If a Cork person sees someone who looks very like them, us it their doppelLanger?

What would that riff in Everything Dies sound like on a 7-string, where Kenny Hickey wouldn't have to run out of lower frets on the fretboard.

Stock markets. Volatility in the stock market. How that affects the regular Joe. How one person can affect the whole thing due to actions and inactions. How one person can affect the lives of millions.

It'd nearly inspire one to attempt self-sufficiency.

How the fuck can a rocket take off in this day and age and the videos from the launch are shite?

[Bürggermeister]

All fucken digital 1s and 0s, man, no soul, no fucken low end. Only analogue launches are real.


Apart from the faked ones, of course!

Some lad just ran a sub-two-hour London marathon, and still came in second.

Like Liverpool getting 97 points in a season and still finishing second. Sometimes fate just says no.

Mad story alright, but I'd say he has a few wins to look forward to: was his first competitive marathon!

In a race for the ages, Sabastian Sawe of Kenya won the London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds on Sunday, shattering the previous men's world record by an astonishing 65 seconds.

"What comes today is not for me alone," the 29-year-old Sawe said, "but for all of us today in London."

Just 11 seconds further back was Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, who — running in his first-ever marathon — also covered the 26.2-mile (42.2-kilometer) course in under 2 hours.

Was in the folks gaf this morning and Euronews was on the TV.

Some euro wan presenter was having a conversation with a politician lad called Bernd Lange, but she kept addressing him as 'Mr. Langer', completely unaware of it's connotation. I wonder was it a genuine mistake, or did a fella from Cork give her the wrong name on purpose

Kier Starmer seems to be getting an awful bollocking in the UK for the state of the UK, I couldn't give a fuck either way but I think he's been hard done by as the current shitshow was partially contributed to the Tories and Farage with Brexit, Covid, Johnson, Truss etc etc and he's being made scapegoat to clean up the mess. Granted he has fucked up a bit himself but if I was him I'd tell them all to fuck off, resign and let the armchair know it all's take over and see how far they get.

If, re the bollocking he's getting, I may paraphrase the utter cock himself: "I think the armchair know it alls do have that right"
