Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
I was under the impression that that has already happened. I've read a suggestion that the Republic of Ireland should leave the EU and join the UK internal market if they care about the border issue so much.

Can't remember who suggested that though.

It's a pretty normal tory position, because tories are gibbering lunatics.

Is badbody a parody or something? I can't tell any more?

Irexit came up a few times here but it was the usual lunatics and was pretty much ignored because it is dumb as poo poo.

Yes. And personally about as funny to me as that Dublin lad who makes YouTube videos slagging off hipsters using decade old avocado-toast cliches

Is the toilet in M&S in Mary St. a cruising spot they wanted to bust or were they there specifically because he's been known to throw his willy about in there or were they literally just in plain clothes in a random toilet hoping their come ons would ensnare a bicurious traveller??

Apparently the one year per day registration was never anything but a suggestion to try to prevent everyone in each 5 year batch trying to register on the first morning and possibly crashing the portal.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
I registered today and have an appointment for Saturday for the first jab. Guess it depends where you are but I'm jazzed it was so quick.

Was in and out in no time flat, the next vaccination will be in 28 days (depending on doses). A bunch of people from Dublin are trying Midlands pharmacies as the wait is supposed to be crazy.

Town is shite without ate'in' or drinkin'. I think a lot of people are starting to realise that now, and people in power (including people running the shops and retails) are realising it too. City planners have been talking about "modern" cities, where people who live nearby can enjoy themselves and actually "live," for a while. A few—definitely Cork—Irish cities have been planning long term on that basis. But all this (lockdown/covid) is exposing the fact that if you can't pop into a place that's a haven from the poo poo outside, if you can't go for a meal in a place that's busy but busy in its own way, not busy with cars driving past and people gawking at you, town is actually poo poo.

Sure, there's Penney's, but they only rotate their stock so often, and they don't make them in my size. Yes, there's TK Maxx, but much like Irish modernism you can only expose yourself to that level of disorder every so often, and there's only so much they have. And, from a personal perspective, I can't go into town just to go to the tea shop as my commercial outlet that justifies the city. Town is poo poo, because it's pure commercialism and a lot of pandering on the basis of commercialism; now, with what's happening, these places can't do their tricks to win over those not entirely convinced by commercialism/consumerism. (I don't count (at least not the honest kind of) ate'in' and drinkin' as consumerism. Ate'in' and drinkin' are culture and heritage.)

As predicted Bacik looks like she's won comfortably - wouldn't expect that as a sign of a labour fight back as she's always been very high profile and has relatively proven credentials on social issues.

Greens got a battering though, sure some people will put that down to the lack of a strong personal vote for their candidate considering the GE candidate was Ryan
