"the only snake left in Ireland" sounds like it should be a children's book that tries to teach kids to be understanding and not judge people for being different, but accidentally has a messed up race-existentialist message because animals are poo poo metaphors for people.

"The only snake left in Ireland" doesn't work because Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael exist.

i am very amused that it's a knockoff banshee, a character which was a paper thin irish stereotype (when last i cared about comics) who also has nearly the same color scheme (black green then yellow or lime).

Give it a few years and she'll lose her powers and get ice powers or something. I wonder if she has to sing rather than just scream like Black Carney and banshee. Also their enemies are already being created.

Ours got taken out last year and the local college wanted to take it off our hands for teaching. They're getting very rare these days but there are apparently enough of them out there heating old people's houses badly and probably dangerously they need to teach how to fix them still.

No gently caress that, everywhere shall be London. We will turn every single one of Nandy's precious towns into mini-Londons, with paradropped high-density housing, ethnic minorities, and irritatingly overpriced pubs. The first targets - those lovely parasitic eels between the A406 and M25 that slipstream off us without even so much as an Italian/Korean fusion vegan restaurant in sight.

The only exceptions will be Liverpool, Glasgow, and the bits of Manchester everyone whinges about.

Seriously, we could do with more med-high density housing, but I'm not sure which minority groups you could pick that anyone would notice.

I think I saw a comic about this, but the place got renamed to Megacity One?

(I have to say I do like that on market days there's eg a Nigerian restaurant and two different Nigerian food vans within 10 minutes' walk of my house. Milton, Cambridge was, um, not like that)

Irish. 2011 census said your Irish population was just 0.13%, we've got more Irish people than you've got White British. Also you're really short on Bangladeshi people.

No, I said make everywhere London. Exeter will be renamed West Ealing, Aberdeen will be Walthamstow-on-sea, the Isle of Wight will be the Isle of More Dogs. Travelcards will go to zone 700, HS2 will be incorporated into the Overground as the Really North London Line, and Ryanair will finally not be lying about where their London flights land.

Start painting rainbow stripes on the lamp posts in communities at risk of flooding. You could say it's for gay pride or beautification, but really the idea is that drivers can then go "oh poo poo it's up to the yellow stripe, it must be deep"

It's weird because the word doesn't refer to the Irish travellers but for some reason that council estate is full of people like my family and it makes me wonder if the council made that mistake or what?
