    You seem a bit angsty, Rodders. All ok?

    Thanks J, all good. Had a good dump earlier. Just a bit “sick” of the virtue signalling by E.

    Not sure that suggesting that lads watching too much of that awful gonzo porn would end up useless balls of impotent rage is virtue signalling, dude. I’d say a lot of them are lost causes at this stage. Absolutely ruined from years of compulsive porn viewing, and now lashing out against women, minorities, people with different views to them. Anger is often an internal emotion externalised.

    His rant is basically saying that anyone who opposes BLM must be into inter-racial / gonzo porn. If he had left out the BLM crap then your point about it not being virtual signalling would have merit, but he didn’t, so I can’t agree it wasn’t virtual signalling.

    Regarding ‘lashing out against ... people with different views to them’, I’d argue he did that in his post. Should I conclude that he has been watching too much inter-racial and gonzo pornography?

    Haircuts are easy. I dunno why I bothered ever going to the barbers waste of money.
    I didn't even cut me ears off 15€ clippers from China job done.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I am afraid to google what gonzo is. Because as far as I know he was one of the Muppets. Will it be another childhood memory ruined?

    I wouldn’t be the “expert”, unlike say E, but my limited understanding is that it is is a “style” of shooting as opposed to a “fetish” like munting or felching. Derived from “gonzo journalism”.

    Agreed, although I made sure to avoid a crappy China job, got an inexpensive branded one manufactured elsewhere. Can’t be rewarding China for giving the world COVID-19.

    You're not going to bother traveling around the country going to matches and all the cost it entails just be seen as being patriotic, nobody would bother getting involved with their cub just for appearances sake either due to the effort involved.


    You might get a few posers getting a free premium level ticket for a match in Croke Park and tagging along but anyone who has any other involvement in the GAA does it out of genuine interest.

    The sunshine summer supporter ones maybe - after the English soccer is over. The fellas who get rained on during the league or freezing thier bits off in less than half empty stadiums have just no sense!

    Feed of bats! :D Just after reading that other post about people trying to seem Irish - re the GAA. You don't have that issue with an expression like that!

    Them USB plugs are great value and handy. I should have got more of them.

    It can be a pain, you search for an item on Amazon and half the results are from China when you check the address.

    Their very much in the minority though, it's no different than any other in that way.And generally non fans will tag along to GAA matches for the piss up involved rather than trying to appear more irish.

    Feck it. Second time I did that. Just realised it might be a popular opinion.
    Really slow on the uptake again - last time was only figuring out that Joe Rogan's comedy is brutal. Only to be told everyone says that!

    OK unpopular opinion:

    Em... people with 'popular' unpopular opinions, should be given a three strike rule on this thread

    I think it has more fake supporters than any other sport in Ireland. So, maybe a minority, but a considerable minority..

    Everyone and their granny is “supporting” it at times. That is why to me it’s obviously fake support for many..

    It’s kind of like. “Sure, come on. We have to!”

    I'd say it depends where you are. The dominant sport in any place will have the most fake supporters swept up in it. I can see how down the country it would be GAA.

    Children should be pushed to learn more during the day at school but should not get homework.

    I worked in a system like this in the Middle East and was amazed by how much more advanced the material they cover at age 7 (and in a second language is).

    You're dead right. Kids are in school six or seven hours a day and for some reason they're also expected to work for another hour or two at home when they should be playing, practicing personal hobbies, reading etc.

    The only reason that children are given homework is to force them to conform to subservience to authority by being made to think teachers can control what to do with their spare time outside of the classroom.

    And a lot more people who "support" rugby do so to be seen to be above working class.

    In fact, during this hiatus on sport, I haven't heard one person say how much they are missing the rugby. Not one. Which goes to show how much of a bandwagon a sport it is.
