    The boom, the bust, the tiger etc. In ten or twenty years, when your young wan comes home from secondary school asking you WTF were yee playing at, was it really all that mad, and how did ya not see it coming...

    How will you answer?? I think I'll probably distract him/her by trying to explain what a tracker mortgage was.

    I wonder will they blame us for the big class sizes etc. On the bright side, house prices should have bottomed by then :D

    Don't forget to mention the onion on your belt (as was the style at the time) as you go off on unrelated tangents.

    Done all I can. Hope my kids have more respect for this country than the 70% of voters who betrayed it.

    OP - I think I'll refer such questions to Seanie Fitzpatrick and similar type kunts! I think they're eminently more qualified than I to speak on such matters.

    In ten or twenty years huh?

    In that case I reckon I will answer "Ich habe nur den Befehlen gehorcht."

    I'll claim to have been part of a secret underground militant resistance movement. Our radical actions started off with putting doubles instead of singles into Biffo's drinks.

    Everything after that was classified. I can tell you, we looked awesome in our combat gear. Cool, like in Post Apocalyptic warrior or something. Not gay superhero.

    We had everything we could possibly want.... and nothing to do with any of it...

    I was the shadowman. I sat silently in the background manipulating everything. The puppetmaster.

    "Oh it was terrible, terrible! We had to sell the car, all my clothes, the cat and even the slate from the roof! Had to walk miles and miles in Penneys shoes rabble rabble!"

    This will be our version of walking six miles to school in the snow with no coat and a bottle of frozen milk. Except even more heroic.

    Might play down the preceding boom...not that I got much out of it, except a job making breakfast rolls for builders.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    I'll teach mine to cross to the other side of the road if they see a Fianna Fail man or a priest walking towards them.

    I can only hope that Jimmy Joe Joseph Michael Anthony Bollocko will turn to you and say "blame who Da?" :p

    I'll tell her 'I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.' now i dont have time for your ****, piss off and do your homework.
