When I had a job that including cleaning loos, my general observation was that the women's was generally cleaner but when it was bad it was horrifically bad. The men maintained a generally constant mid-level grottiness, mostly involving a remarkable ability to get piss anywhere except where it was supposed to go. Every few weeks the ladies would seemingly decide to fling every single bodily fluid and emission and every sort of sanitary product around one furious vortex, then the place would be pristine for the next 6-8 weeks.

I've heard exactly the same, but my theory is each responsible party might be a tiny bit more responsible if folks of another gender are present.

I used to clean toilets for work. Women can be just as, if not even more, disgusting than the men. Men just piss on the floor. Women left the place looking like a bomb site and some of them just pissed in their seats and left tissues on it to mop it up.

Not defending Musk specifically, but the general American understanding of Irish politics is something like that the evil British unconstitutionally banned guns. So Michael Collins heroically crossed the Liffey, formed the IRA, and won the battle of Derry Town. There is just an annoying remnant to the North still under British occupation that they will get around to liberating any day now. This view is not entirely wrong, or at least not much wronger than a similarly flippant summary of the British position. Point is, when someone outside the UK talks about the IRA, that is the group they mean. The modern, ‘provisional’ IRA didn’t even get to officially inherit their name.

That's the kind of small put of date viewing of Angelo-Irish history that would make sense to an American who might have some tangential connection to Ireland. Like it's wrong on many levels, but bears some connection to history. No, that Tweet from Musk is far worse when you understand the background to it. It's a response to a tweet from Ian Miles Cheong, a man who lives in a basement in Malaysia and makes his money constantly talking about politics from other countries in the world. Countries he has and will never visit. Anyway, IMC made a post about "how Ireland objected to the British coming over and stealing their land....yet they let people from Africa come in and live there. So obviously, they are hypocrites." This is racist and stupid on so many levels. It gets worse when Musk makes the above post which essentially says that the IRA have lost their touch because they have gone woke and aren't knee capping asylum seekers? As was said earlier by Guavanaut, it's a flash bang. It's a phrase so stupid that it stuns you to think about it.

I knew she was the wife of Charlie Elphicke but I looked her up and saw: - Wife of Charlie Elphicke who got convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to two years - Supported his appeal against the sentence - "Found to have breached their code of conduct by the Commons Select Committee on Standards for attempting to influence senior judges in November 2020 in her husband's sentencing appeal after his conviction for sexual assault" - Sold the story of her divorce to The Sun for £25k Seems like a principled lady.

I don't think he's even put in enough thought about which specific 'IRA model' that means, just violent action. It's stochastic terrorism by way of being incredibly stupid and malicious (and racist).

I don't know whose farts you've been huffing other than Tony Blair's, but what is this pish? You really think the first thing people outside of Britain think of when they think of the IRA is the Irish War of Independence rather than the provos & their campaign that only ended within living memory? Going to call completely bollocks on that one. The idea that even the Plastic Paddies in Boston have any concept of Irish history is laughable. Mind you, we have copied the Irish in one regard, where our country is captured by two centre right parties who basically agree on everything except who gets the spoils. Truly neoliberalism wins again, at the expense of everyone. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 12:38 on May 8, 2024 |

It's always easiest and most accurate to assume musk is saying something dumb and racist and dumber than your initial cold reading of what he says, because his brain is rotted cottage cheese on a diet of weird Twitter nazi stupidity, and he was never smart to begin with.

Honest anyway, IMHO Annoyingly, though (to me) is that the bottom half of the article is quotes by Galloway which could be read as quotes by Monty if you're not careful. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/monty-panesar-george-galloway-general-election-workers-party-b2541470.html quote:

Not sure about your own experience but I've lived in the USA and Canada and this is not my experience in the slightest. People aren't well educated on the topic of Ireland but when they talk about the IRA they are referring to the contemporary groups or the organization as it existed from the Troubles to the GFA. I recall shocking a few people when I told them the IRA existed before the 1970s.

At the behest of a single quantum impulse the Tory government went from centre-ground sensibles to chaos merchants and Starmer's Labour went from relaunching boats to centre ground sensibles.

We had to use the women’s toilets at the office for a day once due to a plumbing issue and they were eye-openingly horrendous. In the gents the worst we’d ever see is the occasional splashed seat without a courtesy wipe, while the women had apparently been going hard as gently caress in theirs to the point they had blood and snot wiped on the walls.
