    It's technically a recession but really it is coming back from a hugely inflated bubble on all fronts.

    Did we all expect to keep spending 50 Euro notes on triple Wodka/Red Bulls as if 50 Euro is f*ck all for ever and ever?

    Never fear my fellow Irish people.

    I'm helping you. I want no reward, statues or gushing epitaphs as I'm quite shy and retiring. I just want you to remember in future that when you call into a hospital or need the Gardai you're benefitting from my largesse.

    That's right. I'm going to give you all ONE PERCENT of my salary. Why? Because I love you all.

    Big Hug!

    Colm and JimJim are helping us with their new home run sh!te program...where other countries get financial support from the IMF we get the state broadcaster providing us with these two sh!tehawks to try and entertain us out of a recession. No good lads, no good.

    Jaysus try research beyond hysterical government scare mongering. We're still intrinsically linked to Europe. How hard is that to understand? We just didn't merge any further.

    Or have you been off sick since we joined in 1973.
