    I'll give ya a few:

    In general, I quite like the English.

    And the French.

    And the Germans.

    Father Ted wasn't that great really.

    Ireland would NOT "be the best place in the world to holiday - if only we got the weather" It would be very average.

    ...that was my impression of package holidays. As a result I never went.

    This is my experience of non-package holidays.

    ....t'would seem that the notion of trying to pack a pleasurable series of travels in a very constrained time period is inexorably flawed. 'Coach tours' come across as the ultimate hell in that regard.

    I dont care if the donkey sanctuary needs money, let the donkeys die, in fact put them down to save having to spend money keeping them alive. There are far greater causes more in need of money.

    Since there isn't a thread like this on the Soccer Forum I'll post it here.

    Ryan Giggs is way over-rated. Yes he is a legend in terms of service to United, and his medal collection speaks for itself, but I genuinely believe he is over-hyped as a player.

    He has just been crowned the greatest Premier League player of the last twenty years, but IMHO he wasn't even United's best player in that time. Keane, Scholes, Cantona and Ronaldo all played bigger roles in title winning seasons. There was a time from say 01 to 07 when he seemed to regress as a winger so was converted into a midfielder. Bar the odd good performance playing there, his contribution has been over-hyped. Scholes six months since he came out of retirement this season were far better than the season Giggs was awarded player of the year.

    RANT over

    He was amazing, but that was over 12 years ago. Like you say after turn of the decade he went backwards, maybe a few good spells here and there but never deserved that award.

    I like Jedward. Two some what odd lads without a doubt, but they have the world at their feet and are filthy rich. Good for them, I say.

    There is nothing i enjoy more than an unpopular opinion from a truthful person .

    Ireland should have openly helped the Allies.

    Ireland should have joined NATO.

    Shannon should have been made a USAF heavy lift transport base,as well as a civilian airport.

    Mother Theresa was shameful human being and how the Catholic Church have portrayed her is a shame to people who have suffered under her hands.

    She was a devil in her own right.

    I think Johnny Depp is a very overrated actor and a bit of a one trick pony

    I hate football and don't see what's so great about it.

    Todays cars lack style and look all the same.

    Heineken is awful p**s water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭Eire.


    I actually believe some of so called "conspiracy theories". Are we meant to believe the mass media on everything? People put far too much trust in the motives of others

    The Vatican saying she performed miracles, and is therefore going to become a saint is actually comical
