    The worm is turning with the UK electorate. It’s finally dawning on them that Boris is a liar and that they are worse off because of Brexit.
    Doesn’t bother my industry though as we are making a fortune out of it.
    New set of sparkling new teeth for my GiggidyGums on the way. There’s gold in them there toothies. Ha haaaaaa.

      No empty shelves in supermarkets or Brexit-related shortages of food and drink over Christmas in the UK as clowns like you have been promising all year though.
      Pubs are still open normal hours as well.
      And no nanny state minimum pricing alcohol restrictions coming into force in Engerland either.
      And I’m currently watching a full house at the Arsenal v Man City game on TV.
      Yeah,you’re right.Lots of pissed off people in the UK …

      1. GiggidyGoo

        Mid December. Empty supermarket shelves. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/59648858
        At least some were smart enough to buy their frozen turkeys from frozen food retailer, Iceland in October – 400% more sales than normal.

        Nothing like a bit of one-upmanship eh? “Our pubs are open as normal” Heh heh heh. Take that Europe. Heh heh heh.

        Two UK countries have brought in MUP. already, and it’ll come to the Bean Savages soon.

        No wonder you’re watching, from afar, Charger, like many of your other mateys. Plenty of restrictions. https://www.premierleague dot com/news/2207987

        Almost 60% of your mateys now don’t trust Boris and say he’s a liar. (The intelligent people knew this already)

        Never mind, 11966062 LTD. will be there for your next trip home.

      2. GiggidyGoo

        https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/59648858 Empty shelves, Mid December. Iceland reported a 400% increase in the sales of Turkeys – in October. (Some clever people left obviously)

        And your other two references – Alcohol and footie. Top of the list of importance in the Charger household. No surprises there.

        But

        Two UK countries have introduced MUP. England will follow.
        Plenty of restrictions on attendance at footie.
        Plenty of footie cancelled.

        The fact though, regardless of alcohol and footie, is that almost 60% now realise Johnston is a liar. And what do we hear now? – theTory media are tipping Liz Truss as next Tory leader? Ah lads. Though I have to say that some of the best comedy does originate in England.

        Never mind Charger, 11966062 LTD. will still take care of your grease needs.

        In the meantime, Liz trying for a trade deal with India and offering easier Visa issuing (especially for truck drivers, no doubt)

        Unlike you I was in the UK for all of December and not trying to keep warm in my hi-viz jacket in a security cabin at Dublin Port on the night shift.
        Everything was open.
        Supermarket shelves were groaning with fresh produce.
        Free antigen tests were handed out like sweets.
        The only shortage was news about Ireland cowering under the rule of King Tony and that’s because no-one in the UK cares a jot about what goes on here.
        When I told my pals I was going back to pubs that shut at 8pm they howled with laughter and roared even more when they learned that after the longest and severest lockdown in Europe Ireland’s infection rate per population is now higher than the UK’s.
        Yup,lots of pissed-off people alright.

        1. GiggidyGoo

          Still the Walter Mitty then Charger.
          The fact though, regardless of alcohol and footie, and make believe pals, is that almost 60% now realise Johnston is a liar. And placing their Truss in Liz to try get back in the good books.
          The only laughing stock is yourself Charger, and you’re trying to drag your countrymen down to your level.
          The high viz is quite cosy, especially when profit is four times more per load than last year. Put that in your bed sit and sleep on it. The MUP will hit you hard.

          1. TenPin Terry

            I bet those 60% know how to spell the Prime Minister’s name correctly.
            Perhaps you should spend those long, lonely nights in your Portakabin reading more widely rather than playing Candy Crush on your ‘phone ?

          2. GiggidyGoo

            Lame retort. Ha haaaa. I’d better lock the door as the spelling please will be knocking soon.

    3. GiggidyGoo

      Interestingly, that report on flurona informs us as regards Corona vs. flu – “ The disease is the same disease; they’re viral and cause difficulty breathing since both attack the upper respiratory tract,” he added.

        1. hmmm

          Looks more like anti-pedo graffiti…

          But of course the fake news acolytes will never let the actual facts interfere with their “2 minutes of Hate”.

          1. Fearganainm

            What bizarre thought process led you to that conclusion? How on earth do you see a ‘pedo’ connection of any kind in the graffiti?

            On second thoughts, don’t answer that.

      Climate doesn’t burn

      Nor does it cause the environment to burn.

      Especially not in winter in a place where the ground temperature doesn’t get past 10C.

      Shrill Harder.

      Cos all Facts are WaYcIsT!!

      1. Nigel

        ‘Nor does it cause the environment to burn.’

        It’s 2022 and this fool thinks climactic effects can’t create the conditions for wildfires.

        ‘Especially not in winter in a place where the ground temperature doesn’t get past 10C.’

        Who you gonna believe, a climate denier or your lyin’ eyes?

        ‘Cos all Facts are WaYcIsT!!’

        Your understanding of facts, climate change and racism are all at about the same level, I see.

  15. No more Maura

    Bodger and Nick Kelly, I appreciate you need holidays like everyone out here but tens of thousands of people have died from the vaccine/booster since you have been offline and I cant find any Irish publication online or elsewhere reporting on them. God speed, this is not a drill.
    Also happy new year!

          ‘not sure that’s a standard requirement for the QAmen level conspirasists Daisy

          Lasted notice, that Tom Hanks has been “exxecuted”
          Yep “exxecuted”
          Comes with “no verifiable evidence – you just have to take my word for it”

          So you know
          Don’t look up
          Sorta stuff Daisy

        Best response I’ve seen in ages, V.

        Go on then, name them – as V says,

      1. TenPin Terry

        I will when an ethnic minority woman gets anywhere near a lever of power in this country.
        They’d struggle to get anywhere near being served in a GAA clubhouse at the moment.
        Shall we give it another decade or two ?

        1. Daisy Chainsaw

          Pale, male, stale entitlement doesn’t cut it anymore.

          It must boil your piddle that an ethnic man… and a gay ethnic man has led and will lead this country. We’re not as backward as perfidious Albion in their obsession with race and class.

          1. TenPin Terry

            The Perfidious Albion that currently has more ethnic minority government ministers than any other country in Europe.
            The Dail has more flat cap-wearers than ethnic minorities represented.

      @TenTinTerry
      And welcome to 2022 where the congenitally unbright with no friends start the year in the same way they ended the previous one.

      I’ve read these “Who to watch in XXXX” articles for decades. I am glad we no longer have to only read the surnames to know why they’re mentioned.

      About 60% of those shown are white women, the majority of whom are likely CIS or gay, all of whom appear to be “abled”. Not a single trans person. Not a single “disabled” person.

      But hey, the Irish Times does retro too:

      “Fr David Vard, aka the youngest priest in Ireland, is “excited” about the future of the Catholic church.”

      Now Happy New Year, Terry, and FUPP OFF.

    “US Pilots sue Biden Administration. The jab is NOT an approved vaccine or approved in any way. Pilots should never be coerced or forced to take something that is not approved and goes against all documentation owned by these airlines. No one should be forced to take any kind of “medication” or forced health agenda.”
