Things you wonder about.

And having the power.

Our local parish priest still carries a lot of clout. It'll fade as the older generation dies out, but at present he still carries a lot of sway about here.

I sometimes wonder is my life being watched around the world.

I wonder would dead body smell as bad as chicken scrap's from a bin.

Surely nothing could smell as bad as that.

I heard a point recently where someone argued that sports which need judges are inferior to sports which are won or lost by objective means.

Boxing/MMA came to mind. If you wanted the result to be entirely objective fights would keep going until someone was knocked out, submitted or their corner threw in the towel. Not a “fight to the death”, but until someone just couldn’t continue. Last man standing wins.

That would be quite the spectacle.

it would lead to lot of life altering injuries in my opinion. Ref doesn’t just decide who wins, he’s there to protect both opponents because often a contestant doesn’t know when they’re beaten/concussed and will continue if allowed. Their corner may not want to call it either. Thinking of MMA mainly here.

Just heard on the Brendon OcConnor show that someone called Bad Bunny was the biggest recording artist in the world last year. Bigger even than Daniel O’Donnell.

How did I not know that . I never heard of him.

Maybe they meant biggest physically 🤔

Lack of rain out west. I was in Mayo today visiting relatives and a field that floods every winter was bone dry. All grass. I couldn't believe it considering all the rain warnings. I don't know where the swans went that are usually there enjoying themselves from Iceland spending the winter in warm Ireland.

So yea the west got a lack of rain the past two weeks.

Why, how do people enjoy American football. Just heading to bed now after enduring twenty minutes of football where the ball has been in play for about three minutes of that time.
Changing teams, changing players, flucking and fannying around . With special mention for cricket, golf, horse racing and dog racing this “ sport “ has to be the greatest abomination masquerading as entertainment.

I’m wondering if this problem delivery I’m waiting on will be resolved. I’d be satisfied with a refund now to be honest I’ve a lot going on this week and emailing this rude incompetent dipshît going back and forth tomorrow again isn’t appealing to me at all…

I’m also wondering about younger people and tiktok… my cousins kid, about 24 is in some group live with friends since about 11.15pm yesterday, it’s 3.21am now…. Im genuinely wondering what is the enjoyment of going online broadcasting yourself is ? Hours at it… how with that cohort is that more appropriate and appealing then just having your own group chat on Whatspp or FB… 😵‍💫 don’t get it.

It's because we have been conditioned to assume everything from the US is amazing and better than anything else. It's all marketeting, bullying and bullshit. The fact that our minds are now controlled via US social media is also a huge factor.

Yes it is. We aren't always able to watch it live though, as we have the other lives to follow too, hence late reply.

Sadly, we don't always have fresh popcorn when we do!

It was nice of you to correct that spelling error though, as you typed that message, so that the "spelling nazis" weren't activated on this thread.

We like your hair the way it is now, by the way. (86%-14% in favour, last vote)

Just heard on the Brendon O'Connor show

There's your problem 😀
