Go away.
No. You go away.
As per the comment below, “g’wan the Panti”!
Thanks man! I’ve been having difficulty working out how to use the internet and this is very helpful.
Let me just get it clear in my head: If I have a problem with the content of a website, I post a comment demanding that it “Go away.”
I’m such an eejit: I had been shrugging and moving on without comment to things I do enjoy.
Now you got it. And if doesn’t go away immediately, use an expletive. And if still no satisfaction, be rude about a group of people you regard as being ‘others’.
yep, just to be clear, I wasn’t saying go away to the content I was saying go away to Panti who I don’t class as an “other”. I just cant believe a person has written a book off the back of an interview that caused a bit of a stir. it’s the equivalent of Jordan’s autobiography. utter horsesh!t
and obviously having read an advance copy of the book you know that the only significant thing to have happened in her life is 1 RTE interview. Thanks I was really looking forward to reading it but after your comment I won’t bother.
His life. Panti is a character. Rory O’Neill, as far as I am aware, is not transexual.
Don’t let me stop you. I’m sure it will be a fantastic read, just not for me. Cheers
I don’t think you fully appreciate what he did. That “bit of a stir” was massive.
The bit of a stir that you experienced due to Panti is your own business. Nobody else’s.
But does it warrant a book to be written on the back of it?
Those gays and their agendas. That cunning speech commercially calculated to exploit these nefarious messages. Why can all gays be subversive and on the fringes of society like the gays and drag queens of yore. They should never form part of your mainstream. Cretin.
That is not what I said and is certainly not what I intended you to presume from my comment.
Which one of Jordon’s autobiographies pissed you off the most, she’s written or had written 5 :)
Being Jordan (2004)
A Whole New World (2006)
Pushed to the Limit (2008)
You Only Live Once (2010)
Love, Lipstick and Lies (2013)
(and 8 novels, holy fupp…. like ya, whatever… who buys this sh*t)
My point exactly. Thanks clampers.
So you’re saying one book by an Irish transvestite entertainer at a time of shifting societal attitudes to LGBT issues is equivalent to that lot? Maybe it’s just not for you and you should live and let live.
yep, you’re probably right. I’ve never seen such a backlash to such a throwaway comment I made. I’ll leave it there so. I’m backing slowly out of the room…
Drag queen, not transvestite.
Transvestite is male tomboy, drag queen is gay man in a dress.
Eddie Izzard covered it in Dress To Kill.
Whooooooosh Nigel…. I wasn’t saying that at all….
Chimpy referenced Jordan’s autobio… I wondered which one… and all the time I was not at all being serious :)
Mucho apologioso, Clampers, that was directed at Chimpy.
Chimpy, of all the things going on in modern Ireland, getting incenced at a transvestite getting a book deal is downright peculiar.
I’m not really incensed, I just think he is milking it too much. He risks losing his credibility.
There’s a little bit more to Rory O Neill than just the recent debacle. If there wasn’t, why would he have been on the Late Late in the first place?
OK – perhaps that’s not a great indicator, but there’s a lot more to the guy than one interview and why not capitalise on those who saw his speech and wanted to find out more?
G’wan the Panti!
‘Tis far from Oxford commas ye were raised.
Another great headline :)
Also acceptable would have been “Take off your pantis and jacket”.
The new cover is excellent..
I as a fellow woman use that exact body language when trying not to emit flatulence.
It’s uncanny.
Anne, I’d wager your flatulence is something to be inhaled deeply and embraced.
Ah jaysus …..duuuuuuude
Go get a time machine, go back to 1975 when drag queens were last shocking and stay there
#attentionseeker
Finally, someone who speaks my language.
I bet you guys also proclaim “so what he/she’s gay, what’s the big deal!?” loudly when sportstars come out.
Nope. If you want to look at any other comment ive ever made on this site you’ll see that I’m a fairly reasonable person.
But you exhibiting the same kind of attitude; you clearly don’t understand the impact he’s had.
Ah here GDO if he’s made that much of an impact then why hasn’t Graham had him on
Diddums, should all gays get back into the closet too? Is that where you would like them? Are the only acceptable gays the subversive, underground and dangerous ones? Moron
Sorry but I’m all Pantied out. Just how long can one dine out for on an unoriginal story that’s been told in a million other peoples lives. Let’s dig up Danny La Rue!
So… a story with a certain universality that might strike a chord with about a million other people? You actually make it sound relevant and contemporary and important.
You’re still expecting a drag queen to be shocking….. maybe ’tis yourself that’s stuck in a time warp :)
it was more the “#attentionseeker” I was agreeing with.
Oh no! Someone’s getting attention! And you don’t like it! Because of reasons!
its not that its getting attention, its that its been dragged out (pardon the pun)
You want to set limits on the amount of attention someone gets based on arbitrary criteria to do with your sense of how much they are entitled to?
And there was me thinking drag was a form of flamboyant comedy.. They’re supposed to be shocking?
He’s really cashing in on this thing.
what this commenter said.
Hate to see anyone do well, don’t we?
I really don’t, but the more he cashes in on it the weaker his campaign gets.
Oh, you’re worried about his campaign? Right. Okay so.
Simply stating a point. I don’t know why you’re getting so annoyed with me.
A Nation?
FFS
As a by the by can anyone tell us’ how many times Broadsheet ‘s prominent restauranteur slash publican superhero Jay Bourke gets a mention
Seems like Nigel’s been at the emotions jar again.
