Simon Coveney - wanting to inspire other countries by taking in too many Syrians. Hungary has sent their bleedin' army to stop them arriving and this fool thinks Ireland is setting an example.

Hungary is a very right wing country-not something we should aspire to. And it is not a competition on who can help the most syrians...it is just doing what we can to help people.
Simply helping people who are trying to escape unimaginable horror under ISIS.

Thanks for explaining this. I thought we were being foolish by taking in a higher quota than expected. Thank goodness we're not like that horrible Hungary. I'm off now to buy a house in Balbriggan because I know once they arrive nearby at the centre properties in the area will jump in value. I'm also doing a sponsored walk to raise money to help build a mosque in the area. Thanks to Simon, it's all about inspiring other countries to do the same (except that nasty Hungary).

Yeah, lets not help people in dire need in case our house prices are effected. Lets leave them to be raped and murdered instead. FFS.

Where in ireland have we ever experienced what is happening to the Yazidi people for example?
Where in ireland are towns of 1000 plus people getting wiped off the map?
Their residents shot, raped and burried alive en masse. No family left alone.
Babies shot in front of their mothers before they themselves get raped.

Educate youself and come back to us. Actually dont, I cant be reading these vile posts of yours.

Don't then. Even if we take in 10 times our quota of these people it won't inspire any other European country to do the same. Simon Coveney is a bad politician for believing this.

looksee

People who end posts (not just on Boards) with 'hope this helps'.

Dunno why it annoys me, nobody said these trivial things had to make sense.

KERSPLAT!

I hardly think the humanitarian crisis that is Syrian refugees is a trivial thing so move on please, plenty of other forums to discuss the issue

looksee

Oh yes, another one, the dramatically increasing apostrophe plague. Not just the greengrocer's apostrophe (apple's) but the notion that anywhere there is an n next to a t it needs an apostrophe. Don't or can't is fine, but the apostrophe in redundan't is really redundant.

So is the last letter in James's (hospital).

selous

Yeah, why is it
St James's gate
St James's park
St James's hospital etc
When he is a singular person St James, like St Stephen...
but seems to become St Stephensssss day.

Because his name is James, not Jame

My TA is when people say 'slaw' instead of coleslaw. It's just wrong!

He is still St James, so an apostrophe after the s' does, not a second s.

Seen a busy roundabout today, an undertaker has his business advertised on it, is he pre-empting something?

All the Lidl and Aldi ads get on my tits.

They are worse than the bloody Trivago ones. Every ad break.

The mad thing is both shops are dearer than Supervalu own brand stuff going by the Lidl flyer that came through the door last week!

I really thought I'd seen the last of the fruit flies/gnats.
Hadn't seen one in well over two weeks.

I opened a bottle of white wine this evening; poured a glass....AND TWO GNATS appeared out of nowhere!
Bugger OFF! :mad:

Daddy long legs have arrived. Sign that it's getting closer to Winter now.

God I hate them, they are HUGE and are everywhere.

Anyone else see them around?

I was on a date once and got an emergency call from my sister who had seen a mouse in her apartment.
I hate mice but ended up bringing my date to my sisters so I could sort the problem out.
My sister and date ended up standing on the table drinking wine while I had my trousers tucked in my socks hunting the mouse and his family....

This is not even trivial. When a driver comes right up to me with their headlights on, I can't see what's in front of me, which is.... kind of horrifically dangerous.

When I moved into my first house I saw a mouse in the bedroom one night.My dad and my brother came over with our cat and put the cat into the bedroom to find the mouse.Gave it about 15mins and went into check as he wasnt making any noise to find he had fecked off out the window.:mad:
Im not one bit afraid of spiders but even the thought of a rat or a mouse(even a picture) and Im in bits.

Mice and rats give me the fear. My skin is crawling thinking about them.
