I live well over 200 miles from Belfast so it's way too much hassle and expense for me. Damned haven't been in Dublin since 2016, I think. I think The Captain was 70 recently??

They're playing in Belfast in August outdoors with The Damned

The Oasis bros hate Blair for the last 20 years and Noel is on record as saying they were muppets who were conned by New Labour. Starmer is even worse than Blair and doesn't try to disguise it. Fuck all difference between him and Tories. That was said about New Labour but now it more true than...

A few years ago this advert for a necessary health product was removed from Irish TV: Many of the reasons cited by those offended were openly bigoted relating to the actor / presenter being a black woman with a northern English accent. Within a few years adverts for body hair removal products...

Yeah - white Americans are awful eejits.

Sorry I spelled Amaral wrong - twice.

Whoever made that may have been taking something that was interferring with their work. Not Hanna-Barbera's best moment. Nowhere near as bad as Disney's early 1990's version of Aladdin. My nephews were watching that about 8 years ago and I had to intervene and tell them how racist it was. Dr...

Armaral (1954 - 31 May 2024) 40 times capped (1975-81) Brazilian defender who played all 7 matches in 1978 World Cup, when Brazil were not far off winning the tournament. Armaral was suffering with cancer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaral_(footballer,_born_1954) This must have been just...

Oh right. I thought you meant the Bad Brains singer! HR Puff n Stuff is one those kids programmes I always think I just imagined. Especially as I was 3 in 1979. Don't remember Banana Splits. I heard of that as an adult. 'cause of The DIckies covering the theme tune

The Madonna fan's grievances are outside the remit of this thread and relate to being ripped off at a concert.

Hi Lili. We missed you here.

I was nearly finished mopping the floor at top of stairs when the mop bucket started leaking badly. I lifted it up there was hole in the bucket - insanely there was a rubber stopper in the bucket(!!!) and it had gotten dislodged. I put a finger in the hole and ran to the toilet to empty the...

I used to live near Enniscorthy so it would be nice if the place's best known local was someone less smug. The way Toibin cultivated his establishment father figure of the Irish cultural milieu and then was officially given the role makes me puke. Pat Ingoldsby is someone 180 ° away from...

Was unsure whether to post 'RIP' for that. Billionaires = the scum of the earth. Forgot about mini sub exploding. Would have been better for the poor kid if his Dad was on the dole.

Colm Toibin is the arch establishment of the Irish literary scene with official roles to that effect. He always acted as such anyway. He writes lightweight paddy whackery novels and is somehow taken seriously. Toibin is everything an Irish writer shouldn't aspire to be.
