I love this verse:

Your neighbour’s poor, and you, it seems, are big with vain ideas,
Because, inagh! you’ve got three cows - one more,! see, than she has.
That tongue of yours wags more at times than Charity allows,
But if you’re strong, be merciful, great Woman of Three Cows!


You readers from lower backgrounds might not understand what the word "inagh"
means. It is the gaelic word for daughter. "inion". It should read in Bearla
"Because daughter, you've got three cows"

It was common the address a woman as daughter.

Well that may be true but by the same yardstick, who does.

I sensed that he is more Sovereign Individual than anything else. He is on high intellect as I would expect from anyone with a degree in Engineering from UCG.

Like myself.

The man is his worst enemy. Starts out reasonable then within minutes turns loony tunes.
That is no way to engage our opponents - keep a cool head and debate with arguments like adults.
Guys like that make us all look like swivel- eyed loons.
When engaging with normies one must use nice polite normie speak.

Speaking of normals and the war in Ukraine, and although I only ever read it once in a blue moon, I see that the Kangalese is begging on the other site to be let back in here again

I always thought that it was funny when he went to the other site, he took one look around it and immediately realised that there was absolutely no chance of any discussion with the 50 IQ losers who post there (and promptly left)

Poor guy, he has nowhere to post, maybe @Declan will take pity on him 🤔

I can always put the Ukraine thread back in my trash bin although if @Wolf starts his stalk/slander routine again then I think that he* should be banned
