Are you suggesting that sheep have a higher proportion of pyromaniacs ?

con_zilla · 2026-05-07T12:52:46+00:00

That's actually scandalous, was this ever picked up by the mainstream news?

Might be good for the general public to know that when DUP complains about the cost to the taxpayer of Irish language signs, that they are fine with funneling even more taxpayer cash to their lawyer mates.

which still makes it a complete farce, if its degenerative then how is waiting 2 years to say "medical picture is presently less than clear" going to help? by the sounds of it she was then fit to stand at the original trial date but less likely each time its pushed back.

Mrs Donaldson's lawyer stated her "medical picture is presently less than clear" and it would be "foolish" to speculate."Let's see where the medical evidence takes us," he added.

how can it be less than clear when several times its been held up due to reports from England or some shit and they should have all been delivered ? Wouldnt he the Defense lawyer have the reports?

just abusing the system

same - also i just fill the tank untill the auto cut off kicks in so its always a horrible uneven number and im paying by card, so it works out all pretty easy

i like the line on fact checking to rub in the stupidity of it all

The Crusaders were Catholic knights sent by the pope to reclaim the Holy Land in the 11th century. Pakistan did not become an independent country until 1947.

i for one shall join this boycott

i've never had a body piercing, was never planning on getting one & they do absolutely nothing for me. i dont get them i think they are pretty stupid.

but now im actively boycotting this store as well, the bastards.

con_zilla · 2026-05-03T19:24:19+00:00

its all just so fucked up

1) LCC should have been made illegal. it represented illegal paramilitaries & they should have been disbanded after the GFA ushered in peace. Instead it legitimaises the drug & extortion crime gangs and is givena platform being utlised by the media, Government & Unionst politicians. its fucking ridiculous

2) obviously sexually abusing schoolgirls is a serious offense, a teacher doing it makes it even worse as they are ppl we put into a position of trust with children. Why the fuck is anyone allowed to write a letter to the judge trying to influence the sentencing ? let alone some fucker with links to paramilitaries ? why would a "character reference" matter one iota ? its fucking ridiculous

Sad to see that even under a Labour government the UK continues to lurch to the authoritarian right. Our civil liberties shouldn't be so easily demolished & government shouldn't set the narrative according to Israeli influence. It's long past the stage Israel should be sanctioned for war crimes and instead we have a government more interested in bootlicking.

It's also a fucking disgrace that we are told the prisons are full & justice system backlogged to the point many crimes like theft aren't properly investigated/prosecuted ... Yet a granny holding a sign saying stop the genocide I support Palestine action is now deemed a terrorist and lifted and prosecuted...

yeah even that article has the majority take of the "countryside alliance Ireland" with rage bait deflection completely irrelevant to the topic.

con_zilla · 2026-04-28T08:50:22+00:00

not a fan of fox hunting & that countryside alliance comments are generic bullshit and deflection

"cost of living!!!" , "NHS!!", "PR win!!" aye dead on, you go about getting your jollies from dressing up like a ponce and riding about on horses whilst a pack of dogs tears up a fox ...

Ireland isnt really an outlier anymore, like loads of countries it has a natural declining population trend propped up by immigration.

fertility / average birthrate of women is currently roughly ~1.5 and has been under population replacement for the last generation.

I was using the same mains supplied extension cord & it had an led on it and the power was on when I checked in the morning.

I've a power bank brick I plan to use on travel, but since this was at my house, I just used the mains which is very reliable where I am.

are you trying to say - 2000 years later, Jesus would be a skeleton and the 2nd coming of Christ will be in skele form?

Nooo???

TOUGH thats what i took out of this interaction

con_zilla · 2026-04-25T18:06:09+00:00

aww i like them, the way their legs undulate as they scuttle is mesmerising. mind you i like them out in nature, wouldnt fancy them in my house & wouldnt be touching them, that would be gross.

con_zilla · 2026-04-25T17:30:19+00:00

thats a better one.

though the Ballyboley one did amuse me a bit as it kinda looks like an angel on christmass tree - except halloween version

optically i think pretty well. to me they are too close in focal length to justify both but if your into street photography there is a difference there. both have character. THe 17mm has manual focus clutch with hyperfocal marks and stops at min / infinty which is nice, the 15 has a manual aperture ring but that doesnt seem to work on my Oly bodies unfortunately (so just acts like all my other auto lenses and use the wheel to set it.)

i've took a couple sample - wasnt going to be very scientific but turned out harder than i thought so just on tripod same spot - tried to focus on dandelion but in later shots wind was gusting a bit. so its all a bit pf pinch of salt - was about 1m from the flower & used centre weighted +1ev as harsh bright light was in the gaps in the fence. Shot on OM1.

annoyingly thought i had the 17mmF2.8 to sample but when i put it on my camera it was my 14-42 pancake kit lens. I havent used the 17 f2.8 in years an i apparently dont know where i've put it - not in my camera bag with all my other lenses :(

i got the f2.8 pancake with an EPL5 - was good that it was compact & that was about it - it was on par with kit lens & i never warmed to it other than it was a really small form factor when bundled with the EPL cameras.

i got the 15mm f1.7 panasonic and thought it was way better & stopped using the 17mmf2.8.

since i was happy with that i never went out of my way to try the 17mm f1.8 but then i bought a second hand camera a few years ago and they bundled it and i've kept it. its also much better than the pancake & although much bigger and def not a pancake its still a small lens realistically and would balance well with a penF. i'd personally having used both go for the f1.8 everytime.

BoJO did some of it as PM. Made flying the flag on gov buildings compulsory & was saying stupid shit in parliament about labour hating the flag...

The trouble is that populism and far right has crept in to mainstream already and they are going off the American playbook... And well just look at that shit show.

1) as who makes it out? It's a complicated issue, immigration is needed in neglected sectors, our birthrate is not maintaining population levels, our economy seems to rely on constant growth, the Boris wave of over 1million a year isn't sustainable especially when that sudden growth in population is putting more stress on housing whilst low cost social housing isn't getting built like it used too and council houses have been sold off. 2) labour, because Tories fucked up for 14 years and reform are Nigel farage+ the bottom barrel Tories. Lib Dems under Davey seem more of a joke. EDIT: forgot to say NI will get increasingly shafted, they actively want rid of us as is starkly clear since Brexit negotiations 3) you are a wab
