        +1 as well.

        to see it splashed all over the papers to draw in the punters makes me sick. Everyone get a good look.

      My money is on Nigel today.
      With rat-like cunning and a dash of sardonic wit he always keeps his cool the blighter.
      You’ll never see him telling someone to do one.
      Pardon my uncouthness.
      Anyway, if there’s sufficient demand today I might tell a few more hair-raising tales of derring-do involving Arthur, my leather gourd.
      The one involving a mixed sauna in Amsterdam will take your breath away.

        …you’re a bit early Big Lad…but… I must agree with Terence, look out for Nigel and whichever of Bodger’s proxies are sent into battle with him…

      2. TenPin Terry

        Tbh I’m a bit disappointed there’s been no clamour for more stories about the nefarious adventures of Arthur the leather gourd.
        Very disappointed.
        Even codpieces have feelings you know.

          …I lived in Netherlands for almost a year…one lesson I learned very quickly was that if you went to a sauna or bathhouse you were guaranteed to come out much dirtier than you went in…

      ah it’s more of a weekend handbag frenzie, the rest of the week is just a few backhanders and biatchslaps

        I was amazed how active the comments were over Easter. I got called into work a few times and popped onto the site to read the headlines while I was waiting on people and blammo, people with no eggs to eat, no families to annoy and no concept that a holiday is a time to get away from stressful things. It’s like point-scoring without a scoreboard… or a crowd… or a ball.

        1. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

          I went to my Polish neighbors Easter party and ate home made sausage and Russian salade, drank granny’s home brew and watched my wee wan enjoy her first real social experience, stuff her self with poppy seed cake and mill around with all the other kids yelling her new word Dobra DOBRA DOBRA…so she’s not shy after all.

      OMG!!! I can hardly believe it… where can I read more about this? The Gray Zone, you say? What’s that?

      Is it the fringe online publication led by Max B, described by the Index on Censorship as “a Kremlin-connected online outlet that pushes pro-Russian conspiracy theories and genocide denial”?

      Same one that denies the Uyghur genocide, spreads long since-debunked conspiracy theories pro-Assad line on Syria, pro-regime line Venezuela, pro-Putin on Russia, and pro-Hamas?

      The whole lot of you – ETwatty, Cavan, SOQ, Micko – utter gutter turds.

        1. andrew

          Bright morning, but looks a little chilly (although I admit I have yet to venture out). Thanks for asking. And how are you? (I mean, aside from the rampant paranoia and gnawing unease that the entire world is conspiring against your interests)

          1. SOQ

            Is your interest in an Irish website professional or are do you abuse people on other foreign sites too?

          2. andrew

            Ah gotcha – I know you little Putinistas don’t like people exposing your lies with actual facts and real information, but some news for you, – I can say what I like, where I like and to who I like. Yes, I’m English and, yes, this is an Irish website. So what? That’s what freedom looks like – and that’s what the brave men and women of Ukraine are defending. Just as well we are not in that hellhole you bizarrely seem to have some esteem for – and I say bizarrely because as an openly gay man, you wouldn’t be having too nice a time. Putin ain’t your friend, Sista.

          3. SOQ

            People who describe regular commentators as being “utter gutter turds” are always worthy of investigation- particularly if they are from a country involved in a very dirty war.

          4. andrew

            You, who called for a namedpublic servant to be publicly executed by hanging- and yes you did, another commenter linked the comment recently – now has the audacity to object to being called a “gutter turd”?

            This in itself reveals all anyone needs to know about you.

          5. SOQ

            Pretty sure there is a lot more to be revealed about you- despite the new name- one of many no doubt- you clearly have been around a while so, let’s start with why you have such a keen interest in an Irish website?

            Hi Andrew,
            Welcome to the parish.
            It’s a grand spot for teasing the Paddies, particularly those who take themselves a bit too seriously of which there are a few.
            Mostly they’re harmless, suffering from an inflated inferiority complex and crippling MOPE syndrome
            ( most oppressed people ever ).
            Anglophobia runs through their DNA like a stick of Blackpool Rock but generally it’s mild-mannered and considered something of a birthright on account of ‘ 800 years. ‘
            But there’s a couple of real beret boys here who hate the Brits – they’re generally chubby oiks who march like Private Godfrey at O’Walmington-on-sea over Easter then get smashed and sing rebel songs before being told to STFU by fellers trying to watch the English footy on telly.
            One Vowel™ – or Stephen Moran to give him his correct name – falls into that category. It burns away at his innards like a flesh-eating disease.
            Sadly but probably wisely there are few ladies on here but with the exception of one sad sleeveen with multiple usernames they’re all daycent enough beurs.
            If you can get her secret creamed horn recipe out of V you’re a better man than me although she flounces off that regularly you’ve got to strike while the iron is hot.
            Queenie, who you’ve met, is a quare one – not over his sexuality but his obsession that BS is just a local site for local people.
            He likes Vlad the cad but not Zelenskyy although I think that’s more of a homo-erotic thing – you know, how they fill out a tight t-shirt.
            Enjoy your time here.
            They’re simple folk but mostly friendly.
            And the good news is you’ve missed Papi.
            Now he really was a dose.
            Marvellous™
            ( PS: As one of Bodger’s paid stooges I presume you’ve negotiated the standard rate ? )

            SOQ’s interest in peoples nationalities and interests is starting to look like an out of date KGB joke from before the fall of the Soviet Union. Which is perfect really, delighted that he is that the Motherland is murdering civilians to expand its borders.

          8. SOQ

            Time for a London joke I think.

            “A man was standing in the London Zoo drinking beer and looking around. Suddenly, a girl falls into the enclosure with crocodiles. The man discards the can and jumps after the girl. He pulls the girl out and gives her to her sobbing mother. They begin to thank him: “Thank you, you acted like a real brave Englishman.” The man replied: “No, I’m Russian.”

            The next day, all English newspapers came out with the headline: “Drunken Russian tourist stole lunch from crocodile””

          9. SOQ

            Nope it is funny- at least to some people- because it arcuately describes how the British media works.

            Pretty certain that most people who comment to this site have an interest in where the fellow contributors are from- especially as there are a couple of the same characters under multiple user names with such rancorous attitudes.

            It is billed as an Irish site after all- Ireland being a country which is neutral in this proxy war.

          10. anti bot

            But soq you’re not Irish. you’re from the UK. You’re officially a migrant giving out about where other commentators live. By you’re logic as you are not Irish you shouldn’t be commenting. How we all cheer.

          11. paul

            I think it’s mostly just yourself wanting to check peoples papers, travel record, political leanings, dental history, genealogical history and blood type. Most other people here are just here for the chat.

            edit: if what anti bot says is true, you’ve more in common with Priti Patel than you’ve let on, SOQ. Pull the ladder up behind you.

          12. TenPin Terry

            Indeed.
            The top of this page says Everything.As it happens.
            Not as it happens in Royston Vasey.

        OMG – The Index on Censorship – trying to censor. Well well well. A fringe online website that uses a ‘this page can’t load google maps correctly’ add-on so you can’t search the map they want you to search for information on, say, Covid. Highly professional alright.

        What you’re quoting is a line from an opinion piece of one Nerma Jelacic who ‘argues revisionists are manipulating free speech defenders’
        https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2021/08/spinning-bomb-fighting-the-disinformation-war/

        Yes – ‘we don’t like censorship – unless we do it’

        1. andrew

          Psssst dummy – the Index on Censorship monitors censorship – it doesn’t actually attempt to censor. Like, jeez, kiddo – not the sharpest, are you? Was it a long night down on the docks?

          1. GiggidyGoo

            Psssst Dummier than Dummier. From its website – ‘What We Do’ section.

            ‘Index on Censorship is a nonprofit that campaigns for and defends free expression worldwide. We publish work by censored writers and artists, promote debate, and monitor threats to free speech.’

            and then this…………

            The section ‘Fighting the disinformation war’. And a quote from that section …

            ‘Ultimately, these people, instead of being challenged for their lies and the harm they cause to survivors and others, are being given the space to trickle their pseudoscientific revisionism into the mainstream. It is time to stop giving them a platform.’

            Do understand what the word ‘censorship’ means at all Terrapin Terry’s Twit Twin?

      2. Micko

        “ The whole lot of you – ETwatty, Cavan, SOQ, Micko – utter gutter turds.”

        Well I never…

        And here’s little old me staying out of such discussions and still being dragged into by little tantrum throwers.

        You should watch yer blood pressure andrew. It’s the silent killer you know ;-)

    Chair of the St Louis Federal reserve board Bullard, said he won’t rule out hiking rates by 0.75% at each meeting until rates get to to at least 3.5%. The last time we saw a 75bp Fed hike was November 1994 – the final blow in the Great Bond Massacre (I remember it well – lost my first wardrobe of shirts as a wet behind the ears bond guy) and the trigger for the Mexican Peso Crisis, which snowballed to the Asian Crisis of 1997-98, LTCM and the Russian Crisis of 1998. Before that, a 75bp hike was seen in February 1989 – and in October 1989 we got a stock market crash and a recession in 1990. Before that, we are in Paul Volcker’s Saturday night massacred (with a slew of 75bp hikes from January 1981 to July 1984) – and that changed the face of the US and world economy. That is your base of comparison. Added to that is now is the last shoe to fall in the global food crisis – watch rice prices which are the base / staple of a large percentage of the world’s populace . Lower planting due to the massive hikes in fertilizer prices are going to have a serious effect on yields and prices very soon. Emerging markets are in no fit state for a stronger $, higher $ interest rates and a global food inflation shock. Defaults, mas social unrest and coups beckon.

    UK Gov. report admits 19.2 million people in England have not had a single dose of a Covid-19 Vaccine, and another 12 million have refused a 2nd or 3rd Dose.

    For months the British public have been deceived with tales that there are just 5 million people in the United Kingdom who have refused to take up the offer of a Covid-19 vaccine. But this is a complete fabrication that has no doubt been used to make those who have refused the jab feel as if they are part of a minority.

    https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/04/18/19milllion-unvaccinated-31million-not-boosted-england/

    Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

    The boxer Amir Khan is reported to have been robbed at gunpoint of his £72,000 watch (it has 719 diamonds) by two thugs while walking in Leyton, East London, with his wife last night.
    Khan, the police and media have so far failed to identify the ethnic identity of the robbers.
    However I’m almost certain if they were white we would have been informed by now.
    Ethnic white-washing of serious crime is happening in London as well as Sligo.
