Ger Colleran is more smoked salmon than the "smoked salmon brigade"...

Loved his comment about the 'gold plated plumbers'! He was right.

Colleran AND MLOD

Marie Louise thinks people would be willing to pay for water, Ger does not.

If you were on his salary brooke for years you wouldn't have to pretend about being stressed paying for plumbers....;)

True, grey. He can talk the talk.

My dad used to call it "suitable sounds" in his day brooke....

Sounds good but basically means shag all....:eek:

How are you doing this weather??

Am walking the walk, grey! Literally!!

I have to agree with Ger Colleran's comments about Positive
Action. There is something unseemly about all the sneering
re 'Angel Therapy', etc., which is doing the rounds today. Are
some of these people too young to know what the State did
to those women? Many of them have died; some were fearing
death because they were given contaminated blood. Michael
Noonan fought them tooth and nail. No one was ever arrested
for the criminal way they were treated. If Angel therapy or any
thing else gave them a modicum of comfort, good for them, I
say!

Some of the spending was a bit bizarre, but it pales into
insignificance when compared to what Angela Kearns and Frank
Flannery got up to with our money!! It is so easy to go after
the small fry. Afaik, most of the women involved with Positive
Action were volunteers. I heard someone on the radio today who
was involved with it for years. She had expressed concern, about
what she saw as lavish spending, to the Department of Health,
even before the HSE was set up. They assured her that all was
kosher. I am not condoning some of the spending, but, come on!
A few hundred for dry cleaning, a few hundred for dog kennelling?
It made me feel quite ill to see Shane Ross and John McGuinness
baring their fangs to go after this particular group, I must say!!

Gosh, that was some 'rant', grey! My apologies!!

I had just been reading about Sean Dunne who has been
declared bankrupt in Connecticut and is now embarking on
a new construction project in New York! Also, Bernard
McNamara, who was 1.6Billion in debt, now free from
bankruptcy and carrying out development projects for Denis
O'Brien and Michael Smurfit!

And here we are, being loaded with property charges and water
charges to pay their debts!! Gggrrr!! Positive Action compared
to those shysters? They are not even at the ball game!!

Goodnight, grey!! Going to make myself a cup of tea, haha!!
