So.....what can I say.....

I'm not sure here ladyship would approve of miniskirts, boobtubes and hoopy ear-rings. But greatful that she did chose an obscure Irish village for her comeback concert in Europe. Maybe she took a note out of Guns n Roses' book.

Edit: can you take the "of" out of the thread title.

Are you sure this wasn't just the Knock round of the "lovely girls competition"????

"Thousands"? Reminds me of the RTE documentary about the travellers bare-knuckle boxing in ireland from a few years

"I travelled thousands of miles to be here today. Thousands of miles!"
"Where did you come from?"
"South Wales".

The T's love it, that's all that matters.

MuffinTop86 · 10-06-2017 08:28PM

Ahh, I guessed right about it being travellers. The Independent must've been too afraid to mention it.

One_Of_Shanks · 10-06-2017 08:29PM

But they didnt do any harm did they? Sure let them at it so, who cares.

Don't Knock it till you've tried it

greencap · 10-06-2017 08:32PM

You mean thousands of individuals of this particular variety went to a very rural isolated area together, a place thats far away from me.

hmmm.

Well I for one believe in the apparition.
No smoke without fire isn't that what they say.

Less of your skepticism.

Such utter bull****..

I believe that the original apparition occured but I am sceptical that this event was a genuine visitation.

Still, a day of prayer will benefit anyone who does it.

The gardai are causing the congestion by the look of it.

Because there have been no reports of this one, but there were of the first one?

That's a good reason to abandon all reason.

Nobody, boss

No elderly people have been fooled into getting gutters / tarmac today.

Farm burglaries have not been reported today.

Its been one of the lowest days for shoplifting in years.

Its a miracle

All I'm saying is there were reports

Today someone said there will be a vision, but so far nothing reported.

15 different people between the ages of 75 and 5 gave the same account of events in the first case; one boy gave his account in the second case. I said I was skeptical of his claim, not that I didn't believe him.

1879 West of Ireland there was a famine going on

Desperate people looking for a little hope

Someone should set up an apparition. Get the apparition to say they should behave, not do bad to anyone and live very clean taxable lives etc. and so on.

LOL.

So the reports of these 15 people is enough evidence for you? Like you really believe their accounts that Mary appeared?

evolving_doors · 10-06-2017 09:15PM

Over 2,000 people turned up at Knock shrine in anticipation of an apparition, after a teenage boy claimed there would be one there this afternoon.

Is she on snapchat now then?
