    Do you reckon that Barosso has been on the phone roaring at Biffo? I wonder what he will have to say for himself?

    Poor aul Cowen. He could end up being the least successful Taoiseach in history. Worst-case scenario: The rest of the EU go ahead, towing us behind like a little dinghy. FF's government partners withdraw in protest, government collapses, next General Election sees an FG/Lab coalition who pretty up the Lisbon Treaty and get it through.

    Lol true, I kind of feel sorry for him, seems Bertie got out at just the right time.

    Agree, I think Bertie gave Biffo the ultimate "hospital pass".

    Westminster is on the phone :)

    "he plan is that all other countries will press ahead with backing the treaty. I am told Gordon Brown has phoned the French president to assure him that is what he will do. But this surely is just a holding pattern. Without Ireland on board Lisbon is dead."

    Well they could use the treaty as a basis of a new union without Ireland. Ireland would then be free to rejoin under whatever terms are offered if it wished.

    Cowen must feel like Bertie did after Nice.

    @bookiebasher - you have a shrine to Biffo?

    I think I may have said something like that before, myself...


    I'm just saying that if your blood pressure goes higher then a rasta in Amsterdam everytime someone says something nasty on the internet about someone they dont know, then I fear for your well being. :)

    No. It's probably what he would be doing.

    Wow...

    I'd hit the report button for personal abuse, but I think you're the one suffering most after the result anyway! :pac::D:pac:


    On topic - Going to be very interesting to see if things will appear strained publicly. Barosso et all are going to have to try as remain calm and collected as possible to win the public over for Lisbon Part Deux...

    Another 'No' vote going your way I think...
