    Darkman2- it was just a mod bored and needing to lock something, anything.

    It wasnt a tv forum thread. It was a thread discussing what we thought of his interview, or The Monk himself, not a thread asking if we think Prime Time is a good current affairs show. The mod was bored, simple as.



    Personally Im surprised he got away with as much as he did, he is an awful liar. Which is probably why his lawyers told him to keep his mouth shut, he couldnt fib convincingly to a blind man.

    Id imagine some of the junkies regularly contributing on the AH drugs threads might have taken issue with his solution to the issue :D

    puts him in the same league as certain politicians and property developers then :D

    have to admit i love how they kept going for him despite the fact you could say the exact same thing about bertie in regards to his finances. i.e "thats not where that money came from!" and " im not convicted of anything ! " beautifully illustrates the medias double standards. cant see anyone in RTE going after de bert in that manner.

    Saying that other people have unaccouted money doesnt water down the fact of what the monk is or did.

    Dont think Bertie has been in ay banks waving a gun around*.

    The guy interviewing him wasn't up to much though.

    It went along the lines of:

    Interviewer: But you are a criminal.

    Hutch: Yes, thats true, I evaded tax.

    Doh!

    In fainess he pushed a couple of times on the armed robberies. Hutch was hardly going to break down an confess to all now, was he.:) The interview would have been on his terms to some extent.

    Thats true enough. But what was the point of the interview, we didn't learn anything new.

    I found the interview highly entertaining, and wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with his own show.

    My favourite part was when Paul Reynolds said something along the lines of:

    "The Gardai think you did it, the Community think you did it, the CAB think you think it, and the public thin you did it."

    And the Monk replies "I know, yeah, sure with all the media coverage, I'm starting to think I did it meself!"

    Ha! Priceless!!

    but could you imagine the fun if they went for bert the same way they went for the monk.

    i.e

    "come on bert, where did all the cash come from? you werent earning it, its MULTIPLES of your wage ! burkes on the take, haugheys on the take, your the guy signing cheques for those lads and they got you in the game and put you where you are now. its obvious to all and sundry your pocketing cash for planning permission just like them! the only difference is they deliverd "

    it'd be class :D

    disclaimer: the above, is of course, a hypothical scenario :p

    Do enlighten us. I wouldn't give this scumbag the satisfaction of watching him defend his position, and Paul Reynolds is a f*ckin' joke at the best of times...

    apparently he as going to interviewed on tv3 next week so rte got in there before them, I guess he might be interviewed as part of the dirty money thing, although I don't know if his on talking terms with paul williams.

    father mcverry was on VB on TV3 and gave a strangley positive account of him, he used to live down the road from him, he wouldn't comment in detail on what crime he got up to when he was young but said he was quite sure he retired from organised crime, and they he was now a positive element of the neighbourhood with his boxing club etc...


    I was surprised at mcverry, way too kind on the guy. he said he knew when to stop.
    those big robberies were 10, 20 years ago, I would accept that he's 'retired', but he's a force, it does make williams look silly to keep inserting his name into stories to bulk them up.

    I think most members would take issue with being at a party and having to give blood tests or some other test just to prove they have no illegal substances in their body. Not just members who are heroin addicts.

    So would I. Im no saint on the issue, but alot of the AH drug thread contributors are brain fried, essentially. Which may explain some of the more retarded posts.

    I did. Never knew before he was linked to a murder a stones throw away from where I lived back in the mid 80s. Surprising to see houses I recognise on tv just like that.

    I thought he was hilarious

    Paul Reynolds "the figures don't add up Ger, you can't get that amount of money out of a compensation claim?"

    the monk "sometimes figures just don't add up" lmao ... he is some operator! :)

    The "I'm even starting to believe i did it meself" had me in stitches! :)

    I wonder did he think that we would feel sorry for him ??! :) Funny man i'd still wet myself if he passed me in the street though!

    When interviewer said money was found in his account up North from a raid, same serial numbers and details etc. Then money handed back to brinks by Bank saying its your cash - Mr Monk - said 'NO, that was my money'
    I REALLY thought he was going to say - I stole that money fair and square.
