A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I would love Ireland to qualify for the World Cup for all the usual reasons. But it would also be fantastic to have the whole country festooned in tricolours that haven't been put up by the "Ireland is Full" lot.

It's always important to remember that Peadar Tóibín was so butthurt about not being able to force women to be pregnant against their will that he formed his own political party about it so any time he opens his mouth on anything you should immediately dismiss it and come back to that central point

Today is International Day of Tolerance.
In today's world intolerance is growing at an extreme pace. So it's more important than ever to stand up for tolerance and humanity.
Stand up for one another,stand up against hate, bullying and bigotry. Even if you stand alone sometimes

I sometimes wonder if latter-day Zig and Zag, when Podge was introduced, was a fever dream.
I suppose Ireland is the only country where you can wear zogabongs, but hardly anyone does that anymore.
So what ARE you allowed to wear in Ireland?

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

SAIPAN, Glenn Leyburn & Lisa Barros d'Sa's new movie, feels very much to me like a follow-up to their Good Vibrations in its focus on someone who is more interested in being themselves than being successful, even if - as in this case - it means missing out on playing in the World Cup.
