I had a similar conversation on here with regards homophobic attacks, people saying it was just scumbags being scumbags etc. But im sorry if someone shouts f#ggot at you repeatedly and slashes your face with a stanley knife it feels kind of targeted.

Online booking for Mass as proposed by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin... now dat could give us a bit of Liveline Gold.

Yeah I often wondered why ms Ebony Joseph, now that she has her doctorate, does not return to Nigeria where she could do great work In trying to unite the northern Muslim part with the mostly Christian south. Racism sorted. 200 million soul united. What an achievement.

Don't worry.

Somebody with a makey-up PHD will be able to tell you how it is a sign of inherent racism probably linked to something they put in Irish drinking water.

Dat would be de chlorine & de fluoride, caller.

Or have us all join Opus Dei, they use chains on themselves. I remember my mother walking down by one of their venues, she had us divert our walk to have a nosey at it to see if she could detect ships or chains through the windows.

At de weekend I was asked directions in my estate by the most divine sounding (and looking) young man. I could have eaten him there and then, was really tempted to ask him where he was from but thought better of it.

Reading Steve Coogans autobiography recently there was a line that struck me in it:
"Humourless, enlightened liberals bring out the fascist in me"

I just finished reading the Partridge 'Nomad' book. So funny I was actually laughing out loud at times.

In "I, Partridge" Alan/Steve provides a helpful soundtrack guide which adds to the reading experience as one imagines for example Clannad playing in the background as Alan walks through a forest so to speak as they say.

So, social distancing is now being described as "all that carry on".
He should be fired now.

He should have been withdrawn from the airwaves so to speak after the "we can't get de virus as we're an island" and "even if it comes here no-one will die so to speak" comments.

But you don't know that do you.

I don't know if it was racially motivated either.

But I do know that if a group of scumbag Irish white lads, jumped and stabbed a Black Irish lad this weekend I guarantee you the media would be all over it like a rash.

I said dat yesterday.

Gang warfare was a whole other level in Johannesburg back in those days it's still bad but some of the city is being reclaimed now. I never worked there but visited SA a lot them days I knew people in Gauteng (they were porras as some people derogatorilly called them) on the suburbs of Johannesburg. Different life

Ignorant inadequate dangerous bullies & scumbags will find whatever “otherness” provides as a target.

I was in Namibia and South Africa a few years ago and overall they didn't like Nigerians, it was like they were the most corrupt nation in Africa - I had a friend that lived in Ghana and they thought the same.

weird.

Dja see Syl on Claire Byrne last night? His accuser seems to have had practically zero grounds for making the accusation, whatever motivated her, maybe a personality disorder at the back of it for all we know. He mentioned about not being able to be employed during the prolonged legal process by his friend, Joe.

I’m outraged. Just back from pharmacy to collect my monthly stoma supplies & medicines €186, the excess being for cleaning swabs which need to be used at €5 a pop. Now there’s something I could phone Joe about. Outrageous cost at €11 for a packet of swabs, with between 1 & 2 packets being used per week. Talk about Versatis; you simply cannot exist without the costly swabs and they are NOT covered by the maximum monthly medicines charge, and have gone up in cost.

My recent trip to beautiful Namibia taught me how opposite in almost every way that an average Namibian is from an average Nigerian. Now I’m being racist.

De voirus is quite racist AND sexist AND baldist. It affects people of colour wurser dan whoites, men wurser dan wimmen, bald men wurser dan de well-thatched, and it discriminates against de disabled & aged. An elderly bald dark-skinned man with disability is very vulnerable to a lethal racist attack by it.

I assume that the Irish protesters against racism will carry placards stating that ‘BLUE LIVES MATTER’.

I told this on a thread here somewhere before in a similar context.

Back in the early 70s we got our first TV. One evening the father came running into the kitchen, shouting, "Come here quick. There's a n****er on the telly".

Tomorrow Joe speaks to Bernie in Clontarf, live from her liquid lunch:

By the looks of things I'm going to be spending most of the next few months in Tipperary, the ancestoral home, as they say, so to speak. Been about 5 years since Shane was here. Wouldn't mind a serenade from him myself. I have to go and see him these days. Mountain and Mohammad and all that
