RabbleRouser2k wrote: » Well, alcohol tends to clean metal... Any substance will make mental health issues worse. Coffee is not recommended for someone with anxiety, for example. It makes things worse. But when you have a substance that can actually trigger mental health problems when there were none before (for example, latent Schizophrenia-which may not develop in a person unless they use cannabis) then you don't go near it. Or recommend it.

RabbleRouser2k wrote: » I was gonna say Kylie, but she still uses her second name. Beyonce, Prince (RIP), Eminem, Rihanna, Shakira,Slash, Lorde, are some that that spring to mind. They just mind their own business, keep making music, and just avoid stepping into s**t. (Or did, in the case of Prince, who's sadly no longer with us). They don't go off, spouting rubbish. And in the case of Lorde, tend to only make an appearance (outside of music) when they're taking the pee out of themselves. (Lorde has appeared on SNL, and was the loudest person laughing when she was the punchline on South Park.) The sad thing is, Ireland has a habit of celebrating the mediocre. Everyone else backs stuff up, Irish acts just tend to be crap.
castletownman wrote: » I'll give you Lorde. But Prince was definitely a drama queen! Back on topic, it may be a bit niche, but I listen to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast every week. It's four producers from QI discussing their favourite facts of the last seven days. Good fun, and can be very interesting, but one of them, Anna Ptaszynski, is painful. She always interrupts the others, and tries to be the smartest and funniest person in the room the whole time.

He is a sanctimonious pile of shight, he is basically a walking virtue signal that breathes. He is not as sick as he pretends to be either, which is not fair on people who are. The only people who like him are birds, ask yourself the question, could you trust him to be in the company of yours?

IAMAMORON wrote: » Bradley Walsh gets a pass. There is a touch of the Blackpool's about him that I find charming. He is actually a failed soccer player who became a bluecoat at Butlins or something similar. There is something agreeably cheesy about the professional entertainer, he is not slagging off minorities or trying to be edgy, he is making your granny laugh, I kind of like that at times.
