    I mean the serious, important stuff. none of this banking, PS pay nonsense. the stuff that affects your daily life.

    i'd ban women of a certain height from using umbrellas as the spiky bit is eye level for me, almost had my eye poked out a few times.

    ban sachets of ketchup - most annoying things ever.

    the annoying please mind the fcuking gap when alighting the train announcements - if you're dumb enough to fall into the gap then you're doing the world a favour.

    Anyone caught throwing McDonalds wrappers out the window of their car while in the vacinity of my house would have to work for four months in the dump, barefoot and no gloves or mask while separating plastic bottles and the like from the rest of the rubbish

    Make an army of clones that suck human brains to take over the rest of the universe...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭Daniel S


    Turn the entire army into special forces, then loose half of it, but arm them properly.
    Reform the social welfare system
    Exile a shíte load of people who don't apprieciate this country.
    Stop spending money on people who dont apprieciate it, or care for what they've been given.
    If you don't contribute to "the system", you shouldn't get anything from it.
    Do something about the health system, I don't know, but I'd get someone who does.
    Encourage more people to do Higher Level Maths. Make it double points also.
    Make certain courses like engineering in college completely free. Fcuk arts, there's a rescession.
    Screwing up the country = Treason. This will be made law.
    Feminists.... do something about them. Dunno what. Same applies to masculists (I think they're called that).
    Religious bigots. Shoot them, they'd be happier with their God.
    Divide Irish into language and literature for leaving cert. Seperate subjects with only the language being compulsary.

    Try and get the country working like Switzerland. Swiss women would be nice too :D

    I think I need to go dictate a book to someone about my ideas... :pac:

    EDIT 1 (There's more to come!):
    Yes, ban whinging children in public places. They're your problem, not mine.
    Turn recycling dumps into reusing dumps. If someone throws out a car or pc, let someone else take it and use it. Damn, I miss the old way Inagh dump worked :(
    EDIT 2: Lower tax hugely, stop taxing the middle class/slightly upper class. I want to aim for something in life, like. Those with billions should be taxed. Bono too. Hypocrite.

    Anyone who goes to the toilet with the door open is punished by death.
    Make people who go to tesco or lidl and buy 20 x2l bottles of water drink from the toilet.
    Also punish lidl staff for their checkout policy

    I'd make it compulsory for politicians to adopt the minimum wage, punishment for not doing this would be having their balls wired to a car battery.

    I would hold 50 days of gladiatorial games in my honour. Prisoners will be able to fight for their freedom against the most feared animals on the planet.

    Get rid of the water tax.
    Ban people from walking 3 or 4 side by side - I don't want to be caught behind a funeral when out shopping.
    Ban children from public places.
    Bring in a max age forcing people to give up their driving licence when they reach it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    All women are required to make a daily quota of samiches for men......naked.

    Research Labrador puppies that are stunted to that uber cute size until they die.

    1 cent coins are banned.

    All workplaces have slides for transport throughout the building.

    A statue of me must be erected (hehe erected) in every major city in the world. It shall depict me wearing a toga with bulging ripped pecks while carrying orphans from a collapsing, burning building.

    Or something like that....

    I would make a reality TV show were all politicians had to go train with the Army Rangers to make those f**kers sweat. And yes every week the Irish public gets to vote which politician has to suffer what.

    Yes, every prisoner will fight a different animal. It shall be a tournament. 128 Humans v 128 different animal species in the 1st round. We will also be hosting a battle royal preliminary round with all of the prisoners to see who is fit to fight the animals. Then it shall be an open draw to see who is the true king (apart from me of course) and the winner shall go back to its true habitat. If the winner is human then he shall be awarded with all the wine and whores he can feast on.
