- The Indo have a nice little oxegen planner, where you pick all the acts you want to see and it draws up your own little timetable for the possibly all three at once mud/underage shenanigans/tent burning extravagansa.
- Head Rambles goes after global warming, armed with what seems like only a fist full of retardedness. Maybe it’s all just hilarity, who knows, it’s lost on me. If he actually believes any of what he wrote, then I suggest How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic.
- If the boards admins got a penny for every thread with “I’m not a racist but…” they might be very rich indeed.
- Kevin Myers, ever the shock-jock: Africa is giving nothing to anyone — apart from AIDS.
- Dublin and Cork will be ok, everyone else fucked by recession?
- This guy should write a book, or twenty six of them. He’s that good.
- Sellafield decommissioning to take over 100 years. Nice.

I love that the boards guy’s response to being called a racist is “Hardly, I have 6 african cousins”. Some of my best friends…
In a similar vein, this blog is endlessly hilarious.
Nice link on How To Talk to Climate Skeptic.
Also, I cannot go on boards.ie for more than 10 minutes without wanting to smash my face against the keyboard and weep for this country.
“a fist full of retardedness“??
While I frequently disagree with others opinions, I wouldn’t stoop to offensive language.
You quote Coby Beck in your support. I quote [from their own info]: “Classically trained musician, turns tree planter, turns software engineer. Same old story…”
Some expert?
But its ok to call Mary Harney fat and bloated?
Facts are facts. She is overweight [which normally I would not comment on but she is supposed to be Minister for Health].
Grandad, over on your site you’ve started linking to articles backing up claims that climate change is caused by the sun.
Why are you so good at believing the opinions of experts you agree with and not believing the experts who’s results conflict with your own point of view?

Isn’t that weird? That all those organisations are wrong and involved in the conspiracy/lies/cover up/whatever?
Bleh, could that comment be more of a mess. Apologies, don’t seem to be able to make it clearer.
I seem to have hit a nerve somewhere?
Actually, I only did one link in response to point. I think that’s fair without going overboard. Looking at your list above, could you be protesting too much?
I could enter into a link war but I don’t see the point. If you start your argument with gratuitous insults, then I don’t expect much of a fight.
You can hide behind the gratuitous insults defense all you want, still doesn’t stop your opinion being utterly wrong and altogether uninformed.
Pathetic. I love the cliché ridden response above “Hit a nerve” “protesting too much” … LOL. Come on, try harder. This is the internets, I can’t believe we haven’t reached godwins law yet.
JB: seems like his post was more about a cynicism toward governments using climate change to raise taxes than anything else. At the same time, you cannot beat the old “Facts are facts” defence
Typical isn’t it. I take a blogging break and I miss out on doing a WAR!! post. Ok, so I know it’s been done before already but still…
I can’t believe we haven’t reached godwins law yet.
I do believe the Nazi’s were invoked in comment 6 of the post on Head Rambles….
