    I love sport both as a participant and spectator. I have attended soccer matches and rugby matches abroad including two World Cups and had an absolute ball.

    However, I would rather strap my nuts to the mains and press the 'on' switch than hang around with the 'fun-loving' Irish at the next Euros. The amount of muppets who think getting drunk to the point of incontinence is great craic and think you are the moron for NOT joining in, is totally beyond my comprehension and tolerance. (Dey all luviss dey do, g'wannn...... haf a vew shots, ya borin' tosser ya).

    Shoes off for the boys in green is the greatest irish song of all time and fills me with pride and drives me to tears when i hear it, is there a version by Luke kelly?

    Saw a friend asking people to fund his plane ticket home. Is that what the site is for? I figured it would be for far more noble pursuits.

    Tom Cruise is a decent actor. I can't find one unwatchable film in his collection. A few 4/10s, yes, but nothing seriously bad.

    It's the digital version of the person going round the office/pub/locality looking for you to sponsor them to go climb a mountain/do charity work in Africa.

    That Arianna's Focus video is brilliant. I've watched it many times on repeat on multiple occasions and totally overawed by it. I somehow don't think I'll be sharing this in real life...

    Recycling rubbish is a complete wast of time! I have a thousand better things to be doing than BLOODY recycling!

    Meh I'm lazy too, but I don't know how recycling takes any more effort than not recycling? I just have a double-bin in my kitchen, recyclables go in one bin, non-recyclables go in the other. It works out cheaper to recycle when possible as I don't need to buy a bin tag. It is absolutely zero extra effort. :confused:

    Plus, it's kind of crap not to recycle when you can, it really is. I'm no eco-warrior, but it's the normal and decent thing to do.

    So I guess really I should be thanking your post, as it really does fit the thread remit as an Unpopular Opinion.

    (I won't be doing that, though!)

    I don't give a shhit that some people cheat the dole. I really don't. I think it's better that we have that system, and just accept there will always be a certain amount of people who take the piss. Those people usually live sad enough lives, and the majority of people would rather be working.

    The extent to which a lot people let themselves be wound up by this is ridiculously unhealthy.

    Saoirse Ronan is a pain in the neck. She hams up the Oirishness when abroad, and has an ethereal, old-beyond-her-years manner that is very off-putting.

    I accept that this may be a very unpopular opinion, she seems to be the nations darling at the moment.

    Genius? I have heard the guy talk. I respectfully disagree. He throws a good punch, no question but I can't see CERN or the like offering him work when his UFC days are done though.

    Do you rinse your recycling ? Having to clean every carton of soup, petit filou pot, tin of cat food is the biggest dose ever, I do it but I resent it.

    I'm a gambler but I think people who lose their money and go into debt through gambling are imbeciles.

    You see all those people who make loads of money and don't need to work because they are so good at gambling....oh yeah, right...

    The phrases 'toughen up' and 'man up' etc. are not such bad phrases after all.

    I don't care if a reporter on Sky News claimed Saoirse Ronan as one of their own. I don't care if they want to class Michael Fassbender as British. Both of who for argument's sake were born outside of Ireland. Sure don't we do the same when we allow someone play on our national football team? Especially when they are not aware of any Irish connections.
    At least when they claim Saoirse and Michael it's based on how successful they are, we take them because they aren't good enough for the England team. Rant over

    The difference is the football players "opt" to play for the nationality of the team, whereas it's the British Press imposing the nationality on the actor... only when successful of course

    Either way, we are staking a claim whether they approve of that or not. My point is that I don't care if they do, I don't think it warrants headline articles and threats on the journalist who said it (although I believe the threats came after he said that it should be taken as a compliment!)

    David Bowie is over-rated.

    In fact I will go as far to say that there is something sad and kind of creepy about him keeping up his muscial act and persona at 69 years of age.

    It's sad and creepy for a musician to make music because they're a certain age?

    It doesn't deserve threats. On the other hand journalists should know where their country begins and ends.

    Creepy? Do you know the meaning of the word?
