BGRH Investigates - Politics

    In an effort to broaden our horizons here on BGRH, and to prove to the masses we are not shallow, beer-swilling, pork-eating, misogynists, I am opening discussion on a topic that affects our every day lives.

    No, not the recession, not Brian Cowen's latest portrait (shudder), but Toireasa Ferris, a member of Sinn Fein. And what has she done to solicit such cherished attention from all of us here on BGRH? Introduced a recession-beating plan of action? Proposed a solution to the banking crisis? Solved world hunger?

    No, she was voted no. 7 in a survey of the hottest women in political office. Link to Daily Mail Article here.

    And here she is, the little pet.

    So, would you?

    (vote for her, that is)

    Well! She is a shinner so I don't know if she would be my first preference, however I might consider giving her seconds!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,079 ✭✭✭Mr.Applepie


    I believe a would you "vote" for her or would you not "vote" for her poll should be included.

    Very interesting thread, I'm all for broadening our horizons. I would normally try to write something witty now in order to introduce the below image but I have a nasty headache which is making me want to go on a gun totting killing spree so people can feel my pain!:(

    Yes please!

    This fine country we live in, Mr. Applepie, as you well know, is a democracy. I would include a poll, but I fear it would sway public opinion in the upcoming Local Elections in June. I therefore do not want to be seen to be interfering with the Democratic Process that so many have fought and died for.*

    Actually, I spotted this lady signing some Big Serious Document on TV the other evening, and wondered if she would like to run my country:

    Angelic, yet powerful. I still haven't got over the Heidi fetish I had when I was younger. :(































    *either that, or it is too late to add a poll to this thread.

    From the Reader's Comments:

    "I assume that in Italy, politicians of both genders have the right to 'get 'em out' in the spirit of equal opportunities?

    Degrading nonsense."

    definitely not a Brother!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    If she wasn't a Shinner cnut I would, because she is hot. But given her political Affiliation, I can see her on the throne next to Satan. So no, I wouldn't. And she is a Kerry Girl, you can earn your Brown wings with them!!! Damn, I don't know if I would!!!

    Just noticed she's Russian too.... I have a serious thing for Russian speaking wimmins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭The_M


    I do think that the Italian Job in the original article would be a stunning choice for world leader! She has the "obvious attributes"!

    article-1164890-04182169000005DC-829_634x426.jpg hmm she posed in a bikini in order to attract people to her city. I wonder where her boundaries lie?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    Number one in the list, from Peru, she is:

    And at number 3, from Mexico's Industrial Revolutionary Party:

    She also owns a strip club, apparently. ;)

    And way down at number 4,7132:

    Ah, young Miss Ferris. She is truly a beauty. And she looks that good in person (possibly better!).

    I definitely would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    Women politicians? Wtf?

    Try getting a word in there. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    One of the lads is off doing charity work in Peru. I'd wondered why he chose there.....

    then again she'd be more likely to cry on your shoulder if she was out of a job ;)

    Better still, let the word out that she is an informer, and let her stay at your place until the fuss dies down.

    Sinead Sheppard, who was in Six (yeah... remember them?!?) is running for election for Fine Gael in Cobh Town council & Cork County Council

    Yeah and her face is plastered all over her car which is parked down the road from where I work. On a double yellow line.

    She has huge......teeth.

    Nice save.

    [quaint local concerns]Going 'over the bridge' (to Cobh) is becoming slang for visiting a lady of negotiable affection where I live. It's getting so that you wouldn't even want to be seen on the road to Fota.[/quaint local concerns]

    Why did talking about politicians put me in mind of that?....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,044 ✭✭✭Gaspode


    Well folks, that time again with the election posters littering our fair streets. Have you seen any new fair faces of late?
    I see the fair Mags Murray has had a new version of her pic put up. I think she was 12 when it was taken tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    Sinead Sheppard's posters are blinding me all the way up the road to work. Your one Toireasa whatsherface is hawt though.

    Yes, yes she is. She has epic hawtness in her election poster. Great picture.

    I have been traumatised by a Clare Daly poster facing my bedroom window.

    Its in B+W does that make it an art hommage to Morticia from the Adams Family

    Classic post, there CDfm. :D

    Speaking of which, the picture below has been doing the rounds both here on Boards.ie, and on e-mail.

    I feel it is my duty, as moderator of this forum to bring to the Brothers attention none other than Emma Kiernan.

    That link will, of course, bring you to the Fine Gael Local Elections page.

    What that link won't bring you to is this:

    oops.jpg

    So, Emma, pictured in the middle, is looking for a vote.

    Will you give her one?

    (extra points for puns and appropriate captions)

    That's classic Agent Smith. Pity this place doesn't get more traffic - that deserves post of the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    I should really start thanking posts.

    I wasn't sure about thanks when they first came around, but screw it, I might as well embrace them now.

    I'm only gonna thank posts that deserve it though.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    Just so you know, Emma Kiernan was elected last saturday

    The danger is that she might bore you to sleep with her boringness and then you'd get none.

    I think you're failing yo understand the male perspective here. She can rattle on all she likes about economy this and health service that but, all the while, us men will just be seeing that picture in our heads, not hearing one word. :D
