*Sigh* I'm a hypocritical f!!ker. Why? Well, many reasons. Let's keep to the relevant ones. I know that, by at least next may, I'm gonna have joined facebook to keep in touch with all my college friends on a regular bases. Txting/phoning is too expensive. See!!! At least I admit my hypocrisy. Oh, the shame......

^^ lol "social networking sites improving social skills" that i like!

I do truly detest social networking sites. There's NOTHING "SOCIAL" ABOUT EM! You're sitting at home alone at the computer - or taking up a valuable one in college that other people, like me, need to access to print off documents for courses - "chatting" and practically anyone can see what you're saying. Its the death of privacy. Or of real social interaction. To my mind, they represent a viral infection. You have to have 100s of friends - with the exception of two or three dozen or so, you don't know any of the rest, they're just total strangers who you've "friended." The B.S. of it just astounds me. Those of us who don't like it are definitely in the minority, but, screw it, that tends to happen in history. Those sites scream, and the people who are ADDICTED to them, scream "Validate me, Validate me! If I don't "friend" I don't exist! Look at me! LOOK AT ME!!!" So sad. So, so sad. Well, f**k it, could be totally wrong, but that's my two cents.

wow, thanx man :)

@jc90 sorry, bein a latecomer and all, my head is still twirling!

so...the links are where? :) edit: thanks for doin this :)

ok thanxx!

whoa. what in hell is goin on?

@Twizted Logik - terrible, terrible thing to call an autobot. shameful :P @RICK8 - mutated leprecahauns? sounds like a good idea for a new marvel comic book Anyone else find it funny that as soon as an actual Irish person comes on the thread dies? What, did I kill the mystique??

If I am, I'm one f*cking tall one, mate ;)

You ladies and gentlemen seem to have some pretty odd ideas about us. In truth, the leprachaun population once roamed the mighty forests of the land free and wild. They were not too compatible with the European Celts who arrived c. 300 BC. The leprechaun population was ultimately forcing to share camping sites with the displaced immigrant Viking population. Today, sadly none remain, although with the recent harsh economic downturn many people are searching for their gold and are seeking to prove ancestory so as to claim the contents. Or, y'know, just nick it. If anyone has any other qs, feel free to ask. PS And I really don't see how this could be racist. We make a living out of taking the mick out of ourselves. Don't worry 'bout it. :)

Hey, don't forget about THE DUBLINERS, they played that live a few times, then it disappeared. LRLRL was the perfect opportunity to release it, and it was only like 1:30mins so it would have come out under 42mins. Agh!!

Yep, but worth it!;) And BUMP cos this thread deserves to be on Page 1:D

Okay, UNFORTUNATELY Chris De Burgh (heh, almost typed "bilge") is Irish so, on behalf of all Irish Coldplay fans and, by extension, all those who love great music, I am empowered to say to De Burgh F*CK YOU! You're a lousy musician and no self-respecting Irish person would be caught dead with any of your so-called "songs" on an iPod or other MP3 player. There, rant (though necessary) over. :smug:

"U2No1bandintheworld" - dude, when you say that, you can't just count people from all the old folks homes in the world. There's a great big world outside of 'em. Btw, "No Line..." has underperformed, selling a lot less copies in Oz and around the world than they hoped. They're no longer "No. 1" :) :P
