• The election of Barack Obama stands out as the single proudest moment I've ever felt as an American in my lifetime.


• I still refuse to pledge allegiance to the flag or sing the national anthem at events. However, I often cry when I hear the anthem because I do love and miss my country.


• Civic pride is a wonderful part of American culture. Litter isn't accepted in most parts and no one will beat you up if you remind them there is a bin right over there. Sadly I can't say the same for Ireland.


• Just one Greatest American? Come on, give me a few here. Jane Addams, founder of Social Work; Bill W, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous; Barbra Streisand; and my mom.

Thank God no one has anything bad to say about makeup products what can be bought in Amerikay. Or I think I'd be crushed, like an eye shadow 'neath a jackboot. Or similar.

Ah, but no amount of concealer can hide the pimples of American foreign policy!

True. Joan Rivers' makeup collection for QVC is the one I think most likely to succeed - but even so, there's only a finite amount of Polyfilla in the world at any one time. So maybe not.

Sunday Tribune in general has gone seriously downhill in the last few years. It's a shame. I'm almost on the verge of giving up Irish Sunday papers altogether ...

I gave up on Irish Sunday papers last year. The weekend Irish Times does the job. Don't even buy The Observer every Sunday now - just occasionally.

likewise. I first began to be annoyed at the tribunes exponentaly increasing mass, and then its equally swift decline in content.

More or less the same. If there's anything decent in any of the others you'll usually hear about it.
If I could find the schedule for the OMM I'd be happy.

hey I met that guy at a Thumped persons wedding

and what with the article written by a Thumped member...

Is there some sort Tribune/Thumped alliance going on?

This makes me....uneasy

Indeed.

I liked the dude's answers.
Defo nicking that 'multiple lovers' quip.

"The dude" posts here as stunning

Or used to, a lot. Not so much these days, perhaps

jane, it's not like you came across as india whisker!!!!

i don't see what's wrong with your soundbite?

 

[Jerry Twig]

Ah January indeed! I wrote the article that that quote was taken from (not the article Jane featured in). I think folks are reading it a tad out of context.

It's shit. Or would you prefer 'Dude, it's garbage'?

Now, you don't have to be sugarcoating your criticisms just because it's me... Tell me what you really think

 

[lympog]

I'm an ugly mug.

sure not - you're married, aren't you?

 

[Pantone247]

sure not - you're married, aren't you?

so now you can just let yourself go altogether

That's not a quip, that's the truth (so long as one's not too pedantic about the word "lover")

The Sunday Tribune Magazine in November had an article about being 30 and single and happy with that. It was proper crap. All these ridiculously rich women on about the pressure to be in a relationship but how they wouldn't look twice at most of the men in Dublin

FWIW I thought it was pretty funny
