Dave...you just wrote the truest thing in history of the internet, congrats.

Who the hell thinks Back To The Future ISNT a sci-fi movie? It has time travel! What kind of moronic question is that.

Please settle a debate: Is Back to the Future a sci-fi movie?

Many NI people identify as being British. (That is, after all, a key reason why Ulster didn’t join the rest of Ireland when it became independent in the 20s.) That might not seem rational (as it’s based on history, legacy, feeling, rather than economic self-interest) but it’s compelling and relevant.

Well, the thing is, though, the Republic will be no safe harbour in the event of a Hard Brexit. Our economy is comparatively very small and is still recovering from the crash. Britain is one of our largest trading partners and the forecasts suggest that in the event of a HB, we may end up feeling the effects more than…

And, also, we don’t frankly have the money in the Republic to fund re-unification. It would probably sink us economically so it’s not like joining the Republic would insulate NI from Brexit. If it’s not a move from the frying pan into the fire, then it’s at least a lateral move into the frying pan next door.

My boss is N Irish and I just remember the day after the referendum she made comments about how there was a time when you just didn’t talk to your neighbours about which “side” you were on for fear of drawing an invisible line between you. She did not seem happy about the prospect of a return to those times.

Thank you and as I just wrote to another commenter, even as an Irish person, the fact that I was only 13 when the GFA came into effect and I’m from the Republic not the North, I still feel on the outside somewhat. Don’t get me wrong, the Troubles were something I was aware of (more than aware of - it was just the…

It was actually your post that reminded me Lyra McKee is not the first death that can be attributed to Brexit - thank you for the reminder, my only regret is I’d forgotten.

Snap, think we posted similar points around the same time, only your perspective from actually being Irish is really valuable.

I really wish there was a peaceful resolution but there was (GFA) and it’s been absolutely shat on. Mostly I’m furious about Brexit. David Cameron’s hubris, the racist Xenophobic UKIPers, the lies peddled and believed, and the absolute ignorance of the North and its borders. Northern Ireland is part of the United…

I don’t comment around here much any more - for many reasons - but honestly I find your comment galling and couldn’t fight the urge to reply. Though for the record, I’m not interested in comment section spats so that’s not what this is.

Orrr there should never have been a such a flippant, ill-defined referendum on something that the majority of the public had no clue about which directly contravened a peace treaty which had already been put to a referendum and had a definitive mandate.

At the stadium you could get away with it, and as you said, be spotted as a tourist, going into a pub is another matter...I wonder if there’s an equivalent in another sport. It doesn’t seem to matter much outside the UK, or maybe people care less. But I can’t see trying the same thing in say, Turkey. I imagine that…

Not as much as you have inside your three day old underwear.  

GAHHHHHHH

She’s right. It’s disgusting. Regardless of whether or not you “soil” your undergarments (seriously?) or they smell bad, you still have bacteria and fecal matter in your underwear.  

It’s soccer in England. I’m going to say probably.

Never been to an EPL game but I would certainly assume if I went to a Man U pub, in Manchester, just before the occasion of one such game, wearing a goofy-ass “both sides” scarf I clearly just bought in a room full of hardcore fans getting drunk, I wouldn’t be leaving without that scarf at the very least getting some…

Eh... I mean, I did feel some of this yesterday, for sure. But I found the whole experience more bittersweet than anything else. Like, when I rooted for Tiger 1.0, I was simpler, Tiger was simpler, the world was simpler. Tiger was a force of nature with little personal backstory behind “his dad made him do golf stuff…
