If MickJagger Or Tom Jones or Rod Stewart come out as gay then yeah it'd be a shock, schofield...I honestly couldn't give a ****, which I suppose is the correct reaction Jagger's bisexual, pretty widely documented. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To imagine you can look at anyone and their previous media reported exploits and ‘know’ their inner self, is a bit weird. I think there’s still a bit of thinking that there are only a small number of defined sexualities and once you pick your one shelf that’s you done. It’s clearly more of a sliding scale moveable target for some. For me, up until now, I have been wonderfully comfortably vanilla in the nicest possible way. I count myself as lucky that one partner suits me and my normal fits in with societies norms. It’s a convenient way to go through life. From personal experience I’ve witnessed the pointless weirdness other people can encounter for not being in the main standard pigeonhole. 3 of us booked 2 rooms in a hotel in York. When we arrived, a male and two females for some reason they presumed we were m/f couple in double room, single female in single room. Mine was the single room, but the bother it caused, it was like it was the first time the hotel had ever encountered a gay couple. To say we were made to feel unwelcome was an understatement. It was supposed to be 3 nights, we stayed for 1 and moved. Similarly, there’s a trans gender person comes to the football. I’m one of the few people that will talk to them because clearly a lot of others at the football seam to think that either its contagious or they could get bummed. This weird presumption from ugly smelly average blokes at the footy that gays and trans folk might find them sexually irresistible. It’s quite funny really. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American and Israeli back-doors cause all kinds of problems. VillaTalk is hosted in the US and as far as I can tell didn't suffer an outage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Right, the exit poll from RTE has FF, FG & SF tied on 22% each. Can any of our Irish VT’ers explain how this shakes out now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any of our Irish VT’ers explain how this shakes out now? Sinn Fein have hugely overperformed nut didn't run enough candidates (42), I'd expect around 25-30 seats Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have both ran 84 and 82 respectively but will both probably be in the 40s seat wise with FF likely to finish ahead. The other left wing parties will do well on the large surpluses from SF so some better representation there. Numerous options for government but I'd say it might be either a grand coalition with FF/FG (unprecedented in what was historically a 2 1/2 party system with Labour dying a death) or another confidence and supply agreement with the support of some independents and greens. If there is another election later in the year SF will improve again and run more candidates. There will be some mararthon counts tomorrow and Monday before the picture becomes fully clear but it will be enjoyable for political nerds.

Unlikely, unless FG finish ahead of FF in seats which probably won't happen as there should be a slight swing. https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/irish-politics/irish-general-election/government-after-next-election-must-have-at-least-1-minister-to-be-considered-part-of-government The odds give some representation of the possible outcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I just sold all my CD's for $80. Pathetic. But about all I could realistically get for about 200 banged up discs with cases that are falling apart. At least the buyer liked my taste in music. Time marches on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sinn Fein likely to be the most popular party although have ran far too few candidates. 20 years ago they only had one TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
