Kevin myers- an alright sort

Believe what you want. But that credo is another change of the goalposts, so to speak.

where is the change in the goalposts pal? you are getting awfully upset over all of this.

Rodney Huddleston, Introduction to the Grammar of English (1984), p 144:

ā€œThis evidently does not entail that Kim is not now able to speak French ā€“ nor that she is: it tells us something about what situation obtained at a particular period in the pastā€.

I am not getting upset at all. Nor am I responsible for your obtuseness. Before, you said any such story had to be made up. Now, you are conceding there were issues with A vs B games but that you do not believe a player would have made any such remark rather than the remark being inherently ridiculous.

Capiche, as someone is inclined, lately, to say?

What is the emoticon for being risibly off the mark? Do tell.

I do know that in String Theory they speak of risible blunders as ā€œnot even wrongā€.

I tell you what, you might just repost the post where I said the story had to be made up. then show the post where I changed the goalposts. I think you may be confusing me with the vast hoards of people you are battling with on here since you joined the site.

There are graceless concessions and there are graceless concessions. Run along now. You must have an awful lot of communications with acquaintances to audit.

full of bluster and noise, again. Telling me to run along when you cant even stand behind your own argument!

Anyway lads. Whats the verdict on Kevin Myers?

A gee bag. He spent his whole life wanting to be a tan and now theyā€™ve all but murdered him.

Someone threw his name up in the holocaust denier thread which I assumed was a piss take but it turns out in the past he has actually done just that.

Also said something along the lines that Africa has given the world nothing but AIDS. :fearful:

Seems a cunt but I always liked him on Challenging Times as he made shit of Turlough from UCG when he got some answer wrong.

Did you sign up here to defend a piece of shoe shit article? :smile:

Ah yeah, the Tipp perspectiveā€¦ Mind you, it is not mise going for a shit-eating grin as self image. God bless the Clare lads, helping Tipp men feel righteous since 1994.

Esteeming certain individuals must be rather like being a leperā€™s valet.

Sharp talking from a serious gobshite. Carry on :popcorn:

Your parents paid to educate you, after a fashion. There is no obligation on me in this regard. For me, educating Tipp men is a bit like passive smoking, an unintended consequence of othersā€™ unpleasant habits.

I had a fag with Myers, we chatted amiably although I was more than a little drunk at the time, then he had me removed from the studio a few minutes later for being a little wxubetant in my support for ā€˜collegeā€™ back in the day.
Thereā€™s two pluses for him.

You wonā€™t educate me, Iā€™d find myself nodding off reading your inane cliche riddled articles alright.
