It seems obvious, to me at least, that the attack on the British soldiers at the weekend was not the work of the Real IRA or any other flavour of IRA.
It was clearly an attempt by some sinister organisation to drive Ireland back to the 80s. Last time we had a recession things were bad up in the north. Now we have the recession but no fighting or senseless, idiotic, cowardly killing.
Well, that’s all changed, hasn’t it? A couple of soldiers, some pizza delivery guys caught up in the hail of bullets, and all of a sudden we’re hurtling back in time.
Add to the mix the disaffected, unemployed youths who will surely become more prevalent in the months ahead and we could have a full scale 1980s on our hands again.
We should watch out for the telltale signs – drainpipe jeans with runner-boots, quasi-punks, flick knives, ‘gangs’ who used to hang out under bridges and people who say things are ‘capital’ or ‘epic’.
In attics and cupboards across the country ZX Spectrums are stirring, their rubber keyboards priming themselves for Daley Thompson Olympic style poundings. But who could even think of something so awful, something so odious?
I suspect that the people behind this are remixers. Nowadays you have to produce all manner of funky, different versions of songs. It’s time-consuming and requires effort. In the 80s you simply had to add 3 minutes of drums at the start of a song, stick another section about half way through with just drums and some occasional snippets of backing vocals, and you had your 12″ remix done in about half an hour.
Who else would benefit so greatly from a return to the dark days of the 1980s?
I’m on to you, remixers, DJs and bedroom mash-up artists. You might have the rest of them fooled, you might have Gerry Adams on Morning Ireland sounding as convincing as Gary Glitter in a bedroom full of naked underage girls, you might hope to take advantage of all the angry young bands that a recession powered 80s revival will bring, but you can’t pull the wool over my eyes.
When you go out, when you collude, when you scurry about making your underhand, nefarious plans remember I know, and I’ll be following, observing, watching. Yes, watching. Always watching.
I am Twenty. You are Rockwell.
It’s that Jive Bunny C-C-C-unt.. Pure Evil..
Too right, Twenty! Why, having wool over your eyes is a blatent sign of 80s “farmer ‘fros”, a bad hair day Irish styley.
As long as the Sax solo doesn’t make a comeback..
Or German Army anoraks! *shudder*
I can confirm Aldi are selling PLO scarves.
I think the real targets in that attack were the pizza delivery guys. We didn’t have pizza back in the 80s.
Isn’t ‘capital’ more of an 1880′s expression Well maybe not quite but it sounds a bit more Jeeves and Wooster to me.
Just as long as the statues don’t start moving again like they were doing about 1985.
i cant wait for my poxy toothbrush from fianna fail.
Do you know what else came out of the 80s?
Bono.
Do we want another? Stop this madness NOW.
Bono’s hair from the Unforgettable Fire period went on to minor success in a few Jean Claude Van Dam movies and also it “Blacked up” to star with Mario Van Peebles in Highlander 3.. Hasnt been in anything recently, I am not ruling out its involvement in this whole thing…
On the plus side, Monchichies were good.
Maybe FF will give us all a Monchichi.
“A couple of soldiers, some pizza delivery guys caught up in the crossfire”
As far as I’m aware the gunfire was only going in one direction.
Hmm, good point. I could phrase that better.
Ace. A good dose of the 80′s would be rare.
..I was just thinking about what Hugh was saying last week,i think everyones being a bit hard on the Rira boys.I mean they must have a reason for pulling off this attack,they were obviously pushed into a corner and couldn’t take any more,so we should get them some therapy and nice relaxing holiday somewhere so they can reflect on their actions and promise not to do it again…. or maybe not…
Now that you mention it, it’s true.
I mean, there but for the grace of whoever go all of us who would shoot young lads collecting a pizza. I mean, they were obviously being provocative cunts.
as i mentioned elseware..
Paramilitary Pizza delivery boys have been provoking the Rira for years,it was only a matter of time before they snapped..
or..
They could have just grabbed an aul dictionary and looked up the word
Delivery
and the Word
Collusion.
Just incase,its kind of easy to get them two mixed up..
Education is the key y’see!
I’ll bet they wish they ordered an Apache instead of Dominoes.
Those two Brits won’t be able to cause any collateral damage (=kill Afghan women and children) when their unit goes to Helmand Province in the next few weeks. Allah akhbar!
Collateral Damage like Omagh?
I’m not a rapist but when the RIRA cunts are caught they should get a good raping
@ Look on the bright side…..
This isn’t anything to do with Helmand. It’s about our country not being drawn into another fucking 30 year war. And with all the shit going on with the economy and our vulnerability as a small nation, we need to keep a close fucking eye on that sort of development. Politicians can use that to distract us from the job at hand.
Nothing like the threat of getting shot or blown up to curb the floods of shoppers going up north…
I’m not a racist but Holemaster is right..
No Peadar, that isn’t the answer. I’m quite fond of a bit of rape myself, but I don’t think it’ll solve anything in this case. These cold blooded murdering cunts need to be spoken to. We need to find out what there problem is and see if we can help them.
My name is Hugh and I’m a cunt and a rapist and some day I think I’ll murder my wife
That was me pretending to be Hugh. Probably better off not doing that, could get confusing.
I’ll leave the impersonating to that sad cunt
Nothing like the threat of getting shot or blown up to curb the floods of shoppers going up north…
Shopping up the North hasnt been the same since the 80′s and the yearly xmas trip across the Border to Super-Paramilitary Value in Newry..
One attack by a tiny splinter group with minimal support kills two and everyone is predicting doom and gloom. Get a grip! And a sense of proportion. There have been seven “gangland killings” in Dublin so far this year, but is Irish society about to descend into chaos?
Fill3rup, don’t you have a job?
Explication for Peader and Fill3rup: When I said “get a grip”, I meant don’t lose your heads, not what you probably … oh, never mind.
I don’t know about all this but add it up. Violence in Norn Iron, Drummachines making a come-back, Massive unemployment, Michael Jackson playing London. Next thing ya’ know the shops will be selling skinny ties.
Be afraid. Be very afraid!
No, let’s not descend into a “remember tartan jeans and supercans” thread.
And many-holed Docs
Did somebody fart?
Yeah it was me. Bulmers. It was a bad one alright.
Great post on your blog fill3rup. I tried to comment but it froze on the word verification thingy. Is it cunt proofed?
Leaving aside all the fashion phenomena, I fear a lot of people will soon be nostalgic for the 1980s. At least then there was the option, however unattractive, of emigration. But where will the unemployed go now, what with most of the rest of the world in the crapper as well? This recession is going to last many years, and unemployment in Ireland will soar past 20%.
The RIRA and CIRA lack the resources and support to be anything other than a nuisance, albeit a deadly one – unless the situation changes really radically and disastrously. Perhaps we should be worrying about some very real new problems rather than a regurgitation of some old ones that we proved well capable of dealing with and resolving.
No Peadar,Cunts get preferencial treatment… Very Odd,maybe you have no patience?heh
A brave man it takes to walk up to a wounded man and shoot him in the head.
The Polish Pizza delivery guy took 6 bullets and is in a serious condition,I hope he is ok,I mean,you dont expect your Saturday evening job to end in a Wild Bunch style shootout..
OK, fill3rup, you’ve made your point and I don’t believe anyone disagrees with you. But you really are becoming very, very booooorrrring. Shrill and rather PMTish. Just like your own blog, which is pub-bore style down the line. And seems to have no readers. LOL
hehe..your funny.
Seriously though,you dont know me,but you seem to think I give a fuck what you think.I mean you change your name everytime you post,and by the way,i dont care if anyone reads my blog,that not why i do it.If you dont like it dont read it,I’ll be sure not to read yours,oh thats right,you dont have one.Very easy to take potshots from you anonymous griefhole.. I dont really come on here to argue with cunts like yourself but if you want to go ahead,fair enough.Thats the last comment you’ll get in response to any of you pomous,humourless and cowardly musings.. Now be a good lad and fuck off,the adults are trying to talk.
hehe..your funny.

damn you comment button,once again you have beaten me!!
Oooh, sorry, looks like I’ve made poor old fill3up tetchy! Poor little thingy loves to dish out his “wisdom” and opinions, but can’t take what we call feedback in the world of debate. BTW, I’m no more anonymous than fill3rup himself! ROFL And I can make a point or two without resorting to abuse that involves lavish use of four-letter words.
If it’s worth saying, Fill3rup, it’s worth saying twice.
I read there was two pizza delivery cars. Why was that? Was there that many pizzas?
It was their last meal before being shipped out to Afghanistan,I would imagine that would have been alot of Pizza’s.
AT Roll:What debate?
Who said this was a debating society?
What are you talking about?
Do you just pick a blog a week and bore the shit out of everyone until they ban you or something?
I suppose its a hobby… Good luck to you..
Is you’re name Colin?
Do you work for the Sunday times by any chance?
fill3rup: “I dont really come on here to argue with cunts like yourself”
Actually, sad person, I don’t think you are capable of arguing at all, just spouting your blowhard opinions and pouring venom and abuse on anyone whose views you find unacceptable. I suspect you are a poorly educated, narrow-minded bully and every now and then it amuses me to mock the likes of you and then move on in something I have and you clearly haven’t – namely a life.

Very droll! A touch of humour. A redeeming feature. Keep up the good self-improvement work.
P.S. You could be right – and then again you could be wrong.
p.p.s. Doesn’t the British Army feed its men any longer if they have to send out for pizzas? That would never have happened in the days of good old Colonel Blimp. Eh, what?
I know I shouldn’t really respond,but since you have me pegged completely and totally wrong,I feel I must.
1st of all ,you made a personal comment about me,so I responded,and since then,you have been coming back with more.
Now about the bullying.It is actually you who are a bully,as you proved in your last comment.
I mean if coming on here,mocking me,gets you all excited,then in fairness,I wouldn’t want your life,I would imagine it’s wonderful and all,don’t get me wrong,but it must be very unfulfilling if this is your outlet.
I never forced my opinion down your throat,you decided to be offended and went personal.
Alot of the of the people who comment on here disagree all the time,but it doesn’t get nasty,which is how you come across.You behaviour comes across as slightly psychotic in my opinion,should we warn your wife?
Sorry to spoil the fun chaps but I don’t have time for this cunt (the other cunt, not fill3rup), so he’s outta here!
Plus the cunt is such a coward he’s using anonymisers to mask his IP address.
Oh,thank Christ for that..he’s gone..
The irony of his last couple of comments.
Bullying someone for supposedly being a bully..
Twat.
That was fun.
People who suggest to others that they are poorly educated are themselves poorly educated. Otherwise they wouldn’t insult people that way. Education is as much about being civil as anything else.
A very curious thing happened midway through the online reporting of this attack today…
The younger soldier was initially named as CENGIZ Azimkar (http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/national-news/politics/brown-says-murders-will-not-shake-peace-process-1666299.html)
but had miracoulously morphed mid-afternoon into PATRICK Azimkar across the media (http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0309/breaking50.htm).
Just Google ‘Cengiz Azimkar’ and you’ll get a load of leads with that name. But click on the link (any link) and you’ll find no mention of his original forename. It’s all ‘Patrick’ this and ‘Pat’ that…
Now, call me cyncial but Cengiz isn’t exactly the kind of name to stir sympathy in this fair land, while Patrick most assuredly is…
I smell the dirty hands of British intelligence (yes, I know its the ultimate oxymoron) all over this….
Funny enough I heard him referred to as Patrick on the radio but any stories online from UK newspapers used Cengiz.
MI5,the true masters of spin.. I suppose they have to try and demonise the murderers as much as they can,because of the situation.
But spinning the name in the press is fairly cynical in itself..
Check any UK source online now, 20: they’ve all been edited to ‘Patrick’… as if they’re trying to convince us (we’re all micks, after all) that we’ve killed one of our own…
Policeman killed in Craigavon tonight.
Shit. Fan. Here we go.
Daily Mail haven’t caught on – http://tinyurl.com/mailcunts
Any odds on Fraser Campbell becoming “Kevin O’Murphy” by this time tomorrow?
Now that WAS cynical.
Shot while “investigating suspicious activity at a school”? Could easily be coked up neds as anything else… or Gary Glitter.
Here:
http://tinyurl.com/crssb8
Seems to have been a bit of Gang crime in that area so it might be that… But who runs the gangs???
gangsters?
Largest school in the north, apparently. I’m surprised they were able to find them.
If this was QI there would be a big Hooter sound about now Ibanez..hehe
BTW, “Craigavon” is just a makey-up administrative district that encompasses the towns of Lurgan and Portadown.
It doesn’t really exist, kinda like the way Cengiz never existed but Patrick did. Great fella actually, oul Paddy, knew him way back when.
My money’s on the Lurgan croppies. Or Gary Glitter.
It stinks of Barrymore though…
Continuity ‘ra saying they shot the policeman.
Check any UK source online now, 20: they’ve all been edited to ‘Patrick’… as if they’re trying to convince us (we’re all micks, after all) that we’ve killed one of our own…
This name changing thing is a bit odd but so what? Are you saying it actually would be worse if he really was a patrick but it’s not quite so bad because he isn’t one of our own? I couldn’t give a toss what his name was or where he’s from. He was murdered in cold blood by cowardly scum bags. And to make it worse these scum bags claim they’re doing it for ireland. The death penalty should be brought back for these bastards
I wonder what his family have to say about his name being changed. The R-IRA are fucking cunts, we know that. But the British MOD changing the victim’s name just perpetuates mistrust. It’s just wrong.
