Pathetic. Abysmal. Sickening. Miserable. Wretched. Deplorable. Shameful. Awful. Terrible. We thought it couldn’t get any worse than Cyprus, it just did. I refuse to watch another Republic of Ireland match until Steve Staunton is replaced as manager and our players learn something about the pride of playing for one’s country!
The Moriarty Tribunal. Nine years. €25 million. To tell us what we already knew … Haughey was a thieving cunt. God, I love this country! *sob*
Time to call it quits on the International Rules series do you think? I have been a fan of the series since the start, I always thought there was great potential to create a wonderful spectacle of mixed rules football; the best of the Irish against the best of the Aussies; a chance to show [...]
Almost forgot. Today over 120 of our country’s finest flew out to Lebanon to start their tour of duty with UNIFIL, joining up with the advance party of 31 who flew out to Lebanon last week. The 158 soldiers of 34th Infantry Group are tasked with carrying out reconnaissance and with providing security & protection [...]
Gardaí say they have arrested 459 suspected drink drivers over the bank holiday weekend. That’s 459 people who willingly put their lives and the lives of others at risk. Hopefully they’ll all be put off the road and maybe the message will finally get through.
Did anyone watch the short documentary on RTÉ yesterday about Chinese workers … China Blue? I took particular interest in this because I have visited China on a number of occasions and have seen first hand the conditions some workers have to live/work in. So I’d like to share my own experiences. Now that i’m [...]
Fireworks are annoying. Few will disagree. Kids in this estate have been wrecking our heads for months with bangers and rockets. They have been used at times to terrorise older people, and they are dangerous; we’ve all heard the horror stories. So why legalise them? Wouldn’t that just make it worse? Answers: Safety, and no [...]
We’ve just had another bloody weekend … so we ask the same questions we asked last time … “what can we do to cut down on the number of deaths on our roads?” “how can we get people to slow down?”. Give it a week and it’s all forgotten, till the next bloody weekend when [...]
Just happened to be watching Seoige & O’Shea today, while relaxing after a late lunch. They had a brief discussion on the Irish language and one of the guests was one Paul MacDonnell from the Open Republic Institute who should be no stranger to those with any knowledge of the political side of the Irish [...]
Anyone heading to (or even know about) the Firefox 2 launch party in Dublin next month? It’s being organised by a company called Segala and is provisionally booked for the 14th November in the Dakota bar on South William Street (not far from St.Stephen’s Green). Free drinks they claim! Very tempting!
