, in Toulon, southern France, was evacuated after the unnamed pensioner turned up on Saturday evening hoping that someone would free the explosive from his anus.

Doctors understandably were worried that the shell could explode inside the man, who is understood to have inserted the item in his backside for sexual pleasure.

Fortunately bomb squad disposal experts arrived shortly after and determined that there was little risk that the shell would blow up, and managed to put surgeons at ease, French news outlet Var-Matin reports.

Doctors made an incision and surgically removed the First World War collector's item, which measured at 8 inches long (20cm) and more than 2 inches wide (5cm).

Doctors made an incision and were able to remove the explosive.
A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse said: 'An emergency occurred from 9pm to 11.30pm on Saturday that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and paediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies.

'We had to manage the risk in a reactive framework. When in doubt, we took all the precautions.'

The spokesperson added that the senior citizen was recovering well and was in "good health".


It's not every day that a doctor has to remove an explosive from a patient's rectum, but this isn't the first time it's happened.

Just over one year ago, a military memorabilia collector in the Gloucester area got a World War Two artillery shell stuck in his rectum after he "slipped and fell" while tidying up.

The police and army were dispatched, but the projectile had been removed before officers arrived.

Maybe not a wtf and not sure if this has been posted, but whats everyones opinions?
His bar his rules. Pintmen only - as it should be
Yeah agree tbh. Funny thing is the profit margins are far greater % wise on soft drinks than pints

Few friends of mine have all changed their xmas drinks to Bittles bar now in support

I'd agree as well with the barman. Plenty of other places to get a glass of coke around the city without taking up a table in a small bar. If the coke was included in a round of pints they'd have got it no bother.

But the bar makes more margin on the coke than on the pints.
I think on health grounds no licencee should be able to refuse to serve non alchohoic drinks.

10 pints of Guinness is probably healthier than 10 pints of Coke!

It's a crazy situation. The North has a very high level of femicide,  one of the highest in Europe. During lockdown domestic abuse rose at an alarming rate and there really is a serious problem.

On a side note there is also an issue around the reporting of these killings,  and it was very evident at the time of the Aisling Murphy killing. Wall to wall coverage,  and rightly so. Similar in this situation. In a horrible way they are a 'good' victim. If their partners were drug dealers or serial criminals and they were from that work the narrative is always slightly different unfortunately. A killing is a killing.

Was someone not bailed ? So not out of the woods, it's rare a murder charge is made straightaway.

Are any of the arrested purported to be the man in the video?  Seems to be a high number of murders in Lurgan, they still haven't caught the killer of Laura Marshall, who was killed close enough to the latest victim. If this was an American movie you would be assuming a link between the two.

Pre charge bail. Barely worth the paper it's written on. Conditions are unenforceable and suggests there's no real evidence at this stage. My Experience is that it's certainly not rare for murder charges to be brought right away.

Also a lot of the time police have a strong idea who the killer is but evidence is not there to charge. I'm no lover of the cops but their job is not easy as the expectation is to have an early arrest and charge. This can lead to a bad case which gets pulled apart.

Watched the Netflix episodes.  It came across very explicitly in the documentary that Megan had been fed to the wolves through the establishments PR, very similar to how Diana was treated also. The amount of info and leaks to the press was insane. Thinks its fairly clear that they are taking control of the agenda. Also letting the Williams and Charlie's comms team know to behave or there will be more revelations. One small recent example was the language used by Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson about the couple, they should have been wiped out by the establishment, but they made no comment. Just content for thedrip drip effect. Personally don't give a toss, but glad to see the two of them dig back.

The best one was about them inviting George Clooney & his wife to their wedding

But they had never met either of them before  :-\

Not really the pair of them wanted the lifestyle without having to do do any actual work. The royals have a pretty easy life but hey Harry and Meghan couldn't even be arsed to do the odd ribbon cutting and mingle with the plebs to warrant the lavish lifestyle and probably felt they could make even more money with all their tell tales. For a pair of supposed wokes I couldn't think of 2 more privileged brats. Harry cheated at his a levels, then went into the army and made a right dick of himself with his racist carry-on and then couldn't be bothered to do his royal duties. I mean ffs what has he actually done with himself yet has the nerve to preach about everyone else. Like I said earlier the rest of the royals are pretty awful, the queen I guess was ok but has now gone but Harry seems to make the rest look almost normal.

Sick listening to these pair of whingebags at this point. They'll probably keep sharing their feelings with the world as long as the money keeps rolling in.

They will keep  churning  out the sh1te  for the tv shows/books as they have  a market of millions of idiots who lap up  everything they say.

Willy and Harry  had a barney  over who got to  sit facing forwards in the gold Cinderella carriage . That will make a riveting   Netflix episode.

If it hadn't been for Morgan, Pearson, Hopkins, Clarkson, et al ranting about them they would have faded into irrelevance by now. Many who might otherwise have just rolled their eyes at the latest self indulgent whine feel the need to defend them from the establishment contrarians.

Thats what a lot of this comes down to. Whatever Harry and Meghan may or may not have done- I don't really care tbh, none of it is anywhere near what that kiddie fiddling sweaty nonce was at. The difference in media outrage is an absolute joke.

The 'royal family' is a complete aberration, but drives huge revenues for the English media, in particular the tabloids. Therefore scum like the Mail and the Sun and Clarkson and Morgan have to go all out to attack Harry and Meghan to keep the gravy train going (and very ironic the support the scum are getting from some Irish GAA folk on this board, ffs!).

Harry is a breath of fresh air from this aberration of a family. He is breaking the omertà. Saying a lot of stuff that many people know already or don't care about, but still it's all stuff that's 'not allowed' to be spoken of. The most illuminating that the royals feed the tabloids, they keep each other relevant. Fair fecks to Harry, he'll likely fail as the British media is so powerful but he's doing his best to unveil the charade.

Yea fair dues I say.  From watching his interviews and that show, its apparent that he was sick to death of the misinformation being spouted to the press, and thus the wider public, on himself and the wife, from his own family none the less.   

The issue the tabloids are having, and the family, is that he is not going directly to them, as the rest of the royals would.  You could bet your hole that if he was giving exclusive interviews to the sun, he would be the best cnut in the world by their books.

Agree with this. The easy life would be to continue to bow to the vile English tabloid press and allow them to dictate their lives. The whole concept of a royal family is a totally artificial charade and an ongoing soap opera but they didn't choose the lifestyle that is bestowed upon them so at least he has the balls to choose his own path knowing the kickback from the English press would likely be fierce. The chances are high that they are fighting a losing battle since the big UK media moguls will double down as they seek to protect their influence on British popular opinion and thus their own financial interests.

As I've said before the Royals embolden the class system that these hoors feed off and keep the plebs in their place.

Each to their own but personally, the 'Harry and Megan show' doesn't really cost me a thought

I can quite easily ignore it, and I don't really understand why an Irish person would get their knickers in a twist about it in any way whatsoever

But I do quite enjoy watching the havoc they are creating for that shower of blue blooded halfwits

It's also got the BNP/UKIP/Uber-Tory cohort up in arms - which can never be a bad thing

I have not watched the Oprah interview, the Netflix series or bought the Book. But the media coverage is so intense that you just can't avoid the revelations. All media parties in this circus are interested in keeping this going and making as much money out of it as they can. At the moment it's the gift that just keeps giving. Surely at some stage it will reach it's peak as there are only so many revelations that Harry can reveal.

3 years in jail, I think the same on licence and then deportation to Romania at the end of his jail sentence so the licence period would be irrelevant.

2 1/2 years in the clink, another 2 years on license but then I think he gets deported back to Romania.

Killed his mate and the lad in the taxi coming from the rugby so very lenient IMO as well.

He was doing 46/47mph in a 30 zone, so he wasn't even close to being within the speed limit. His mate wasn't wearing a seatbelt, I wonder would it have saved him

Slightly off topic but would be an interesting comparison to look at how much EU funding has gone into improving the roads infrastructure in the 26 over the past couple of decades. Must have been a massive investment and one likely to continue and one not to be repeated up here unfortunately. So the gap is likely to widen across all areas of infrastructure but at least we have taken back control  >:(

Railways are a joke East and West of the Bann. No train station at Belfast City airport even though the Sydenham stop is across the road. The Train doesn't stop at Aldergrove airport despite it again going past and in Derry I think it all but crosses the runway and doesn't stop. Translink are clean useless as a service provider.
The Armagh Newry road which is a main road that links Mid Ulster to Dublin is terrible. And of course we all know about the pantomime that the A5 has become.

And yet, and yet... we actually go out in our droves and vote for politicians who could not run a bath. Who oversee the most incompetent bunch of amateurs that is the NICS.

I think the 50s were hard for Northern nationalists. The North got the NHS and infrastructural investment. The UK was booming.
There was loads of work.

The South was mired in shite, totally mismanaged. Christy Ring drove an oil truck for a living.
It would have been hard even in South Armagh to argue that Ireland was better.

But nothing lasts forever. The UK now is in a structural crisis. Unionism is lost.
NI has 36% of the population of the South and generates 8% of the economic value generated on the island.

That wouldn't even qualify for the Nicky Rackard.

It wasn't murder because the prosecution need to prove an intention to kill or do really serious harm. In this case the prosecution knew they couldn't do that which is often the case so the offence had to be manslaughter. 50% remission no longer applies in Northern Ireland for any sentence of 12 months or more. Murder carries an automatic life sentence manslaughter does not. Given the plethora of ways Manslaughter can be committed it's hard to have any real definitive guidelines on it.

3 years in jail, I think the same on licence and then deportation to Romania at the end of his jail sentence so the licence period would be irrelevant.

Not irrelevant or a ground to increase the sentence though, consistency will be needed to ensure justice.

I have never seen why there is a difference between death by dangerous driving and manslaughter. The former seems to carry a much lower tariff. if getting pissed and killing someone with your car isn't "unintentional killing through an unlawful act" I don't know what is.

Do the crime, do the time, 3and 4 yrs for (I call it murder, not manslaughter) is shocking. But this place long by normal. Sentencing guidelines like everything else needs serious overhaul!

It wasn't murder because the prosecution need to prove an intention to kill or do really serious harm. In this case the prosecution knew they couldn't do that which is often the case so the offence had to be manslaughter. 50% remission no longer applies in Northern Ireland for any sentence of 12 months or more. Murder carries an automatic life sentence manslaughter does not. Given the plethora of ways Manslaughter can be committed it's hard to have any real definitive guidelines on it.
Would someone who killed an intruder in self defence be charged with the same then depending on level of force used? That really doesn't sit right with me, I think those lads knew what they were doing and maybe they didnt intend to kill him but definitely intended to do serious harm. Then going back the next day to him still lying in the same spot and not raising the alarm.

Same with the boy on the Ravenhill road, Belfast, who killed two people drunk driving. Hugely lenient I would have thought. I think he was 2 or 3 years?

3 years in jail, I think the same on licence and then deportation to Romania at the end of his jail sentence so the licence period would be irrelevant.

Not irrelevant or a ground to increase the sentence though, consistency will be needed to ensure justice.
I have never seen why there is a difference between death by dangerous driving and manslaughter. The former seems to carry a much lower tariff. if getting pissed and killing someone with your car isn't "unintentional killing through an unlawful act" I don't know what is.
Agreed

Manslaughter sounds like US Justice Potter Stewart's test in 1964 on hard core pornography: "I know it when I see it."

I don't think it is anymore. There's been a real increase in tariffs for death by dangerous in recent years whilst the range for manslaughter is widening. Both though will turn heavily on the facts.

Well I don't really know the facts of this case but an intention to commit really serious harm as opposed to simply harm can be very difficult to prove. Going back the day after isn't relevant to a proving what the intention was at the time of the initial attack.

Defence of property is a bit of a controversial one. Following the Tony Martin case the UK inserted a section into the Criminal Justice and immigration Act that allowed homeowners to use force that was not grossly disproportionate to defend their property. So killing an intruder either in self defence or in defence of property would now rarely result in a prosecution at all.

Far as I see, the law not about justice for persons killed, but multi options to reduce sentencing. Man slaughter should be a case where somebody accidentally killed. Even when these lads knew the man was dead, they didn't report it and denied all, to manslaughter was offered. The fact that they done nothing, hoped to get off with it, and denied it, up to the last second, should be criteria for increasing sentencing.

Those things will have been aggravating factors. All I'm saying is that the offence is too wide to have anymore prescriptive sentencing.

Rumour mill in overdrive over the weekend, majority of which is horseshit (Ironic that one of the misleading WhatsApp's comes from someone who allegedly money-launders)

There's been a couple of sudden deaths including at least one suicide, along with a murder, all being linked with drugs along with speculation of unpaid debts, vendettas etc. There's a gang that run the drugs in the area, a collection of individuals based Kilwilke and Mourneview. The same crowd shot Malcolm McKeown in Waringstown couple years back, they're getting the blame for the most recent murder. There could be a degree of truth re Dublin involvement, they have been known to come north to the likes of Glenavy, Crumlin etc before, they will come and sit outside houses and watch people that owe them, attack their cars and shoot them if they're so inclined (Warren Crossan, Mark Hall, etc)
Lurgan is full of drugs, back in the day the Provos would have just shot the ringleaders dead.

The f**king triggered state of you  ;D
she should head over to china to protest they consume over 50% of total worldwide im sure they would roll out the red carpet for her .

Always love this argument about China being the big, bad wolf in Climate change, when ultimately their undoubted emissions are heavily driven by Western consumerism.

Fix that and you'll fix China.

Not sure this is totally true any more.

China as a nation has evolved in the last decade to become one of the largest consumers of goods in the world.

"the country represented $0.21 of every dollar spent globally on high-end goods from apparel and handbags to fragrances and cosmetics to luxury automobiles (in 2020)."

"By 2025, China is estimated to represent between 40% and 45% of global luxury goods sales, compared to the Americas' 21%-23% and Europe's 16%-18%."

Now obviously, their per capita spend would be lower

EU Beef deals with South America, forcing the Irish man out or reducing his herd size substantially . While Brazil cut down more rain forests for land for this excess substandand beef. Not to mention shipping, air freight costs & associated carbon emissions to get this beef on our plates. By the next 25 years the EU will be wound up, countries will leave one by one, it will be seen for the steaming pile of shite that it is. The hypocrisy of these fools & our Irish puppet politicians with their trousers around their ankles knows no bounds.

Have you any links to this? Any links to the change in EU food standards regulations allowing substandard beef to be exported? Any links to any gaps in the market created by countries with massive economies leaving the EU? Any links to subsidies offered to Irish/EU farmers over the past 40 years?

I replied to Austin P in relation to land grab aided by Coillte, so less land to farm will lead to less beef, less revenue, more people living away from small villages / small towns, which will have an adverse affect on society. The trade deal with SA will fill the void left by decrease in beef, which will inevitably happen if we reduce farm land, Irish government reaches targets of reducing cattle stock, as per climate change targets.

People can have reasoned debate without being angry, you should try it sometime, might improve your life.

How much "decent" Irish farming land is going into forestry?

In my own case, half of what constituted our family farm in south Donegal was planted by Coillte about 20 years ago when my auld lad retired. The rest we've been renting since, for better or worse. This is drumlin country and the land needs a lot of work just to support raising hardy beef cattle breeds. You can't have cattle on the land basically from November through until May when the grass finally starts to grow again or they poach the f**k out of it. You have to put slurry or fertilizer out pretty regularly, which itself can be hard to do many years as the land is too wet to drive a tractor across it, never mind a full tank of slurry (I remember years when it would be so continuously wet that we had to simply blow it over the hedge into the field from the road just to empty the pit ahead of the winter - much of it probably ran straight down into the river). For my father, getting it planted was simply a way to ensure some minimum level of income for him (and later my mother) from fairly marginal land. Neither myself or my siblings were ever given the option of even thinking about trying to scratch a living out of the land - off to university and professional careers for all of us.

On the other hand, I have big issues with planting large tracts of land with the likes of Sitka Spruce. It is a non-native species and they plant the trees so densely that there is zero sunlight reaching the ground and thus no undergrowth. The soil gets acidified, which affects local streams and rivers and the biodiversity within. There is little to no wildlife (including invertebrates) you'd associate with native woodlands in these plantations due to the lack of any plants apart from the trees themselves. You might get something along the edge where sunlight fosters the growth of additional species, but once you ten feet into the interior, forget it.

Surely there are native tree species, including spruces and pines, which could be planted on this type of land in a manner which both supports biodiversity and carbon sequestration goals but also could provide lumber through thinning on a sustainable basis?

I would agree on the Brazilian beef thing - no f**king way we should be supporting what they're doing over there in the Amazon.

Good post J70, the truth is most of the land ear marked for forestry is along the western seaboard, ie Donegal, Connacht, West Clare, Kerry, west Cork & some pockets of midland counties. This land was always a struggle as you say to make a living. However it should be an option to remain on a poor farm, nobody should be coerced into leaving for the big town & cities if they are happy scraping away. I posted a link from Michael Fitz, Independent TD in Roscommon, may be of some interest when you get time.

There was some research into the effects of high density planting of those non-native spruce on peat/bog area's and carbon sequestration. In many cases it actually led to net decrease in carbon sequestration as well as those terrible effects on biodiversity, soil/water quality etc.

Natives Irish trees used to be prized across Europe. The Brits cut them all down. Planting Sitka spruce is short sighted short termism.
The land can carry far more valuable species.

How much "decent" Irish farming land is going into forestry?

In my own case, half of what constituted our family farm in south Donegal was planted by Coillte about 20 years ago when my auld lad retired. The rest we've been renting since, for better or worse. This is drumlin country and the land needs a lot of work just to support raising hardy beef cattle breeds. You can't have cattle on the land basically from November through until May when the grass finally starts to grow again or they poach the f**k out of it. You have to put slurry or fertilizer out pretty regularly, which itself can be hard to do many years as the land is too wet to drive a tractor across it, never mind a full tank of slurry (I remember years when it would be so continuously wet that we had to simply blow it over the hedge into the field from the road just to empty the pit ahead of the winter - much of it probably ran straight down into the river). For my father, getting it planted was simply a way to ensure some minimum level of income for him (and later my mother) from fairly marginal land. Neither myself or my siblings were ever given the option of even thinking about trying to scratch a living out of the land - off to university and professional careers for all of us.

On the other hand, I have big issues with planting large tracts of land with the likes of Sitka Spruce. It is a non-native species and they plant the trees so densely that there is zero sunlight reaching the ground and thus no undergrowth. The soil gets acidified, which affects local streams and rivers and the biodiversity within. There is little to no wildlife (including invertebrates) you'd associate with native woodlands in these plantations due to the lack of any plants apart from the trees themselves. You might get something along the edge where sunlight fosters the growth of additional species, but once you ten feet into the interior, forget it.

Surely there are native tree species, including spruces and pines, which could be planted on this type of land in a manner which both supports biodiversity and carbon sequestration goals but also could provide lumber through thinning on a sustainable basis?

I would agree on the Brazilian beef thing - no f**king way we should be supporting what they're doing over there in the Amazon.

Good post J70, the truth is most of the land ear marked for forestry is along the western seaboard, ie Donegal, Connacht, West Clare, Kerry, west Cork & some pockets of midland counties. This land was always a struggle as you say to make a living. However it should be an option to remain on a poor farm, nobody should be coerced into leaving for the big town & cities if they are happy scraping away. I posted a link from Michael Fitz, Independent TD in Roscommon, may be of some interest when you get time.

Thanks Rudi. Watched a bit of there and did some additional reading through my lunch (I've been away from the scene for a long time, so I'm far from up to date on these matters).

At this point, pending further research, I can't really come down either way.

And again... disclaimer... I've been away a long time now and may be way out of touch.

But anyway, on the first issue, I will say I'm not very comfortable with the Irish government turning all of this stuff (and its not just forestry) over to private companies and funds, often from other countries. On the other hand, does the Irish taxpayer want to pay for this type of investment which is defensive in nature, a bit like spending money on your home to maintain it and prevent deterioration?

Second issue, the effect on land prices and putting it out of reach for ordinary famers? Yes, that's concerning, but honestly, at least where I come from, farming has for decades now been moving to a part time gig. Not all, but most farmers I knew either worked other jobs or had spouses who did (that was the case in our house). There was just no possible way to make enough money to raise a family and maintain land, fences, machinery and buildings on the income you might get from headage, calf or lamb sales and, later, schemes such as REPS. To me, I took it as written that small time farming in the west of Ireland was going to evolve into something little more than a pastime for local teachers or postmen or tradesmen. Many of these people would probably be just fine with getting 50K more for their 30 acres that forestry expansion might bring, especially if their kids weren't going to be taking over from them. Of course, that WILL negatively affect the young lad trying to scale up his operation into something more sustainable or the local couple looking for a site to build a house. There are always going to be pluses and minuses with anything. My wife is from the western US and it would be my dream to buy some land out there some day and do a bit of small scale, part time ranching while being within easy reach of spectacular mountains and scenery. Unfortunately, land and housing prices have been driven through the roof in the past few years as more and more wealthy people are moving in to those areas and the chances of us being able to do that are not high.

Fair play for the detailed response, my brother & brothers in law still do a bit on the side, 20 to 80 acres, but as you say work in reasonable flexible jobs. Personally I think its headspace & quality time away from wives & kids that drives them!
Still I dont like the coercive/ control of the EU in these issues, nor the funds taking them over.
Your wife must be from Wyoming or Montana, got to say I have been to numerous states in the US but not these. Hopefully some day, looks beautiful, particularly in Autumn. Pretty pricey all the same.

https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/01/28/unionism-has-painted-itself-into-a-corner-and-no-longer-has-friends-in-high-places-to-bail-it-out The mantra "it's the protocol or powersharing ... you can't have both" has become part of their campaigning currency lately. But it is the same section of unionism and loyalism that has resolutely opposed the Belfast Agreement since 1998.
It is content to use the protocol as a way of bringing down the institutions established in 1988. Even the most benign deal will be dismissed by this lobby: a lobby that has huge influence across unionism right now.
But collapsing the Assembly brings considerable consequences: no significant unionist political or legislative presence at a local level; the UK-EU deal implemented anyway; a form of direct rule that will include input from the Irish Government; and what would be interpreted as a very clear signal that political unionism no longer prioritises devolution.

Can't do that.. the fact that they made so few keeps it running and running.. He was asked one time why they didn't make anymore and he said he was exhausted and they had taken it to its peak, or words similar

His often violent treatment of Manuel obviously wouldn't be stood for in any setting these days, but there was plenty of it that could still work given that so often Basil was the moron who was played off against fairly normal people.

She is plain and simply a thief, who should be put behind bars for a long time and all her assets confiscated by CAB to repay some of the stolen funds. However, wouldn't hold my breath that it will work out like that.
Totally mad alright. How's she think she'd get away with it. DJ is no saint either.
She's a well known wrong one apparently. Been getting away a long time now. Was in business with DJ at one stage but stole ALOT of money off him so parted ways - that was the word on the street around Kilkenny few years back anyway.

Sybil is listed as 34 years old as seen on her medical chart in the 1975 episode "The Germans", presumably indicating she was born in 1941. Scales was 43 years old when Fawlty Towers began production.

The first one over the US was a Chinese balloon, I think they identified the one over South America as a Chinese balloon, the third one over Alaska wasn't confirmed publicly but is likely to have been a prototype of Sam Smiths trousers.

Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family has announced.
Relatives of the 67-year-old Hollywood actor previously said that he would be "stepping away" from his successful career after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition affecting his cognitive abilities.

In a post shared on Instagram on Thursday, Willis's daughter Rumer offered an update on her father's health, confirming his condition has "progressed" and he had been given the "more specific" diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.

Relatives of the 67-year-old Hollywood actor previously said that he would be "stepping away" from his successful career after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition affecting his cognitive abilities.

In a post shared on Instagram on Thursday, Willis's daughter Rumer offered an update on her father's health, confirming his condition has "progressed" and he had been given the "more specific" diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
Bruce Willis and his ex wife would be grade A celebrities in the US and being a celebrity is like being a child. Dementia blows the whole thing out of the water.

DJ Carey owed AIB 9.5 million and only paid back 60,000 in settlement. That money came out of yours and my pockets if you live in the republic as AIB is state owned.

He was brought in To search the specific area he was told the lady had possibly entered the water. He was later quoted as saying if he was aware of the vulnerabilities, he would have covered more of the river.

Was she found a mile from the area?

Would the vulnerability mean she'd have swam out? It's surprising on a trail like that with plenty joggers dog walkers she wasn't seen entering or swimming along

Really hard to tell. They actively look forward to jail as it gives them martyrdom. They won't pay fines. The kids have no assets to take. Ideally the media ignore them and they will stop but where is the fun in that?

WWE is in talks with state gambling regulators in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on high-profile matches, according to people familiar with the matter.

WWE is working with the accounting firm EY to secure scripted match results in hopes it will convince regulators there's no chance of results leaking to the public, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Accounting firms PwC and EY, also known as Ernst & Young, have historically worked with award shows, including the Academy Awards and the Emmys, to keep results a secret....

QuoteMurphy says if Juniper decides at the age of three that they are a boy "then we'll say he and we'll just say, 'oh yeah cool, you're a boy, excellent. And you're free to change your opinion and you're free to change your gender identity in the future if you want. We'll respect that and we'll change the pronouns that we use. If you say you're a boy, then great you're a boy. Or if you say you're a girl, then great you're a girl.' But we don't want to make that choice for Juniper. That's for Juniper to discover their own gender identity as opposed to us to assume based on their sex."

Because people are animals & they round on anyone who deviates from the normal.
The father in this case is a far left idiot or libtard. By inflicting his beliefs on his young fella, he is isolating him from the crowd, which will invariably/ unfortunately lead to bullying.

There's so much in this but I do admire your honesty in why bullying would be an issue and it's not so much the kid themselves, it's the societal "norms" that we live in which we are almost accepting of the herd mentality and can't override our base instincts!

Personally speaking I think the father is a bit of an attention seeker, but that's nothing to do with his child and they shouldn't suffer accordingly.

I don't know on this one.

He is an attention seeker, but I guess from his perspective, he's trying to help normalize a marginalized issue and group and feels comfortable doing that.

I'd seriously question the name though. Juniper is almost universally a girl's name. Why stick his kid with that burden when the odds are kid will not have gender identity issues?

Like it or not, as Rudi has pointed out, the kid IS going to have to live in the real world and this fight should not be thrust upon them unasked for, especially at a young age.

There's no reason you can't bring the kid up normally and guide them to be open to whatever or wherever life leads them. But I guess he'd say that's what he's doing by avoiding the traditional pigeonholes. Unfortunately, society pigeonholes everyone, and for many (including here), when it comes to gender there are only male/female/freaky pervert categories.

In December 2005, Lisa Marie Presley attended a celebrity wedding in County Tipperary, and while there made a detour to place flowers on Frank Patterson's grave as a tribute from the Presley family, impressed by Patterson's interpretations of songs later performed by Elvis.

The cocaine use  is frightening to be  honest

It's  reckon ed that cocaine use is  in every  town, village and gaa club  in the country.  When you think about it ,  surely the odds are that  those using it are  all around us.... one of our family members, next door neighbour,; some of our local gaa players , a local teacher  teaching our kids,  the nurse taking  looking after  your elderly relative or doing  your blood test,  taxi driver,  shop assistant,  etc. Mad when you think about it

School kids are huge users.
Was at a coaching course last year and the conversation came up about retaining kids at sport. The coach (who happens to be a teacher too) said that 20 years ago drink was a real problem with teenagers and was one of main reasons kids stopped sports or doing well in school. She said not any more, that drugs were now the issue. They are easier to get than alcohol and cost less, so rather than go out and get pished in the local pub/club, they're staying home and taking coke in the bedroom.
It's frightening.

Absolutely rife everywhere and has been for a while.. Price wise though tbrick, £50 for a bag of floor sweepings and £90 / £100 for a bag of 'pure' according to a couple of partakers in work... Not cheap! And then a night out drinking on top of that.

It unbelievable but true.  Niece is 6th former in grammar school in Armagh area and a few out of her class had to leave recently as they were completely out of it at all times, they have been on the Coke from about 14/15.  All come from the country where i live myself and you could get a bag of Coke quicker than a pint of milk.  It is rife.  But when the local drug dealers (whom are widely known) are let run every shop, bar, chip shop and are untouchable is it any wonder.  Feel sorry for the young ones growing up now.... too much temptation and distractions ....... tough times for them!   :(

Police up here tend to claim that Coke sold in NI is around 7% pure with a high of about 15-20% which they claimed was the usual for England.  Last expert I used said that's bullshit and anything less than 20% pure would be considered shite over here with about 35% being the norm.  They reckoned about 80% pure was the norm in England

What they do is say the average purity is 7% and would cost x. This is much higher purity eg 40% which is evidence of intent to cut and try to increase value.

I know it should be truthful and just call itself talkfootball. That would be fine considering all the pundits with any history in sport are footballers. This week however it has been non-stop about the boxing fight between has been AJ and some nobody. This really annoys me considering the 6 nation's has just finished and virtually got no coverage over the 7-8 weeks it was on. It's the same with everything else. A golf major would be lucky to get a mention in their news on the following Monday morning yet they are pissing their pants about this non-event boxing fight. Brazil and McCoist are usually great but have been as guilty as the rest of them this week ffs.

You have to question the integrity of the entire judicial system when it comes to sentencing people convicted of sex crimes, especially those against children.

You really don't unless you have no understanding of the entire judicial system. Judges are bound by Parliament who set maximum sentences and modes of trial. They are further guided by sentencing guidelines made by committees in part appointed by parliament. If Parliament hadn't intended sentences like these for cases like these they would have amended either the legislation or the guidance. They haven't therefore until they do if you have a criticism of the the sentences which you very well may have then the criticism should be levelled at parliament and the electorate. Not the judicial system. The guidelines on cases like this are no jail

Some of these cúnts just aren't cut out for doing the door. they always seem to take their anger out on some wee teenager that's built like an empty wetsuit, and catch them off guard. Mind a few years back some other yella cúnt done something similar outside the Hatfield, some bystander got blindsided. Thankfully a carload from Carrickmore was later dispatched for a visit

Yeah he wasn't s danger to anyone. If someone needs put out of a place then fair enough but do it safely using the least force possible. You just know that same fella is the sort of p***k who would run a mile if he was 1 v 1 with someone his own size.

This is disgusting, it looks like he was thrown down stairs and there are a lot of Doormen/Staff there to escort 1 small young fella out.....a lot more than 1 culpable.  Someone asking why young fella who is drunk questions Big Bouncers ?  Possibly because even if you are just messing about having a laugh in Night Clubs these Doormen have to be seen to be big bullies - even if you have done something and are questioning it, throwing someone downstairs and headbutting them is no way to treat anyone.   Witnessed it myself on many's an occasion in well known Banbridge nightclub where they would only pick on wee fellas and take them into corner, well away from Camera's to beat them up and throw them outside. But thankfully now, someone will always have pictures of all actions available for everyone to see their Bullying actions!

I remember in the bot one night I was going in and some boy spat in the bouncer's face. They threw him in the corner and hit him an almighty boot up the arse. Quite restrained for a bouncer tbh. There are a few out there who can be nasty enough. There was a very bad incident in the fly and I remember a few stories from home back in the day too.

This boyo here is caught hook line and sinker. I doubt he will be on the door this weekend.

Unfortunately this is a lot more common than people think, Jemar Hall gets a serious hard time from Armagh fans and there are racial undertones to it. He might not be the greatest county player out there but he is judged differently that other Armagh players.
You might not hear it in the grounds as the hard men haven't the balls to say it there but I have heard it plenty in the pubs of South Armagh.

Just throwing something out here.

I was a poor footballer, so nobody was going to gain an advantage with mind games etc on me; I was already beaten. But I did play for a long time.

During that time I was called:

A fat ****
A useless ****
A stupid ****
A retard
A spastic
A Ballyholland ****
A Newry ****
A Down ****
A wobbly headed ****

And so on.

And some by teammates

In the cold light of day any of those is a pretty shocking thing to hear. But never once did it make me stop and think, when playing.

People call each c***ts when playing sport.

—-

I'm not defending racism. Never will.

But is it possible at all to have reasonable discussion that players (and fans) just mumble and shout without thinking... and that it's not racially motivated so much as noise?

I'm sure I've posted roughly this line before, but what essentially is the difference between calling someone a ginger **** and calling someone a Chinese ****?

I'd argue nothing... on most occasions.

Parents probably putting them up to it. On Twitter and elsewhere you get the shithead apologist about poverty and lack of opportunities. At this moment in time if you walk into any Restaurant, Pub, Shop, building site and ask for a job you'll get one. Jobs that require minimal skill other than getting up in the morning. These people are the product of generational wasters. Their parents were dole merchants and they'll be the same. Absolutely no excuse for what was going on. It was recreational rioting and nothing more.

Absolutely spot on, agree 100%.  I was in Derry a few months ago and could not believe the amount of social (free) housing being built all round the city and not a bad car parked outside any of those complete.  Where is the incentive to get off your backside and get skills / education if you will get a house handed to you.  Sounds a bit harsh but I heard someone saying one time the ability to work was the one disease the Derry City man never got......possibly applies to a good few of the age 18+ muckers who were out rioting the other night.

GAA crowds are as bad as any sport. Arguably worse. Cavan ones were singing "I'd rather be a P*** than Westmeath" at last years Tailteann Cup final.

GAA crowds are merely reflective of society as a whole but it's very disappointing to think that anybody who was brought up through a GAA club and who was potentially educated at school alongside other ethnic minorities would engage in racist singing. In my experience the older generations are more ignorant and less tolerant of ethnic minorities than younger people for that very reason.

Kidding yourself that it's to do with groups or amount of drink taken. There's plenty of racism and bigotry throughout Irish society. The Wylies were abused as prods for years. Aaron Cunningham for plenty of it.

As much as we all love and romanticise the GAA, in and of itself and it's members, it's no different to the rest of society. It's not some magical protection against all the ills of the day.

Ultimately, that means nothing. What % of people who attend matches (in whatever code) hear abuse? What are the odds of the average punter going to a match around the country and hearing something? Nobody is suggesting a majority of Irish people or GAA members are racist. One incident is one too many.

As much as we all love and romanticise the GAA, in and of itself and it's members, it's no different to the rest of society. It's not some magical protection against all the ills of the day.

I'm taking about groups of people singing songs etc. Look at the previous messages.

Racism etc. has no place in the gaa - club or county or anywhere in society for that matter.

I've been to many many matches are never heard anything untoward.

That said, if I did hear any racial slurs then I would be giving the culprit an earful.

I once heard a Dublin supporter shout at Seán Óg Ó hAilpín to go back to Africa, he moderated his tone when I threatened to kick him up and down the steps of Croke Park.

Our political system along with its civil servants pandering to EU on all of this is unfortunate to see.

Saw that.

He was already on bail and had broken the terms of that bail a few times already, yet the judge allows him to continue on bail yet again.. He must be a tout, but that's wild, in possession of an assault weapon and all.

I can do it if you like.

There is a presumption of innocence in all cases. Incumbent in that is a presumption in favour of bail. Therefore in order to have bail denied the court must be satisfied that one of the four statutory objections to bail is made out.

1. Risk of re-offending this is supposed to be there is a risk the defendant will reoffend linked to the original offence but has now become so watered down that effectively all the prosecution have to persuade a judge or is that the defendant will reoffend whilst on bail.

2. Risk of flight. The prosecution are able to prove there's a real risk that if released the defendant won't show up for court.

3. Risk of interference with witnesses/justice. This is the risk that the defendant if released will interfere with witnesses or the case as a whole by for example destroying evidence.

4. Release on bail represents a real risk of undermining public confidence in justice or will pose a risk to the safety of the defendant himself.

If and only one or more of these objections are made out should bail be refused and even then only if bail conditions couldn't adequately manage the risk.

You will note that factors such as for example seriousness of the charge or record of the defendant are not grounds to refuse bail they are significant factors in assessing those statutory objections. For example someone up for murder may be more likely to leave the country or not turn up for trial due to the potential sentence.

Likewise strength of the prosecution case is not a reason to refuse bail but a strong prosecution case may be relevant to for example the likelihood the defendant will try to interfere with witnesses.

It therefore stands to reason that weakness of a prosecution case can be a factor that makes bail more likely. That seems to be what's happened in this case.  The case against this accused is clearly weak given the nature of the judges remarks.

So I imagine that's the major factor in the defendant getting bail.

It should be noted that we are probably too conservative with the grant of bail. Despite there being no legal basis for it a lack of an address is probably the biggest reason for bail refusal at the minute. Moreover unlike England we don't have strict custody timelimits. Also in England 12 hour curfews result in that time coming off your final sentences. It doesn't impact sentences at all over here.

Hope that answers the query.

Can someone explain how this **** Verner got bail!?!

Maybe some of the west brits from down south can explain it as they seem to know everything?

I can do it if you like.

There is a presumption of innocence in all cases. Incumbent in that is a presumption in favour of bail. Therefore in order to have bail denied the court must be satisfied that one of the four statutory objections to bail is made out.

1. Risk of re-offending this is supposed to be there is a risk the defendant will reoffend linked to the original offence but has now become so watered down that effectively all the prosecution have to persuade a judge or is that the defendant will reoffend whilst on bail.

2. Risk of flight. The prosecution are able to prove there's a real risk that if released the defendant won't show up for court.

3. Risk of interference with witnesses/justice. This is the risk that the defendant if released will interfere with witnesses or the case as a whole by for example destroying evidence.

4. Release on bail represents a real risk of undermining public confidence in justice or will pose a risk to the safety of the defendant himself.

If and only one or more of these objections are made out should bail be refused and even then only if bail conditions couldn't adequately manage the risk.

You will note that factors such as for example seriousness of the charge or record of the defendant are not grounds to refuse bail they are significant factors in assessing those statutory objections. For example someone up for murder may be more likely to leave the country or not turn up for trial due to the potential sentence.

Likewise strength of the prosecution case is not a reason to refuse bail but a strong prosecution case may be relevant to for example the likelihood the defendant will try to interfere with witnesses.

It therefore stands to reason that weakness of a prosecution case can be a factor that makes bail more likely. That seems to be what's happened in this case.  The case against this accused is clearly weak given the nature of the judges remarks.

So I imagine that's the major factor in the defendant getting bail.

It should be noted that we are probably too conservative with the grant of bail. Despite there being no legal basis for it a lack of an address is probably the biggest reason for bail refusal at the minute. Moreover unlike England we don't have strict custody timelimits.

Obviously no expert but the judge said the case was just about chargeable, so it's not a huge leap that bail would be granted

A violent, repeat offender; currently already on bail (which he has broken already) for other offences. Surely the grounds are there to fulfil one or more of the criteria?

I've no idea. I've done enough cases to know that reports don't always pick up the subtle nuances of court procedures.

Generally speaking bail is considerably more likely in cases where the prosecution evidence is weak. A challenge to a connection is rare unless the evidence is particularly weak (and it's almost never successful even then)

They're looking for the next Jimmy Saville scoop, Schofields actions were a bit "groomy" with that young lad all the same.

Older man fancies younger person... Its been happening for years.. If you were lets say 53 ;) and a fit young attractive person in their 20's felt the same should you entertain that (providing you were not married) or just stay with ones your age?

Not talking about Scofield here btw, he had some interactions possibly when he was young but I think its a exaggeration to an extent, but basically he lied to himself, wife his kids and his employers. In the media you have to be squeaky clean

Smart move in the long run. You will not convince me that there aren't preparations for an inevitable united ireland behind closed doors in Dublin.

I have read a few articles that a lot of Russian Prisoners were given the option of fighting in the war and then would be freed.
If I remember correctly they were then given less than a weeks training and sent straight to the front lines.
Needless to say, they didn,t survive long and the word filtered back to the prisons and the volunteering abruptly ended.

RTE use the same studio for The Sunday Game and International Soccer but they change the background,

For GAA the background is Irish countryside, but specifically hurling countryside with big fields and loads of trees.
https://twitter.com/TheSundayGame/status/1670195891674976256
The difference between hurling and football countryside is rushes. They should have a Cavan or East Galway or North Kerry  background for football.

The Oirish Soccer background is red and blue and urban. Who are the consultants ? How do they decide ?

Grown men  collecting for a  bonfire  ::)  We used to  go around the doors   coming up to Halloween , and people gave us old  furniture  and stuff to burn.  But we stopped doing  that about  13 because we wised up.

Tbh things with flags don't annoy me any more bar one. The paratroopers flag annoys me as it's hugely antagonistic towards people who've had family innocently killed. The union jack and this stuff I couldn't care less about.

Looks like murdered first, then the body possibly thrown off. The woman spilled the beans after hospital treatment, following a car accident on the way back from SL. Mad stuff altogether.

Tourists from cruise ships!

Times have changed! I haven't been down there in probably 15 years (don't get back to Ireland very often, although we'll be there this summer). I'm told you can't drive up to the main viewing area anymore; you have to park and either walk or get a shuttle. Food trucks too apparently. I remember when you could drive all the way up and there wouldn't be a soul about. Good that they've finally seen the light on selling it because it is a stunning, awe-inspiring location. I used to bring college friends down there when they'd be visiting 20 years ago, and most of them had never heard of it. And these were Irish people.

Dont want to say too much, its pretty grim. The reason for release, was due to expired time of detention. Will likely be rearrested & charged. Drink drugs & unsolicited advances & thinking rationally are not a good combination.

About 15 years since I was there too & the first time was about 20 years ago. Nice enough spot, I don't think it comes as close to the Cliffs of Moher in terms of awe struck. Nice all the same, only about 3 or 4 on the trail when I was last there. By all accounts its a must destination for tourists from cruise ships.

Times have changed! I haven't been down there in probably 15 years (don't get back to Ireland very often, although we'll be there this summer). I'm told you can't drive up to the main viewing area anymore; you have to park and either walk or get a shuttle. Food trucks too apparently. I remember when you could drive all the way up and there wouldn't be a soul about. Good that they've finally seen the light on selling it because it is a stunning, awe-inspiring location. I used to bring college friends down there when they'd be visiting 20 years ago, and most of them had never heard of it. And these were Irish people.

About 15 years since I was there too & the first time was about 20 years ago. Nice enough spot, I don't think it comes as close to the Cliffs of Moher in terms of awe struck. Nice all the same, only about 3 or 4 on the trail when I was last there. By all accounts its a must destination for tourists from cruise ships.

I actually thought  Sliabh League was  more impressive than the   cliffs of Moher.  But neither  come close to Dun Aonghas  on Inishmore .  Now they were breathtaking!

Looks like murdered first, then the body possibly thrown off. The woman spilled the beans after hospital treatment, following a car accident on the way back from SL. Mad stuff altogether.

Sliabh Liag cliffs are much higher than the cliffs of  Moher. But the Cailleach lives above the Cliffs of Moher.

There was similar happening in Armagh a few weeks ago. A wee piece of shit who comes from a family of vermin, and a few cronies, were intimidating young lads waiting on buses after school when the senior school were off for exams. He punched and broke the nose of one fella outside. This went on daily but the fellas, many of whom could fill this lad in without breaking sweat, were told not to touch him due to his family connections. He obviously fed off that power as he's too young to get clattered by anyone over 18.

This kind of thing happens very often. Clearly the mother is very unhappy & in no current state to take care of her child. Loads of neglected kids up & down the country. Some single parents are struggling, fall off the wagon & turn to drink & sometimes drugs. Its all around us. Some of those kids turn out the best, some kids with great supportive parents turn out bad. Thats the cycle of life.

Dont want to say too much, its pretty grim. The reason for release, was due to expired time of detention. Will likely be rearrested & charged. Drink drugs & unsolicited advances & thinking rationally are not a good combination.

The daughter of Capt Sir Tom Moore has been told to knock down an unauthorised building used as a spa after a planning application was rejected.

Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband used the Captain Tom Foundation name on the first plans for the building, with later revised plans turned down.

The charity is also no longer taking donations or making payments due to an ongoing inquiry into its finances.

A lot of sexual offences are not proved beyond reasonable doubt, but people are convicted anyhow. There are no witnesses and it is one person's word against the other. There is legitimate concern about women not being believed, but sending some to jail for a long period should require evidence and there often isn't.

Mad that ten years ago you wouldn't bat an eyelid at 2k cash. Now its rare to see anyone with more than 100 or so, everything is contactless.

If he's 15 with that cash on him my first guess would be it came from selling certain substances!

What is wrong with people.
I honestly think there psychological issues when people do this.
Even these young dolls now getting lip fillers and botox, them only in their 20s.
WTF.
World is couped.

The amount of people who have perfect teeth now is frightening also.

Or as I like to call them, Turkey teeth.

Chatting to a lady today, she got some Turkey teeth but didn't go extra shine lol, good job.. 4 grand, her mate did top and bottom for 6 grand, both very happy.. the same procedure here is 24 grand (if you're lucky)

The video was taken by somebody looking down onto a street from a flat or whatever.  Just shows a group of lads running along and then a couple appear to kick/throw a couple of punches...it's not very clear and poor quality.

The fella they chased stole one of their wallets and pulled a Hammer on them. Probably explains why the guards went straight for him when they came, provably well known to them.

They basically sat on the gurrier until the Guards came along and hauled him off, no doubt not for the first and sadly not the last time. Probably not the sharpest gurrier, it is easy to attack an older American tourist in a gang than have a go at 3 fit fellows who can run faster than you.

some sort of mass brawl in dungannon

Sickening video. Dungannon is a kip.

Sickening video is right.
Dungannon is no more of a kip than any other large town though.

Na it is. It's far worse than Armagh, Cookstown, Omagh, Monaghan all similar sizes.

There's been a few one punch deaths in Cookstown over the last 20 years.

True

Here none of these lads actual box, pushing, slipping, 1 lad falls to the ground and then a few deliberately kick the lad in head , most trampiest acts u ever see. Their should be serious jaiil time for this type of attack, row or not. Kicking in the head should be treated as severe GBH

Ah sure some clampit will be wheeled out to say they are good lads, good GAA men, look after juvenile teams doing great work in the community blah blah!

Kicking someone when they are down, then kicking or stamping someone's head is literally trying to kill them, like why else would you be doing that? There're down, it's done

Where are you going with this? What has it got to do with the Gaa. I'm from the town and was physically sick watching that video. I don't recognise anyone in the video so not sure if they are local.

He was from Tyrone anyway.

Yes the outrage of a councillor asking if the council might replace broken council supplied/branded umbrellas. Quite the story eh? The people are surely on the verge of widespread civil unrest surely?  I know its all anybody I've met wants to talk about anyway ::)

It was and the PSNI are historically poor and slow to respond to them with heavily redacted responses so it's all the more staggering that a FOI request for the number of officers in each rank ended up with a whole database with names, addresses, branches they work in being released.
There's no way the dedicated FOI team would have access to that database and neither should an ordinary admin in HR to download the bloody thing and then upload it onto their website.

Human error is human error but this is going to be devastating for the PSNI and Simon Byrne I'd say. He's on his Jollies and not coming off it and the optics of that will not be lost. The cost of this will run into millions. With over 10000 names on it the claims to the IOC could reach in excess of £20m. That doesn't even account for any ancillary claims for family members and the inevitable flood of them. Will the Agnew holiday claim case decision imminent in the Supreme Court the pressure is going to seriously ramp up. The next few months could effectively bankrupt the police!

100%

It will used as an excuse to get off on the sick or to get an early pay off in lots of cases. It won't matter to that 70%

It is the other percentage of Catholics/ Nationalists in there that it will be an issue for.

I would imagine in the civilian elements of the service the percentage would a lot closer to 50 50 so there will be a lot of concerned people in this category, who for appearances sake work for the 'civil service'.

I would say there is a serious IT search ongoing for all those who accessed the data and trail of where it went from there.

Parents of kids with disabilities are also in a constant fight for services that the childs needs.

A biological male wants to wear a dress and be called Jane  instead of James or wants to play on a women's sports team or compete against women in swimming, athletics etc and we are all all supposed to bend over backwards to accommodate them and not voice our opinions on them Incase we offend them.

If Helen McEntee's hate speech bill gets through I guess you will see more of these types of videos emerge in the south. Always seems to be loads of cops to arrest easy targets but never to tackle feral teenage gangs roaming the streets.

The hate speech that has been in place since 1989?

It's a new bill that replaces the 1989 one but you already know that.

Amends.

But the point remains.  What has 'hate speech' got to do with the incident in Leeds? We have had 34 years of hate speech and the world hasn't stopped.

You'd imagine they'd be able to argue easily enough that they shouldn't be charged unauthorised overdraft fees, but they'll not be getting free money, that's for sure. I'm a bit shocked in this day and age that people actually think they'll get away with it.

It is out and out theft. It is not simply a ATM allowing people to withdraw more than they have. These people have to transfer money they don't have to a non BOI account before being able to withdraw it.

It is not as if machines are not recording withdrawals. These morons are having to log on to their online BOI account and perform a transfer. In what world do they think they won't be traced.

Quick Google shows Bank of Ireland charge 13.25% interest on overdrafts. Looking at a few hundred euro interest a year including their annual arrangement fee.

Which is about 12% more than they offer depositors.
In reality, people in this situation will be be excused this fee if they pay the money back in an orderly way.

Yes and they had to pay it back. Obv some people who don't care about their credit score probably didn't. These people complain how things aren't fair yet only take from society and give nothing back. BOI and others should debank them. (unbank? whatever the term is).

Know of a family all on benefits that cleaned out the local atm and they got away with it.
when the bank came knocking they said that they had spent all the cash and had no way of paying it back.
the bank didn't pursue it as they probably thought it would be like trying to get blood out of a stone
but in a case such as that those people should be made to pay the money back through their benefit payments imo.

They'd wreck their credit score and they'd pass it to a debt collection agency who hound them. Whether they'd get anything out of it, I don't know but they definitely wouldn't let it go.

Someone with a bit of sense would have immediately paid off any overdue credit card bill even if put their current account in overdraft. Then ring the bank today and say that this error put you in overdraft and you'll be happy to pay off at €10 a week but you'd not be paying interest for their mistake.

Someone with a bit of sense would have immediately paid off any overdue credit card bill even if put their current account in overdraft. Then ring the bank today and say that this error put you in overdraft and you'll be happy to pay off at €10 a week but you'd not be paying interest for their mistake.

You went wrong at "someone with a bit of sense". Unlikely many of those queuing at an ATM had much between the ears otherwise and just saw it as "free" money and everyone else was doing it.

I know, someone with a bit of sense wouldn't have an outstanding credit card bill anyhow.
It reminds of the good old days when a payphone would malfunction from time to time.

Depends where you are. Here in NYC, flash flood watches and even warnings are happening every month now, whereas before a couple of years ago, it was rare. I'm in my house ten years. Never had water come in until the Ida storm in 2021 when we got flooded. Had a close call a few months back. Now I've got the sandbags out as a default given the frequency with which these "freak" deluges are happening. Last month, Highland Falls, where West Point is located up the Hudson River, got seven inches of rain in a couple of hours. It's sheer luck if you're in the narrow path or not.

A number of the large private home insurance companies have pulled their business out of Florida given the increasingly severe hurricanes passing through the state. A lot of people in Florida can only get insured through their public insurance entity, Citizens Insurance.

This shit is real.

I'm in the business, down south so i cant speak for the north but increases in the republic are also substantial this year. main driver is increase in cost of building materials and rebuilding cost increases which sound like the same thing  but aren't,  but both contribute to the increase in premiums.
id say the average increase in the south is in the region of 30%.
are insurance companies robbing bastards? in some ways yes, but their main fault is that that they are by and large run by a combination of  grossly incompetent fools and spivs.

I'm grand I can afford the hike lol!

I speak with plenty of people everyday and when I ask them do they have house insurance a good lot say no! Be surprising how many haven't got insurance. What's the ratio of houses burning down top how many houses in the north? be very rare, the main issue people have would be water damage from a leak or if you live in an area that has rivers nearby.

Calling their bluff and see who wants the business.. Someone on the other week discussing it from the federation of insurers and he said shop around and don't settle for the first quote

20 years of house insurance now and only ever used it for 2 broken windows which would have been affordable anyway without the insurance. But you just know as soon as it would be cancelled there would be a leak somewhere.

Same as this. Can't over estimate how important it is to get your own loss adjuster in to deal with the insurance claim. More than worth the commission!!

I'd that one time, we were looking to change the ensuite anyways at some point, but noticed water on the roof of the back room, phoned Tesco, I think we were with at the time and they sent a fella out to look at it, no marine wall was put in either shower unit from the ensuite and bathroom. chatting to me he said I know you! Now this can go either way lol, but he said you're from the road! In my head I'm going which road, but says nowt.

Comes back few days later with a team of lads who said that they'll have to completely rip everything out and replace it as those tiles are outta stock and that they damaged the shower unit when trying to take it out, they hadn't even started it, tiled the floor and new shower units and wall to floor tiling.

I don't even think at the time the insurance went up by much the following year. For me that was the builders that were taking the complete piss and making a decent wage out of it rather than me who had never before or since claimed anything

How do you qualify to become a loss adjustor?

Always heard that they are well worthwhile - take a good cut but are very detailed in their work.

Less stress for the owner after something has happened insurance wise.

Alot of Loss Assessors tend to start off in Insurance companies or Loss Adjusting firms and then go out on their own.  They can serve a purpose to a degree but there's plenty of them who are pure con men all the same...but sure if it gets you your claim paid then I imagine people wouldn't care less

They are handy but I think you could probably take a decent go at it yourself

I thought that. The thing is you don't know what you don't know. Ours was great. I'd say we got 3 times what we would have got if we went direct. He put in for everything and knew what to quote on things to ensure you got enough but didn't p!ss off the insurer. Money well spent.

Did they take a percentage of any cash settlement fee or did you pay them separately?

10% of contents payout so it was in his interest to get you as much as possible

2 men in their 40s and 60s have died in an ironman triathalon in Youghal in Cork. Questions have been raised about whether the swim should have gone ahead in tough conditions.

I would question why someone in their sixties would take part in such an event. It is an ironman event and you are in your 60s. Just take it that you are not an ironman at that age and enjoy the retirement.

I've mates in their late 50's have done over ten full Ironman

This was a half and the first part, I've seen conditions worse and the swim was reduced, in one occasion it was cancelled and became just cycling and run, the first wave on that video looks bad but would need to see more of it.

Wife's friends husband did it with one leg today, their video showed water to be not too bad, but you'd be questioning it before starting

My only concern would be did they have enough boats/canoes, in lots of these races they've the strong ones go first and lesser ones in different batch

2 deaths is unusual. The authorities need to investigate what happened and tighten up risk management.  Any death during a public event is potentially the end of the event.

Yeah, was thinking that myself.

One death bad enough but two.

Every race now will have to tighten up their risk management and have more boats in the water obviously.

Very sad indeed.

Not sure of the circumstances, two separate incidents, someone had mentioned a medical issue, not sure if it was related to the swimming, had a heart attack or whatever, drowning would be very rare, if you are attempting something at this level you are very competent swimmer

It seems the swim course was halved due to poor conditions from Storm Betty but competitors said when the got into open water it wasn't too bad. If due to medical conditions then just bad luck.

Daughters ex did it and going by his posts the water was only choppy at the start.

But what you have said, seems like normal, they do that with regards to weather conditions, once its at a certain wind speed, or if the water temperature drops its either reduced or cancelled.

As this is a Ironman official competition, they have the strictest guidelines to adhere to, this isn't some "lets organise a race to earn a few bob" and do away with things to make profit, Ironman is a huge brand, shouldn't be cutting corners and if they are they'll be

Its probably more common than we think, people have got away with this and due to many things like a cover up or unable to trace it back to someone.

We only hear about it when they are caught, must be horrible for those involved and those that were not given closure due to lack of evidence

All participants would have to either have the day license or yearly license with Triathlon Ireland to do any triathlons. I'm surprised then that they allowed it to happen.

This will certainly have changed things should either death have been because of the swim.

I hate that instagram, social media sh*te...and parents are as bad as if not worse than some of the kids.
My wee lad got some of his modules today, he's just out of 4th year - he did just ok but he's had a bad year so we were happy enough that he passed. Kids opening results at the school with parents there videoing and asking everyone else what they got are usually the ones who know they are getting A's. One wee girl started crying as instead of getting straight A's she had a B in the middle.
I felt like saying shut the f*ck up.
No sensitivity at all to the kids who struggle or don't get straight A's. My lad took his home to open and there'll be not publicising results. I told him to tell anyone he asked that he got all A's and B's because generally the people who ask are the ones who did really well and just want to show off.

Really annoys me that crap.

Aye, the Christmas stuff bothers me a lot.  I know a girl who gives her children a serious quantity of presents (that doesn't negate the quality btw) and puts the videos up for all to see.  The message it must teach her kids, that more is better, bigger is better.

The same girl recently put a post on facebook about giving away her baby furniture to a 'needy family' as she was done having more.  The gesture itself was great, it was a lot of good stuff, but she lives a half a mile down the road from a community center that are constantly asking for donations for families on facebook.  She no more needed to advertise it, other than to get the "oh my goodness that is brilliant" posts streaming through.

Don't think the second part is remotely true. People who ask how they got on tend to be friends or at least classmates. Not randoms walking up for a lead in to tell someone they barely know how they got on.

On GDPR grounds they should ban filming on school premises, they cannot control what goes on at home.

That whole thing sickens my hole. I have had 3 sets this summer, degree, A levels and GCSE's (4 if you count the 3 year olds Graduation!!!!). I put my eldest lad and the wee ones photo up as it's kinda mad I have that level of a gap but the other ones I said nowt and will say nowt. They wouldn't want me to either as they think it's cringe as f**k. They did well and I know they did and as far as I'm concerned that's all that counts. The ex wife.....now that's another story ;D

Tell us more bc1...it is page 666 after all!

Ex wife ....number of the beast....draw your own conclusions 😂

Twitter I use for news and sports consumption. Probably needless bit it's the instantaneous nature of it that hooks me in. Facebook is just an endless stream of dickheads posting banal updates of their very boring and run of the mill lives.

It's the "wine o'clock now the kids are in bed and hubby is away to the Chinese. And relax!!! Happy Friday everyone!" c***ts that did it for me. Having a drink on a Friday night? You're 40 years of age. Grow the f**k up you boring ****. Nobody cares.

Same. I don't really know why I look at it as there is very little content nowadays from "friends" and instead it's a mish mash of random advertised content which is getting worse. Mostly on Twitter and check Instagram every once in a while.

Can't believe people are defending the Spanish  sc**bag. The crotch grabbing showed the type of individual he is.

He was way too overfamiliar with every one of them. And the kiss on the lips was outrageous. It was the medal ceremony for them winning the World Cup, so of course the women were overjoyed, but it's clear from the subsequent reaction of the team that this was not the first time he has been inappropriate. Every single one of the squad have said they won't play for the international team as long as he retains his position with the Spanish FA. That speaks volumes.

That's the way it should be, as in it's sickening to constantly see murderers released. They should never be freed if they've intentionally killed.

That's the way it should be, as in it's sickening to constantly see murderers released. They should never be freed if they've intentionally killed.

I'm going to disagree here. Indefinite lock up particularly mandatory indefinite lock up serves no practical purpose. By all means have lengthy tariffs but indefinite lock ups have no deterrent effect, make prisons far harder to maintain are effectively cruel and unusual.

Intentional killing is such a wide area as well. It covers everything from horrendous murders to mercy killings and everything in between. I'm not sure if you meant intentional killing as opposed to murder but if you have then intentional killing would be very hard to prove. For murder you don't have to prove an intention to kill. For attempted murder strangely you do and it's one of the hardest crimes to prove that we have. So I don't agree that people should ever be locked up and the key thrown away.

I do accept that getting released from a life sentence should be very difficult and very onerous and it most certainly is however that's not often well reported.

Whole life tarrifs are also a bit misleading. They don't mean people won't get out again they just mean they don't have an automatic right to apply. The continued need for detention still has to be reviewed periodically by the Secretary of State.

I'm not worried about the welfare of dangerous prisoners, those who remain a danger shouldn't get out so I don't see what the relevance is. I don't even advocate releasing life sentence prisoners easily let alone automatically. My problem is refusing to release any because one may kill someone. Life licence isn't and shouldn't be guaranteed to any prisoner. Unaccompanied Temporary Release or Day release as you put it isn't even guaranteed to any prisoner. It's a very lengthy process it comes after considerable risk reduction work in prison, after multiple experts from a wide variety of disciplines look at your case after accompanied temporary release and after prisoners have demonstrated their risk is manageable. Mistakes will happen and people will abscond but the alternative is no better.

He wouldn't have ordinarily been released. Unless he was a terrorist prisoner he would have to satisfy the life sentence review commissioners or now Parole Commissioners that he met the test for release. Even then if he secured release he'd remain on life licence and subject to recall should his risk of serious harm become unmanageable. So I imagine he's either neither satisfied the Commissioners or he's previously been recalled.

Most life sentence prisoners spend considerably longer than their tariff in custody

Not sure if this was already posted up here already.   Ignacio Quereda was the Spanish Women's football coach for 27 years and after he stepped down Spain's female football players accused former national team of abuse and homophobia in a documentary, 'Breaking the Silence'.

When he was at it carry on in public viewing what was he at behind the scenes?

He normally took out the bricks and stayed them with old telephone poles then set a fire round them so that the stays would burn out and it would fall where he wanted it to.

He invented his own pulley system with two big buckets on a pulley/brake system where he's fill one at the top, let it drop with gravity doing it's thing and when the full one was dropping the empty one was flying back up the chimney..

Acheson seems to have had quite a few run ins with the police previously threatened to stab them with a chisel, as well as an episode of grand theft auto resulting in a 3 year driving disqualification. 

I was told that Acheson started an argument initially with Conor Brownes friend in relation to something from schooldays and was then asked to leave bar and went at that stage and got a knife and waited outside until the lads were leaving. 

Apparently little remorse being shown.

Fair play to this guy, very brave.

Thankfully I am a generation or two too old for snap chat etc but no doubt it is understandable how something like this is now unfortunately very common.

I been fairly easily going with foreigners, never had any issues, lived in a area with alot of polish over 15yrs.But the rise in harassments, especially of girls, ( Killarney recently) and the fact that the police record of none of these persons is forthcoming is worrying. I no issues persons looking for a better life, every hotel in Killarney would have well mannered hardworking foreign workforce. But there now seems to be a serious element of trouble arising, so there needs to be a review of what countries these trouble makers originate from, those attitude to Irish way of life especially harassing girls needs looked at.

It's not like they're working in the country they're in. Also they come here to seek asylum which they haven't got yet. If they get it approved legally then they will be able to work. If they don't then they're here illegally and won't be allowed to work.

The war is really complicated. It could continue for a long time. Everyone is dug on and the West has no interest in peace. Giving in to Putin is no solution either.
The people suffer and the refugees keep coming. Some of them will probably never go home.

The war is really complicated. It could continue for a long time. Everyone is dug on and the West has no interest in peace. Giving in to Putin is no solution either.
The people suffer and the refugees keep coming. Some of them will probably never go home.
;D
The west has no interest as Ukraine is the wests pawn is disrupting Russias place in the world.

I   never believed a word about  this Ukraine thing from  the start.  Those who like to start  wars,  need a bogey man.  It's  Putin's turn to be  that  bogeyman

As you say, Ukraine (and zelensky)  are just  pawns in a bigger game of chess .  That means it's the Ukrainian people  who are suffering  but   The warmongers  don't give two  fiddlers about that

So just let Putin do as he pleases  ;D

The rest  of the world have sat back  and allowed Israel to do what  they like to the Palestinians for decades. I don't see any calls  from nato Britain or the US  to  put a stop to that
Very true.

The republic sat back and did f**k all during the troubles as did the rest of the world

That is very true. Lynch probably thanked Paisley for throwing snowballs at him.

Yep.
But why? There is a huge Isreali lobby in the US that pushes lots of finance into elections.
The UK, probably the key player in causing all of the issues in Isreal/Palestine post WW2, wont do anything that might upset the American relations.
World is couped.

Ukraine are victims, Putin is evil and should be stopped, but the people of Russia are just people like us.
I don't know the answer on that one, but certainly Ukraine should be supported in pushing the russians out of their country.

Some of the attitudes on here, Be like the 30's when they let Germany get up ahead of steam. I think there was more people lost in a week, than 30yrs of the troubles. US estimates both have combined loses to match the allied total on western Europe theater in WW2, which was over 6yrs, they met that total in just 18 months.

shocking scenes outside the dail 


Protesters have brought mock gallows and photographs of high-profile politicians to a demonstration outside Leinster House ahead of the Dail's return.

The gallows, which feature an effigy of a man hanging from a noose, has been adorned with portraits of politicians including Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald.

Images of enterprise minister Simon Coveney, education minister Norma Foley and minister for children Roderic O'Gorman also accompany the display.

Vulnerable people are getting stirred up by this shit and being preyed upon. Then you are getting these protests with very angry people because they are being stirred up to be so.

I don't disagree on the protest stuff as you look at the UK government too and they're trying to shut any form of protest down but these ones here are led by buffoons who are being led by god knows who and are enticing people who are having hard times in their lives in.

The protests are completely ludicrous. This woman appears to be complaining that she isn't getting a house for free unless I'm missing something.

Genuinely have no idea what this woman wants. I suspect she is a vulnerable enough woman who is being triggered by others to tell her 'horror' story but there's actually nothing in it.

It's protest culture now. Protest everything and anything. Unfortunately both sides are at it and people then fall into 2 categories. They either ignore everything and stop getting involved/ caring enough about anything. Or they get involved in everything and every discussion has to fall into left/ right regardless of topic!!

There are things that merit protesting though- the state of the nhs up north and the lack of government are those kind of things. Things like this though are just people shit. Stirring.

It is ridiculous how everything is just broken into left right. The birth of the use of the term "woke" too fuels this as well. I don't like what you say so you are one of them.

All Wooton seems to do is demonise people and deflect being demonised himself and it is hard to know what the hell is going on with that boy Fox. The likes of the woman who used to be on tv too - Beverley Turner who was marrried to James Cracknell - is clean mad. Vax this, vax that, control this control that. A mad channel.

This is where the undue influence of lawyers leads to.

In an environment where anyone and everyone is open to legal action for the square root of fuk all - then the guards are afraid to do anything.

Proper order would be to baton charge the hoors and break at least one arm or leg on every one of them. Then not bother to provide hospital treatment. Let the c**ts learn to appreciate what actually happens if they were rejected by society.

Proper order would be to baton charge the hoors and break at least one arm or leg on every one of them. Then not bother to provide hospital treatment. Let the c**ts learn to appreciate what actually happens if they were rejected by society.
The riot police will get one shot at this tonight and they need to hit them really hard so they think twice next time. Running around on their stolen bikes.  Dirt.

I don't honestly think this is facism or extremism at play.

There's the bored youths pushing the boundaries. There's a pitchfork wielding mob that have neither the brains nor the interest to consider why they swing their pitchforks; it's just what they do. There's the vile, opportunistic scum making hay from the madness.

But the underlying current that has swollen and caused this, I genuinely believed, is fuelled by a housing crisis that has become a time bomb. The working classes and middle classes are getting financially obliterated in Dublin, as a direct cost of rent and housing. And that means it is not the right time for government to be taking in tens of thousands of refugees.

Refugees have a limited effect on the housing market. Immigration by well paid people in Intel or Google may well have more effect as these people can afford the rent. However, this group are paying their way and are paying for the scumbags who are looting Dublin tonight.

Whether refugees have a limited effect on the housing market is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that there's a rising tide of Irish people whose only opportunity to continue living where they're from, is to hand over the vast majority of their income to landlords (or, if they're lucky, to a bank). The government has taken almost no steps to prevent this happening.

But at the same time, the government is housing, feeding and paying people to come into the country, not to work.

As a policy it doesn't run along parallel lines with the housing crisis. But it does present any Irish person who is enduring financial struggles and concerns about their future, with a pretty rational reason to distrust their government, and the longer it continues, too begin hating their government. When a sizeable group of people of this mindset are found in the same area, plenty of them will be bored, plenty of them will be pitchfork wielders by nature and plenty of them will be vile scum. Meaning that peaceful protests will only go one way. It's a tinderbox just waiting for a spark. 

Pinning what has happened here on the far right, or on racism or extremism, well I think that's a cop out, and one that leans too heavily on the polarised culture of across the Atlantic. There's a closer-to-home problem running through Dublin today.

Many of the scum are living in housing provided by the taxpayer at a nominal rent and couldn't tell you what the real rent is. Perhaps the distrusters should wonder about them as well as refugees.

The thing that annoys me at about the housing is that within the so called 'working class' areas of places like Belfast / Dublin / Derry there is a sense of entitlement to a free house.  The rest of us had to get educated / get skilled in order to make our way in this world, nothing ever handed to us.  If you grow up getting your free house, your DLA and every benefit under the sun how are their offspring going to know any different in terms of how to get on in life. 

I guarantee you if you built 2 separate developments of housing and occupied one development with those from a supposed 'working class' area and the other development with those that cant get a mortgage but do not not qualify for social housing I guarantee which which one will look like a shit hole within 10 years.  Didn't have to work for it, didn't earn it therefore don't give a shit.

Instead of 'working class' areas the correct term should be 'work shy' areas.

These people can be both complete scumbags as well as be canaries in the coal mine.

Mass immigration (emphasis on the mass) when it lands on your door step doesn't appear to be all it's cracked up to be (unless you're a making money out of the scheme) but governments have told us we're not allowed to think that or indeed be allowed talk about the potentially very reasonable positions they might have on the topic.

Couldn't agree more.

A government worried about getting re-elected, an under-qualified and lazy mainstream media, and a needy conspiracy theory community have (largely unwittingly) joined forces to create and promote a fictional Irish far right movement of strength and influence, and use the political spectrum as their stock response for citizen unrest.

The Irish far right movement has as much influence on people as my puppy.

Do you think the majority of those out rioting tonight could tell you what the immigration rates are in Ire? Or what a sustainable level of immigration is? Or the impact if we cut of immigration on services within Ireland. Could they f**k. Whatever your views on the questions above, those out rioting last night were out for the buzz and a free pair of gutties. Let's not try to make out they were some morally triggered group trying to be heard. The f**king shape of them ffs.

Panorama last night about the missing children in Ukraine.
Seems to be a concerted effort by Russia at the highest level to "re-locate" children from Ukraine into Russia. Difficult to understand the motive behind that.

Also some of the propaganda on Russian media about the Ukrainian state selling children's organs into Europe was just bonkers.

Really heart-breaking stuff in general....albeit a completely 1 sided view of the story, however, it's difficult to see any justification for any of what was covered.

Philly McMahon has been deployed in the area tonight, the Gardaí can rest easy.

No need for those soccer fairies, the main man is on duty.

U lads no tear gas down there, what happened to the good old Garda who kicked the crap out of the English far right back in 1995 at the soccer yrs ago. Maybe a united Ireland not for you, you have a hard time dealing with the seasoned rioters up here. Bad sign you had to get a lend of a few water cannons from up North. Maybe a straight in, kick the f**k outta them be a bit more forward like the old days.

Did something broadly similar for our Juniors last year.
Quite easy to implement and monitor.
Although we couldn't field for a number of games, it definitely set a marker for how serious we were.
Leaving out the 'without management approval' next year, though.

This is pure shite! You need to set standards and create goals and what's the plans for the years, expectations and do on, no drinking? Wise up, no holidays unless sanctioned by management? More bollocks no playing other sports? Holy f**k!

I'm as passionate as the next manager and expect the players to put in the same effort as I'd expect them to do, but this is not a professional sport.

We need to trust the players

Some overpaid manager trying to justify his existence and cost. The problem with all these things is it usually one of your better player(s) who break the rules. It's never number 27 on the panel. He turns up and togs out every week. You wish he would disappear as he's constantly f**king up drills and dropping balls.

Some overpaid manager trying to justify his existence and cost. The problem with all these things is it usually one of your better player(s) who break the rules. It's never number 27 on the panel. He turns up and togs out every week. You wish he would disappear as he's constantly f**king up drills and dropping balls.
 

insane the way club GAA players are being expected to act as professional, in fact id argue worse than professional. look at Rugby and soccer, lads go for a drink after the game and its no issue sure weren't the Ireland Rugby team having pints during the World Cup. If you've a game on sat or sun, not 1 issue lads going for a few pints after then running it off in training the next week. Need to stop treating players like children.

What about sex - are they allowed to have sex? Maybe it only matters if it is:

1) on your own
2) with another first team member
3) with a squad member
4) with a squad member from the neighbouring parish
5) with a woman (over 40)
6) with a woman (under 40)
7) with a sheep
8 ) nun of the above
9) all the above

So a lad that makes a living in Dublin is seriously expected to travel down for training every week from January onwards? I assume they mean for a weekend session but still that's taking the piss.
No way you can expect a guy whose life is now elsewhere to travel back very single weekend for training.

Absolute waste of time. You can't stop young lads from having a few beers from time to time and nor should you try to.
Now clearly lads should not be on the piss a few days before a championship game - that goes without saying - but that's very different to having a blanket drink ban.

All part of the wider drive to "elite performance" throughout the association. Got a good laugh last year when some S&C lad on Twitter was proudly showing off the end of season tests they were putting the Offaly U14 development squad through. "Putting them through their paces".

Theres a balance to it, any team taking themselves seriously won't be drinking the week before a championship game, but some of the best bonding and memories you'll ever make is heading back for a few pints after a game. Nothing mad because you still want to get back on track at training during the week.

Championship was/is and I'd say for every club different. Wouldn't be too many that would let themselves down in prep for that game!

Happened to many of us. I remember being fit as f**k, ridiculously so in school. Playing Senior from 16. Could swing off a 10 foot Basketball rim and field ball from the skies.

Hit university at 18 and hit the drink and pizza hard. Dont think i was ever injured before it, by the end of 1st year i gained a stone (not of muscle) and was heading South. End of 2nd year i'd gained another stone and remember i nearly couldnt start (shouldnt have) on club U21 team.
Many others (who i would have seen as poor footballers((basically just handpassers like all players are now)) were getting stronger in Gyms etc and leaving me in their dust.

Aged 21 i couldnt touch the bottom of the Basketball net (which is 9 foot high).

Further i got away from it the worse i got. Nearly all comebacks ruined by injuries given carrying extra weight.
Fast forward to my 30s and i was eating healthier and trying to do my best (but the injuries i'd sustained as a result of the above never let me be my best again) and like you i was then the one giving out to kids for doing what i did (actually nearly not as bad as i did).

Circle of life and without proper guidance or support/family etc easy to go that way.

Balance to it is the key. I couldnt handle find it!

Inflation is defined in economics as the rate of increase in prices. 

It has come down, even as prices continue to rise, albeit more slowly.

Richard Nixon was the first president to use the third derivative to advance his case for reelection, stating that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing. In other words, the rate of the rate of the rate at which the purchasing power of money is decreasing was decreasing.

Speeding fines

* 35mph in a while 30mph zone (I wasn't, 110%, I was at 30mph well before entering the 30mph zone.

* 1st letter arrives, NO right of appeal, asking me to confirm it was me

* 2nd letter asking me confirm I'll pay fine / take speed awareness

* 3rd letter then to confirm amount (£60 + a wee £5 Offender Levy, whatever that is)

* payment only by cheque (who the fcuk has had a cheque book the last 20 years??) or postal order. Went and got a postal order, £8.30 fee for it.
The girl behind the counter @ the Post Office  asked me 'The Clerk of Petty Sessions?, we'll have another 50 of those today, and everyday.

So a nice wee total of £73.30 for going 30mph in a 30mph zone... 110% that speed gun was pointed a couple of hundred yards down the road.

3 x letters, postal order or cheque, the 'offence' happened early September.... Is it 2023 of 1973?!

About 200 yards before we hit the 30mph my work colleague shouted re the speed van. I was at 40 down the road (two lanes of a climbing road in a built up area, famous in Derry for being a money making exercise).. I wasn't over to 30 hitting the 30 zone. Look I've been caught coming into Desertmartin and another 4 lane in Derry the last 20 years, if I'm speeding I'm speeding, I've zero bother with admitting to it

Both the Derry (just before the Altnagelvin) and Desertmartin speed van locations are there solely to make money.
The Derry one always seems to appear when there is an event on which brings traffic to the city. Eg GAA fixtures, St Patrick's Day etc.

In Desertmartin, they are always hidden behind a sizeable tree in the wee layby. As a village location it must have one of the highest counts of having a speed van located there in the North. Can't remember ever seeing the van anywhere else in South Derry.

Why is this in the WTF thread?

because the "leader of the free world" is gaslighting people in relation to inflation, either that or he's just plan dumb but I've seen similar from our neighbours over in London, but they're gaslighting people as well.

How is it gaslighting?

Is price gouging NOT taking place?

Has inflation NOT been steadily coming down, at least in the US?


Price gouging is taking place but the fact that inflation has dropped doesn't mean that items are getting cheaper, they won't, the only change is that the rate of increase is slowing, but it's still going up.

If anything gouging exacerbated inflation as companies put their arms in and increased their profits exponentially.

Hammer excess profits with taxation and that'll take the will out of companies to rip people off, but that's a bogey concept to the trickle down economics fanatics.

It's not Joe Biden's job to explain what the word inflation means. Surely most adults understand that central banks aim for a low, steady rate of inflation as a sign of a healthy economy? That prices are continually ticking up, even in the best of times?

And you yourself acknowledged that gouging made things way worse. Is that not what Biden was on about?

I'd love to know how inflation (even low) is a sign of a healthy economy?
It means that for your savings not to lose value you have to invest it, so you risk losing some of your capital, and then even if you do gain you pay capital gains tax on your investment gains that you had to invest.  All because you didn't want to lose purchasing power with your previously hard earned savings.
Think about that; the governments get tax revenues from the investment gains of people who have to invest not to lose ground.

People don't realise that inflation is a means by which purchasing power is taking away from people; how is that good?
Ideally the powers that be want the infaltion to be low enough so people generally don't notice it, but it doesn't change the fact of what inflation does.

3 x letters, postal order or cheque, the 'offence' happened early September.... Is it 2023 of 1973?!

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?

Yes, but  the charts (and the music  industry in general), this last 20 odd years has  been absolutely diabolical .  11 year olds  buying/downloading  the latest X factor tripe usually hits no 1

Fine and penalty points.

There was a one in Ballymena court last year.  A defendant representing himself started speaking about how the calibration result recorded in the police officer's statement was outside the operating range by 0.1m.  The judge asked sure what difference would that make you were 15mph over the limit.  The defendant started to explain the maths to him and the Judge replied.  That's all well and good but why should I take your word for it.  The defendant responded well I run the company that holds the contract for calibrating all the speed guns for all the police forces in the UK so I kinda know what I am talking about.  I don't think I have ever seen the judge as lost for words

Also depends on availability of course in your area, if you've had it before and time between offence and request for the course.

* 35mph in a while 30mph zone (I wasn't, 110%, I was at 30mph well before entering the 30mph zone.

* 1st letter arrives, NO right of appeal, asking me to confirm it was me

* 2nd letter asking me confirm I'll pay fine / take speed awareness

* 3rd letter then to confirm amount (£60 + a wee £5 Offender Levy, whatever that is)

* payment only by cheque (who the fcuk has had a cheque book the last 20 years??) or postal order. Went and got a postal order, £8.30 fee for it.
The girl behind the counter @ the Post Office  asked me 'The Clerk of Petty Sessions?, we'll have another 50 of those today, and everyday.

So a nice wee total of £73.30 for going 30mph in a 30mph zone... 110% that speed gun was pointed a couple of hundred yards down the road.

3 x letters, postal order or cheque, the 'offence' happened early September.... Is it 2023 of 1973?!


Me.

So you paid  £60 fine.  Now what?  Do you have to take the speed awareness  course and/or got penalty points?

Fine and penalty points.
If your not within a certain threshold can you not do the course.  I was not so lucky a few months back and encountered the same shite around payment. 

Yes, I thought you could do the course  and by doing so,    avoided the points?
Depends how far over the speed limit you were

Also depends on availability of course in your area, if you've had it before and time between offence and request for the course.
A really fair way of determining it  ;D

Fine and penalty points.

There was a one in Ballymena court last year.  A defendant representing himself started speaking about how the calibration result recorded in the police officer's statement was outside the operating range by 0.1m.  The judge asked sure what difference would that make you were 15mph over the limit.  The defendant started to explain the maths to him and the Judge replied.  That's all well and good but why should I take your word for it.  The defendant responded well I run the company that holds the contract for calibrating all the speed guns for all the police forces in the UK so I kinda know what I am talking about.  I don't think I have ever seen the judge as lost for words

David, I heard a story once. Not sure if true.  You could help.

Someone was once charged with speeding and stopped. They were told they were X over the limit.

He asked the cop when was the speed gun last calibrated and he asked to see a certificate of when it was calibrated last.

Does it have to be calibrated every day and could you request to see it? If not, is the speed fine still valid?

I suppose it's a technicality more than anything else.

Are you a cop lol. Thats why you're meant to get leeway as far as I know if you're only a small bit over. Must speedos if they say you're doing 30 you're actually doing a little bit less

Strange you should mention this as its become somewhat of a cause celebre for me this last year or so.  Building on from that earlier Ballymena story I ended up representing that guy in the case.  The position is that per guidance on the use of the gun is as follows.  Before use they should be checked this is known as a conformity check.  The results should be noted.  The conformity check doesn't assess if the gun is calibrated properly at all distances simply that they are working correctly at an exact distance making it more likely they are working at all distances.  A failure to perform the conformity check doesn't invalidate the reading but may result in the evidence from the gun being excluded.  In addition the gun must be calibrated once a year and if not can not be used.  The calibration also doesn't prove the gun is accurate (except at the exact moment it is calibrated).  You are entitled to see the certificate but it doesn't have to be produced immediately

Anyway since the Ballymena case I have had some success with the issue

So starmer stands up in parliament today and says that the maximum it can take is one hundred and for this one hundred they take in one hundred from Rwanda? Them tories should be locked up.

I was took for 46 in a 30, and I swear it was 36, yes still over, I had seen the van from a fair distance, even behind the speed sign, and had slowed down well under 30 from way out. I even looked back at it on the car camera, and I look fairly slow on it. I take it them cameras automatically record speeds and can't be wrong. Was gonna take it to court, not to argue I was over the limit, but the cameras couldn't been correct and deliberately calibrated over.

Rwanda pretty rich in natural resources so wonder if its tied in some way to that. They seemed to talk a lot about it developing etc. Brit public to foot the bill for the first 5 years of anyone deported to rwanda. Its all electioneering shite. There is accommodation for what 2 boat loads ffs. Plus if they committ a crime whilst there they can be deported back from Rwanda. Brexit still killing the tories. Not long now.....

Of course it is related to Rwandan resources and the now higher bar for UK visas. They want to give UK passports to 100 wealthy Rwandans for every 100 boat people.
It doesn't matter that the wealth came from slavery in cobalt mines or supplying arms to the M23.

The tories are stripping every bit of money out of the UK tax payer just like someone who knows their business is about to go bust and fúck everyone else.

Starmer has an open goal at his mercy, but it's looking like Sunak won't be on the opposite side of the election, he'll be gone before then.

Take the points/fine , or go to court and  challenge the camera calibration ?

If the cops are not following the manufacturer requirements for calibration and testing of their instruments, they should absolutely be challenged. One would hope that in all cases they'd be able to provide the records. In my field (not police) we use a lot of precision instruments and we have to be prepared for the possibility of having to defend our work in front of a lawyer or judge.

* 35mph in a while 30mph zone (I wasn't, 110%, I was at 30mph well before entering the 30mph zone.

* 1st letter arrives, NO right of appeal, asking me to confirm it was me

* 2nd letter asking me confirm I'll pay fine / take speed awareness

* 3rd letter then to confirm amount (£60 + a wee £5 Offender Levy, whatever that is)

* payment only by cheque (who the fcuk has had a cheque book the last 20 years??) or postal order. Went and got a postal order, £8.30 fee for it.
The girl behind the counter @ the Post Office  asked me 'The Clerk of Petty Sessions?, we'll have another 50 of those today, and everyday.

So a nice wee total of £73.30 for going 30mph in a 30mph zone... 110% that speed gun was pointed a couple of hundred yards down the road.

3 x letters, postal order or cheque, the 'offence' happened early September.... Is it 2023 of 1973?!


Me.

So you paid  £60 fine.  Now what?  Do you have to take the speed awareness  course and/or got penalty points?

Fine and penalty points.

There was a one in Ballymena court last year.  A defendant representing himself started speaking about how the calibration result recorded in the police officer's statement was outside the operating range by 0.1m.  The judge asked sure what difference would that make you were 15mph over the limit.  The defendant started to explain the maths to him and the Judge replied.  That's all well and good but why should I take your word for it.  The defendant responded well I run the company that holds the contract for calibrating all the speed guns for all the police forces in the UK so I kinda know what I am talking about.  I don't think I have ever seen the judge as lost for words

David, I heard a story once. Not sure if true.  You could help.

Someone was once charged with speeding and stopped. They were told they were X over the limit.

He asked the cop when was the speed gun last calibrated and he asked to see a certificate of when it was calibrated last.

Does it have to be calibrated every day and could you request to see it? If not, is the speed fine still valid?

I suppose it's a technicality more than anything else.

Strange you should mention this as its become somewhat of a cause celebre for me this last year or so.  Building on from that earlier Ballymena story I ended up representing that guy in the case.  The position is that per guidance on the use of the gun is as follows.  Before use they should be checked this is known as a conformity check.  The results should be noted.  The conformity check doesn't assess if the gun is calibrated properly at all distances simply that they are working correctly at an exact distance making it more likely they are working at all distances.  A failure to perform the conformity check doesn't invalidate the reading but may result in the evidence from the gun being excluded.  In addition the gun must be calibrated once a year and if not can not be used.  The calibration also doesn't prove the gun is accurate (except at the exact moment it is calibrated).  You are entitled to see the certificate but it doesn't have to be produced immediately

Anyway since the Ballymena case I have had some success with the issue

So if someone was  caught speeding in a 30 zone, what's the recommended  path?

Take the points/fine , or go to court and  challenge the camera calibration ?

Each case turns on its own facts.  If you want to think about challenging I would speak to a solicitor.  The legal structures in NI are such that not as many technicalities result in acquittals as in England and Wales but some still do

They are 30 zones  for a reason.  Kids about,  schools, traffic,  housing , driveways, etc... the amount of people I see flying through  30 zones in particular is  unbelievable .

Can't remember the exact details, but one of the radio stations ran a report on 3 English counties trialling ref's wearing bodycams recently. Suspensions etc went down from hundreds to 9 during the same time period the season before.
The bodycams record the last 30 secs, then overwrite with the next. They do however have the ability to push the record button to when dealing with a specific incident

Man in England getting done for flying a UFF and UDA fleg in his back garden.

The WTF bit is that he bought the flegs on the Shankill road and can't understand how they would be illegal and being sold on the high street.

As well as being a dump fúck it highlights the ineptitude of the peelers here.

The army went over to the side of the Brits in 1922.
This "Óglaigh na hÉireann" thing is very nuanced.

A 32-year-old man who received almost €500,000 in monetary gifts from his parents has failed in his €65,835 tax battle with the Revenue Commissioners.

The Tax Appeals Commission (TAC) found no documentary evidence was provided to support the man's claim that some of the monies were from his Communion and Confirmation.

They could have passed it through some Russian middle men, that would have sorted the Revenue. Of course they would not get the money back.

In all seriousness though, what would  happen  if the heir to the throne came  out as gay?  Let's say, Willy's nipper  married a dude , and  becomes king. Well,  surely it can't be  the King and partner, also  called the king?

The character of Buffalo Bill in the silence of the Lambs

was based on a real life case

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein
Edward Theodore Gein (/ɡiːn/; August 27, 1906[1] – July 26, 1984), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American murderer, suspected serial killer and body snatcher. Gein's crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered that he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin.

Christ it was nonsense. Neville does analysis on other managers tactics and you don't have to agree with him.

March was analysing himself and espousing his football philosophy, it was delusional grifting at its highest. Not helped either by his over animated leaping around.

Young people in Northern Ireland are being forced into sex and criminality to pay off drug debts, a BBC Spotlight investigation has been told.

Academic and community sources have told of allegations involving rape and rioting in exchange for reduced debt.

In some cases, the acts can reportedly reduce the amount a person owes by £40 or £50.

Of course you wouldn't expect the prison population to match the general population distribution. There's hundreds of reasons for that.  Crime being higher in traditionally impoverished areas being one of the most prevalent.

Criminology is a very complex area so I dont purport to explain it all.  There's plenty of interrelated criminogenic factors, median income, population density, age, gender balance all have major impacts on crime rates, as do other features.  For example petty crime has exploded in Northern Ireland since the end of the troubles.  There's a large number of reasons for that, but one of the main ones was the availability and trust in police to investigate same.  During the troubles there was a disproportionate number of protestant low level criminals but that was reflective of crime reports etc. I cant remember what the most recent figures were but they are much closer. 

The point I'm making is that in very few places in the world if any does the prison population match the breakdown of society,

https://www.statista.com/statistics/385106/crime-rate-in-northern-ireland/

Now it's been nearly 20 years since I studied Criminology but I don't think that link shows the whole story. The earliest figure I see on that link is from 2002. Which is not when the troubles ended. During the 80's and 90's total crime stood at I think around the mid 40's crime per 1000 people mark including terrorism offences. In 2002 it was over 60. It has come down since but given that the troubles crime rate included terrorism offences I stand by what I was taught which Professor Kieran McEvoy used to describe in his books as the Ulster Paradise.

Certainly Wikipedia and this article seem to suggest that was correct.

Kieran McEvoy is a solid source but I would be surprised if he stated that petty crime exploded after the troubles. It's hard to get stats for the 90s but if we go back to the GFA in 98 there's a similar picture;

I accept that it's a complex discussion; however the old cliché that paramilitaries kept a lid on crime doesn't stand up to any serious scrutiny (acknowledging that's not what you said)

No complex means not something that I as someone who only practices criminal law, hasn't studied criminology since my under grad degree and has very poor written communication skills is going to be able to accurately explain in a short message on a discussion forum.

For example crime increases dramatically in a recession. So do personal injury claims. Is there one reason for this?  No there are several.

Crime increases in post conflict society again there's no singular reason but there are plenty of complicated interrelated reasons.

Do harsher sentences act a deterrent? No again differing reasons for that depending on the type of crime.

I see quite often media wishing to boil these issues down into sound bites and over simplify what are actually complex issues.

Well it wouldn't be the first time I had misremembered something I thought someone had said in a lecture but I'm pretty confident he did.

I don't think paramilitaries particularly kept a lid on crime (at least not in terms of acting as a deterrent)although there may have been some small element of that but there are some inter related issues that spin off from that. Crime not being reported in certain areas and instead anti social behaviour being dealt with by punishment beating. As a result crimes occurring but not be reported, investigated or making their way into statistics for example.

You are entirely correct though about the difficulty in getting accurate statistics from that time.

I should have all my lectures from my time recorded. I must see if I can fish them out and check that I'm remembering correctly.

I have no basis for thinking this, but I don't think he believes half the shit he spouts. I think he got himself in an "anti-woke" hole at one stage and instead of apologising, dusting himself off and moving on, he kept digging and as he noticed he had an audience kept digging some more.

Boxing has become a complete farce. I know strange bouts happened years ago too but that is all we seem to be getting now.

Beyond a farce.. The fact that Fury still holds a belt, he's fought 1 boxer in a defence bout in 2 years, Derek Chisora, says it all.

I believe this Jake Paul chap called out Canelo during the week  ;D

Comedy sport now. No credibility at all.

Fact is Jake Paul at 199, and yet to fight a fighter on his weight class, maybe Tommy Fury was. Has bluffed his way through fights and has yet to fight a actual youthful proper boxer. All he brings is farce.

It is. Because it is another bubble. So it's very dangerous.
Houses in Cavan or anywhere rural will not be worth €375,000 if unemployment kicks off again.
I saw a house in the Galway bogland quoted at €490,000 the other day. Prices are insane given what people earn.

The only interview they have is in front of the electorate.

In reality 7 people going for 5 jobs...so the chances of success are good.

Do SF still take the standard wage or did tht go?

If I was an MLA, I'd concentrate on one issue and hammer it.

Say car insurance for example. I'd be right on top of that.

They'd have a protest, stand outside insurance offices with a few placards (Enough is enough!), give a wee interview to UTV etc etc.
Of course absolutely nothing will happen because why would the insurance companies care, but the MLA looks good for the voters and sure look it, that's all that matters.

Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.

Lol no. Stormont hasn't the power to run a hen house.

They could  heat one though.

I knew this coming. Tee'd it up for someone to come in and slam dunk it. Well played.

Another thing that needs to happen is sorting the mot wait times. Short term allow people to tax the car without mot.

It's farcical at the minute with MOT and Tax. Two different bodies who don't appear to have any communication whatsoever. Zero common sense between these two departments but sure what else would you expect.

Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.
I would doubt even London would have the clout to do anything about it, even if the will was there to do something, which there isn't.

There was an article a few weeks ago that the FCA were to meet with the Treasury to see if anything could be done

The local MLAs are being put under some pressure to sort out at least some of the ongoing debacle re. these Victoria Square apartments. Apparently these people have been paying rates since 2019 for properties they can't use.

For those of you chaps in the game, if there are definite structural defects in the apartments, how can *nobody* be held liable? The 2 big construction companies involved seem to have denied all liability.

Crazy

Communities Minister, Gordon Lyons, has confirmed that his department will take responsibility for defective buildings in Belfast, after news this week that a multi-million pound compensation claim by owners evacuated due to safety concerns is to be dismissed
On Wednesday, a High Court judge struck out the group action brought over structural issues at the Victoria Square residential complex because a legislative time limit for mounting the case had expired.

In Northern Ireland, such claims must be made within six years of a building being completed.

In England and Wales it is 30 years.

Mr Justice Huddleston expressed sympathy for the "human pain" of those who have lost their homes.

Amid suggestions that the city centre development may have to be demolished, the court heard some residents could now face financial ruin.

Completed back in 2008, the building on Chichester Street contains a total of 91 apartments.

This is an interesting one. It's hard not to feel heartbroken for those that purchased properties in good faith, only to lose them.

Do developers retain contingency monies for up to x years in case defects are found? If it starts to apply to construction then their will be calls to make it apply to other builds such as software.

I remember those apartments were highly sought after when they were built. There was a waiting list at a time. Some mess.
