      "We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

      Comment


        Did the RDIII Virgin call and (after waiting 30 mins ) got Sky Sports added for €3 less than i was paying for normal TV.

        They dont do BT Sports anymore which is a pain.

          So I didn't realise what I let myself in for when I bought this house.
          The previous ownerscl were elderly and let the gardens go a bit. I've spent the last three weeks buying garden machinery and working hard to reclaim parts of the garden from overgrowth of trees and weeds.
          I'd have run a mile from this work for the past twenty years, did a bit of landscaping in the US when I lived there, but I'm actually getting something out of it now. You forget so much like wearing gloves, I've little cuts and scars all over my hands at the minute.
          The one thing I'd never used in my life was a strimmers/brush cutter, awesome piece of equipment. Next job is to cut back plants at the rear of the back garden. There's stone going the whole way around but not visible in may parts.

          I'm actually enjoying all this work, feel much better too. It feels like I've been doing weights in the gym.

            Somewhat related, there must be a serious boost for current chart songs that can coordinate a TikTok challenge/dance with a songs release.

              It strikes me as markedly similar to the trend of levis ads getting to number one.
              Tiktok dance vids are a couple of seconds long and you have a small tiny cut of an entire track.

              Like when this advert came out


              coolest shit ever, great track, 100% buy it now.

              Then getting hit with this pile of musical wankology

                      I will never forgot the crushing disappointment of listening to that Babylon Zoo track for the first time.
                      first 30 seconds soaring excitement, then a complete collapse of any momentum into the inane lyrics.
                      (the song probably, critically, isn't terrible but I just can't get past the disappointment.)
                      I'm 100% sure there is TOTP video of the first time it was done "live" and the audience collectively going "WTF"?


                      edit: yep

                                      Lee Cooper had some good ones too. The dont be a dummy Gary Numan one was very catchy. Cant remember if the ad or the song originally had us all chanting it when mocking someone.

                                        I've been lucky so far, this is the first proper infestation. Just my 2c, if you plant some nasturtium around but not too close, it seems to keep them occupied.

                                          The next self-inflicted wound for Trump looks like being the Bob Woodward book.

                                          I mean why go on tape like this, why co-operate with Woodward? WTF did he think he was going to get out of it?

                                                    Can confirm Monaghan soil is stoney and grey. They have a tin church, and lots of forest parks. Ventured into rossmore forest park to look at the drumlin giants, and was somehow disappointed even though I went in with very low expectations. It's meant to be one of their top new attractions for tourists, it's 40% finished after 4 years of work and nowhere on the park map does it mention where the sculptures actually are.

                                                    I was on the way down from Tyrone and the Irish American Folk Park was closed but was going to check that one out as it looks a bit different, a real shame, as it meant spending more time in Monaghan

                                                        Tons of nasturtiums around but not a single egg laid on them, though my night scented stock is being devoured. That's a plant I've grown for the first time this year and its amazing, anyone who has a deck that they sit out on in the evenings should grow loads of it, its a fairly non descript little flower but at night it just fills the air with a beautiful scent.

                                                          Creates outrage and further confirms people who would never vote Trump that they are right.
                                                          Its like the healy rae effect on a bigger scale, the more the opposition want him gone, the other side take as a reason they need him in.
                                                          I'm guessing a very close election again, hopefully biden can shade it.

                                                            This election is a referendum on Trump.

                                                            The last one was a referendum on Hilary.

Was the first time in years I've made pizza dough and it came out all crisp on the bottom and perfectly puffed up at the edges.

First non main stream write up I've seen about it but I'd expect a lot more and would like to hear him answer why he held onto it (as he won't say book sales).

Releasing them now only serves to make Donnie look more thoughtful and presidential than he normally does.
                                                                                                    Sitting on the ground taking a shite would make him look more presidential than he normally does. WP though trolling I got caught .

So 1st round leader bets are good for these. Matt Every @ 150s and Scott Piercy @ 95 to 1. a euro each (cursory glance at the odds)

                                                                                                                Then his spokeswoman, with a straight face, can flat-out deny that he said said X.

                                                                                                                But in any case it's all gravy. As long as the Trump campaign is explaining, they're losing. Biden might as well go to bed and let Trump lose this thing all by himself.

IPB really has its finger on the wrong pulse in this regard . I hope ye got on. The tedious narrative that he could shoot a baby and his base will still follow him is moot. His base isnt enough to get him over the line . He got the winds of change backlash vote last nime but he wont get the clusterfuck vote this time. The electorate will destroy him .
