    Things heating up in NYC - No trouble yet but large protests starting to assemble across the us - wonder will this fight go ahead if sh1t hits the fan!!

    I don't think it'll get too out of hand. Most liberal democrats upset right now are females, LGBT, Latinos and Immigrants. Not the typical demographic to wreck the place.

    If Trump lost, on the other hand, with all his gun-nut supporters.... different kettle of fish altogether.

    Had to laugh at Conor looking up at the skyscraper. Remember having that exact moment myself in the same spot. Makes ya dizzy!

    Hes very good with his time with the fans. I love the way at the end of the 'mobbed by fans' macklife he comes out and in the middle of the scrum asks the reporter where is Nicaragua, genuinely wanting to know, thats typical of him!.

    When i wrote my essay that day about the disabled guy in SBG meeting him, that was the type of joy he had on his face. I wasn't too far behind. It's hard to work out why he has that effect on people but i think it's definitely related to giving people hope. I think, in general, people like to see someone put in a lot of effort and achieve success. I certainly felt that way about the O' Donovans in the rowing too.

    Conor presented with his ESPY here. If only Megan was single.....

    yeah I agree, it's lovely to see. even with all the hyperbole, brash colourful language, swagger and ostentatious jewlery, he's still so much more likable than that BONO twat!

    Best episode by far (so far). Dillon getting stuck into Joanna lol. Also some amount of love from the boys and girls of the NYPD. Also sneakily spotted Andrew McGahon rocking a SUIT!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL




    This is actually mad. He's like the Pope or someone. The Police and all running across the roads to grab photos while on duty. Insane!

    More power to him. :cool:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    He has some patience for it, I know it comes with the success and money but how many photos can you take a day really is a credit to him.

    it would drive me insane!

    It's sometimes easy to forget how big a star he is. I remember years ago being on Grafton Street 4 days before Xmas and i spotted Michael Buble skulking around and got a quick picture. Then a huge group of carol singers (girls) spotted him and the whole street went mental chasing him up and down for photos, autographs and the like.

    It's that level of fame now and continues to grow. He's got people like Drake and Kanye West and Ronaldo messaging HIM first because they're fans. I read an article somewhere a while back saying for athletes and celebrities, the UFC is their sport. It's the "In" thing right now and Conor is top of the pile.

    Great to see Andrew McGahon with a slick haircut, wearing nice clothes and happy. He deserves it.

    It's so surreal to see Andrew in the background now and part of the entourage. Only a few weeks ago he was serving me whiskeys in a bar back home! :pac:

    Ah he won't forget his roots. These events are maybe 3 or 4 times a year, other than that i'm sure he'll be wandering around County Louth and Monaghan as usual. I do wonder whether he will switch gyms now for his jiujitsu? It might make more sense to train in SBG Concorde. Pain in the balls commute but the Mac Life gig might make it handier to work on his game down there or move a wee bit closer to Dublin. He must be getting close to Purple Belt at this stage or has he already made it? Anybody know?

    Yeah Andrew said the microphone actually wasn't working but they have it fixed. He also tweeted to expect something big from him tonight.

    Deadly from Dillon. Haha. Good man. Get stuck in there. Conor is so good at that media stuff. Takes it all in his stride. I don't know how he does it. Constant cameras and photos and questions. He does have a lot more media distractions than any of the other guys which is always a worry. Good episode.

    /end rant.

    TL;DR : Conor - hire me i'll sort that sh1t out for you for free from my bedroom.

    This whole post is about writing and grammar. I get that you are interested in writing but this is a thread about Conor McGregor, on an MMA forum. Your post is completely off topic (yes its about Mac Life but the whole thing is about grammar..), there is an off topic thread if you want to post there but please stop posting unrelated stuff in other threads - we discussed this already over pm.

    Conor McGregor owns The Mac Life. This is a Conor McGregor thread.

    My post was highly critical about the standard of writing on the Mac Life and how it reflects on Conor McGregor.

    How in Gods name you can deem that "Off-Topic" is beyond me - it couldn't be more "On Topic". If there was a thread for Manchester United football club, which there is, then surely people are allowed to criticise articles from the official club website which reflect badly on the club.

    By your rationale deeming this "Off-Topic", nobody should even post Youtube links or articles from The Mac Life in this thread. The Mac Life is either fair game to discuss, analyse and debate (in here) or it isn't.

    You can't arbitrarily decide what elements of The Mac Life people wish to discuss or how they relate to Conor McGregor.

    Well, factually, you can and you just did by deleting my post (unfairly).

    You've been great to me over PM's and i respect your moderation but you've got this one very wrong imo. If you're deleting my post then you must continue to delete all Mac Life talk from this thread or post a warning to not discuss The Mac Life. This thread is either about Conor McGregor or it isn't. If it is, then it includes everything from fighting, Call of Duty, celebrity friends to the Mac Life (videos to pictures to authors to writing). If it isn't, then fair enough.

    By your logic you could also then legitimately discuss the web-design of McGregors website or similarly vaguely McGregor-related stuff.

    There has to be a line. Dont think too many people here wanna wade through pages of guff about what some people perceive to be bad grammar.

    No offence.

    Listen - I moved your post first of all its not deleted. Secondly you werent discussing MMA, you were off an a rant about the grammar of the articles. Posting a video of the Mac Life for people to watch, thats fine..discussing whats in the video also fine. Writing a long rant about where people put comma's, apostrophes and use capitals and dont..completely unrelated and off topic. This thread is about Conor McGregor - it isn't about creative writing. End of - discuss the topic in the off topic thread or pm me but the discussion on it here is over.

    100%.

    I think people should be allowed call out the basic design of The Mac life website if they want to. It's Conor McGregors website ffs. It relates 100% to him.

    Anyway, moving on.......
