Thatcher is gone

:eek:

Three women. Mairegancairde, Cailinlochgarman and TigerTopps.

Did you ride all 3 of them pal?

Weren’t the last two actually men though?

Tiger is a lady from Wexford who’s very close to becoming a golf pro - playing off close to scratch, doing exams etc. I think somebody decided she was an alias and the majority went with that and bullied poor Tiger off the forum.

That’s a very sad story. Poor Tiger.

It was proven beyond reasonable doubt that Tiger was infact Bandage posting under an alias

Any chance Frilly could come back or did Locke scare her off the time he dropped the paw?

Which one of ye dropped the hand?

I think Dunph and Cailinlochgarman have eloped

This unhelpful and unfounded accusation of admins creating aliases does nothing for the forum’s integrity. I urge you to withdraw your comment.

You will not silence the truth

Most likely she murdered him.

[quote=“mickee321, post: 759744, member: 367”]can someone please surmise for me briefly what Thatcher did so wrong make her such a hate figure?
I understand her position in regard to NI politics would not be to the agreement of Nationalists up there but was she really any different to any Tory PM that went before her?. The ra tried to kill FFS, what they expect in return?.

Its rather odd but sadly unexpected seeing the Oirish leftist, working class , British red top reading masses getting all hot and bothered about her attitude to British trade union culture, poll tax, closing down coal mines in northern england, the fucking Scottish economy and her stance on soccer violence… if Thatcher ever wanted any proof that Paddy was controlled by what goes on in Westminister then this is it… maybe this should be her legacy in relation to Ireland
At least the likes Paul O’Connell MBE, O’Gara, etc who will line out for the British Lions , Art Foley, Mac and others of similar ilk publically display their loyalty to the crown shamelessly, the likes of these cunts drinking Carling black label in front of Sky Sports news , crying about Hillsborough and talking about the “bitch who closed the mine” are worse and even more servile, they’re just afraid to admit it

Its a pity Ireland never had a Taoiseach with the balls Thatcher had, she rightly told Europe to go fuck itself ( even tho it eventually led to her political demise) . As a British nationalist and someone who demonstrated respect for Britain in foreign policy matters she could not be questioned, and frankly i have no idea why it bothers anyone in Ireland

the fact that her death is so widely covered and almost celebrated in ireland is a symbol how the island is just an extension of britain, Paddy can breathe a sigh of relief now and will celebrate because “the bitch” is dead…

Sometimes you’d wonder why the likes of Bobby Sands sat starving in his own shit if he knew what was really going on or would happen if he got the freedom he so desired, maybe its just as well NI remains under British rule, at least then the nationalist community will have some concept of what it means to be irish because some of their brethern down south are more british and influenced by John Bull then their orange neighbours…
Maybe its only possible to be Irish if you feel oppressed by another govenerment?, maybe irish people are not meant to rule themselves which is why the government here look to Europe for guidance and your average government hating Joe Soap looks to the EPL and Murdoch media all the time convincing himself that he hates the Brits, but w/o them would be nothing…[/quote]

anyone care to address the question in bold?

I believe that in the fullness of time Baroness Thatcher’s conclusion that “a tanked up mob” were responsible for this insolence will be proven to be correct

Is there any topic that Limerick people can’t relate to the 1996 All Ireland Hurling Final, which Wexford won? Here’s one - North Korea - knock yourselves out, like what Liam Dunne should have done to the fat cunt that day instead of a tiny ickle love tap on his ickle finger. Soft harmless cunts, fuck off…

Try that again Fitzy before I declare you an angst ridden fucker.

No angst here at all Boxty, I’m still celebrating '96. The angst appears not to have diminished in Luimneach however…

[SIZE=10px]Former defence secretary Dr Liam Fox, Lady Thatcher’s closest ally in modern-day politics, said: ‘I think it would be both surprising and disappointing if after President Obama’s fulsome tribute to Lady Thatcher, the American administration did not send a senior serving member to represent them.’[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10px]Last night police in London were under pressure to crack down on plans to insult the memory of Lady Thatcher at the funeral.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10px]Hundreds of protesters have pledged to turn their backs as her coffin travels through Central London.[/SIZE]
