    A billion articles, memes, statuses and comments were posted about love/hate, boring a good proportion of the Internet to tears.

    Yea I’m sick to the back teeth of the chuggers hounding ye every ten yards down grafton st. The government are giving more tax payers money to Syria and the like but do nothing at all for the thousands starving here who haven’t heating or food in their house…if their lucky to have an abode at all. Theirs not a day that goes by that my blood doesn’t boil due to the thoughtful government in Leinster house. Absolute disgrace without a conscience or any morals.
