People that use loose when they mean lose are far worse.

No one is worse than Mr. Noone for that - an illiterate loser if ever there was one

Quote from: imtommygunn on July 08, 2024, 09:26:43 PMSpeculation is growing that not all of the reform candidates who were put out forward for the general election actually existed. I saw this earlier today but it appears to be growing legs now. Ai generated etc who never campaigned. Be interesting to see if this is true. Surely not...
You could put a Reform sticker on a donkey and people would still vote for it...

Wasn't it much the same with SF last time 'round?!

Actually Mr. Noone often has some success. Often heard that Noone could put the ball over the bar, Noone could put in a good tackle, Noone was up for the fight, Noone regularly showed up for training, Noone took the no drinking and snack box ban seriously. Where would we be without him.

I presume there's someone's election posters that have been pixelated out...

Picture of Jeffrey Donaldson in the back seat of the cop car and a picture of Gerry Kelly driving it. Jamie Bryson thinks its 'a bit of edgy artistic expression, a bit like, for example, Kneecap'.

marty34 · July 10, 2024, 11:52:49 AM

Only thing is that I don't think this 'artistic' effort will win any prizes at Sundance etc.!

Nice of them to think of the environment by taking the tyres off.

How in under f**k did they get a cop car?
Donnelly motors around the corner do a lot of work for Police and Ambulance service, surely it couldn't have come from there?
