well this worked well...

Favorite:

1. Vettel winning 3 races for Ferrari, Kvyat outscoring Ricciardo, Alonso having disastrous season.

Least favorite things:

1. Europe being flooded with a million undocumented muslims, some of whom are IS terrorists using false Syrian documentation, as confirmed by the Paris attack investigations and subsequent arrests in Brussels.

2. Merkel, Sutherland et al.

3. Panti Bliss. Nothing against LGTB, the marriage referendum etc, but I don't understand what a man dressing up as a woman and wearing make up to look like a very ugly woman is about. Perhaps someone can explain?

Yeah, I dropped a massive yule log there this morning, must have lost at least a pound. I was very proud and tempted to take a picture for posterity. Could have used the picture for a very special 2016 christmas card.

Favourite moment : Sitting behind the goal when Shane long smashed it into the German net. The roar in the stadium and the absolute mayhem that followed. Brilliant.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Even if that is true, doesn't mean we should have let a million of them into the continent of Europe without any screening or controls.

There wasn't when the flood gates were opened by Merkel. A mass of immigrants were allowed cross multiple borders without ANY controls, registrations or screening.

Tens of thousands of these people disappeared without a trace.

Sure, but when she opened Germanys borders it caused a massive knock on effect for the transit countries as the migrants all sought to get to Germany. None wanted to stay in Greece or Eastern European countries along the route to Germany.

Plus it didn't stop her berating the rest of Europe for not being so gullible.

That's your opinion. Many of these people weren't even from Syria. Many of the Syrian refugees decided not to stay in Turkey or other countries closer to Syria. Many have no plans to ever return to Syria. They are economic migrants. Strange how they all want to to go 'wealthy' western europe and don't want to stay in Greece, Macedonia etc.

Ken.

Mod- Folks this is a lighthearted fun thread. If you want to discuss politics go to the politics forum. Thank you.

Bulbous Salutation

Person: Enda Kenny (History will look very kindly on this man. For economic and societal reasons. What a pragmatist. The people went to the elections booths in 2011 and voted exactly for what they wanted.

Movie: Inside Out (Childhood, depression, happiness. Wonderful and lovely).

Day: Feb 6th (Admitted stuff).

Song: Fake Plastic Trees.

Footballer: Mesüt Özil (Not an Arsenal supporter, but unbelievable player. Lukkau for Everton).

Boxer: Michael Conlan (You can't say Mayweather).

Gadget: Wandering around a bookshop and picking up a great book. Jesus, books are great. They smell lovely; you can read them in the bath; they do something that no other form of art can.

TV Program: Fargo. Season One and Two are two great stories. I'm one of those sorts that regrets having watched them as they are so good. Enjoy!

Place: Coole Park in Galway.

Sex Symbol: Aongus

Mister Vain
