*promote in the memory of Shane McGowan

This is so confusing to me. Presumably there should've been a way for Shane to overcome the issue he was seeing, but he completely failed to do so? If you've seen his channel, it's like 90+% troubleshooting problems! Perhaps he didn't really care all that much?

Who is Shane?

Also I doubt his worst jokes were in the netflix special. Something tells me he didn't mention crawling over broken glass to suck the cock of the last person to fuck Rachel Riley.

Just watched Jimmy Carr's Netflix special - it contains all these same jokes, and every joke I can ever remember Jimmy Carr telling, so I guess it really is a "greatest hits" standup, rather than all new material like most stand-up specials. It also had more offensive jokes, and a lot of reference to Shane's Mum.

100% agree with Predator not feeling dated upon re-watching. I've said it before, but the only thing that dates it at all, is Shane Black's giant glasses.

Shane Black is the only reason I am going to see this.

I have hope for this. Shane Black (writer and director) was in the original Predator and he’s done some good stuff in the last few years (“The nice guys” was great)

Want to cut down the number of deaths by firearms? Stop tolerating shit like this:

"Shane Patrick Boyle, a founder of Zine Fest Houston, died on March 18 after his GoFundMe campaign to pay for insulin came up $50 short. Alec Raeshawn Smith, age 26, was found dead in his apartment on June 27. He was rationing his insulin after he aged out of his parent’s insurance coverage."

After everything is said and done, desperation/poverty is what should be looked at the hardest. Nothing makes people go apeshit as much as intolerable living conditions.

Universal background checks, bans on high cap mags, etc -- that's just doctoring around the edges. Get the Works Progress Administration going again. And while you're at it, revive the CCC and the PWA as well.

Aside from atrocious working hours and societal pressures, life in Japan is a lot less desperate than in most other countries. The low unemployment alone does wonders.

Lovely tune and rendition, and I don't think Puddles and Shane McGowan really share much of a vocal style.

Next up, Puddles covers 'Pretty Vacant' by the Sex Pistols.

Another Birthday already Shane? May all good things come your way!

Shane Black ftw

Hey Shane! Most happiest of birthdays are in store for you today ... my prediction. Make it so

Sadly this seems very plausible after the series I just watched on Netflix , Border Security, Australia's First Line. If people think we treat incoming people rough, they should watch that show. Almost every episode they show some poor sad sack that committed a crime or something 20+ years ago that just wants to come and visit. Most of the time the response is gtfo and don't come back for 3 years, except for one guy who did 12 years in prison for drug trafficking. He just happened to be Sugar Shane Mosley's trainer, so they were like "We should by all rights deny his visa, but we have to weigh the benefit to Australia's citizens that might have bought tickets to the fight....yep, let him in." Or they have a sniffer scanner that picks up what seems to be infinitesimal amounts of any sort of drug residue, which means you get body searched and they go through every thing you have with a fine toothed comb.

I turned to my wife and said, "We are never going to Australia." She asked why and I told her that every bit of the US cash anyone comes into contact with is inundated with multiple types of drug residues. We would probably show up and get cavity searched for 14 different types of drugs. Anyway, after watching the show, I felt it was clear that the government of Australia is very comfortable with the "Come here, spend shitloads of money, and then gtfo because we don't want you here" attitude.

A very Happy Birthday to you Shane.

May it be all that you want and more.

Enjoy!

I say, old chap, it seems that you are another year older. Have a most spiffing birthday, old bean. Celebrate with jam and scones, crumpets and lashings of ginger beer. Cheerio Shane!
