Quote from: laoislad on Today at 05:12:06 PMFound it hard keeping my eyes open watching that. Absolutely dreadful performance.
Only saw a bit at the start of the first half and it was one way traffic from Fulham. I'm shocked it finished 0-0.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on Today at 05:03:26 AMAll the farmers not out protesting Trump, like earlier in the year, say he put diesel up 50p a litre and heating oil up to £1 a litre. Nah didnt think so.

Has to be the most ridiculous post of the year.
Why is that? Country was brought to a standstill about tax rates on fuel. Tax is a percentage of the total cost of a litre so you'd think the man driving up the overall price would be in the firing line. But hardly likely when creeps like Christopher Duffy think he's a great fella.

Quote from: Puckoon on September 11, 2026, 03:22:07 PMThere is and should be no hierarchy of victims and tragedy in this world.

The level of intended terror however that was unleashed on the western world in 9/11, the london attacks etc... was unparalleled. Terror, not just destruction. It was designed for maximum chaos, pain, confusion - sheer terror.

Israel aside, I do not think that was ever the MO of the US or UK in their responses and the execution of the "war on terror".

 

By whom?

I think some people feel that pain and suffering in some far away place in Africa is less to that when it was brought upon places like Madrid/Paris/London/New York and while that is a small small fraction of the carnage that goes on everywhere else, it was still horrific and terror

As said already and I've said it many times, there is zero hierarchy of victims and suffering, excusing/blaming is daft

My ask was meant to be who was responsible for the 9-11 attack?

It wasn't some yahoo stuck in a cave in Afghanistan, I think we all accept that.



I'd imagine there's  a  huge number still accepts  it was a yahoo in a cave in  Afghanistan.
What particular conspiracy theory have I missed?

Seville might get a turn out of people going over from Ireland to the matches.

Quote from: DaleCooper on September 07, 2026, 11:18:12 PMWagon wheels and many other "chocolate" biscuits no longer use a substance that qualifies as actual chocolate.

I speculate its not only cost but manufacturing process to quickly coat and set on the biscuit. Its listed as "chocolate flavoured susbtance" to avoid getting sued.

You can see telltale sign by looking at underside and seeing through to actual biscuit, sometimes its actually exposed. In which case you can complain and get reimbursed with vouchers.
I had a Wagon Wheel a few months ago and didn't finish it. Stinking.

Quote from: ArmaghTastic on September 07, 2026, 06:06:32 PMOne of the greatest events to ever take place in Croke Park.
Fair play to her , she got the send off she deserved, Whatever your opinion on women's boxing but she has also done so much for women's sport in general and is an inspiration to many young girls around the country and world,and she is a great ambassador for this country of ours.
I'd like to see the stats on female sports participation off the back of Katie Taylor's career. As for one of the greatest events ever to take place in Croke Park... Are we to presume you mean non-GAA events?! Last Saturday won't even make the footnotes in the history of Croke Park.
That's the spirit Tony
Come on now, if people say silly stuff they should be challenged on it. It's important to learn from one's mistakes...

Horses for courses. Trades can be a grind and certainly aren't for everyone - plenty of boys in Armagh leaving for Dublin at 4.30am and some in their 60s still at it. The advantage with a trade is they are generally globally transferable.

Learn while you earn (or vice versa) a good approach for young ones now but you just can't get the same uni experience.

Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, or, better still, too 3 Motown songs..
Motown combo, rap and hip hop combo as a minimum might take the bad look off Austin.

Quote from: Armagh4sam2024 on September 06, 2026, 08:12:16 PMTell him to join the DUPeedos. 60k MLA salary for doing nothing, bonus pay from the local uda drug dealer, fill your boots with RHI or whatever the latest taxpayer scam is....
Any of the parties. Shinners doing nicely too out of the tax payer. In fact outside those holding a ministry Emma Sheerin and Aoife Finnegan are the biggest lifters on over 200k apiece. Value for money I'm sure  :o .
