BREXIT....British Exit from the EU. If May, or Cameron before her, gave a dogs bollix about thon folk with the Ulster-Scots brogue in Norn Iron it would have been called UKEXIT. Albion has codded yez and Leo and the Rainbow/Diversity heads are going to have to fork out your compo for annexation. In other words, the Muppets paying tax here.......now where did I see that happen in 2008?

The fiscal compact treaty.

Saw it on Russia Today comrade Erm.
BBC, ITV and SKY were busy telling me that the latest tattoo women are getting now is a "cuckold" tattoo on their nether regions. It seems all women who've been cheated on, OR cheated on him, are being encouraged to let the next chap know when he goes to chew the man in the boat out of it.

To be fair, we didn't do a great job during our short period of independence. Our culture dictates that we need overlords. We're better suited to circumventing regulation than devising/enforcing it.

Can't argue there. The Normans didn't fare too well over here though it seems. The gargling thingy they introduced to the Celts backfired on them ultimately. Poor auld Huguenots got some comeuppance too. Thing is now, we seem to have lost the cohort of males necessary to fight...18-35 yr olds have either left or are gay.

No, my reign as moderator ceased when the old site died. Now I'm just an ordinary member on here. Not sure if that's a promotion or demotion from admin!
-
I was going to ask Vikiz and/or Watty if they'd admin the forum but, to be honest, there's only been a handful of admin actions since relaunch. Anybody is free to point out anything they believe ought to be moderated.
-
Moderation in everything...including moderation itself.

No such posts have been reported but inference, by it's nature, is subjective.
-
What about the tarmac laying slurs
-
Again, none reported but defining them as slurs is an inference on your part and, as such, subjective.

Briefly off topic, you can report any post. If you want a post removed it will be if it's open to interpretation as offensive provided it's not a contribution based on verifiable fact. While a bit of winding up here and there is inevitable the forum is not intended to be used to cause offence to anybody regardless of who the poster is i.e. admin decisions will generally favour someone who takes offence even if it relates to something I post.

Well of course it does, that’s the way it should be.
I’ve offered my services to assist you but you do sweet fuck all so have loads of time to “admin” the site lol

I have previous admin experience in a now defunct superior taxi site where I applied a strict administration policy of deleting or amending nothing as we are all mature adults .

Well now, have a gander at what the under 25's think man...............
The Future of Ireland survey reveals some of the sources of this sense of change. Looking ahead to 2025:
•Just over half think it likely that just a minority of Irish people will be practicing Roman Catholics
•Only one in four thinks it likely that Irish culture and identity will be stronger than it is now
•Just one in ten expects a united Ireland in ten years time
•38% expect there to be more Irish citizens speaking Polish than speak the Irish language
•The same percentage don’t expect this
•8% expect Ireland will have its first Muslim president
•56% expect us to have our first female Taoiseach by then.
Change Drivers
Demographics will also drive change over the next ten years.
•One in four expects Ireland’s population to decline due to a falling birth rate
•Two in four don’t.
•Over 50% expect the statutory retirement age to have risen to 75
•21% think it likely most of those who emigrated during the recession will return by 2025
•59% would be very happy to see such an outcome.
Population drives household formation and housing demand. One of the most significant shifts in the past ten years has been the emergence of a substantial private rented sector.
•47% expect most people will rent rather than buy their homes by 2025,
•Only 13% would be happy with such an outcome.
•Only 22% agree that it would be better if more Irish people rented than bought their houses in future.
•37% disagree.
•Among under 25s, just 19% agree renting rather than buying would be better.

In short, we're all wannabe Atheists with ever-expanding waistlines who drink too much. As WB Yeats said of ABBA cover acts....A terrible beauty is Bjorn.
