    Ross O’Carroll-Kelly is definitely a Pumper!

    I can think of a considerable number of politicians, developers and financiers who definitely fall within the category of GRUBBERS!……..And one who fancies himself as a nominee for President in 2018!!!

    Ah, Marine Le Pen = Kampfer

    I wonder does ‘The I**A Institute’ qualify as a ‘Clutch of Kampfers’, or the Kampferatti? Perhaps, even the Kampferbund!

    Please god the Alt-Righters don’t make any in roads here or else we’ll all being learning the words of Schwarzbraun ist die Haselnuss…..

    Now that we’ve New Slang, can we get rid of Old Slang? Basically, Literally and Incredibly gotta go.

    Man on the radio was raving about ‘his incredible honesty’ – am oxymoron surely?

    And can we stop starting sentences with ‘So…’ and ‘I mean…’

      If starting sentences with “So” was good enough for Enid Blyton then it’s good enough for you buddy.

      Of it’s time and much edited now but fine, if you want to be like that.

      If starting sentences with “So” was good enough for F. Scott Fitzgerland it’s good enough for you buddy.

          He literally did. Last line of the Great Gatsby – “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”

          His editor tried to make him change it to “Thus” but I believe he used the Enid Blyton defence.

            In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
            “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

    Turgenev…..only if you are a Gaelic language supremacist, and the answer is no, you Kampfer!

      Now Louis, don’t be baiting the Gaelgeoirs, we know they look after their own.
      Especially the Pumpers who send their kids to Colaiste Eoin….

      As for as any attempt by the Gaelgeoirs to call the Dublin Metro ‘Thios’….well they can shove it up their ‘Thoin’

        1. Louis Lefronde

          Dublin had Trams before they were closed down in 40’s and 50’s. Then just over 50 years later they reappear only to be given a wanky name ‘Luas’….. which no doubt someone was paid an awful lot of money for?

          So no, Dublin does not need a ‘Thìos’ or any of that makey-up Gaelic naff.

          At least Dubsub has a bit humour about it, and Dubliners (real ones) have an amazing sense of humour and a gift for wordplay.

    Snowflaker needs to be added for all the angst ridden outraged Hillary supporters.
