It seems that DD finds making comparisons easier than you do.
But then he trips himself up, because he's not too bright.

If only Ireland were still in the warm bosom of the United Kingdom, like the Scots, they'd be getting so many more vaccines... All those poor Irish pensioners, watching on - unprotected - as Britain vaccinates all and sundry. The perils of nationalism eh, lads? And if the UK had the same Covid deat...

Nobody voted purely because of the bus figure Indeed, this seems to be a common myth in Ireland though.

So you don't enjoy that "remoaners" etc are annoyed? It's a bit strange that we are all on here pretending it's all bants but really showing signs of growing malaise In all honesty, I had hoped that Remainers might concede that its not actually as bad as they had feared. Its not perfect, certainly ...

So the Catholic lads who gave Winnie a hiding are now the victims? :lol: :lol: Oh course not silly.

From an entirely personal point of view, and slag me for it if you want, but I do take some delight from the Remainer British middle classes and their angst about Brexit for example "Cressida's skiing lessons are going to cost me a fortune now" But that's just me. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Don't forg...

So I was making it up Is that your position? I was a scared teenager, I'm sorry if I didnt have my wits about me to have a witty Crocodile Dundee type retort to knock them off their guard.

It’s true. From what I can gather from speaking to an nordie in-law, most blokes in Belfast at least experienced encounters likes Winne’s growing up. They learned to have their wits about them. That’s how life was. If he said he was chased by the B-Specials as a young lad i’d have had more sympathy...

I spent a great deal of my adolescence in Fermanagh.
I will be buried there.
I love it, its one of the our island's beautiful places
I wish it was part of one Ireland.

My point, Winnie, is that there remains that cohort of entrenched right wing Protestants whose history swerves between 1690 and Burntollet. Having resumed my life in a substantially, bigotry free country, I see no valid reason why the people in free Ireland would want to subsume an economic and soc...

How quaint Do we get to sew our own stars on? What if they will mirror how the RC behaved in NI and neither moved on and made the country work or move to the 'South', but instead blew the shite out of it? In fairness we won't be denying you jobs or civil rights like you did to the catholics in NI. ...

In my UI the prods will either move on and make the country work or move to the "mainland". It will be a free country not an autocracy.

Funny thing is Right now only 43% want a UI, 47% want to remain and 10% undecided The loyalists breaking support for GFA would bring more catholics around to a UI. All the loyalists have to do is nothing and the union is safe for a few years. Best of both worlds Opinion polls on a UI don't and won'...

Perhaps Stockdale is taking greater privacy, a la heaslip, over his medical pronouncements. Maybe he’s off to France? Maybe he’s got covid? Maybe he’s just been dropped?

When I sold my wholesale computer (HP and IBM) company, I retired to Quinta Do Lago in The Algarve for a few years. My experience was that the Portuguese welcomed Irish visitors openly.

I extend an open apology to all English people on this thread, which is specifically about excessive drinking by Brits, who I may have offended by my comments.
That is to those who have not Irishfied it by trying to demean Irish people.

I'm not sure the Trump mob would have been inclined to do what they did had they not witnessed mob behaviour in countless cities for months leading up to the elections.

There is no doubt that the UK is being very successful at Covid annihilation. They have annihilated 1447 people for every 1 million of their population. (World rank 5th) Ireland lags badly behind at just 590 per million. - 47th. I wonder which country has more need of the vaccine? Better hang on to ...

That will be self declared. The only thing that proves is that we're more truthful when asked the question.
