Almost the Worst Song Ever Written

I fell off my seat when I heard this:-

Mickey Coleman:- Belfast Holylands


And people wonder why I'm ashamed to be Irish. There's more culture in a Dog Turd.

What are your thoughts on the recent threats that a section of the residents of Jerusalem Street have given out to the New batch of Students?

What threats?

Alot of threats made and witnessed by students, from residents on Wednesday morning between 2 and 4!! One resident threatened to release a dog in to a house on Jerusalem street.

Also threats of stabbings fires etc

Oh Dear!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't endorse violence, threats etc. However, and this is not to excuse it, I understand the desperation that drives it. There is no peace. Your home is violated by noise through the windows and through the walls. There is no sleep till 4am. I got the rude awakening at 7.30am courtesy of the builders. I've developed a conditioned aversion to kango hammers as a result.

A community have been driven from their homes. Those left behind are imprisoned in a lunatic asylum. They get no legal redress. Complaining makes you a target. The universities take no meaningful action against their customers. Read the Trevor O'Neill interview. "Students" are not criminals, no matter what they do, so they have a legal sanction to do whatever they want to residents and get away with it. The oral history of the place is an endless list of horror stories. I found myself unable to sleep with the noise or eat with the stress. Pneumonia resulted. I was on a drip for three days. It as a close call. I was lucky to escape from the place. Another year there would have killed me.

People pushed to the wall will resort to desperate measures. It's a hideous situation. It's long been said that someone's gonna die there. Someone nearly did while members of the "Committee" looked on. You might enquire about who went into a student's house and stabbed him. You might get some scary answers.

tephen Nolan, was shit out by a minuature spaniel into a cup of pig piss in Belfast in 1973. He is a radio and television. Thus explaining his huge size, he was formally a member of the teletubbie but his terrible odour and ugly face led to tinky winky to start a heroin habit, during which he ripped the tv from his stomach and sold it to get a fix. He was educated at Royal Belfast Academical Institution, and The Queen's University of Belfast where he studied Being A Boring Bastard and How To Work At The BBC And Yet Still Be Completely Ignorant And Retarded About All News Items And Topics Of Conversation.

I think the last four comments are a single stream of consciousness from one individual. I hope he enjoys his trip and doesn't crash too hard when it wears off.
