Things I do not understand

[Ambrose]

The cost of a woman’s hair do. My wife goes to a place called Brown Sugar in the City Center, it costs the price of a cheap holiday and its every six weeks.
My barber recently put up the price of a haircut from €10 to €12 and there was uproar. He lost lifelong customers over €2.

Got to agree about those short jeans and no socks.warrants a good kickin.

Short jeans are awful but jean shorts are fantastic.

I know you're obsessed with Liverpool players but Christ, there was no need to explain it.

Why do Irish people support certain English soccer teams? Why do people who are not from Manchester support United?

Why do Irish people support certain English soccer teams?...

Ha! I've been wanting to ask that. It's always mystified me.

I dunno. It's not a recent phenomenon either, but it's something I don't get worked up about. But I don't get all the "banter" shit on the LFC thread lately.

They play in the big competitions that people are interested in. When your local team plays in a Mickey Mouse competition that nobody takes any interest in, you tend to choose a team in a competition that people want to talk about and eventually you support them like a die hard fan from that city. Meanwhile, your local team dies a slow death, almost without you knowing it..or caring at that stage.

Why do all the good Irish soccer players play for English teams?

The emergence of TV brought exposure of all these clubs. Also many people emigrated to England down through the decades and were exposed to the foreign code.

I think you have to be a bit thick not to know the answer to this.

Loads of Irish support NFL teams in the US, and nobody ever questions that. Yet, when Ireland had American football teams, they’d get a handful of supporters, the Irish Patriots, etc fans didn’t give a flying fook about local teams and they’ve probably all gone belly up.

Israel, getting away with what it gets away with

Cos all the Western establishments and media have made a deliberate decision not to bring attention to Israel's genocidal crimes.  Shameful.

Why though? Is there some big Jewish conspiracy? How can one country be allowed to continue in such a way with minimal sanctions? Why can’t stuff like this be questioned without being “anti-Semitic?”
