The Lotto is a tax on peoples stupidity. It’s setup to be a rip off.
Deluded
The Lotto is a tax on desperation.
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘rip-off’; it’s supposed to return a profit.

Lots of poor people buy the Lotto where I live. The more intelligent people don’t buy tickets.
Frilly Keane
Well you have me well sussed
John
I’m unintelligent
And poor
( BTW this new draw regime is a scam, I’d run the swing in ℅s. But I’m not intelligent enough)
bingo
You must have loads in your little piggybank now, John?

What was that thing about not publicising and glamourising suicides again?
Peter Dempsey
Nothing glamorous about jumping in front of a train. RIP.
It should be published though. If suicide isn’t discussed or highlighted then it’s fair to assume that it doesn’t exist. And if it doesn’t exist then then suicide awareness doesn’t need any funding.
You can’t have it both ways.

There’s a difference between discussing suicide (as in n people kill themselves every year, of y demographic) and discussing suicides (as in individual cases). The first is a good thing. The second is potential problematic. Especially when reporting it like this – the ‘left her baby on the platform’ thing is glamorising the suicide in question. And I’m pretty sure the Samaritans guidelines say you shouldn’t say how people killed themselves – since this encourages copycat suicides.
Very poor from the Mail – even by their low standards.
Tubs’ making a public appeal to kiss ass on TV. At least Gay Byrne made an effort to ask questions when he was a younger man. What’d Tubs ask Enda anyway…. are you related to any one famous, I am? …have you met anyone famous, I have? ….do you get wet when you think of American presidents, I do? …no one kisses ass like me, whose ass do you kiss?
All the good ones fly south for winter
Jesus it’s like it happened in the Donnybrook in my noggin. Stop that.
You've got Daily Mail
Did the Irish Daily Mail just reveal the full name and medical details of an infant who has just lost his mother on their front page? Surely this is a huge breach of ethics and journalistic best practice at the very least and of the law at the most.
Journalism at its classiest.
Also, I’d hate to be remembered as a graduate of the university I studied in. She was 35. Surely she did more than go to Trinity. Rest in peace Yolanda.
