'Kay so. Would you prefer bigoted? Or maybe narrow-minded?

Edit: Ooh, or maybe even the R word? :pac:

What, it's bigoted or narrow-minded to tell the truth? It is a fact that a large percentage of Irish men are all those things I said. Or do you dispute that?
Don't see how you possibly could.

And I meant bald by choice, as in shaved heads. Each to their own

Well I choose a tight cut instead of a comb-over. It's funny how baldy heads == Nazi, when Mr. No.1 Nazi Himself had the most outrageous stupid combover ever. Moral of the story, never trust a man who tries to pretend he has more hair than he really has.

Moral No.2 - never trust a woman who would lead you off to war while she's happy to sit on her ass on the home front

Sorry some of you find the truth hard to deal with.

...though actually not the marriage thing actually TBH. Dunno how people can commit to one person for life.

It's a lot cheaper than divorce, especially if you're a man

Fat, smelly, drunk, a fottie fan, and oh yes I forgot... semi-literate.

Knowing a few guys who are divorced I'd say you're 100% correct in that statement. Men in this country generally get shafted in divorce settlements.

Yeah, but us modern women try to be as durty as the men. Feminism, I think it's called.

Aah ya just redeemed yourself because you're gracious enough to admit that

And what I didn't say was one of the things I do love about Irish men is their sense of humour and the fact that they're good craic, which can make up for a lot.

And with that I'll say good-night.

Sorry but has to be said...some amount of assholes on here tonight.

Good luck Colm. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Pure gent.

Well said telekon. They are the same assholes who are on this thread week in week out, polluting it with their hopelessly cringeful attempts at comedy. Having a pop at people with terminal diseases is real brave stuff.

Sick. They know who they are too.

My heart also goes out to Colm. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Listowel Races once and a finer gentleman you couldn't hope to meet.

amdublin

Did you read the whole thread

Just a small minority made mean spirited comments and to be fair the majority of "regulars" on the lls thread said positive words.

I know it must be dispiriting but really, take no notice of them. Any woman who seriously suggests a man who doesn't drink is not to be trusted is an idiot. A sheep who can't think for herself and just goes along with what she believes is the only way of socialising in this country i.e. getting pissed with her mates down the pub.
They're the ones with the problem, not you.

And would you really want to be with someone who is so narrow-minded and has such limited horizons?
Think of it as a good way of filtering out the brain dead and that it'll saves you time and maybe heartache in the long run if you tell them you don't drink straight off

I drink (in moderation, I don't binge) but I would never dream of thinking badly or turn down a guy who chats me up just because he told me he doesn't drink.
That's just moronic.

Wow, some really truly awful people in here! I think if any one of you actually listened to the interview instead of trying your hardest to think of "witty" retorts to each other, you may actually realise he's on the show to raise awareness! Of course he's going to talk about himself - that's the point, explain how it affects someone with the disease!

I'd like to see any of you cope as well as he is right now!

Well said. Sense among all the assh0les oh here trying to be funny. Nothin but lonsesome creeps on their own with nothing better to do or no one to talk to on a Friday night.

Well done to Colm Murray. Just watched it on i-player.

Mods should be taken action against the sick clowns who were on here mocking him.

So out of 939 posts you quoted 3 who were downright rude about Colm Murray - and you feel that is representative of this thread or all of the posters on it.

That doesn't make sense.

As has been noted it was just a few posters who made negative comments about CM - and free speech allows for this.
People have to be allowed to have differing opinions (right or wrong).

The Late Late show is what I hate about Ireland. Having music acts on the show because they are successful rather than good.

Just watched the lls on rte realplayer.

That Paul Galvin is an awful eejit.

And a complete waffler and spoofer.
"do you like French designers". I do yeah (no other information)
"do you want to get into fashion design or fashion buying". I don't know. There's a course I might do.

As Bill Cullen would say; you're a spewfer.

Tubuse:D I looked it up:

Tubuse – A form of psychological torture practised every Friday night on RTE. (The media wing of Ireland’s dictatorship). The main practitioner of this cruel and unusual punishment is one “Ryan Tubridy” AKA DLB. Tubridy, while devoid of any real talent, was chosen because of his links with the FF ruling elite.


The practise involves asking the interviewee a series of mind-numbingly dull questions until they appear to be losing the will to live.
The interogation procedure was banned by all media outlets since 1980


Recent high profile victims of Tubuse would include, Jack Black, Juliet Binoche and Gordon Browne.
If you have witnessed or have been affected by Tubuse, there is a support thread that meets every Friday night.

Victims of Tubuse

Our man in Havana

Mod notice: Folks, if someone is writing in text speak or is otherwise abusive report the post and for heavens sake don't quote the post. It is time consuming to delete all the quotes saying "cop on" etc.

I like Colm Murray but god almighty what is this endless monologue doing on TV.

My God there are some fairly stupid and ignorant comments on this thread and I hope to God none of the people who have made light of it have to see someone close suffer from it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I Sky +'d the Late Late Show especially to watch this interview today. My father was diagnosed last year and it's breaking our hearts to watch his deterioration. My father was just like Colm, loved his golf and was enjoying life. That's all gone now. Colm's story was engrossing for me - I saw what my Dad will never tell me from Colm's perspective - the fear and despair. You could see the sadness in his eye's when he told how he broke the news to his daughters, just the same way my father did. Colm seems to have a powerful strength of mind and I truly wish him, his wife and his daughters all the very, very best. It's a horrible, rotten disease.

By the way, there's no such thing as being "bumped up" on a hospital list with this disease. There's no cure, life expectancy seems to be between 2 - 5 years after diagnosis at best. Please God.

So, all those looking for lightheartedness got the Rubber Bandits, and then people like my father and other sufferers got to relate to Colm Murray's story. That's the beauty of the Late Late Show. Everybody wins, don't they?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saoirse_Ronan


Saoirse, an only child, was born in New York City.[2] She is the daughter of Irish parents Monica and Paul Ronan – the latter an actor – who were living in New York at the time. Her family is Catholic.[5] She was raised in County Carlow, Ireland, having moved to Ireland when she was three years old.[6] Ronan is currently home schooled and lives in County Carlow, Ireland.[7][8]

That stuff confuses me they say they are Irish and you say English Americans.

Colm Murray was back doing the sports news tonight on RTE1 tonight, fair play to him.

He was sitting behind the desk, rather than standing as the sports news readers usually do.

But other than that, you wouldn't know there was anything wrong with him, a real professional.

I quoted three of a countless number and all 939 were not related to Colm Murray.

Had a look at the thread on the Sat night show just now, same greasy sad loners sitting with one hand on their laptops trying to be funny with the other hand God knows where reading some of the posts about Amanda |Brunker and the girl from Crystal Swing. Have they no life. Fri and Sat night the week before Christmas with nothing better to do.

Sad muppets!

Any right thinking, empathetic people have respect and sympathy for Colm Murray for talking about Motor Neuron Disease.. If you wish to chastise the few trolls that call him names, work away..

Sad muppets!

so what would that make you.. The muppet police?
