Made up tradition that sounds more trouble than it's worth. Some eejits will buy into any fad.

I just don't get how pigs-in-blankets have made their way onto the Xmas dinner table -- they're the food of carrion-gobbling scavengers.

I don't get why so much live music is amplified to the point of distortion, I've often feel lowering the sound a bit would much improve the the listening quality.

They need to sort out which instruments, mics etc. should be at which volume.

. Why the hotel wedding manager didn't tell the them to wrap it sooner is beyond me

Because he would be rightly told to F off, it’s nothing to do with him.

I’m not a fan of long speeches but still it’s the couples day and they are entitled to do the speeches as they want. I also wouldn’t agree with having no speeches, I think it’s nice for people in have time to say a few words and they are usually quite funny. Think the speeches at my wedding were about 25 mins altogether with us around the right amount of time imo.

Pure rehashed tripe, watched it last night as the missus wanted to see it and had a bit to drink but still went through the whole lot without even a smirk. It was a lame p1ss take of it’s a wonderful life.

I think it’s brilliant, can’t understand the dislike (from a very small minority) at all.

It's a panto for grown ups, and not particularly clever humour.

Buy pretty much the same car, 3 years old for around 1/3 of the price and you've about €35k to spend on other stuff.

Those people think that by driving a brand new car others will think they are superior, wealthier etc etc

Why so thousands of priests raped young boys? Did they all turn gay when they entered the priesthood or something? Can't understand it

Wow, did you just equate paedophile rapists to gay people?

Tell me you think you told a joke ?

I also read that high tables with no stools has a similar effect

Another one is thicker glass bottles containing less alcohol in clubs. Hardly noticeable

It's no secret if you were a bit feminine or just plain not into girls you were ushered into the priest hood..

Are you equating homosexuality with pedophilia?

He's saying that a lot of gay people went into the priesthood. A percentage of them, probably in line with the rest of the population, were pedophiles. In their position of power, they were able to act on it.

You're really trying too hard. The topic was about why it was young boys being abused more. He's simply saying there were a lot of gay priests.

people who let cars in who have skipped the queue, let them sit there, by skipping the queue they are saying they are more important than the rest of us to wait like everyone else. unless they are emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens on you shouldnt let the skip the queue and then cut in.

The question was, why were so many boys raped by priests?

The answer proffered was, because priests are gay.

I think you need to try harder.

I spelt it out quite clearly I thought. If lots of the clergy are gay, and a percentage of those are pedophiles, then it leads to boys being raped.

You're the one bringing up the association between being gay and being a pedophile.

It wasn't you.
It was two other posters.
You explained yourself quite well.
That doesn't explain why you are defending people equating homosexuality with pedophilia.

I haven't really been following that carefully. Now I see what you mean with Andrew's post. I just responded to what Macdarack said and your reply.

Designer clothes. You're only paying for the logo. I buy most of my clothes in Dunnes Stores. Not only are they a fraction of the cost but they're generally a lot more comfortable too.
