.... revoke Kellys visa.

It's just a thought as she has to b the most annoying judge in the history of reality talent shows.

Get a grip. Why should her visa be taken away when she's done nothing wrong

...slip them a backhanded tenner and give em a sly wink and see what they can do!

Actually forget the tenner...I'll organise a whip-round!

It's called a joke

I think it was meant as a joke.............could be wrong though

Yes but these jokes are tired. I'm not here for xenophobia.

Theres a serious lack of sense of humour on this forum...

But maybe others do like a bit of jokey banter. Can't please all the folk all the time

Ya, some folk take it wayyyyy too seriously. At the end of the day I don't give a rats backside who wins. It's hardly a life changing outcome that will affect me. I just take it for what it is. I have opinions and express them, of course I do, but at the end of the day I'm not particularly bothered who wins. I'm more amused at how some folk get into such a tizzy if you dare to disagree with them. LOL!

I hope that your post also applies to some of the blatant anti irish ness on some threads on here

if i see one more crack about the "irish all voting for janet" and nfunny comments about Oirish jigs Ill scream

No it was a joke. Not very funny when you have to explain that. Fm's are far too serious, lighten up a bit chaps it's only a tv program.

But seriously are you sure we can't get her visa revoked.

Or hit them with your shillelagh

Sorry I'm only teasing you, no offence meant

Xenophobia!? What was xenophobic about the comment I made? I don't recall saying I hate Americans!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia

I don't fear or hate Kelly I just don't like her very much as she is irritating.

I took it as a joke never fear, but some folk are so touchy around these parts LOL!

If all you need is a tenner for the bribe, I'd be happy to give it to you in full

I don't like that either. People are from where they're from. It's not nice.

The op may have been joking but the xenophobia on this board this year has been bad.

I don't even 'know what a shillelagh is

I can tell when there is just jokey banter and I have a sense of humour but there are many posts on here that have really gone OTT with comments on the Irish

What makes me laugh is that Jedward were kept in because of the UK audience as ireland didnt even have the vote that year

See my post just a little up the page. Anyway Bob to win.

I'm certain it isn't the fact that Kelly is American. The OP mentioned a visa because she would have had to have one.

If Kelly were say, from the Isle of Wight I daresay it would have been can we get her boat fare back.

If you look for xenophobia I am sure you'll find it, but it's silly to look when I don't think it was there imo of course.

Thank you, I was not being racist. I just don't like Kelly.

I wouldn't pay too much attention, some folk are OTT I will agree. Some mention Irish to wind folk up knowing that some will bite back.

It's a cudgel, a big stick of some sort it's native to Ireland.........you hit people over the bonce with it. Come to think of it we could use one on here from time to time LOL!

I don't like her either, that doesn't make me racist, it's simply I don't like her LOL!

I think there have been some nasty comments on this forum but some supporters of contestants are a tad too willing to cast aspersions on the motives of others. Clearly some like Kelly and have no sense of humour.

I agree with you !

In relation to Shillelagh, A hurley is a better instrument in which to cause pain

Yes, there have been and are some nasty comments on this forum. But I think it's unfair to tar folk with the same brush when no malice was intended in a particular post.

Some forum members will look for anything they can nitpick and pull someone up over. It's what they do unfortunately.

Crikey, you only have to spell something wrong at times and the Dictionary Police are on your back. It's so petty and actually quite sad.
