more like left out in the year 2000

why isnīt T.T. on the list?
T.T. garnied support from all on the Irish Left and used an "an Taisce" resolution on "heritage trees" and an Irish Labour Party TD to stall the felling of trees on OīConnell street.
so if T.T. isnīt on the list, pandabear will be fiddling your chads and webpolls!

If there ever was a case for removing an
article, this is it... Don't get me wrong,
I am against censorship - but this is most
definately NOT a news article; this little
beauty pagent obviously springs from the head
of some boring office muppet who has nothing got
to do all day except hatch up little scenarios in
his/her head. Please, please, please get rid of it
right now.......!!!!

Bassbomber is so fucking right.

Lets be clear on this, this is nothing to do with indymedia, this is one of the most pathetic and worthless things I've witnessed on this site (and I've argued with Pat)

Whats with this piece of agrandising back slapping?

Please I can see the scene some dingy little do upstairs in conways (no wait the SWP aren't welcome there, take a bow Nora) with a group of leftists trying to pretend they don't care about the actual outcome. Backslapping and drunken praise at the incredible job we've done this year and how the winner has made this world a better place. Horseshite. This has been a dogs abortion of a year for the left, we pretty much lost every battle (Nice, Iraqi, Palestine, Barcelona, Madrid).

You should instead engange in a stalinist witchunt, and chance the offenders who must be purged through the streets of templebar, till they're beaten to death by a stag party. Let this hold as warning to next years Joes, Rorys (slimly little fuck), and the rest of the ilk. Shape up, win your stalingrad or face the consequences

Fuck off whoremongers. This is worthless; do you not honestly think you have better things to do with your time than creating this moronic testiment to ego masterbation?

That genuine causes and hobbies could be more rewarding? (may I suggest the fuckwit who posted this take up smacking his empty little head repeatadly againist an exposed brick wall, till your skull cracks open, and the diseased organ you call a brain dribbles out).

I honestly thought this was a joke, and it leaves a vile dirty little feeling in my stomach to think that someone feels that this is important and worthwhile. Meaningless pointless little rituals like this should disappear, they're part of the problem in society.

The monostrous ego which concieved this bloated idea should collaspe or at least fuck off somewhere else and fester away from the sight and noses of the general populous.

Pat if you're still looking to kicking my teeth in, I'll be at this event, but at least give me a chance to undo my fly and piss on everyone who attends (included you oh so witty people who'll be there for the ironic value).

You fucking disgust me.

Otherwise we would have nominated ourselves ;-)

I think the 'committee' should say who they are. Starting to be a bit pathetic now, i thought it was a bit of fun to start with. But the whole thing just seems pompous now - some of the comments are mentally vitriolic tho, relax for fucks sake!

Really must try stop myself from commenting and reading the crap on this site. Stuff on Caoimhe was real news, but its isolated in most of the other crap posted here.

author by King Mobpublication date Mon Nov 25, 2002 23:58author address author phone

I gathered that blisset, but cheers for recognising that I'd/ never say what I did on a few threads earlier. And do those arsehole impersonators realise this essential truth

"If King Mob is getting to you, that means King Mob is doing his job".


And I second that comment by "curious" , yis bunch of fucks. Just who are you exactly? C'mon show your scrawny faces, and well scrubbed necks. I'd be delighted to know who you are, and what poltical group spawned you.

And why eaxctly do you feel your worthless piece of self congradultion, mutual ego boosting fuckwits deserve to spam up a NEWS wire with this tumor of bloated egos...

"Nurse where is my scapel, this ego must me amputated........."

KING MOB
"I just flunked out of my anger management class"

-And so you're back, from outer space, with that stupid little grin across your face-

PS When I said chance in the my previous post I meant chase. I'm warming to the idea of a witch hunt blood hunt of the years most useless socialist, across temple bar. We get loaded up on mushrooms, chase them through the city, and let the dogs at them. (For dogs read Bristol stag party). That'd improve party moral and be a real motivation booster for any "leading anti capitalist") ARE YOU READING RORY HEARNE YOU FUCKING ARSEHOLE?

PPS when I said "You fucking disgust me" I wasn't refering to Pat C, more the organisers of this sham

PPS Thats not to say Pat C the hyprocrtical prick doesn't disgust me. Hi Pat.....

BE REALISTIC DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE

its hardly possible to parody a fool like this.

one can only hope that he gets the help he requires. its yet another example of care in the community not working.

King Mob has succeeded in getting the Secret Service funding in the Estimates increased by 85%!

What a brilliant performance!

The fuckwits (pat exclude) who run this moronic interlude have yet to identofy themselves

Would they are to step forward? Amd explain why this year justified a left of the year award
