‘was’ should have been ‘of’
I did but I was too polite to pull you up on it until @anon61878697 said you were calling me a gomey prick

Sound. I was not – and I would not. I was merely claiming ‘obscurantist’ was the perfect adjective in context. I still think it is. Fair?
I am also obsessed with hyphen usage.

absolutely fair.

Ireland needs European guidance to protect us from our own. Can you imagine the absolute carnage that would have occurred if you let politicians like Noonan, Kenny, Cowan call all the shots?

When @chocolatemice was working in a bar in Canada many years back - he took a camera belonging to two American females, up visiting Halifax for a few days, into the jacks while they were out smoking. They had left it on the counter and choco the weirdo went in and took 5 / 6 snaps of his hammer and ball sack.

I don’t think anyone here doubts that happened.

Macro photography is a difficult art to master. Fair play to you.

Back in my Korean phase an English friend of mine passed out the bar in the small hours. A Canadian lad bet me about $10 to take his pint into the jacks, piss in it and then give it back to him and wake him up. I did all that and he drank it but the Canadian wouldn’t pay up. Canadians are a fine bunch but I don’t like that tightness in them.

I’ve no doubt it happens. I’ve seen it done myself but it’s very much a rugby thing.
You don’t seem overly fond of your English friends either

Canadians are pointless. Outside of trying too hard to tell all and sundry they aren’t Americans they have no either redeeming or repulsive features . Bland .

A lot of them are like that but this lad’s parents were both nationalists from rural Antrim and he was pretty cool.
Macron has just thrown the boot in.
