Rod Stewart on the front of Railway Modeller
The singer, 74, has revealed the painstaking results of 26 years spent building a 1,500 sq ft scale replica model railway inspired by postwar Manhattan.
The meticulously re-created set, which takes up most of the third floor of his mansion in Beverly Hills, includes skyscrapers more than 5ft high with hand-painted brickwork, rubbish-strewn streets, people going about their day — and trains.

The Irishman delivers, the anti aging stuff wasn’t that noticeable, except for when they were doing the guys in their 20s -30s and (not a spoiler) that scene where de Niro stomps on the guy outside the shop, that was the weakest old man stomping I’ve seen in a gangster movie.

That Fianna Fáil senator who nobody had heard of before twitter stuff is pretty lame, can’t imagine too many people bothered about those tweets, do Pavee point have someone full time going through old tweets or something?
No future political careers for KevIRL and Sickpuppy I guess

It's almost as if when a group of people are so dehumanised that it becomes difficult to imagine that any of them might remember being debased and insulted on a public forum by a person from their communityTurning millions into thousands

If you look at the actual tweets (the ones I’ve seen anyway) they are pretty tame, something about someone’s outfit looking like something from a travellers wedding and calling someone a knacker for stealing a car.
That’s a far cry from the “sterilise all knackers” kind off stuff you see in some places.
Maybe I haven’t read enough of the articles but this was 6 years 7 or more years ago , I really don’t think the pile on here is justified. Knacker has become a lot more taboo term in the intervening years she was using it in its general sense in that tweetLast edited by Guest; 13-11-19, 10:11.

All the whiny haters from other counties whinging about how Kerry gets too much of a tourism push might want to take a leaf out of their book and stop discharging raw human shit into the sea. Seems to be the only county not at it

She deserves every piece of criticism for those tweets especially in light of the position she holds. She was the same age then as I am now so absolutely no excuse.

Like Jesus Christ do we really want to import this Twitter pile on shit to this country, she was a private citizen when she made those tweets, genuinely who gives a fuck?

Even when I was a kid "knacker" was a term with a way nastier edge than other pejoratives for travellers. You'd hear people calling someone a 'tinker' rather than a 'knacker' in the same way they'd call something a 'darkie' rather than a 'n*****'. It was already off-puttingly strong stuff in the early to mid 90s in Tralee, which is probably not a forerunner in the use of politically correct language.

I suppose if you are not smart enough to clean up your timeline on going into politics thats the kind of shit you are going to face.

I know my opinion would change on a candidate if I found out they had used an abundance of derogatory terms about a minority group in an open forum.
This isn't a private conversation amongst friends which has been leaked(not condoning that either). It was a series of idiotic uses of a derogatory terms. IMO she should need to explain her position and if people choose to accept her apology then that's fine but their critique is well within the scope.

Who is going back reading 7 year old tweets by a non entity senator though? She obviously pissed someone off

Anyone using Vodafone 100Mb broadband for streaming that can share experiences? I'm on 360Mb with Virgin at the moment and while it works well and is reliable, it's a saucy €64pm compared to the ~€25p/m I can get the Vodafone deal at.
I presume 100Mb would be plenty fast to stream whatever I like?

There’s very few on this forum in a position to get on their high horse re this kind of thing, eg you have called certain female politicians “cunts” on here over the years,less so in recent times as online norms have changed, all bants amongst friends here but prob wouldn’t play too well splashed on the front of the Indo if you were in a public facing role .Last edited by Guest; 13-11-19, 12:59.

Actually can think of very few posters on here (including myself) who don’t have a few posts in the vault that could be used to drum up some outrage if they got into politics.
This place used to be like a bad WhatsApp group , remember blue dress girl v ballet girl, plenty of comments there that would play very poorly these daysLast edited by Guest; 13-11-19, 13:05.

I'm kind of surprised Noel Grealish thinks there's a big market for racism against Nigerians. There's been loads of West Africans around for it must be 20 years or more at this stage and I can't remember anyone bar taxi drivers ever giving out about them. Taxi drivers giving out about them obviously being a badge of honour. I am definitely racist against white Irish taxi drivers.

It has a 100gb monthly limit and I have used it to work from home, stream Netflix, NowTV and NBA Game Pass with very few issues.
Stability > speed is generally the issue with streaming, depending on how intensive the demand.
The worst part of the whole debacle is that the engineers have installed the infrastructure but OpenEir haven't done the rest because the estate isn't complete.

eir broadband deals & offers from Ireland's most reliable Broadband speeds! Buy Totally unlimited fibre broadband from €34.99/m for 12months & €50 off your bill
I think eir generally give the exact capability of the line in the result.
If you don't have an active phone line you could try asking some close neighbours what they are receiving through their lines. This isn't foolproof though as even close lines may take different paths.

People are who they pretend to be.
You'd get so wrapped up with "winning" your randomly appointed views stance you'd end up carrying it into your real personality.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Liberland is having a Dublin meet up. Would interest anyone looking to move to a tax haven. Probably not that different to going to an extinction rebellion meet up
The Free Republic of Liberland is a sovereign state located between Croatia and Serbia on the west bank of the Danube River.
This group is for anyone who would like to meet and network with other libertarians and to learn more about how to help support the growth of the World's youngest country.
Live and let live.

On a similar note, seems tv is going back to its old stupid ways with every show being kept behind a different subscription site (Disney, Apple, Netflix). Might have to ditch the Netflix sub and go back to sailing on the high seas.

Apple will not make anything decent, there’s just no way their corporate culture will allow it, it’ll be safe bland shite
Disney will do well because of all the Marvel morons but will be slim pickings for even semi functioning adults.
Netflix still haven’t produced a wire or sopranos and Disney and Apple aren’t going to come close either. And that’s an absolute lock.Last edited by Guest; 13-11-19, 21:39.
