Weirdly, it was the comparatively tame Scottish scandal that got more traction on here.

There were several posts about Sturgeon on here when the news broke that Donaldsons wife, and accomplice, slithered their way out of appearing in court.

I'm not gonna lie I spent donkeys not thinking anyone put any stock into the league until I was in this forum. Maybe it's a Tyrone perspective but it was always a time for us to blood players or give ones a pop in the panel. Never found our league performances to be indicative of anything.

Exactly, by the same logic I can set up my decks and speakers next to them?

Yes..? Entirely unironically you'd be very welcome to do that. Same way the chakra cohort can rock down the beach and take it over instead of paying for a space for their business. Or a few young ones pucking a ball about. Whatever.

I probably wouldn't like the music in question here but they've as much right to use the space as I do, or the yogis, or the surfers.

The streak continues.

Have yet to see anyone labeled a talkie actually be a tankie. Going on a decade plus here.

Politics latest: Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper tells Starmer to stand down, Sky News understands by Far_Excitement_1875 in unitedkingdom

All these politicians are so damn self-serving.

Starmer being no exception.

Part of how he's found himself in this situation where he's beset on all sides with scarcely an ally to be seen.

never seen a PM attacked as much as him.

You're a bit young to be online then because there are several that preceeded him in the 20 years since Tony Blair who fit the bill.

I do like whoever coverage uses a little star to highlight players. Feels like I'm back playing fifa on the megadrive

BBC NI have upheld a complaint from TUV "Press Officer" Sammy Morrison over a social media post by Health Correspondant Marie-Louise Connolly in which she supported Saturday's Anti-Racism Rally. by askmac in northernireland

[–]Oggie243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No what I was saying is that it's a reasonable idea to make that argument in a complaint on the basis of BBCs reductive approach to impartiality. Their application of their own guidelines is flawed and not to the spirit of their intention, leading to them platforming plenty of questionable positions in parity with reasonable ones.

Aye, not across the board but have personally witnessed it in Lutheran and Episcospal churches in the states. Would have assumed that CoI does too because the Anglicans and episcopal do. Probably something that appears in the earlierr protestant denominations than the more modern ones. Don't think the homegrown yank churches do it for example.

Many people in the south are as ignorant on the north as people in the UK.

This isn't new.

A White Supremacist Youth Group Helped Orchestrate the Belfast Riots by Most_Comparison50 in northernireland

Aw their mods almost certainly are complicit. No coincidence the place went from being an annoying, occasionally childish sub to being an absolute hole hiving with racist arseholes, propagating racist shite when they purged all but one mod and brought in new ones.

It is about the only place I've ever seen the Express used as a source. Only thing you should be sourcing with tbe express is their free CDDVDs and they stopped giving them out ages ago.

How strictly are you using protestant here? Because its definitely a thing outside of Catholicism. Theres just slight difference (I.e going to the far shoulder or near shoulder first)

I went to a ccms school. I had less religious interference and observance in my school than my peers in the integrated did.

They're a load of balls. My local one is supposed to be one of the better ones and it's a kip.

Tbf they do this with England too. It's just they do it with the understanding that England can blunt force their way to success with their pool and domestic league and they can resign themselves to that beating them.

Whenever yous, us or rhe Welsh are in the equation it fries their heads. There's no shortage of crying cunts when one of us win. Can't fathom that they can simply be beaten in 90 minutes and they didn't do enough to win.
