I can't believe you get paid for that.

Was looking through the property section of 'de paper at the weekend and it had a full page article about how house prices drop the further you get from Dublin. Well there's the scoop of the century - well done that man. How the hell did he get that one past his boss?

Anybody know some other one's? Easy targets like Steve Staunton, the Irish rugby team, the Cork back line and Bertie Ahern are likely to provide low comedy value.....

And have a photo of pigfaced Gilson holding a pint of Guinness to her pig mouth.

My expose will be on how it hurts more to be hit by a car travelling 80kph than one travelling 5kph, with Gilson also doing the demonstrations.

She already looks like road kill, so the make-up guys will have a cushy ol' day.

Seriously though. The "journalism" in this country sucks. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the Irish media is about as vacuous, brain-dead, and lacking in critical analysis as the US media. No, scratch that. Having lived in both countries, some of the more high-quality US media is far, far superior to the smug VI consensus blether and downright lies that pass for "broadsheet" "journalism" in Ireland.

Reminds me of the 'breaking news!' we had a few months back informing us that after a laborious survey, groceries are actually more expensive in Spar than they are in your supermarket!!! It was all over the news and the papers for about 2 days!!

FFS!

No, I was shocked to. but appartently we all now have access to the white stuff. and its becoming rampant. even outside of Dublin. :rolleyes:
