Stupid insular ocker, doesn't he know jokes rely greatly on double meanings of words and localisms which are incomprehensible to a non fluent english speaker.

And therein the humour lies, in the situation's encapsulation of a massive culture gap. Pretty sure the majority of Australians are "insular" by the technical definition!

But then I think "stupidinsularocker" is one word in most modern dictionaries.

😆 They have changed the picture to an actual Sagna picture.

Who was the original picture of though? He has Sagna's hair, and he was wearing our kit but the face looked like nothing I'd ever seen before.

😆 It´s Rooney!

The image:

The original:

I still don't get why the need for the photoshopping.

It was used as a mock up of Rooney after he had his hair transplant.

Blimey, cant remember exactly mate. One of the tabloids used it.

Mainly because the level of reportage is so incredibly piss poor that they either have that image on file as one of Bacary Sagna, or have just whipped it off Google Images without noticing. What an embarrassment to journalism.

😆

He's a candidate for a hair transplant if he joins.

I noticed that Rooney's has taken root. Damn.

I'm more interested in the 80% of our transfer budget that hasn't been spent than the 80% of women who reproduce.

Not funny either but pretty unreal...

Dublin's newest, biggest, fanciest shopping centre flooding last night:

Water from the mountains and the river that burst it banks hit it at full force and speed apparently.
Not such a bright idea to build that shopping centre in a flood plain though was it?
The manager is on the radio now saying it's just one of those one in 100 year events :hmm:.
Safe for a while again then.

😆 They're getting quite common now (all over the world) aren't they Y.

Yep! Freak weather events. Apocalypse is nigh 🙂
We had massive flooding here this time two years ago.
Almost took out the whole of the west side of the city.
Didn't have running water for two weeks and all because some gimps working for the ESB decided to open the dam to "release pressure".
Needless to say they were never brought to task for that.

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

😆
Mmm hmm. Subsequently proved to be an idiotic idea though.

hahah, I grew up in Dundrum and the bowling alley (where the shopping centre is built) used to flood every winter.

Here in Dublin a big residential area flooded because the newly built flood barrier was locked open and nobody in the council knew where the keys were... Irish indeed...

This one is for Klaus.

Not really funny, but an NHL team was playing too defensive in their last game and there's been an outcry about it. I'm both a football and hockey fan and i was thinking "so what" it always happens in football, but it shows how different the culture is for each sport. They're even suggesting creating rules against playing too defensive so that the fans can get their moneys worth.

They do it all over the world Pep, the demand for housing is voracious.
And everyone wants a nice river front property, err we forgot to tell you that it's in the middle of a natural flood plain that flows every "100 years or so" for the last 10,000 years.
