The amount of otherwise decent people on here who are supporting Catherine Connolly, while pretending the entire incident with the penguin in BusΓ‘ras didn’t happen.

Catherine Connolly breeds seagulls and trains them how to rob sandwiches and chips, then releases them into Stephens Green

Catherine Connolly laughed so hard at an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys that she had to rewind it a few minutes "because she missed the next few jokes from laughing so hard".

AND it was one of the later episodes.
