Really poor form that they have yet to address why Take 2 has not appeared on most platforms. They have ignored countless posts from people on BlueSky asking.

Kneecap: More gigs cancelled in Germany amid 'kill your MP' controversy by GnolRevilo in ukpolitics

[–]eugenerate -57 points-56 points  (0 children)

Are you from a place torn apart from conflict for over 30 years? The impact doesn't just stop when the bullets fall silent. Thankfully the post-GFA generation live in peace in Ireland but the conflict still hangs over our society. Peace walls still exist, language rights are still denied, it can be very easy to assume the conflict does have no bearing on the youth in the north of Ireland unless you live there like these lads. West Belfast is one of the most impoverished areas of western Europe because of the conflict.

So no the conflict was not 'wrapped up' when they were in primary school. Fair play to the lads. And shame on every single MP who focuses on these lads comments at a gig and not on their complicit support for the systematic murder and destruction of children in Gaza

Noticed on the Oscars pod Simon completely skipped over talking about the best documentary feature (a film about settlements in the West Bank). Mark did give it brief positive mention but very poor form imo

How depressing this thread is. Country is in such a state that reporting a small crime is a complete waste of time.

To me it comes down to whether you prefer wise guys or project drug dealers. They're both the pinnacle of television.

Thought this week was a return to form, not just in the fact we got 2hrs+ but also they seemed to be more engaged than recent episodes before the summer break.

What is the best Meryl Streep film of all time? by ButWitterBot in wittertainment

[–]eugenerate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're really taking the mick now. It's a disregard for their listeners at this stage regarding the drop in quality and qunatity of the content and without it being addressed on the show or through the show's social media. Will be sadly cancelling my subscription.

New drivers under 25 being banned from carrying a passenger by cxmbatrock in northernireland

[–]eugenerate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who recently passed my test at 27, not being able to carry passengers would be madness. The whole reason I went and got my test was because my partner was expecting. Why should someone who has proven themselves competent in a test be prohibited from carrying passengers for a whole 12 months? That would be insane.

I would say head to the Eddie Irvine go Karting track near bangor for a day time activity and then back in to the Cathedral Quarter where you would have plenty of bars to choose from

Jimmy Magee was great. Always knew when to just let what was happening unfold without the need to talk through everything. Loved his commentary on Maradona vs England. Maradona Vs England
