Ah, eating your young doesn't have to just be for starters. With growing rates of obesity, some of them would suffice as a main course.

Yeah but an apartment? The whole point of moving out of a city is to get a bit more space inside and outside your house.

No, it's so that you can spend half your life sitting in a car on your way to and from work.

An immodest proposition indeed! Well played.

....and another feckin' car flag bites the dust. Although a strange change in the M.O. as the Garda investigative unit noted, this time the flag was removed from from the plastic support rather than just snapped off and I was able to replace it with one that had been snapped off and dumped around the corner previously (not sure that this is a rant )

Yea but mindless vandalism, now there's a quality rant if you're looking for one.

An offence contrary to Section 2 of the Criminal Damage Act 1991. Fine not exceeding €1269.74 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months in the District Court. Time to go get 'em.

Sorry but all this talk of the Garda is giving rise to another rant. Alan Shatter, wtf is he doing still being a minister? Surely there is no other country in the world except perhaps Italy that he could have survived this many f%~k ups.

Matt Cooper interviewing two Irish actors based in England. 20min interview and Matt wants to know if they've been racially abused for 10mins.

Seems to be a south county Dublin thing.

Alas, very much on this side of the Liffey too. I saw it coming 18 months ago when people started outbidding each other rapidly in certain areas with sale prices winding up way over the asking. I wish I bought at that point in many ways but I refused to become involved in a bidding war and paying an artificial price; those houses are starting at about €80k more now. Now it's gone into bubble territory with 3 bedroom house in decent (not great) areas going for over €400k after starting the bidding at €320k. It's all completely artificial due to supply and demand. People do not want to sell their houses due to still being in significant equity and nobody wants to relinquish their tracker mortgage either. A large percentage of sales I've seen are either rentals going to the market or executor sales.

The homophobic bigot John Waters on why it's terrible that people on the street call him for the homophobic bigot that he is, while he simultaneously equates homosexuality with incest and describes the medical condition of depression as an "invention" and a "cop-out"

Only thing worse than a hate-monger is a hate-monger who's a complete gutless wimp who runs to his lawyer at the first sign of people hating him back!

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Read that earlier and my mind was honestly blown by the stupidity.

I saw him recently and had to resist the urge to say something. I'm not exactly a fan of people being abused in the street but I don't blame those who did.

The homophobic bigot John Waters

I went to one of his talks once (didn't know who he was, would have avoided it like the plague if I had). At one stage my mate offered me a chewing gum and said "I'm just sorry they're not suicide pills." For me that pretty much sums up most of what he has to say.

why didn't you just leave? was there free biscuits?

[BlueArmyOriginal]

What Hook is to the rugby pages, this guy is to the rest of the paper. A controversialist spouting b*%&!cks and rubbish shrouded in pretentiousness in order to get a rise out of people. Waters, Vincent Browne, Kevin Myers, they're all the same. Deep down I bet you he's loving the attention.

This did give me some hope for the future tho, maybe add this particular paragraph to the rave thread?

Mr Waters said he gave serious consideration to quitting journalism and is still considering leaving Ireland to work elsewhere
