    Since Facebook are blocking the Land Leagues messages, they've set up a premium rate text message service.

    Seems legit.

    The Hub are so convinced there's a Facebook conspiracy to silence them, they're encouraging people to move to their effort on a Russian social network. Because censorship isn't a very Russian thing to do.

    They're very fond of this siege mentality in general. It basically means that anyone who questions anything about them is against them and everything they stand for. That goes for the hub, TLL, DDI, all of them.

    One guy questioned the validity of last weeks protest on the grounds that they were renting and given 18 months notice. He made some sensible, rational points on the subject but was still met with the same wall of hostility.

    For me, it's becoming more and more like a cult.

    It's only fitting that tin foil hatters use shiny tank tape to block off the address. Stops the contents reading your mind and the meter from giving off radiation, y'know.

    What's with the "I don't understand your intent"? I'd ask what the "logic" is behind saying that, but I couldn't bring myself to destroy that poor word any more than it has been.

    I mean... they intend to bill you for the bloody water you use. What's not to understand?

    "I do not recognize you". It says Irish Water on the envelop. It's the crowd that you've spent so many hours reading through dubious forums and scribbing down bullsh*t legal terms. Recognise them now?

    BTW has anybody negotiated an International treaty? Something I've always wanted to do.

    I'm new to the wonderful source of laughs that is this whole freeman thing. As a result, I'm not 100% up to speed with their various nonsensical notions....what's the thing about caps locks and different colour font??? :confused:

    I'm sure most of ye have seen this but if you haven't, watch from 18:00 to 19:30.....you couldn't make it up....apparently the sheriff needs "a signed referendum of the constitution" :D

    Good news for Donegal fans. According to "King" Billy McGuire, yesterday's All Ireland final may have been invalid due to the presence of serpents on the medals.

    If only we'd put him on the case for the Thierry Henry incident we could have qualified for the 2010 World Cup.

    Link.

    Its on his website http://www.billymcguire.com/gaa-all-ireland-medals.html. He was giving them out at the Sean Treacy commemoration on Talbot Street ahead of the all Ireland hurling final. People seemed to be taking them out of politeness more than anything else.

    I was hoping to avoid going to his website :)

    what particular relevance does he attach to the change in medals?

    Ok, i read a bit more. Is he really claiming ownership of the GAA?

    Sure how it could it possibly be valid? St Patrick himself banished all snakes from GAA games :pac:

    Lies from the illegitimate Royal Reptilian cabaal that run the State.

    One of Billy McGuires's ancestors banished the snakes and therefore Billy is the rightful patron Saint of the *real* Ireland.

    I'd say he's probably happy enough for the 'Ga' to have the loan of the cup for the time-being. But you know they'd want to sort out the medal business to his satisfaction quick - or his generosity in letting them use the cup might not last.

    Some lovely sentiment from the Galway chapter of The Hub.

    Here's smooth voiced Vin from People's Bedroom Internet Radio having a chat with Claire Cullinane (from 37 mins onwards).

    At 51 minutes, she goes on about groups with "ulterior motives" who are hoodwinking people with "false hope". These groups are rife with"professional level infiltrators" according to Vin.

    She goes into great detail about how RTE set her up; darkened rooms, lights in her face, editing witchcraft etc.

    On the issue of the money collected; it was to pay a "legal team" for the "test case" and create your "own private family trust" of which she took only €10 herself for expenses

    Nothing has happened in the test case but we already knew that. She states at 1h22m that it's gone and the couple have moved on and "made their own arrangements". The time is apparently "wrong" to go ahead with anything else according to "many legal teams" and RTE scuppered the whole thing. She claims she'll be issuing refunds to her backers which she claims number 300 (but just as easily could have been 30,000).

    Also, according to Vin, accountants take an oath these days.

    I'd listen to the other hour but I'd need more alcohol than is to hand.

    Only €10? I hope she provided a receipt :rolleyes:

    .

    Do we read that to mean they got proper legal advice instead?:)

    I assume from Toms insistence at the end that she say "Yes" rather than "Of course" they think have something up their sleeves...
