What marrage?

Irish people and the UK is a funny one.

The prime example is of course with soccer. How many Irish people claim Celtic are an ''Irish'' team? A lot of Irish people are love to talk about history etc Yet how many Liverpool fans are in Ireland who happen to ignore the fact they were founded by a memeber of the Orange Order? I know it has little to do with them now but the whole argument with Celtic is because what they did for Irish people when they were founded etc

You can buy these on Ebay

Liverpool have a big following on the Shankill Road in Belfast.

So do Manchester United. Look how many Northern Ireland Protestants have lined out for them over the years.

The thing I hate most about Kneecap is the fact that they donated £7,000 to a Shankill youth project.

If you want a united Ireland, then one day those disaffected Shankill youth won't be "somebody else's problem" any more

Ok, will wait for EU and/or Ireland to do something about tiktok et al spreading poison. They would want to hurry up. They've been allowed spread it for years.

The people who try to justify supporting a foreign team by saying "oh they're the Irish/catholic club in that city" are complete idiots.

Just admit that you support them because they were really good when you were younger, it's hardly a coincidence that the vast majority of people in Ireland over the age of 40 tend to support either Man Utd or Liverpool or that the vast majority of those who support Man City or Chelsea are in their 20's now.

Also I'm really fed up of being told by the media I have to like both Liverpool the club and Liverpool the city just because there were loads of Irish immigrants historically in the city, there are almost certainly even more in London or Birmingham but nobody tries to make a similar argument about that.There was another stupid article in the independent yesterday about this. I've nothing against Liverpool as a team or a city but continually trying to make people feel they should have some liking for a city/team is just tedious.

I just cannot see what's so amazingly spectacular about the Beatles. I know they were very good, I like and love numerous songs by them - this isn't an edgy "the Beatles were crap" comment. I am absolutely not suggesting they were bad.

But the extreme veneration of them - I just don't get. I simply can't find the reason for that level of worship. Songs like When I'm 64, Yellow Submarine, All You Need Is Love - kinda silly imo.

And I don't get the worship of Nirvana either.

The singer from Kiss was on desert island discs recently, when asked if there was one band, just one collection of songs that you could take with you onto the desert island, what band would it be?

He answered The Beatles !!

Guess it had to be, as other bands have the odd hit and maybe one good album, The Beatles just kept making hits and inventing themes and sounds time and again. So much variety and interesting sounds from just one band 🎸

yeah, if only we could elect MEPs… 🙄

Or if the commission was appointed by our democratic governments… 🙄

For a leftie that's some amount of Trumpian shite you're spouting.

Kiss are one of those completely rubbish, talentless acts that are inexplicably popular in the US but the rest of the world rightly has little or no time for them. They're nearly as bad as Aerosmith.

Kid Rock though is the worst, a prick with no talent who is famous for being famous.

You bet wrong (why make assumptions based on nothing?) I've listened to all Nirvana albums - I've been obsessed with music since the early '90s. I don't think they're bad - I know they had talent, but I don't think they're as amazing as made out to be. And of course this is just my personal opinion. Other bands I don't get the worshipping of are: My Bloody Valentine, Suede, REM and Depeche Mode. But nonetheless I still like some songs by them.

And there are many no doubt who don't get the big deal about bands that I love.

It's a good idea but I can't see it happening tbh. FF and FG rely heavily on the grey vote and they wouldn't want to implement anything that would put that at risk.

On Nirvana albums, you're absolutely wrong. Their best albums are those 2 with Dave Grohl on the drums, he's the best musician from all of them and his drumming is what makes Nirvana sound like Nirvana. Which one it's the best it's arguable indeed, for me it's hard to decide.

yeah absolutely ZERO chance of it happening.
