I'm not having a go, just curious.
 
 
No, I don't. I find the games incredibly boring to watch, sure you can't even see the ball properly in hurling and both sports consist of launching the ball as far as possible mixed with pulling and dragging.
The biggest problem is that you can hardly say that without gasps of disbelief from Irish people, like you have just suggested paedophilia should be encouraged.
 
Careful now. That shouldn't be joked about around here.
 
 
Who is joking? I thought it was a reasonable analogy!

The only difference here is when you post up you’re opinion no smart arse can come back and say - sorry this is the unpopular opinion thread

Musicals - people randomly bursting into song and dance routines when out and about. Nonsense.
Modern rap and rnb - vacuous sh*te.
Celebrity culture - If you spend your life trying to convince people you're a celebrity, then I'm afraid you aren't one.
Social media - turning a generation of people into empty headed self obsessed arseholes.

Like I said, I wouldn't necessarily call it sh*te or bad in any way. But I've never really used it or felt any great need to start.

Quite simple really. People from near the mountains enjoy skiing, people from elsewhere, nearly to a person don't. They do enjoy telling people they do and about how they can afford a cabin in the Alps.
