It's not so much TheJournal.ie writers as utterly dense readers of it, but I've seen stories distorted and sensationalised in it the odd time also. Recently the Bord Gais credit union's laptops were stolen and had BG employee details on them - it was spun in such a way that the reader would initially see it as another security breach by BG itself. The BG logo pictured and all.

We can do this all day if you like but it won't change the fact that what you're posting is a load of shíte.

I'd say you've done well for yourself in life.

I tend to agree.

The court jester has been found out.

As for his joker, the reptilian Noonan seems more
like an extra from a JURASSIC PARK film.

"ex-Offaly politician"? What does that mean? Does that mean that he was from Offaly but now isn't?

What point? there only seems to be one point in your posts and Im hearing it loud and clear

Ive nothing against people who do well in life, in fact some of the people who I most admire are self made entrepreneurs and other successful people. What i dont like, is a sneering condescending, preaching attitude from people who only see the world, in one way, their way.

Which I suppose would make sense given that you posted the article in the first place. You're really better off not reading those publications to be honest, they'll just make you even more resentful than you already clearly are.
I read all kinds of publications and articles, from the sun page 3 to the sunday business post on occasasion, nice to get a flavour of different things in life. I had a lecturer before who couldnt understand why anyone would not read anything but broadsheet financial newspapers, people often fell asleep in her classes.

"Sheriff" Kenny doesn't seem any better than biffo. At least he's educating himself and not picking fights with TV3 presenters over schoolyard remarks.

There's something quite charming about that photo.

Who is his teacher then? Enda Kenny himself, because his salary as a Taoiseach is not high enough for him?

If I had his cash and pension at that age I can't say I wouldn't do the same myself.

Hate the political party he was part of and thought he was an embarrassment to the country as Taoiseach but I honestly can't hold the fact he wants to spend his retirement bettering himself against him.
