    Austerity measures are needed for the quickest possible repayment of debts and I don't care who suffers as long as nobody is left starving/homeless. I don't want to be paying for someone else's recession when I start work.

    And what sort of time frame did we have in mind for that exciting day ?

    Back to normal when s/he graduates.

    Piste - the awful truth is that you and your children should you have any, will be paying for the debt burden.

    Football is not an entertaining sport, its players are paid far too much and it's ridiculous how emotionally invested in matches people get especially when THE TEAM THEY SUPPORT ISN'T EVEN FROM THEIR OWN ****ING COUNTRY!

    My God that felt good.

    So true, soccer is possibly the dullest sport going played by soft lads in pink boots, more worried about their hair.

    Peep Show is the best English comedy show of the last ten, if not twenty years.

    Some may have been mentioned, and I won't be debating all these....I'm just putting them donw

    - John Lennon was a gob****e.

    - "Freinds" was 5hit

    - So was "Cheers"

    - Sex is overrated

    - Global warming is POSSIBLY a myth.

    - Germany are winning WW III, without firing a single shot

    - Eric Cantona was kinda crap

    - Munich 1958 was the best thing that ever happened to Manchester United

    - People love tragedy (as long as it's not themselves or their family)

    - Hitler escaped!

    - I don't agree that Premier League footballers are overpaid

    - Karen Brady is do-able!

    - Humans, despite claiming to be the most intelligent of all creatures, are infact the stupidest of all creatures because of the way they destroy their own habitat

    - Easily passing exams doesn't mean you're intelligent or "brainy" (may depend on the type of exam)

    - The GAA gets huge credit for the good it's done for Ireland - why does nobody ever balance it by pointing out the harm it has done?

    - Our corporation tax should be increased at least 2 or 3 points.

    - George W Bush wasn't a thicko

    - Jim Corr is not a nut job :D:D

    You're doing it wrong

    Coca Cola tastes nicer when it is flat than when it is fizzy.

    How I Met Your Mother is an awful awful programme - I'll never understand why it has such a large fanbase :eek:

    AGREED!

    In fairness, tv, movies, magazines, friends in school etc. make it out to be the most spectacular event in human history every time you do it.. I chose to play my brand new game of Skyrim instead of sex with my girlfriend tonight. And I am doing it right, I'll just do it tomorrow intead. The way sex is portrayed between friends and in the media, that's an utterly mad and physically impossible decision for a man to make. In reality, most people aren't so sex craved that it's the be all end all of their lives.

    This is an excellent point however the biological drive for sex is just exchanged for something else (Marlo in The Wire is the perfect example of somebody who cares little for sex but craves power, money, etc) therefore it is always there but we just deceive ourselves into thinking it is not.

    A good example would be the lack of funding and energy into other sports.. I never took to football but it was the big one in my county. Hurling was ignored completely at the age I'd have ideally been able to take it up. By the time I realised I could hit a sliotar alot better than average, I was already too old to start into field sports.

    If my father hadn't got me into golf from a young age or one of my secondary school teachers was good enough to start a handball lunchtime club, I'd have never had a sport in my life cause I didnt like Gaelic football.

    The people I've met from other developed countries have a much wider range of sports available to them.

    I agree it is a shame that some counties only concentrate on one code, usually but not always football, to the detriment of the other. However, you can't really accuse the GAA of harming Ireland because it does not promote other sports. That would be a bit like expecting Tesco to remind you to shop in Dunnes every now and again.

    If you have an interest in other sports, it is up to you and other like minded people to try and promote them, much like the teacher in your school did with handball. I know I'm making it sound very simplistic but sitting back and blaming the GAA while expecting someone else to actually do the hard work of setting up and running an alternative sports club is not the best attitude either. By the way, I don't mean you as in you specifically, I mean the general attitude a lot of the population has in excpecting others to always make the effort and get things done.

    The Provos were great. They took care of business. Drug dealers didn't act the bollix when they were around.

    Who was acting the bollix in Warrington?
    Three-year-old Johnathan Ball died at the scene, while his babysitter survived. The second victim, 12-year-old Tim Parry, who received the full force of the blast, was gravely wounded.

    He died on 25 March 1993 when doctors switched his life support machine off, having asked permission to do so from his family, after a series of tests had found minimal brain activity.

    Some might be of the opinion that saying things on the internet that you might regret in the morning is not a good idea.
