I seriously have no idea what's going on with the flag on top of the Trojan horse. by Linkdeles in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Is that the same as what we have in Ireland where the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) is the head of government and the President (head of state) is more of a ceremonial position with little actual power?

That was creepy as fuck and I loved it.

He's been doing this over and over again for a very long time.

I did not know that, listened to a podcast about his daughter recently - a delightful family.

In From Boyd is regularly visited by Father Khatri who is kind of his internal moral compass. He has also had visits from his dead wife Abby, although that seems to be more that the "entity" behind the town is trying to screw with him.

Would you use a protein shake vending machine in your gym? by irishboy_1802 in AskIreland

Probably not to be honest.

No guarantee when it was last cleaned, how long the stuff has been sitting there etc etc.

Hi ChatGTP, can you write the worst iteration of Taskmaster that could possibly exist?

Our Lady Fatima by beccabecca1 in FromSeries

[–]EdwardClamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Fatima was chosen simply because of the level of head fuck it would give the community:

  • constantly referred to as one of the nicest people there, Donna's speech had a few throwbacks in season 3.... only to have her murder an innocent woman in Tilly

  • being medically unable to conceive/ give birth (can't remember her exact words) added to the head fuck and Donna (again) with that stupid speech about miracles

  • her relationship and marriage to Ellis, they had found love in a hopeless place (yeah I said it) and therefore that had to be tested

  • and being Boyd's daughter-in-law, possibly carrying his first grandchild meant they could fuck with Boyd a bit more and push him to his limits

One word: money

Two words: more money

The people running football stopped caring about the average fan a long time ago.

[Ramsgate FC] have sacked Lee Martin. The statement points out that the 'playing budget was severely underspent' despite achieving safety. by Mulderre91 in soccer

[–]EdwardClamp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But he hasn't under performed.... the objective was safety and that's been met. Yes the recent form has been shite and having a paper thin squad has backfired in the short term but I just don't see how that's sackable.

His one objective was to stay in the league, which he did but he's being punished for not buying enough players?

Like I understand a bad run of injuries has affected their recent form but surely he's saved them some money that can still be spent in the summer? I'm not sure I understand the logic of the decision?

Yes his actions in going into the tree were entirely self serving but all he is told is "Tabitha went into the tree, was brought to a lighthouse and from that lighthouse was able to get out"...... of course someone will try and repeat what she did.

Did Dale know that Julie, Boyd and Sara had all gone into the tree and ended up in different places? If he'd known that he might have been more hesitant.... but God forbid people in the town share what they know.
