    Think of how much he will save on the hang sanwiches and tae!
    But yes, is a tad silly.

    I do hope Cowen takes time to visit all the struggling small businesses in the surrounding area that this Tesco will probably be the death nail.


    But hey, a photo op, a few miniuim wage jobs maybe a pint or two.
    Well done Clowen, every little helps.

    Nah but maybe your friend can.

    To be fair, Brian Cowen's current popularity means that six garda cars are nowhere near enough protection.

    I was just messing with you :)

    I think we all know by now that Biggins isn't a happy camper.

    elevator you misunderstand what I was on about. Yes he was in Naas opening Tesco's new store.
    I was on about the 3 state cars and 6 Garda you quoted him using.

    On the profits, look at this way. There are 260 people employed. Where does the profits of Aldi and Lidl go?
