Genuine question, if McTominay was called Tominho or Tomcao would he be seen as so dispensable?

Early days yet in the local election counts, but so far with 136 of some 2,600 results declared, the Conservatives have lost 26 of 47 seats they held last time.

Uruguay who should know better, too.

I'm not actually surprised. I met a fella working in a bar in Malta a few years ago who was born and raised in Bulgaria, but who had the most convincing Cork accent - in both English and Irish - I've ever heard from anyone not from the county. He'd worked in Cork for many years, and learned Irish in Kerry. Best part of our conversation, though, was when I asked him a question about being Bulgarian. He said "Stall de ball, boy. I yoooosed to be Bulgarian, but sure not dis lasht couple of years", and produced an Irish passport card from his wallet.

A wonderfully dismissive summation of a whole nation's history into a little wooden timepiece!! Shame on you 😮 Mind you they did give us the Reformation but not sure they were having referendums on that!

Rain has been a big issue here too or at least for me it has been. A few days ago I had just left the house on a 25 minute journey when it began to rain. The highway is maybe a couple of miles away and by the time I get there it's blinding. All I get is a very brief glimpse of what's ahead on the wiper upsweep but i'm pretty much largely driving blind. And what can you do? Can't stop, if I stop chances are something is going to immediately run into me, it was hazardous. It was also coming down so heavily the road itself was becoming a river and I could feel myself beginning to wriggle on it but too worried about what's behind me to even slow down. I put on the hazard lights and the fog lamp, Americans for some reason typically don't use their hazard lights. Or Oklahomans don't.

So you would campaign and agitate for another referendum, convince more folk of the merits and eventually win But you would bringing the majority along with you

Night night but that Swizz thing is very interesting I’ll leave you with this though “ the cuckoo clock “ 😎

No I actually quite like the idea of referendums about various subjects and then they are legally binding , however sometimes ref results can be very different from normal legislative processes . i read some time ago that if there was a ref vote on gay marriage it would lose or anything to do with capital punishment , a majority would vote for its return and various other issues .. so be careful what you wish for

Yes people are an issue!! Pesky creatures with their opinions and rights 😄

I experienced this one first hand in 1987. 27 dead, 300 odd injured. Scary stuff. I think it rained every day for a month afterwards. Not sure that is linked to a tornado or not but it did. I even blew train tanker cars off the tracks in the rail yard. Can you imagine?? Having trouble copying and pasting link into post🤷‍♂️

TBF JJJ you post a lot of pics of gay icons to illustrate points or to poke fun at others Can't complain when the tables are turned 😜

Another issue is people , the yes I mean would not be happy with a ref every 5 years and def 10 years . They would agitate for one every year ! More than likely

Read the Robin McAlpine articles Shouldn't we at least be open to trying something different from the moribund and decaying edifices of what passes for democracy in the shitshow of a UK?

Leave Judy out of this . Shes out of bounds . It’s my red line ! 😎.

Very interesting . however

You want a Nationalised energy generation company to provide free energy to the poorest off in Scottish society, yet baulk at other progressive policies like freezing council tax and income tax/benefit changes that redistribute money to the poorest 10%. That doesn't add up. At all.

Ukraine the best of what I've heard from among the front runners, followed by the Netherlands (kind of). I'll miss the show anyway, for the first time in many years.
