If you had to explain the ‘Irish Examiner’ to a foreigner, where would you begin?
WU
It’s a newspaper

OK.
Thanks for your contribution.
-Anybody else?
It’s the ‘new‘ part of newspaper I have difficulty with.
Charger Salmons
Every time I read one of your posts I can’t help wondering which village is short of an idiot.
By the usual timing of your appearances on here I’d say it’s somewhere in a far and distant land,probably very remote and with a fair amount of in-breeding.
eoin hurley
considering its leading with climate change and one of the English papers is leading with black eyed ghost girl – I think I know which paper I would go for.

It’s all gone ‘lowest-common-denominator’ these days.
The word ‘=-Whoosh…isn’t used enough.

A good start might be to have a lie down on one of the nice couches? They look very keenly priced and it’s fantastic that there’s an EZ payment plan available.
Later, a group session with other news junkies where you can discuss the day’s events in a safe, non-judgemental manner where everyone’s opinion is respected.
For some poor sods, the Cork perspective of New Ireland is just too much – they’ll never be well enough to be let out again.
In my case, I’d sooner a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq
Are you from Cork?
-Why am I even asking? Of course you are.
That ‘frontal lobotomy’, eh ‘joke’ for want of a better word…didn’t that get old about 15yrs ago?
I think it did.
I could be wrong.
Bobby
I don’t get it. Is your online comedy “bit” that your arguing with yourself?
sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq
The trouble with some of the people around here is that they believe the things that aren’t happening sooner than the things they could actually see if they opened their eyes a little bit wider.
ALL politicians are corrupt to some extent, in one direction or another.
I’m willing to cast my vote on those who have something to prove sooner than those who’ve already shown their cards and continue to bluff and reinvent themselves.
Fresh blood.
A revolution…
Is it really too much to ask?
sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq
TLDR:
We need an Irish Government, working for Ireland, not a different shade of EU lackeys doing what they’re told to do.
That’s not a government at all, but it’s presented to us as the only ‘safe’ choice.
-That’s a bunch of gombeens, parochial parasites, the majority of whom you’ll ever only meet when they attend your funeral….to say how great you were.
Grow up.
Ditch your complacency.
Think.
Vote for revolution.
Smashmouth
How should I go about voting for a revolution?
meadowlark
Start a revolutionary party and vote for yourself. It should snowball from there.
Neilo
And where will you be during this revolution, tovarisch? For better rather than worse, complacency works: ask any employer.

Q. When is a party not a party?
A. When it becomes an exclusive club, and spends more time and effort justifying it’s existence before it’s objectives.
I’m only jesting.
Look at FG. -No, look at them.
Now look at FF.
Look at the rest of them.
I mean, seriously…you have to laugh.
sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq
This country needs a massive kick in it’s backside.
They only question is who’s gonna be wearing the boot, and who’s going to be bending over?
Be the bigger boot, not the littler ass.
Revolution.
It sounds drastic. It’s really just inevitable.
Sooner rather than later, yeah?
sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq
I realise I’m getting ahead of meself here, but I’m imagining a plausible Brexit while we have a a FF/SF coalition over here.
‘Oireachtas Report’ would be hilarious.
What am I saying?
FF would NEVER go into coalition with SF… just to gain power…not this year anyway…
…how many days are left now?
Charley
Easter Sunday is March 27 so Kenny will try to still be Taoiseach for that and the Patrick’s day trip to the US so the Friday after Easter would look like a possible date.
When told he’d have to give up the JD & Coke, in true Lemmy spirit he switched to vodka and orange juice…. “I like orange juice better so coca cola can fupp off”
G’wan Lemmy! RIP and thanks for some of the best head bangin choons of my yoof :)
And now John Bradbury from The Specials.
What a poxy day.

And don’t forget Robbo who passed through the Motorhead ranks – so wonderful in his day with Lizzy. Remember the cigarette? Not so well preserved, though.

I’d love an FG/FF coalition as it would finally make room for real choice.
Bring on the SocDems!
Agree. It’s been like a game of donkey with only two players.

I nominate “sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq” for the “Late night/Early morning stream of consciousness award”. Can I get a second?
Can I vote?
If I do vote, does my vote count?
I think she’s very sexy and deserves ALL THE AWARDS.
…but I still can’t decide.
You have to choose an as*hole or nothing.
Ultimately, we’re back to square one in this Escher-esque conundrum that you presented as a solution.
You’re not helping.
Hell yes! I’ve a secret crush
I’ll third that :)

Rumoured to drink a bottle of Jack a day. Shock horror, surely more than that?
