Interesting. Can't really see you working there. Women were always too embarrassed in person but now online porn is approaching 50/50. When people can be anonymous...they are much more up for it and it has made people out in the Van Nuys/Chattsworth crap section of LA a fortune.
So were you ever like "Nigel says Black Hookers 2 is a best bet for today."

A piece of information I only found out this evening has absolutely blown my mind.
For years, it was frowned upon that any protestant would play Gaelic Football.
The All-Ireland championship is the biggest tournament in the sport. The trophy is named after a protestant man, Sam Maguire.
This may be common knowledge to a lot of people, but that little nugget has just left me with a sore head.
Frowned upon within the GAA or within the protestant community? I had no idea, a fair few protestants in our part of world certainly played GAA.

Within the GAA in my experience anyway.

What was the cause of you finding this out?
I've never heard it being frowned upon in Dublin or anywhere really any way at all!
I played with a guy with Liffey Gaels whose dad was from Milford and had moved to Chapelizod ca. 1993. Never an issue and it never cropped up. In fact it was never commented upon amongst the dads of the club etc.
Chapelizod has 2 National Schools. At the time they were called Chapelizod NS No. 1 and Chapelizod NS No. 2 and on his first day of training I asked where he went and he said Chapelizod and as I went to Chapelizod NS I was naturally excited to have a team-mate as a classmate then only to be rather disappointed that I found out that he went to the "other" (No2-COI) school. And I was the one with the better left foot.
Ballyfermot had a few COI families in the club and in fact despite going to the RC school we had a number of Methodist and Baptist pupils and again they had no issue playing GAA.
I know it's only a microcosm, but in my 30 years of playing and then watching GAA I only ever recall one incident of proper sectarian abuse and it was towards that Darren Graham of Fermanagh about 10 years ago (though I know there have been more) and I have never heard any sort of "Hill16 for Fenians Only" sort of attitude from ANYONE, fan or otherwise! (That's obviously not including the "hilarious", "What's it like to have a Queen?" chants you used to here to any fans from FATDAD came South to play.) But you get what I mean...
In fact I've been bringing a filthy black Prod loyalist mate of mine to Croker the best part of 4 years now. He's well in tune with the greening of his mind.
In fact my formative years in the early 90s had a Protestant President of the GAA and e constantly talked about Douglas Hyde as a the Patron of the Association in history. So it never would have cropped up re Prods and the Gah in a negative light. I'm actually gonna ask a couple of heads that I know from mixed towns in Tyrone out of curiosity what the attitude was like for Protestants to play for their clubs.
Different story when it related to rule 21 of course however at the time.
But yeah, curious to know what happened that brought this up?

Interesting that BS. Would assume it's different backgrounds and all that. Dublin having a much more mixed community might have helped that.
Personally, growing up as CoI playing GAA in my own club, it was frowned upon by a lot of people that I'd have got a place in the team ahead of anyone. My parents regularly experienced hearing people comment on it on the sidelines, something I only largely found out about in the past few years to any extent, but knew it was there in the back of my head all along.
Playing in the team, I used to get asked stupid things like whether I supported Rangers or Celtic in Scotland by my own team-mates, in a way that you knew they were just being hateful to get a laugh amongst themselves. That I didn't support either was never an acceptable answer to some lads there. Things like that never really stopped me playing though, I just got on with it and played football until I was 20, because I loved playing the game. I know a couple of friends who were in the same boat with different clubs too. I suppose my own experience doesn't translate to everyone though, but I experienced plenty of crap in my ten years or so involved in the game. I recall a few newspaper articles I've read over the years too that would suggest it's not only me, but maybe not as common as I had assumed it to be, Darren Graham being a famous case as you say.
As for the subject itself, I have a habit of looking up one thing in history and ending up on a whole different subject every so often. After reading a Facebook post on Wolfe Tone, about him being captured and held prisoner in Letterkenny, I ended up reading up a bit more about him and for some reason ended up reading about Sam Maguire via Michael Collins, however one led on to the other via a few other people again. Just a random piece of information that threw me off given my own experiences within the GAA.

Just watched (on and off) 7 hours of a chess match between Carlsen and Caruana. It lasted 115 moves and was a dead draw from about move 38.

So a funny thing happened there the other day. Was on Politics on Boards and when I clicked back into the main page it ordered the page from oldest first for some reason.
Anyway, saw a thread titled "Its Rabbitt!" and not realising the fact that it was 2002, I started to read it as it seemed an odd thing to be at the top of the feed, anyway, look who I ran into:

My post count on Boards was obscene. I eventually lost faith in the whole setup (they sold out and the whole place went to sh*t), broke all my own Foot.ie rules and went full suicide by cop. Then I did the same with another 3 or 4 accounts. I'm not proud of it. Although it was immense fun at the time, because I know all the tricks of the trade. :)
Still have an(other) account there, but I only use it for a rare question that can only be answered locally. I generally hang out on Reddit now, and only post there to rant at Americans, and make obscure jokes that very few people get.
