"Neon-colored, semi-viscous margarine product" is the kind of thing Nirvana used to put on the back of their t-shirts in the 90s.

This girlband doc treating us like idiots, as if we aren't all well aware that Jenny was in Precious before she was in Atomic Kitten. Insulting.

One thing is certain. Nobody in politics or the media told this paticular person to set this particular building on fire. Therefore nothing they said contributed to this attack and, frankly, it's disgusting that you'd even allude to such a thing.

Ivan Yates becomes the first middle aged white guy to fail at podcasting, in keeping with being the first bookie ever to go bankrupt

I have been wondering all day if Yates is a Prick or a Gobshite. I considered him the former most of my life but given how the screw-ups are accumulating, I think he's now categorically hapless enough for Gobshite-status.
If you're one of The Adults In The Roomβ„’ in Ireland you can be on a fat state pension in your 40's while arguing for welfare cuts, go bankrupt running a bookies, FF will still pay you to banjax their presidential run, and you'll still be invited on the airwaves to talk shite forever

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

If you want to feel like a class-conscious degenerate prevert but also put in reasonable times while doing speed intervals, I can recommend DIFFERENT CLASS by Pulp as a running soundtrack.

Justice Minister confirms arson attack on IPAS building in Drogheda last night.

"Fireworks were thrown into the building, causing a fire and putting lives at risk. This was a terrifying ordeal for the women and children living there, a number of whom were taken to hospital."
