Er could someone point out where I even tenuously equated gay sex with sex with animals? I used the comparison to show that in future,the way this world is going,it is not entirely inconceivable that bestiality will be defined as a human right and such relationships granted the same status as that of human relationships,on the basis that homosexuality, in the space of my short lifetime has travelled from a status of criminality to marriage endorsement in law.

On a lighter note I struggled to control my urine flow when I saw the Paddy Power billboard ad (featuring two hooded blokes kissing) and the Tiocfaidh Ar La caption,offering odds on the referendum outcome . Not often anyone successfully takes the piss out of Sinn Fein!

Tell me this... Would you be in favour of making homosexuality a crime again? (Yes or no please)

It is very rare any politician is held to account for anything up here AZ. I think that Wells went more due to an altercation or two at the weekend when he was out canvassing. (To be honest I have no evidence of this but more what I believe).

These guys say what they want.

Someone cited the word "consent". I merely responded that "consenting" to do something that is morally wrong doesn't make it right.

50 years ago homosexuality was a crime,now it is about to be fully "normalised" and given full and equal status with normal heterosexual relationships.And some people think my analogy of marrying your dog is a tad far fetched?

Well to pick holes in your analogy then... did the third person consent to be killed? So you have went from two consensual adults to one adult and one dog or two adults conspiring against one. Hardly the analogies of someone with a rational point.

It's not that it's far fetched - it's that it doesn't make any sense. The comparison illustrates, and reeks of, homophobia.

I guess two out of three in your analogy is a democracy though. Though what people like you would do in case a democratic decision goes against them is to raise a petition of concern first just in case it doesn't suit you so I guess the third person could do that and be safe anyway!

Reading between the lines it seems like you wouldn't be against homosexuality being criminalised either. Is that the case?

If two people consent to kill a third person is that ok? I am not homophobic,and don't disrespect anyone.I object to gay marriage simply on religious and moral grounds, like many others I might add.I genuinely pity any child who is reared in such a relationship,as if it is "normal".It is not and never will be.What chance has a child brought up by two men,denied the unique love of a mother,for example?

Hmm. Another spectacular comparison.

I think you should probably add the word homophobic to the list of words you don't understand.

Fearon you share the same opinion as jamie bryson on this. (I saw his view years ago on twitter as he gladly has disappeared now). That is the kind of person you share rationale with so be proud of yourself

As per most debates you again illustrate a basic lack of understanding of key english words.

Look this one up...

Consent

Bingo without wanting to get political how do border clubs fit in with ni athletics? I thought ulster clubs registered with ni athletics? If they did then you could maybe get in via the good for age thing? (I don't know enough about it but you guys, Letterkenny etc etc always compete up here though not sure of the registration logistics. )

We would be registered with Athletics Ireland. Not sure if NI was ever considered but I know that the main reason is that any events the club runs would be sanctioned and insured by AI. I'd know all the Monaghan clubs would be registered the same as they had to do so through the Monaghan County athletics board and we'd compete in the Monaghan leagues.

I know some of the boys joined the Newcastle AC in the past as they where into the Hill running but that has changed now and the club would be recognised as an affliated club when registering for events like the Hill and Dale serious.

As for getting in for London through the GFA process, that hasn't been a problem in the past for the lads and we all would have access to addresses across the water or up north.

Ah right I didn't realise you boys just fudged the address lol.

There's the GFA times for London: https://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/en-gb/how-to-enter/good-age-entry/

They're not too bad.

I do the ballot every year so must get on that. Not that interested in the marathon unless a big one like London so I just do it and if I get in I get in.

Tokyo sounds about on a par with Belfast lol.

Ah 2:17 was his time the previous week. 2:30 in that suit is some going.

I think it became quite tactical with so many good guys on sunday hence no world record or close. The womens was worse. The main ones shot themselves in the foot being so tactical and then the ethiopian woman wiped the floor with them when she kicked. If they'd pushed the pace hard earlier it'd have been a different winner.

If you've kids then ormeau park would be a great place to watch it. There are loads of people at finish line and loads handing out various freebies which I'm sure kids would love. In terms of accessibility there are side streets you could park down though they will be pretty busy as loads of relay runners will park there. I would nearly suggest parking in somewhere like stranmillis and dandering over. Even maybe rosetta.

You can watch an earlier bit on the ormeau road then go into the park by the ozone later when the masses finish. It's usually what I do if not participating though not sure I can be bothered with it this year.

Alternatives are antrim road and city centre though both will be earlier and not last as long. The ormeau road area will have people coming through from about 11 onwards up to early to mid afternoon. There is always a good atmosphere by the ozone at the end.

A boy in the club has the world record for being dressed as a zombie at 3:15 or so BM lol. Has the certificate and all. London was great viewing - would nearly make me want to do one! That fella Martelleti(spelling?) did London in a spiderman suit in 2:17! Madness.

Raymond mulgrew? All star nominee. Hugely talented but not seen since.

That's a good armagh team. Think they'll beat most in ulster. Geezer still won't smile though.

CT I take it you know about the pacers? There will be 4h 30 pacers - guys with balloons. My advice would be to stick with them from the start and they'll keep your pacing right and talk to you all the way through. Gideon's green will be a mental challenge but if you've done the work you'll b grand.

Dirty nellys if it's still there??

Watched a game or two there one time.

Personally i also believe some of the hammerings we have gotten have contributed very negatively. Last year we were doing great in leinster group stages winning all the games building a winning mentality. The next step was to start competing with the likes of offaly and wexford. Wexford then hammered us leaving us realising we're as far away as ever. Personally i found it one of our most disappointing defeats of the last 15-20 years and do wonder has that had an impact mentally. It wasn't the scoreline it was the fact they were on a completely different level.

Those things are bound to take their toll.
