No. I think it was her usual sneer .

Dont ever want to see her again

So irrelevant that I got his name wrong :-P

No he keeps glancing in front of him .
All these guys have an ability to speak
with small reminders …
Public Speaking , its a learned art form

Oh I know well!-I didn’t notice an autocue, and he didn’t glance down much is all.

LOL, just noticed Bertie’s coffee cup on the news “Bean & Gone” :D

He used an auto cue

Oh, I fully agree.

Thing is, they were, whether we like or not, dominant in society for decades-and still have a fair following, despite the election result, despite their incompetence and corruption, and despite their sheer hamfistedness in government, while they were quite skilled at actually getting there.

And, lest people forget, RTE, being the establishment driven organisation that it is, given that the government pay the wages, and FF presided over a veritable boom within RTE, as much as it did outside it, is still stuffed to the gills with FF sympathisers, who have to temper their former allegiances with the necessity of dealing with their current paymasters.

And, as a result of my first point, people still have a fascination with FF, and in most cases an interest in their downfall. I land squarely in both of those camps, and I suspect I’m not the only one.

Well put Sandra

It is a start. One can never move on from hurt until there is an acknowledgement of wrongdoing.

The only people on their feet other than the cronies in the hall for that apology were the queues of emigrants at the departure gates

Fair comment Fintan o’Mahony. It is a sad time for the families of the people who are forced to emigrate.

He didn’t make it out of the bar, apparently he was too tired.

So your solution is extra-judicial execution?

I’ve been working on a few contraptions in my workshop. Googled ‘Robespierre’ on the internet and it gave me all kinds of ideas…

You’ve some neck.

Noticed that , all nodding in agreement with him ….

Sadly, it’s a very well attended one.

By party hacks…

All about the optics.

The only things FF stand for are leaders addresses, and getting back into Cabinet (literally in Bertie’s case).

This has been a very well orchestrated TV appearance by FF, to say otherwise is folly, sorry to say.

Have to agree with you there Ryan
Very well orchestrated , every word sounded out
for most beneficial effect.

Hi Reada, I went to school with Miheal(tho a few years behind him). If was just the same insufferable. smug teaches pet, even then.

‘Tis alright John, I did the best I could in your absence.

I know they weren’t stuffing them teddies with foam!

Ya mean even the teddies are full of it!

Hartstown? Bit harsh, don’t you think?

He has to.

He did. Smoked outside a funeral with him. After the ban. He may have given up since, though.

He He He I’m just thinking ta myself here. Suppose he takes a drag of a fag just before the blade falls where’s the smoke going ta go. He He He

He strikes me as one who doesn’t inhale ;)

Apparently, for fourteen years, he didn’t.

Do ya still work there Ryan? Rommel barred from his local and you f***ed outa yer job! What’s around the corner for me I wonder??

So far anyway ;)

I need to master the secret handshake.

You’re on very thin ice, young Murphy! I fear it may be too late though as it appears your eyes are fully opened ‘)

They were opened years ago Rommel!

I had a failed spiv FF town council candidate take umbrage with me over anonymous comments made on another site by a third party (of course I got the blame, because I posted as always, under my own identity even though the comments albeit harsh and over the top, were nothing to do with me), and worse again, but more laughable, I had a SF canvasser call to my door giving out because I didn’t like SF. I wouldn’t mind, but I know the lady who was running very well, and like her, and gave her a preference as promised. She was elected, and good luck to her.

I was asked, and bear in mind, I know this guy all my life, “What did Sinn Fein ever do to you?”

I made a point of walking up and down the hall saying, “Nothing…Yet”.

I don’t think he got the joke.

I spotted a fair few from my neck of the woods there too young Rommel. Any chance of a temporary stay in beautiful W Cork? I’d be very discreet, I wouldn’t make much noise comin’ in from the pub, I’d wave to all the locals, never mention a thing about…well ya know(!) and in general be an all round well behaved citizen of our fair isle.
Hell! I might even start goin’ to mass!

Anyway Ryan Murphy all of that serves ya right. Yer been doin’ nothin else all day but slagging off poor hardworking honest dacent Irish people, callin’ them gombeens an cronies and whatever else. ‘Bout time ya had a good hard look at yerself and asked yerself what side of yer bread is gettin’ buttered an who’s doin’ the butterin’. Shame on ya! And then ya go shooting yer mouth off at yer boss…

Sorry, John.

I know my place :(

Jaysus John, I’d say you’ve most of the camouflaging techniques perfected already. Stay as long as you like! :)

Good on you John, Ryan, Eileen, Rommel, and others. What I wouldn’t give to be in your company tonight. Although, I am grateful for the virtual company that the Internet age allows, I’d kill for the real thing!.

You’d be more than welcome, my friend. But for babbies in bed, I’d be out myself.

My scabbard has endured long moments of loneliness, yet my blade has sated it’s desire upon a whim. Your invitation is both welcome and unusual. Perhaps, my blade is sharpened enough, though cowardly dogs are never enough.

Joe wouldn’t go down that road. He’ll jump in in the middle of Ronan’s seven and a bit songs, like he always does, and will proceed to tell us what we won’t be hearing on our Liveline today.

Then he will proceed to talk about bins, the Great Wall of Clontarf, and what the government is doing wrong, for an hour and a bit. And pocket his two grand plus for a day’s work well done.

He was a good bit quieter when FF were in office. And was quick to jump on any dissention, like the impartial host he’s supposed to be…

Phew, Ryan,thought you were talking about me for a sec!

Thanks Eileen, cheered of up no end! Guess that could be our new national anthem,now that we’re all chewing on lifes gristle.

Glad you liked it :)

Ah here we go small rural schools .

small companies now
he is their rescuing hero now …

Pat Carey in the audience

Such Bull S**t.
Sorry I watched it now , just found it upsetting
How is it we all hear the same words but take different things from it
Horrible Party , horrible sentiments

Couldn’t miss a neck like that.

Are you for real?

Ah Eileen, being pro European does not make you a traitor.

Your comment reminds me of the “what have the Romans ever done for us” scene in the Life of Brian. Get ready to set your red thumbs to stun,folks!

Peter 66

No ?

It does when it comes at the price we have had to pay for the ”mistakes ” these
shower of blackguards made .

Enjoy ! :)

Eileen. Pro European does not make you a traitor & that’s a fact, you are engaging in bullshit propaganda & populist sound bites. The very thing that all these politicians are guilty of.

excuse me ”peter 66”
What is it then ? Or are you of the Continuity FF (FG/Labour) brigade ?
(”you are engaging in bullshit propaganda & populist sound bites. The very thing that all these politicians are guilty of.”)
I do not engage in political bullshit as you so called it , or populist soundbites(Unless I find them funny) , I do not however consider giving up our fiscal control to unelected foreign powers , funny.
I am appalled by it , I feel very strongly about it . It upsets me greatly to think that we are being managed by foreign powers.
This is how I feel, and I will not apologise for feeling a loyalty to my roots.

We’ve had that. But this new chap, young, dynamic, and different, is promising something new. I like the cut of his jib.

All the old folk seem to like him as well. Very polite. Always goes outside for a smoke.

Too late

No.

See what I mean!
