    Jaysus I wish that guy on RTE would cheer up and give us SOME GOOD NEWS for once. There is better news out there its just he is naturally depressing to listen to. Not even a mention of oil dropping toward 100 dollars a barrel today. He has always had that downbeat voice aswell during the Celtic Tiger. People are seriously cheesed off everytime he gets on the news to tell us how fckued we are again. Its like as soon as he appears - 'oh here we go'. Im convinced he is sinking the economy on his own at this stage:eek:

    Depressing cnut - and I was in a good mood today aswell, not anymore:(

    Seeing as how he always delivers good news in an onimous tone I think from now he should have to deliver bad news in a cheerful tone.

    Who? Who's depressing the repressing recession what?!
    What do you want? A guy in a clown suit? If this genuinely depresses you: consult your GP and/or psychiatrist...or join a club, that isn't here... and that I'm not in... or hear about.

    Yes or alternatively he could stock up on some helium before he goes on air and stop droning.

    I second that.

    Nevermind. I don't care.

    Your oil is about to drop another 5 cent a litre - depending on petrol stations - and not one word about that on RTE anywhere. Well George, well? Miss that one did we....again.


    'RTE - supporting the gloom'.....

    I love how you know how 'people' are thinking and feeling on a wide range of topics.

    You are a real man of the people, darkman.
    Or you're trying to invent people who agree with you, which isn't as good....

    This has an unsual not-copied-and-pasted feel about it.

    And yes. It is all down the swanneee.. Why else is the budget being moved forward...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    In fairness I think he has enough reasons to be upset. And he did warn us.

    I think we're just hoping that it is copypasta. That way if we find the source we can kill it. Kinda like killing the head of a group of irritating, toothless vampires.

    Why does petrol still keep going up here? And it rained yesterday. Screw this, I'm getting some rope and a Stanley knife.
