Plenty of people past the mandatory retirement age work in gainful employment. Apparently that’s the way the world is moving in any case, where the retirement age is being increased every day and will probably be 75 by the time every 20-year old in 2011 gets to retire!
Michael D may not be as eloquent or articulate as Mr. Norris, or as slick as Mr. Gallagher, but he has a wealth of experience and wisdom to offer the position and does indeed have many many building blocks he can utilise if he’s elected :)

Experience, a ghra

Aegist once again One would expect better from such a perfect human being…..not

There is hope when a militant Atheist and a Dana supporter can agree on something. But Sheelagh is right on this one. Gis If you are of the opinion that Michael D might die in office and that we would have to pay for another election, how would you feel about saying on this page that we shouldnt employ women of childbearing age because they might become pregnant and the State or the employer shouldnt have to pay for this? We dont do this not just because it would be politically incorrect in the extreme but also because best evidence shows that societies that dont value the expertise that all humans can bring to situations the worse off these societies are. The age risk of someone is offset by the expertise and life skills they have gained. Unfortunately it is not always true that age brings wisdom such as in the case of Ratzinger but in many cases it does.

Ah… the picture quiz…..Thanks to this ‘dithery little man’ Martin McGuiness’s werent spoken by an actor!

Dont knock it, Stephen Rea the actor got his break during that period when FG/FF/Labour all supported restricting the freedom of speach on TV at the direction of their Eastern masters.

This was an excellent quiz result for MDH and to say pence instead of cent is hardly a hanging offence!

Who are our eastern masters. And I’m only 31 and something’s refer to pence and pounds. Its a figure of speech.
