Good luck!

I submitted the more-or-less final draft of my section of the new book about Jaki Liebezeit late last night. It's become a bit of a millstone over the last year and a half, I'm pretty relieved. Proofreading a 15,000 word discography - what is essentially a repetitive list - is a horrible...

Winner for "he's an absolute fucking Doyle"

Totally. However...Mary Lou McDonald was saying today that some people were putting the collapse of the Sinn Fein vote down to Sinn Fein people not wanting any of these Dragon dickheads to get in. So rather than splitting the vote further by voting for Liath Ni Riada, they went for the big bloc...

I'm pretty sure i joined a good while before my profile says I did...wasn't there some mad data loss around that time where a load of Thumped disappeared? Been an occasional blow-in ever since. I only started paying this year...glad I did and should have done it years ago. I met lots of good...

I think the low turnout is about how miserable the debate has been - and as you say, the quality of the candidates etc. Not the relative importance of the election. Personally, I think it's really important. The hostile takeover of the country by the dickheads would be complete if any of the...

I think Michael D is a substantial candidate, intelligent, dignified and statesmanlike. The others are mostly varying combinations of transparent sleeveen and entitled chancer. To be honest I only remember the headlines of MDH's political career - I don't remember the New Labour / Neo-Liberal...

Turnout barely into double figures in a good few places :X3:

Think I might get this made into a tshirt. I LOVE it. MDH's arm particularly.

It didn't stop him coming close to getting the gig seven years ago. Casey is popular this time around because "we" don't know him, but "we" like the cut of his jib. Gallagher can't hide behind being the new guy this time. And FUCK Ivan Yates, the bluff man of the people. He wasn't saying this...

TRIGGERED

So the presence of blasphemy wording in the constitution "could have a chilling effect because people aren't sure". That's a pretty clear reason to get rid. He briefly makes reference to the incitement to hatred thing...he doesn't seemed concerned that's it's weak. Could have done with hearing a...

Will listen to that now, @ann post. Thank you!

Josepha Madigan did a very very weak job this morning on R1 of defending the Yes argument. The other dude (Professor something or other) said that retaining the blasphemy wording is important as a bulwark in the absence of effective Hate Speech legislation. Is there any validity to this?

haaaa :) Thank you!

Absolutely. To go off-topic for a moment, this is the reason why some of the stuff that popped up on Thumped in the last few months has been so infuriating to me. I've done my thinking on these matters. I don't need some no-mark dickhead whose brain has just clicked into first gear telling me...

Not about the debate, which plainly nobody (myself included) cared about, but about the sub-editor in the I.T., who must have been off sick this morning, and Miriam Lord who might try harder to figure out what the fuck she's talking about: "The three men, stood together wearing an...

The mid-90's to 2000's "ordinariness" is so pervasive and undifferentiated as to almost look - god forbid - like a calculated decision.
