    if rumours are to be believed, she's seeing a certain Mr Tubridy.

    Apologies to anyone just sitting down to their dinner, but did she not mention in one of her columns that she was packing up S&M gear for a weekend away? Now I'm not saying that Tubs definitely enjoys wearing arseless leather chaps, one of those black peaked biker caps and nipple clamps while being chained to a rack and getting a stiletto trod into his nutsack-that would of course be unfounded defamation-but it must be a possibility.

    Did she happen to mention where exactly she was going?

    Lads, I literally saw her profile on bumble earlier this month, so I reckon it's unlikely to be either.

    Wearing a repeal the 8th jumper I might ad!

    she is bunched. no wonder she has issues.

    why are those social campaigners who are always outraged at the patriarchy and identity politics not great on the looks scale.
    Does the perpetual anger make them ugly ?

    Probably a typo and supposed to be M&S gear.
    Her fact checking and editorial reviews are second to none i.e. she does none but she might the second after someone points out the inaccuracies (unless it's a man, in which case he's bullying her and proving her point)

    Yep women are paid less than men for the same work. That's why you'll notice all the smart businesses only employ women.

    Those feminist loons are dangerous and its beyond comprehension how idiotic they are. With regards the Paddy Jackman case, so they believe a girl they have never met by virtue of the fact that she has a vagina and the men in the dock have penises? :confused: Because this is what it looks like. They must be guilty and she just cant be lying.

    As far as Loopey Lou and her band of idiot feminists are concerned the men are already guilty and are not entitled to a fair trial. Its absolutely disgraceful what they are doing :mad:

    They are at huge risk of causing trial by media and worst is that the irresponsible pr1cks running the media are giving them free reign to spout their unfounded bile!

    You never see those women or woke baes /soy boys who espouse this brand of feminism apologize for anything (and majority of them are in the wrong - just being offended
    for attention /sake of it)

    She hasn’t apologized about her rants and today fm appearance about the UCD ag200

    "One of the techniques suggests that we choose being kind over being right, and then posed the question, Would you rather be right or happy? My first thought was “I would rather be right, obviously”, followed swiftly by “I am going to die alone”."

    From this weeks article.

    She is neither the f**ckin clown! :mad:

    its worse .
    when you read the sun you do it for a laugh or to read a stupid story
    you know what your reading is trash

    the examiner is supposed to be a factual paper that you read to learn something or to get the fact on a subject. not the ramblings of a hyped up nobody with an agenda

    Completely sickened at the Irish rugby captain showing solidarity with accused rapists.

    Silly f**kin me of course. What an absurd notion in this day and age. The era of the 'Woke bae' :rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Real evidence is now null and void. Instead you can read Loopie Lou's 'Asking for it' and make your mind up about what fate the three men should face based on the ramblings of a deranged lunatic who by for some *****in mysterious reason is actually taken seriously by an alarming number of people in our society.

    What's wrong with this guy? I can almost feel him jumping out of the screen ranting and raving, while the other guy is calm and respectful as hell. I know who I'd prefer to have a discussion with even if I shared opposite views.

    Well if you read the profile bit you find the paraphrased words from that song of yesteryear "I'm a bitch"; "Bitch, lover, child, mother, sinner and saint". Along with that Marilyn Monroe quote; "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best", both are sure fire gold standard gobsh1te detectors.
    I dunno about the rest of you but Im this old fashioned stick in the mud kind of guy with this mad notion that Jackson and co deserve a fair trial and that its their word against the accuser at this point in time.
    Don't be daft TG, it's what you feel that matters. Apparently. The "justice" of the mob, the neurotic mob with it.

    Then again I'd not worry, the vast majority of people don't work or think like that and certainly don't want society and the law to. The interwebs has just allowed the loonies a far larger voice than they used to or warranted. That's what we're seeing here. Plus platforms and outlets love these loonies as they increase traffic. People love to go and point out the loonies. It's bear baiting with the insane and delicate in the pit.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The should just close the sections in kings inn, blackhall place and templemore that deal with rape.
    All thats needed to secure a conviction is for the prosecution to wave a copy of 'asking for it' in front of the jury. We dont evidence anymore.

    woke bae is a boyfriend or (usually male) significant other who is progressive and enlightened in general. He is aware of current events and is sympathetic to plights against racism and sexism.

    "My boyfriend suggested we go to the Women's March on January 21st. I guess you could say I've got a woke bae."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    Got it now folks. Ta.
