Even though the European elections are probably more important than the general elections, they just don't get me going n the same way. I'll have a look at all the candidates tomorrow and make my decision. I really could'nt careless about the locals but will feel obliged to do a bit of research before I vote.

LeixlipRed · 04-06-2009 10:41pm

There's no real lefties running in the East MEP election so I might vote for that lunatic Jim Tallon (of Glasnost Productions fame, youtube it!). As for locals round this way, Catherine Murphy and no one else.

funky penguin · 04-06-2009 10:49pm

Is it just me or are there alot of young females running with Labour? granted i've only been on the south east coast.

Beau · 05-06-2009 1:05pm

I'm off home. Its been good virtually knowing you! Bye Maynooth.

Rozabeez · 05-06-2009 1:09pm

Awhh, no Beau at our beers!

banquo · 05-06-2009 5:56pm

Got up at 6 to go back to Dublin to vote.

PrivateEye, tell your mum that Joe got my number 1

Michellenman · 05-06-2009 7:32pm

Joe got my #2.

Don't you love when you go to the bank and there's more money than you thought there would be? It's never happened to me before today. I doubt it'll ever happen again so I'm gonna enjoy it

Beau · 05-06-2009 7:55pm

Trying to figure out tactically the best way to vote. I'm in the East constituency. I prefer Childers but I'm considering voting Phealen No.1 for the 3rd seat or should I distribute my vote as No.1 on a crap independent, no.2 childers and no.3 Phealen. Its all very confusing!

Sweet on the bank thing. I applied for a loan for inter railing on Monday. Hit traffic and the bank closed so I couldn't get at the money! Disaster.

Rozabeez · 06-06-2009 4:36am

I ****ing hate my life right now! *dies*

PrivateEye · 07-06-2009 3:30am

Berties brother coming FIFTH? Eric Cantona and Ken Loach *raging* at Bertie during the week? The end of the Drumcondra Mafia? Great times.

Uncle Joe is apparently doing great (Tally man figures, before official counting)

PrivateEye, tell your mum that Joe got my number 1

Ha ha, didn't see that at first!

My mams obsession with him is bizarre, apparently he embodies everything thats right about the world. shame he's a Trot, but people like Joe get by on personality alone. I really don't care about the mans ideology to a degree if he's going to constantly PWN!1 Fianna Fail when he gets back into the Dail. He's the one-liner king. I don't think there's a 40somethingyear old public sector woman who isn't mad about him at the minute maybe. Think Dad voted him with a bit of "boss told me to" involved.

PrivateEye · 07-06-2009 3:38am

Yep, notced that too.

Maria Parodi, first one in the above Irish Times blog 'give her a lash jack' candidates list, is Labour in Dublin and as far as I know got elected and all. She's my favourite (:pac:) nationwide.

Sarah Ryan (FF), the second one in, will probably be on the Dole with her Dad come Monday morning. She was handing out free pens, so they can both sign on together.

Even the Shinners can be guilty of running young pretty faces over more experienced community activists, sadly it seems to pay off for most of the parties though.

Rozabeez · 07-06-2009 11:11am

Right, angry drunken post, too funny. Think it was an embarrassed one actually. How was last night?

barleybooley · 08-06-2009 5:10pm

GAH!! Results in less than two weeks

*scrambles to get all fun stuff done now in fear of a lock down being put in place*

Mom: When are your results out, Michelle?
Me: End of June sometime.
Mom: Should I expect all fails?
Me: Nnn...yes

*hangs head in shame*

mp3guy · 11-06-2009 9:58pm

Way to break the silence

Michellenman · 11-06-2009 10:05pm

I wasn't aware that we were having a 'thing' here. I take the tumbleweed back. Heeeere tumbleweed. C'mon tumbleweed. Attaboy.

gra26 · 11-06-2009 10:15pm

Since I have no job and not much to do I joined the Library. There's so many books(obviously I know) and I dunno where to start. Anyone recommend some good reading?

Ostrom · 11-06-2009 10:23pm

For obscurity - parapsychology on top floor by philosophy, socio-biology books are strange, astronomy is always interesting....

Pick something you always wanted to know about - a discipline, a topic, get some introductory texts and pick away!

Philosophy can be a rewarding read too

gra26 · 11-06-2009 10:32pm

Sorry, not that library, a normal one. I'd enough of that library after 6 yrs as a student! Not that I used it all that much............ Thought someone here might have interesting suggestions.

I've had fun since college finished

mp3guy · 12-06-2009 7:48am

I've started my internship. Being a pretend full time researcher is fun.

barleybooley · 12-06-2009 11:00am

I'll bet Rozabeez is secretly delighted at how much her baby has grown, look, it's so big
