Sure We all know that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are Like the Gambinos and the Genovese Families, At the Table they shoot at one another occassionally, but at the end of the day they eat their gnocchi from the same plate. Both Parties are trying to advance the same interests.

Like every other party but with different policies.

So would you say Fine Gael and Labour have the same interests?

I didn't cringe that slogan was chosen to get down to the young people in Ogra Fianna Fail to join the party and change, invigorate it from within.

It may have been funny and a bit silly but thats what the party were trying to achieve.

Conor, you do realise it was about as "funny", "silly" and "invigorating" as watching your boss dance drunkenly at the christmas party without popcorn or a camcorder for future blackmail?

I would appreciate it if you could stop using my real name.

Anyway thats why I used the word "may" in the post you're referring to.

Pythia: How was the talk anyway?
