Because I'm sick of new drinkers taking up space at the bar, they're a nightmare and need to be brought to the dark side (or SLK's lifestyle as we call it) :)Quote:

I'm sorry but anyone whos mind works like this is a moron beneath contempt and indeed salvation.Quote:

True, but I remember doing advertising in media in college, and you'd be surprised what works. My favourite is Coca Cola paying to put Pepsi signs in movies, the Pepsi signs would invariably be broken and covered in dirt, half hanging off the wall of some filthy, diseased looking bar :) negative advertising, I just like itQuote:

Would you be in favour of banning all alcohol advertising??
Putting white stickers over all the cans in the off licence section of supermarkets??
What about sweets?? They make kids fat. Ban advertising of them too??
Or washing machines?? I mean a kid could climb into one
Televisions??
Cars??
Coco Pops??
The very white stickers we're going to stick on the cans??
All potentially lethal to children/stupid adults.
Come on now jebus, complete free speech or none at all applies to the ad men aswell you know ;) :)
Football clubs and advertisers aren't bothered, I'm sure they'd happily brand every newborn's forehead with their company logo if allowed, but governments have to adhere to the standards of the hand wringers, have you not listened to Joe Duffy this decade :D
You should all just be happy I don't break about my solution to climate change, and drug lords, they're surprisingly similiar to my solution to boy racers :)
Ah yes yourself, slks and myselfs managed "cull" solution.Quote:

No, its usually full of fallacies by incoherent, illogical fools.
At least on Foot.ie i get to point this out to them :)
In my twenties I used to always go first to the letter pages and had quite a few published myself in the IT. One set of correspondence I remember was trying to distinguish between the SS and Waffen SS :eek:
Now I go first to the Obituary column (sign of age) in the Daily Telegraph so I can post in the "So farewell then" column of foot.ie. Great sports section in the DT by the way.
Spotted a funny one in the London Metro. It went along the lines of...
"Why dont they consider moving Easter forward a few weeks? We may get better weather for the long weekend."
Words fail me.
Agree 100%.Quote:

The best/worst examples are those who think they've got something funny to say that the whole world needs to hear. You can imagine them thinking to themseves - "Oh that IS good. You know what? I should totally send that to the newspaper."

No. It's not. You've deliberately pretended to mishear the lyrics for supposedly humourous intent. You're an idiot.Quote:
- I was in Croke Park recently and it was a joy to hear everyone singing our national anthem. I always get goose bumps as the 'Soldier's Song' is belted out by all present, and the thrill as the last refrain rises to a climax just before kick-off sends shivers up the spine... "Shovin' Connie around the field..." Great stuff altogether.
The other type is those who feel they have something IMPORTANT to say.

I had a letter printed in IoS a year or 2 ago complaining about the lack of
domestic football on RTE. It was in retaliation to a comment made by a
sports correspondent congratulating Villarreal on their rise tio success while
comparing it with the eL clubs failures
actual funny letters to editor
