    They are regarded as mechanically propelled vehicles and would therefore require insurance, if they were legalised.

    Put the instructions on the blooming pack or on their website, not pre watershed primetime TV slots.
    What next? Toilet paper ads showing you how to wipe your ar#e??!! Condom ads showing you how to put them on??!!

    Would it not be the young teenage girls who are watching pre-watershed that best need to be educated with the ad? :confused: Would have no problem with condom ads either as it happens if it saves some young people a lot of grief. There was nothing graphic in the tampon ad, I'm sure they could do the same for condoms.

    I'm embarrassed that there's still this kind of a weird taboo about periods in Ireland, the Catholic Church has lost its power but that shame about women's bodies still endures to this day it seems. Why something that impacts on girls as young as 11 or 11 should be put past the watershed seems a bit nonsensical unless we're saying here that adult men can't seem to deal with the fact that women have periods. I'd love to get a profile on the 80 something complainants, something tells me it's the god squad.

    I dont know if it's a nationwide thing, but there are some seriously lazy sons of b#tches at my local aldi & lidl stores!
    Everytime I go to either, there are complete aholes that park right up on top of & around the entrance doors! Even though there are loads of parking spaces a few meters away ffs!
    They had to install bollards around the entrances but that made no differ as the idiots park outside that again!
    I cannot understand it, it makes getting out with a trolley extremely akward especially when they block the ramps & trying to control kids springing out between these cars straight out onto the driving lanes..

    Only catching the tale end of it but Laura Whitmore has got herself in a Twitter storm after being on a podcast about Women in British Army and then posting about John Hume in around the same day.

    At worst, I would say it was probably not great timing on the tweet about John Hume but the total overreaction by the vast majority is a symptom of the crazy culture that is out there now.

    Havent noticed large amounts of outside the door parkers in Aldi or Lidl here (oh there are some of course)

    but, one think I have noticed several times is that both car parks are literally bumber car rinks. People seem to lose the ability to check if its clear to reverse out of a spot. The old "slap her in reverse and floor it.....sure they will avoid me" mentality is rife

    For some reason that reminds me of Sopranos episode when Lydia drives over her friend she'd dropped off at home. Looks backwards out the window to reverse but it goes forward & into her friend !! :)
    A driving instructor once told me ALWAYS endeavour to reverse into a parallel parking spot. Awkward though if you have a trolley of shopping to put in boot..

    ooh ooh another car parking one......

    Reversing into a spot, and having some rally driver pull into the spot behind your one, driving through and into the one you were going into, so they can drive out rather than reverse.

    Should be legally allowed wait for those fuckers to get out, clock em with the door, then mount them on the bonnet

    I had a long post written about this, but instead I'll just say... the protestors outside the NMH should be locked up before serious harm befalls them.

    Tobin is a dog whistling shitbag. Against abortion,fair enough. But this is scumbag behaviour and he knows the type of crowd that movement attracts,knows he needs to keep as many of them on board as possible,so he got the dog whistle out. Wants a "mature conversation about immigration", but try and find out what his party's immigration policy is. Doesn't have one.
