That Deceased Russian Gentleman

Think most of what you write falls into the irrelevant category Wildman , and its downright boring as well.
Save your energy and dont bother, nobody really cares.

The government are no longer even trying to hide their contempt for the no side. Aodhan O Riordan's appearance on tv last weekend was a brazen sign that he believes this referendum is already won and he is now moving on to the next battle in their attempt to destroy the social fabric of the country.

The shameful funding cut to Accord's maraige guidance courses were another signal to no voters that anything but following the consnsus will not be tolerated. Democracy has been set back 50 years in this country through by the actions of this government.

If a YES vote is returned how much will effect the No side in there every day to day lives? Very little would imagine .

forgive me for asking but is this about gay marriage?..is Ireland having a referendum on the issue?

Yes Tony.

Another top class post Wildman, you are on form today, have a Guinness on me. Good man

I,d be surprised if it passed in Ireland?..but I may be wrong..

According to the polls they have a 77% chance of getting it passed , though they got it badly wrong across the pond recently..

77% wr but the undecideds are a huge factor,a big % of them will vote no i think..my prediction is 55% /45% yes..

Be the hokey, the 5/1 still is available in the bookies, despite the latest Opinion Poll suggesting it is going to the wire.

Thee will be some amount of pints drunk in Kilnaskully if NO weighs in.

Where are ye getting this 77% from...that a long way out of date.

It'll be passed alright Tony,lot of money thrown at it and the media is very pro yes.

Wildman says there's been a lot of money on it pa,..and like other votes money matters..you only have to see what we put up with over here 80%of press are in the pocket of Murdoch and the tories,..but im genuinely surprised that Ireland will pass it....we were happy enough with civil partnerships..they got equal rights in law..(which is right) but then Cameron pushed it and it passed....have to say..the world is the same..but I do understand people's apprehension..

Impression i get Tony if you don't vote yes there is something wrong with you,you are viewed as backward and homophobic,a bit of pressure to vote that way is my opinion

very sorry to hear that pa..im not trying to say yes or no but people should be able to vote without feeling pressure..i suppose its the younger people in Ireland that will vote yes..it seems the younger are more likely..

We have 166 elected members of our Parliment ,not ONE of themhave come out and said vote NO , every single one of them , yes I know its hard to believe , are saying VOTE YES .The good thing is people are starting to ask themselves , when have the Government ever been so UNITED on something , its starting to SMELL ...

not one wr?

theres 6 wr,,,  between dail and seanad  lots of minor celebritys who have no business commenting one way or the other advocating a yes vote..nauseating really!!

Are you thinking what I am thinking , Wonks?

That The George is after dropping off a few complimentary kegs of beer in the Dail Bar?

or a few slabs of BUMlers?..sorry bulmers..

seriously though ..that's very surprising..i think this may have more to do with how Ireland looks to the outside world? European law rights etc...I may be wrong but if its being whitewashed threw then it has to be political..

Not bad, Kavvie, not bad!

Lads , Was at the game the other night plenty of your lot looking glum Norma , offering the leaflets too the youngters who walked by , its squeeky bum time methinks , don't get to excited , but I think we'll come from behind..

Speaking of The George, was in town with a few lads one Sunday afternoon aged 15 or so, looking to see where we could get served pints.

God Bless us, where did we land, in all our innocence, but The George.  They seemed delighted to see us   Anyway, it was in the days of the Holy Hour or whatever it was called, when the bars shut for an hour on Sunday, but they told us, no bother lads, just slip on up those stairs there....you can drink away upstairs.

By this stage some of us were a bit uneasy, they were somehow over-accommodating and we made our escape.  Innocent times.

You've been Knocking on the door ever since though .

a lot of lads went in the back door in the george over the years..

you should have retired with 'Bumlers', Kavvie.

maybe!!
