Hope they took the money

[NoRiverRequired]

There yet be consequences from it so I better wait a while before turning it into a good yarn but I'm ashamed to say that I fell right into the trap offered by those scumbag American tourists and their chopped up fetus posters the other day by giving them the reaction they were looking for.
Not my finest moment by any means but give me positive result and a few weeks to calm down about it and I'll post the TR

For any of the gamers, I saw Total Biscuit died of Colon Cancer last night. RIP.
Shocking thing is he waited a year before going to the doctor with his symptoms because it was embarrassing and he was guessing it was other things. probably happens often.

Him talking about his cancer recently:

Somebody started an "exit poll" thread on boards. Currently 80/20 in favour of yes. Would assume it's mostly young people living in Urban areas on it so that's expected but a good start.

Ipsos/MRBI doing an exit poll for the Irish Times too https://www.irishtimes.com/news/poli...ight-1.3508503

Exit poll on boards is stupid. I'm surprised it is only 80/20.

Turnout slowing significantly. The good weather could be a blessing and a curse...

Icarus doing his FAS painting course that week I guess.

I heard that.

[Lao Lao]

Just voted, was the only person in the polling station apart from the people working there.

Parked the car in the church car park before walking around the corner to vote Yes.

Felt good.

Saw a tweet earlier from a primary school in Walkinstown. Cunts had a big Mary statue with rosary beads right at the entrance. If everything works out the way we hope tomorrow the next battle is getting them out of our education system. A lesser battle but still a really really important one.

That has already started. The community hospital in Killarney was asked to remove their statue from above the front door. Met with strong opposition. "Negotiations" are ongoing

Just took delivery of my premium Moonshine Apache pizza.

Guy arrived on bare horseback with heavy false tan and a feather head dress.

Tasty.

[Lazare]

Dublin way ahead of marref in turnout, rest of country on a par.

That's good news.

[Bubbleking]

I was sent 2 polling cards for 2 different polling stations. I went to vote in one and just ignored the other but I presume if this is happening regularly across the country its open to abuse? Or if I registered in 2 polling stations would it flag something?

[The Situation]

Going with 52% no.

[Keane]

Landslide for Yes according to Pat Leahy of the Irish Times.

Interesting scene in Eastenders tonight where a woman is pregnant by a married guy, meets him to tell him and he wont leave the missus so she stroppily demands money to "get rid". Remarked to the wife how topical it was but then realised it was on BBC and that RTE had shelved it till 10.05pm.

[Guest]

And yet there's a woman who sees angels on national primetime TV.

[Zod]

I can't. I just can't. 68%

A higher margin than they got in '83 would be such a magnificent bonus.

Seriously obnoxious shit. This fool has been on before as well.

Fuck Yes!! That's how you close the book on a terrible legacy.

Do you know what that was? And turnout?

[Kayroo]

Do you know what that was? And turnout?

Yes 841,233 66.90%
No 416,136 33.10%
Valid votes 1,257,369 99.32%
Invalid or blank votes 8,625 0.68%
Total votes 1,265,994 100.00%
Registered voters/turnout 2,358,651 53.67%

[NewApproach]

68% is amazing.

[6starpool]

68% is amazing.

It's hard to believe is what it is. It seems inevitable that even if it is inaccurate that the result won't actually be in doubt, but I'd still be flabbergasted if the result was that high. It would be absolutely fantastic though.

Next priority (should have been done years ago) is to remove religion from schools. Not teaching about religion as there is merit in learning about them (although I'd be happy if they were abolished altogether) but religious instruction. Anyone that wants communion/confirmation or anything else should not get instruction on it during school hours unless the school is receiving no public funds, in which case they can do what they want.

...Wow...That is a phenomenal % saying yes...It's a real statement by Ireland...I'll be interested to see the breakdown of ages, I'd imagine the younger generation must be about 75%...I'm glad it has passed, but I know it means a huge amount more to some people here...So for the likes of Sod, Lazare, and Mrs Flushdraw, I'm eextremely happy for all of you...

[dobby]

That is class. Felt a sense of pride heading in to vote today.

[Denny Crane]

Haven't looked at it in any depth but yes is about 1/100 right now if those polls are in any way accurate.

[Strewelpeter]

Not a bad day.

Trump utterly humiliated and exposed as a childish imbecile who was played for a dummy by the Chinese, Brexit was pushed out at least three years not least because of our governments steadfastness and it would seem that some of the extremists have suddenly realised their stupidity.
It seems misogynist / religious bigot axis that has dominated Irish culture couldn't raise 1/3 of the vote against a fundamental no brainer proposition for their cohort.

None of them will have gone away... not just yet.

Late Late poll 69.4% yes

[Keane]

We are class.

[KevIRL]

Agree. The surprise after this referendum will be the winning margin for yes.

[Denny Crane]

I'll be shocked if it's anything like 68%

It is to be celebrated Mick.

They're nothing now. Get them out of our schools for the last nail.

They've had their boots on our necks for generations.

[Lazare]

Possibly a lot of shy No voters. Citizens assembly was 68% so maybe not.

Gonna pluck 66.4%

No celebration imo, carry on as if it was expected, no need to rub the act of abortion in anyone's face

Zoinks, that is some margin. Pretty much the same as SSM?
