@Shimmy Shammy: Take note of the headline .. “counterfeit”
@Shimmy Shammy: Really???
@Logan Shepherd:

@Logan Shepherd: that joke was “priceless”
@XvSv: Haha .. I’ve still cancelled the stand up routine though :-)
@Con Cussed: wake up con. Obviously you never had any dealings with that group of Irish people.
@Con Cussed: your English is kinda ok so you’re probably not a traveller posting, so that just makes you a complete and utter naive dope so.
They’ll get more than a ‘slap on the wrist ‘ up ther for putting policemens lives in danger!
@John Mc Donagh: Hopefully
@Con Cussed: Either you are taking the piss or you are clown ??
@Con Cussed: I work for a living. Pay taxes. Don’t steal. Respect those that deserve it. Help out others when I can and don’t ask for anything in return. Give me an idea of where you’re coming from when you say I’m biased towards travellers please. I’ve only ever had negative dealings with them. With a name like yours , I’d say you fit the culture boss!!
@Martin McFly: They are Irish and you’re biased. They only disgrace is your posting. No doubt you are holier than holy.
have your say
