    piglet…

    never getting that out of my head

    … but not quite as bad as David Cameron and his pig-linked activities…

            Damn, you’ve spoiled me limerick:

            To our betters our hats we must doff
            And resist the temptation to scoff.
            But with this soubriquet
            It’s tempting to say
            There were plenty of snouts in the trough.

            That’s good Paulus here’s my effort

            In Summer our most overpaid sillies
            Go to soirées with jinnets and fillies
            Accept invites to nights
            Out, getting buzzed up and tight,
            Then forgetting were they there with Willies…

      I heard him on tv and I think I heard him say Zappone was given a diplomatic passport and she is not working for our government which is what’s needed to be given one

      So seen as she has not the job she should not be holding one
      Simple Simon really is in the doo doo

      And I wonder what exactly is Zappone in receipt of

    Anyone else find it odd that both screengrabs show phones with exactly the same 4G coverage bars, and exactly the same power level? So exactly the same that when overlaid in photoshop there is literally no difference, whatsoever, down to the micro-millimetre … not that this shower would sloppily doctor evidence or anything.

    1. Django O'Reilly

      Also interesting that both parties would have specifically turned off the battery power percentage figure, which appears on all iphone screens. Not something I have ever seen anyone do, funny that both parties went into their settings to turn that feature off, isn’t it? Highly improbable that both parties would have made this highly unusual settings adjustment. Again though, not that this shower have shown themselves to be capable of rich, fudgy dishonesty, or anything like that.

        1. Django O'Reilly

          Still, with both on ‘4G’, rather than wi-fi, and no alarm set on either phone, precisely the same power level, on both phones, that’s quite the coiniky-dink, huh?

      1. Clampers Outside

        No Bluetooth on either… by the look of it.
        If not, then no covid app being operated then? No contact tracing for them, just for thee?

    2. Rosette of Sirius

      Nothing odd about it…. Photoshop powers all those faux bullpoop text based click-baity posts on Reddit, for example…

      1. Django O'Reilly

        So you don’t find it unsettling that their ‘evidence’ has been manipulated/is not legit?

        1. Rosette of Sirius

          That’s what I’m getting at. Clumsy is not the word for it. It’s not odd in so far as a bizarre coincidence. It’s blatantly obvious what was done.

    3. GiggidyGoo

      Varadkar killing two birds with the one stone here. Maybe by means of photoshop.
      a) Putting it out there that he checked the if the gathering was legal. (Checked it with Zappone LOL)
      b) Hanging Coveney our to dry.

      As an aside. Was Frances Fitz at the Merrion do?

      1. Slave to the Rhythm

        You’d get more sense from a demented mountain goat standing on one leg, pus and skitter dribbling out of his chin

        1. goldenbrown

          ah now, I don’t like Varadker or Sailor boy myself but there’s no need to resort to describing them like that, you can do better

          1. Bitnboxy

            @GiggidyGums – I am always on your mind! Love it. Every site needs a mad auld toothless fella.

            You’ll do!

            Guffaw!

          1. Bitnboxy

            @mymateGiggz: I note you were on the day shift today at d’aul port. Awwh. Bit of respite from the nasty night shifts. Still, you couldn’t wait to clock off and get that GiggidyGut in front of a screen to bash out all of the day’s invective, eh?

            Boxy notices you auld creatúr GiggidyGums.

            Still, whatever gets you through.

            Bless.

        It reads as too deliberate. . Coveney surely did not need to cross the Tees on the title of appointment .. circumstance heavy in its rhetoric .. and the even more calibrated aspect of this act is the fact that it has been provided at all… as if ppl in power ever consider that their position is on the line … more likely they recognised the power their position holds is weakening. .. That’s the most plausible version of why a former and presumably future taoseach wud screen grab private conversation with a fellow leader for subsequent public scrutiny… jokes

    4. Hector Rameriz

      Would it not show the battery and 4G details at time of screen grab (W after the other) and not at time messages sent and received?

      Or am I missing something?

      1. Micko

        Yeah. Totally.

        They should all show around the same time. The time the screenshot was taken.

        Unless he took one screenshot at 7pm , then another at 11am etc.

        Which wouldn’t make any sense. You’d do them all in one go surely.

        But as SttR said above. Who cares really.

        It’s not like they wouldn’t lie their bottys off. They’re corrupt ta fupp

      THIS

      I always find it very interesting how everyone tends to just buy screengrabs like these as gospel

      they have no forensic value whatsoever

      a spare iphone and a few mins editing for whatever pretty pictures you want

      1. goldenbrown

        actually…
        the more I look at those screengrabs…the more they look like something from an iphone emulator e.g. corellium

    6. John

      I’m not sure why its necessary to explain this, but all the screenshots are from the same phone. i.e. Leos phone.
      And they look like they are taken 12 mins apart so it is not exactly unusual that they will show the same status bar.
      Come on are you paying attention at all?

  3. Slave to the Rhythm

    What am I looking at here? I honestly could not give two fupps about this story but tell me anyway
