Every time I think of the horseplay message I just think all international air travel needs to be put on hold for the foreseeable.
What's your beef with Soundings? Far better than the shite they teach them nowadaysthe books compiled by Prof Augustine Martin
. Would have been laughed out of school at the mere suggestion of playing rugby. But took it up in my 20s after a band broke up and found myself at a loose end. Absolutely love it. All shapes and sizes, all walks of life. Of course there are quite a few D4 teams but not so many posh boys outside of them.
How do the nordies feel about living down south?
Donegal is not "Nordie" though. As anyone from Northern Ireland will make sure to tell you. It's only the free staters that can't tell the difference.About once a month some idiot makes some bombs/guns/ra joke when you are in the bar drinking a pint. This is followed by a mildly defensive 'i was only having a laugh' interjection/lighten up man type mid section. If you respond in any way that isn't joking it reinforces the stereotype they were hoping for, if you perpetuate the joke then you become the problem. Usually then followed by some mealy-mouthed border concerns / brexit talk / half remembered politics.
Other than that I'm actually from the south and have a Donegal accent.
The upside is none of this actually matters, right? It's only a mild annoyance at worstThis is followed by a mildly defensive 'i was only having a laugh' interjection/lighten up man type mid section.

What I hate most about this shit is the obviousness of the joke. If your "humour" is based entirely on repeating stale shit you heard off someone else, then I suggest you just fucking give up trying to be funny
When I think of Ulster Unionists, what comes to mind is bitter, angry, arrogant, incredibly argumentative, pompous etc.... All negative things. Have I been conditioned by a lifetime of biased media coverage?

The only time media amplified NI news in our generation was when someone was marching or something blew up. I know a fair few unionists who'd give anyone a run for thier money on kindness. I guess it's probably like the Irish in New York who only see Dublin fleetingly on Patrick's day on TV.When I think of Ulster Unionists, what comes to mind is bitter, angry, arrogant, incredibly argumentative, pompous etc....
