Dear After Hours...........

    ........ I come to you in peace with a question?

    And the question is this?

    Why oh why must EVERY thread not last 1 page without a reference to the recession, the banks, corrupt politicians and the general state of the country?

    I mean, it doesn't matter what the topic of the thread is, someone always mentions these things.

    We're all ****ed, we get it! But the next time someone starts a thread "What would you name your cat?" they're not asking for a political statement from you. Don't say "Bertie, because banks yadda yadda i'm on the dole because of Fianna Fail yadda yadda". It's not funny! Say "Mittens, Mittens is a nice name for a cat".

    Cheers!

    I'd take a stab in the dark and say it's down to the recession, the banks, corrupt politicians and the general state of the country.

    Yea it's a pain in the ass isn't it. Us Irish are great at complaining...we seem to love it & we will be giving out about these things for another 30 years i'd say.
    I do get sick of hearing about "the recession" myself...Wish people would talk about other things.

    The banks put you up to posting this thread :(

    And just after I'd managed to forget about them...

    Bertie is a great name for a cat. NAMA the cat has a nice ring to it too.

    Thing is, when people try to talk about other subjects, somebody ALWAYS mentions the economy
    If I had a cat i'd call it Giant Midget, because that name is awesome!

    I once saw a cat fight a badger. I think his name was Mittens...... the badger not the cat, don't know what he was called.

    I have about as much hope in the banking system as I do in religious systems, but at least I know the banking system exists.

    Guy walks into a bar with an enormous Newt under his arm and orders a beer.

    After some small talk about the price of pint dropping during the recession the Barman finally asks what the man calls his newt.

    "Tiny," answered the customer.

    "You can not call a newt that big 'tiny'," answered the Bar man dismayed.

    "Of course I can," replied the customer, "He is my newt".

    Thats life...
    We have had moaning threads...
    Then occasionally we get moaning threads about moaning threads...
    Personally, I'm just waiting for the moaning threads complaining about moaning threads, that refer to an original moaning thread...

    O' well, thats life. :pac:

    TBF, if Bertie did a better job this country wouldn't be in a recession and therefore people wouldn't be picking on the Religious folk like priests. But alas, the housing market has crashed, the bankers are thieves and some other rabble about unimportant stuff
