A place for frank exchanges of views on serious and at-times controversial topics
Comhrá, allagar agus plé as Gaeilge.
Please find the updated and streamlined forum charter below. Keep it lighthearted ; serious discussion is catered for elsewhere on the site. The mods utilise the 'Is this thread any craic' test (TM) to determine if the thread is lighthearted enough to stay in AH. So start threads with a view to them being a bit of craic.…
There are a lot of folk out there who are struggling a little more than they should be for various reasons. There is help out there for families who are worried about christmas, worried about the rent, or just worried about where their next meal is coming from. We would like to put together a list of resources for those in…
Here’s mine: The expansion of the EU should’ve stopped in 1995 with Austria, Sweden and Finland. The 2004 expansion with 10 new countries, (Czechia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Malta, Poland) the 2007 addition of Romania and Bulgaria and 2013 addition of Croatia should never have…
Seems a bit weird but the 23rd World Cup tournament kicks off next week when Mexico take on South Africa in Mexico City Thursday night, I'm largely apathetic because of all the bullsh1t surrounding it, that and the 48 teams making it very bloated and drawn out (5 f*cking weeks) nearly goes on as long as the Rugby WC. The…

Old thread here Mod Note - If your post relates to more serious things whether current affairs, politics or suchlike, please take it to the…
I just watched an advert on TV for Center Parcs Longford which opens in May of next year, in time for the summer. Center Parcs seem to be a modern version of the Butlins holiday camps of the past, or like Trabolgan on steroids. There are a number of them in Britain and a couple in Holland also. It seems very much aimed at…
So this year marks 25 years since Tesco agreed to purchase Quinnsworth and enter the Irish market. Over the following four years the Quinnsworth and Crazy Prices stores gradually transitioned into Tesco ones, and in 2001 Quinnsworth was history. But what if Tesco hadn't purchased them? Would we still have Quinnsworth/Crazy…
Like how long would your back hair get if you let it grow.
Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way. For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and…
