AKA Peter Metalli. 20,000 roads I've been down down down and they all led me straight back to Ireland Love cosmic American music, Ireland, good cheese & chocolate! Currently learning to play the bodhrán (badly). Often by a river watching boats go by!

Except that is not whataboutism, it’s hypocrisy.

The big problem is that the Iranian spokesperson has a valid point. If the Islamic Revolutionary Guard are deemed terrorists, why not the IDF?

Played into their hands there.

But they will have the tools to prosecute. At the moment the GS hands are tied.

Thank you.

What a shame though that it took the death of a beautiful young girl to get us there.

No consolation to her family and friends at the moment I’m sure but at least a legacy of which they can be proud of her in decades to come.

‘Meat tax’ could have significant impact on environmental footprint, study finds Full VAT on meat products could cost EU households as little as €26 a year but cut impact by 3-6%, says paper The environmental impacts of meat consumption could be rapidly and cheaply reduced if governments applied full VAT on products such as beef, pork, lamb and chicken, a study has shown. Depending on how the additional tax revenues were redistributed, such a change could cost households as little as €26 (£23) a year, while cutting ecological destruction by between 3% and 6%, the paper found.

And the longer you are married, the more you value a person who accepts/laughs at the same shit every time!

My wife (of 35 years) said to me the other day that it is like we are living in an episode of The Fast Show, with the same old one liners/jokes. And she meant it in a POSITIVE way! 😉🤣🤣

It’s so frustrating to watch this though. The legal system is proving him with chance after chance because the it must be seen to be doing the right thing and he is just taking the piss every time.

Just one reason why I could never be a judge. My patience would have been exhausted a long time ago.

Indeed. Why did the judge let him out yet again? IMO it’s beginning to look like there might be some mental health issues there now.

In any case, totally unacceptable behaviour for school kids (and school staff) to have to witness/endure every day.

WTF did the judge think would happen?

Lock him up, start seizing his assets and just stop reporting on him. He thrives on the publicity. Don’t feed it to him.

Anything by Marty Pillow…

Or zero effort on these:
Lay Down Sally - Clapton
Holiday - Madonna
Five Minutes - Gretchen Peters
Sleeping - The Band
Lay Down - The Strawbs

Or minimal effort:
Doze Your Mother Know? - ABBA.

What, even if it was Ricky Gervais’ or Jim Davidson? 😉

Oh sorry, stupid question. Davidson would never get one! 🤦‍♂️

Need to make gigs more enjoyable then. Bands are often great but since lockdown audiences suck. Ban camera phones (the back screens at least), always provide at least SOME seating (older people generally have more disposable income) and no standing in those areas and ALWAYS sell Guinness (in glass)

Happy Christmas to all of you who celebrate it.

And very best wishes to anyone out there who is not feeling it or who struggles with this time of year for whatever reason; the new year is only a few days away and who knows what opportunities that will bring.

The future has not yet been written!

What a lovely thing to do from some great musicians.

Bono too, to be fair.

I think you might have to narrow that down shit more.

Just completely ban phones ( at least until the encore) and then WE will start coming again. I want to see a band LIVE not through 300 different fecking screens going off every minute.

May you dance the night away forever. 😉

Thank you for the music.

Ultimately why Friends Reunited failed.

People didn’t want to KEEP in touch with school friends they’d LOST touch with.

25% just wanted to shag “the one that got away” and the rest just wanted to gloat about their successes in life.

Once that was done, everyone moved on to IG.
