My neighbour moved recently and put the house next door up for rent. I was driving home from work the other day and there was a couple (or so I thought) in the house looking to rent. I only caught a glimpse of them as they entered but the girl looked absolutely beautiful from a distance.

I had a whole host of impure thoughts.

Turns out that it was a father and daughter and the girl was really young.

I didn't fully realise her age when I saw them first and had an immediate rush of regret as I realised that she cant have been anymore than 17 or 18.

Id consider that quite unpopular, as someone in my very early 30s, I cant wait to be 3 deep at the bar, in a packed club or with thousands of others buckled at a festival, every second of this lockdown has been torture for my social life

Even before the pandemic, packed sweaty pubs and night clubs used to disgust me.
Especially during the summer. I avoided them like the plague if you pardon the pun.
My arm could be twisted to go to a carvery bar on a Sunday maybe to watch a Super Sunday match, but only if I knew it wouldn't be that packed.

Horse racing isn't a sport.

Haha c’mon you know that’s nonsense

Though as you note, yours is an unpopular opinion

I'm sick of hearing about climate change. I know it's a big deal and we should try not to feck up the planet but I don't get people like Greta. Why care so much about something you can't do anything about?

What does annoy me though are those gobsh1*s who put dog sh1t in plastic bags and hang them off trees. The sh1t washes away in the rain, plastic bags don't.

With the controversy of the school skipping the queue for covid vaccines, I think that both teachers and other essential workers should be priority in getting the vaccine anyway. They should be before the over 70's in a healthy condition and able to isolate.

I think teachers are massive moanholes who gave less than most during this pandemic.

If a person is so unhappy in their own skin that they feel the need to undergo a sex change then perhaps it isnt their gender that is the issue.

The statement that horse racing isnt a sport is nonsense too.

MMA is legalised barbarism and there's practically zero skill in the game of Rugby from what I can make out

This is correct. Neither rugby nor MMA are sports. Cricket isn't a sport either. Nor is cycling (you're just riding a bike lmao, even I can do that). And as for tennis - don't even get me started. Hitting a ball across a net isn't a sport.

The only actual sports are the ones that I like.

Yeah. Pretty much.

The person that didn't like racing said the same thing.

Formula 1, pre-2000. It stopped being a sport around the time that I stopped enjoying it. Soccer is sometimes a sport, depending on who's playing and whether I care about either team. Also, snooker, depending on whether O'Sullivan is playing. If he's playing, it's a sport. If it's Dott v Ebdon, it's not a sport.

That's what I feel like when Rugby is on

I think Mary McAleese is abusing her position as a former President. Too many public comments, using her former status as leverage.

they should be ahead of those who works in the HSE who are not dealing with the public as well

Too many people are afraid to say Covid has been a god send for them. Extra lie on in the morning rather than travelling to work for many in public service jobs. Saving money, more family time, people not that concerned with travel etc. Those in relationships.

If like me, your single, it's a nightmare.

I don't think so at all. Although if she was saying stuff that I disagreed with, it would be a disgraceful abuse of her position as a former Uachtarán na hÉireann.

Well that's it. I feel whether you agree or not she shouldn't be commenting. Mary Robinson is far more dignified IMO.

Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.

Sometimes kids and teenagers have bad anxiety about things and it's mainly brought on by their parents blowing stuff out of all proportion and taking things to seriously.
