Title: Cork colleges 'Christmas Day' 2021.
Post by: Belker on November 19, 2021, 09:32:26 am
It was the Cork colleges 'Christmas day' festivities in Cork yesterday (Thurs).
It was a totally Bat-$hit day fer all bar staff, Taxi drivers, Gardai, Etc.. FROM 10AM IN THE MORNING !!

There is a video of the queue at the Harp bar at 10am in the morning in the hands of a few members and I hope one of them can post it fer me because I don't know how to post video's on here.

As a 12-year veteran of the night time Taxi game I thought that I had seen it all !
I was wrong ! Last night was worse than anything that I ever witnessed before !!

Its all a Load of Bollox .Dirty Leo trying to win back the middle class voters who are tempted to vote SF by blaming the 5% unvaxinated for the mess .Bertie climbed out of his cave to remind the Republican wing of FF that they can hate the Prods by voting FF and not SF .The Covid battle is lost now its just trying to duck responsibility by politicians for the ness .When the PUP stopped the game changed .Young people who expected jobs or college have been brilliant just doing what they were told but now they see the bolloxology with no tunnel to shine a light at the end of .Still astonished that there hasent been major violent protests anywhere in Europe .
