    Yes the phrase Ugandan discussions came from the time she was caught having sex with the then president of Uganda (i am sure he was a lovely honest man). It was president Obote ..and he became a dictator. .

    Not to take away from the odiousness of Mary Kenny, but it wasn't actually President Obote, it was a former minister in his government.

    So Mary got a bit frisky and fancied a bit of BBC. So what?

    Rory McIlroy and Brian O'Driscoll. Both seem completely sound,alwasy appear classy in public and both are great at what they do and yet I really don't like either of them and the only reason I think I have is because I get the sneaky suspicion they are both massive phonies and are actually too nice to be real and it's all orchestrated to help their image but there is no evidence to back this up so I can't really properly explain why I don't like either of them.

    I think my dislike might stem from me feeling that there is something more endearing about people who are flawed and actually can be assholes a lot of time rather than the other way around.

    Mcilroy is the most boring man in history. Who takes up "golf" as a teenager?

    Mcilroy comes across as anything but "sound" . As for Dricco anyone who went out with Glenda Gilson must be as big a knob as she is.

    Even his nickname... 'Dricco'... sounds like a douche.

    Plus knowing all the douchebaggery that's gone on 'off the pitch' in rugby, as well as the court cases, makes me think he's got some secrets to hide.

    Saw too many comments on twitter about people's experiences with the 'rugby elite' (many absolutely abhorrent) that makes me look at these folks with suspicion nowadays.

    I almost missed the sarcasm there. Might be time for coffee, for me anyways. :)

    Oh God, you reminded me...

    Ross O'Carroll Kelly, or whoever is the guy writing him. Lazy, lazy 'comedy' that's got this audience I don't want to know.

    Both McElroy and McDowell live and work in the US and have done for a number of years, obviously the accent is going to change somewhat. Now the planeloads who went on long weekend shopping trips to the US and came back with New Yaark accents, thats a different story altogether.

    Richard Dawkins.

    Why so, sir?
    I'd recommend everyone should read his God Delusion book.

    To thine own self be true

    The problem with Dawkins is that his 'New Atheism' led to similar dogmatic crap that he was denouncing people for. Then we say Atheism + emerge, as well as Pharyngula...

    You can be pro-science, pro-atheism, and not be a jerk.

    Then Dawkins started deliberately trolling to get attention... and it just seemed...tired.

    Also, for a scientist... he's a terrible writer.

    I didn’t know her name but had to google it
    Thandie Newton

    Every time I see in her in something she just really irritates me.
    I don’t know why. And It’s getting worse! I find myself getting angry here writing this. Not a therapeutic post!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭2 fast


    Most soap actors/reality stars most are narcissistic and thing they are above everyone and everything! All they seem to do is cheat and act the big man!

    She didn't even write her own songs. Mike Batt, who wrote 'Bright Eyes' and 'Better than a Dream', to name a few, wrote her tracks.

    Including '9 millions bicycles', 'Closest thing to crazy', among other songs on her albums.

    I think that's why she faded from view. Without Mike, she had nothing really going for her.

    Bland singer, cute girl tho.

    Honestly lads, you are allowed to criticise people regardless of their skin colour. You're just not allowed to criticise people because of their skin colour.
