I haven't blindly believed the media for many, many years. I've got into the habit of researching outlandish claims.
This is typical of what passes today for journalism. The journalist in question didn't have a clue and conflated two very different statements, mis-interpreting both. The true story:

I will be using a sextant and paper charts as my primary navigation tools.
If I am successful, I will be the first Irish person to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world.

Re: The New Joke Thread
I don't blindly believe the media either, but I don't consider facebook or Twitter feeds to be any kind of media I would even consider. Any clown with an account can make up anything they please. At least news media like newspapers and television stations have a stake in their own credibility. They tend to spin things, omit or include things to influence people, but only the fringe media fabricate stories out of whole cloth. "Sasquatch ate my baby" for example.

Re: The New Joke Thread
If you can't think of the word you want, say: "I forgot the English word for it."
That way people will think you're bilingual, instead of an idiot.
I brought my girlfriend home to meet my family.
They criticized everything she did, mocked her heritage, and gave her a psychiatric disorder.
I guess I shouldn't have insisted they give her the royal treatment.
I hate that SEPTember, OCTober, NOVember, and DECember aren't the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months ...
Whoever screwed this up should be stabbed!

Re: The New Joke Thread
No, you don't understand it correctly. What I believe is, that ilovelimerick.ie is a media outlet. Not Facebook. Facebook is not a media outlet in my belief. Facebook is only the platform where the link to the aforementioned media outlet was shared.

Yes, he undoubtedly knew that.
The month of July is named for Julius Caesar who was stabbed to death. There's the joke.

Re: The New Joke Thread
Hello everyone, sorry to interrupt the joke thread with business, but there have been some heartfelt complaints relative to political jokes, and as a result 11 posts have been deleted. I know it's hard for some of you, but please just hold back on the political jokes.
