All happening miles from here Ian, where all the mindless scum that kept 'The Troubles' fuelled with their bigotry and hatred live. Still indoctrinating their children and grandchildren to hate 'The Others' and will do as long as religion in all it's forms exists! We live next door to the biggest gospel hall in the area, full of good living rich bastards who live to make money by scratching each others backs while shagging each others wives and children usually. Made it clear when we moved in that they're wasting their time putting tracts through my door to try and convert me from devil worship!

Trouble is it crops up everywhere, why cover your mug and commit mindless damage, if you want to make a point send a petition in to wankminster or stormont. It's wankers who just want to cause as much hassle as they can and totally miss the point!

Remember the question being brought up by someone who'd never been in the services in an MDP messroom who said. What's the point of rubber bullets, you can't kill anybody with them can you? All the old NI vets burst out laughing, so he took the huff and buggered off out!

They have the sense of a rocking horse! 🙄

I remember Paddy Smyth senior who was a QM in the Squadron , who came out to the Range when we were firing inergas. Daft twat said I can't see why that can't be fired from the shoulder! His saving grace was he didn't attempt it. Don't bollocks about with ballasite cartridges unless you want to end up looking like the Robinsons Golly!

He does indeed Jack, as I've said before politics have even crept into sport mate, and the Yanks are the biggest offenders of this. With you can't be referee here, because you come from somewhere obnoxious to us.

Smacks of Hitlers German Olympics before the war, Jesse Owens,you can't win this race because your black.

What a world of utter stupidity we now reside in!

Football deffo not what it used to be, too much money, clubs owned by ultra rich foreigners meaning success is bought rather than won on a level playing field. Club managers who can hardly speak English telling bongo bongo land players how to play. Refs a waste of space with some thick kunt miles away deciding decisions. Now a completely different sport to the one I loved to play and watch, now like the rest of the world, completely fukked up! 🤬

What is it with all the clubs having foreign managers? Don't our retiring players want to go on to management positions, or aren't they thought to be as good as some Italian bloke? I take no interest in football, or any other sport for that matter these days, and will see not one second of the World Cup, spending my time more usefully in the man cave making stuff like the 5' long BBQ I turned out yesterday from a stainless steel hot water cylinder taken out of the attic a few weeks ago. Waste not want not, even though TLO argues that we don't need another BBQ. I argue that she doesn't need that handbag or shoes and she shuts up!
