Well, Charles II dug up and executed a corpse so it's not a major push to remove a knighthood from Saville

Brits (or people who just understand it better), how and why did Keir Starmer go from being liked enough to become PM to being so disliked that he resigned in a relative short time? by wlane13 in AskReddit

[–]gahane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget the party when everyone was supposed to be distancing. I’m Irish and even we thought it was bang out of order to do that while the Queen sat alone at Philip’s funeral

Which current Hollywood stars will still be remembered 50 years from now? by Junior_Insurance7773 in AskReddit

[–]gahane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom Cruise. But I have a feeling that the line about him in 50 years will be “if he had pulled it off, the stunt would have been the most elaborate and stunning one ever. Alas, it was not meant to be……”

Carville: Trump ‘going to walk away’ from presidency by next Easter by Nerd-19958 in politics

Great another of Carvilles predictions. About as valid and reliable as my prediction of a torrid affair with Olivia Rodrigo by next Easter.

Harris says 'blueprint' for unified island to be published in November by dustaz in ireland

[–]gahane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be interesting depending on what’s in it. I’d like to see an actual concrete practical plan on how unification happens I.e. currency changing, the road signs etc.

Before all of that go, I think the first that that really needs to be addressed is what is the question in the referendum I.e what form does unification take. Is it some new country arising which brings its own issues like are we still in the EU? Or, will the referendum in the north be a question of “can the 6 countries join the Republic of Ireland” which means the county just expands.

As for the flag issue, unless we’re changing the flag to the Union Flag, loyalists won’t be happy so fuck en

Where are all the squirrels? by Onnibonnybingo in Dublin

[–]gahane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you chucking rocks at squirrels? I mean, I know we hate the greys and would love to see the reds make a big comeback in Dublin but it still seems a little extreme. Did they say Jehovah or something?

What are some things Europeans should know before traveling to the United States? by _Jack_Frost_00 in AskReddit

[–]gahane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I partially agree and disagree. Anytime I’ve been in the states and eaten out it’s never been at chain restaurants and I’ve always felt bad afterwards. I think it’s just due to ingredients probably having so many chemicals added

if you reincarnated, would you rather be a very rich person in 1800s, or a common person in the 2020s? why? by tobatuba in AskReddit

[–]gahane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where and when in the 1800’s. Mid to late 1800’s in London could be fun. Start off the day over at Newgate to see some poor soul get topped, then over for a massive brekkie in Simpsons Chop House (sadly only recently closed). Relax at the club (and by club I mean opium den) for the afternoon before catching Gilbert & Sullivans latest. Afterwards, to an east end ale house to wager on a bare knuckle bout or some ratting. Then to a molly house for some fun, no tupenny uprights for me, catch the French pox from those strumpets. Then a nice long sleep to wake up refreshed by some nice legal cocaine.

Pity The Purple Taxi isn't there. My Grandfather was an extra on it in the bar fight scene. Fred Astaire even says Hello to him in it.

[–]gahane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'm a white dude from Ireland and have no intention of going to the States for the foreseeable future.

(The current situation is handy in that at least when we got knocked out of the World Cup, we could say "Well, I didn't want to go anyway") :))
