  1. There it is, the misinformation pushed by the ditch that he directly was involved in sale is now a “fact”.

  2. In summary:

    Collins was a member of the committee which recommended that the council sell the land in public auction.

    When Collins was no longer a councillor, the Council voted to sell the land in public auction.

    Collins wife bought the land.

    Irish Internet: WHARGWARBL! RAGE! WORST THING EVER.

    I’ve zero time for FF and have never given them a high preference but the ability of people to get whipped into hysteria by a website founded and funded by a millionaire who hates the government because they didn’t give him corporate welfare is fairly disturbing.

  3. Wow the comments here are not kind! Not saying I disagree whatsoever but can’t help feeling bad for the dude posting.

  4. Comments are rough but posting open mic stuff/stuff based on what just happened the other day is always risky.

    Better off posting material he’s had time to work on.

  5. Id rather order a shite pint of Guiness in London than have to ever suffer through this joke ever again

  6. Never heard of you before now but keep on keeping on dude. Not a comic myself because I’m not in the least bit funny but I admire anyone with the guts to put themselves out there like that. It can be brutal.

    FWIW I actually enjoyed the joke. Topical and relatable. But then what do I know. I’m just some fuckin guy.

  7. God, it’s much easier to critique comedy when the guy isn’t OP.

    As other people have said, fair fucks for doing this job at all. I’d never have the balls. As a musician, I can have a bad gig but just plough through and that’s it — quiet crowd, meh. But for comedy, if you don’t get a laugh every 20 seconds, it’s absolute death.

    On this particular bit, I’d say it’s fairly hackneyed. No doubt you’ve seen Eddie Murphy’s *Raw* special where he does a rather similar bit on [cheating](https://youtu.be/qLFrdv2R8ng), with an equivalent payoff even down to the cadence.

    Anyway, this is what you’re here for, brutal honesty. Reddit nerds shitting on everything.
