So you meet Bertie Ahern in the Local

msg11

What do you do ?

I ask this question because, I have seen people happily taking snaps with him and all smilies and posting them then on facebook. A day or two later or in the past such statuses post by same user complaining about, how ****ed the country is, there taxes etc...

So why did they get in a photo with the guy who caused this mess?

Personally I know people would say they would punch his lights out etc..

I would actully tell Bertie you made such a fine mess of this country you gob****e and you should be ashamed of yourself. I would defiantly not get in a photo with him.

That is all.

Biggins

I would tell him to give up the fiction writing. It sucked!

Dotrel

I'd check my pockets and then walk slowly backwards.

The_Kew_Tour

Tell him he should have a bank account.

He has a brass neck you couldn't hang him if you tried. He honestly thinks he has done nothing and flutes around thinking he is the best thing since slice bread. Then these goons feeding his ego asking for photos then complaining about the country. Get the ****..

Wolfe Tone

I'd tell him the least he could do after everything is buy me a pint!

show him this thread

He would probably ask for water for you!
A pint of corporation pop.

A pint o bass !

I'd have a drink with him, and another and another until the conversation gets interesting, then I'd turn on my voice recorder... and smack him with it

mikemac

I could do with a digout

But since he has no bank account I'd ask for some horse racing tips

latenia

Buy 4 pints of Guinness and empty them over his head

ItsAWindUp

Glass the c unt.

starbelgrade

I'd give him some cheese.

Tipsy McSwagger

BLAST HIM WITH PISS

BAM! The old fork in the eye.

Nice noble idea in both cases but enough money has been wasted on him - and the sod probably has shares in Guinness to boot!

Uriel.

I'd just get on about my business to be honest.

No point in having a go. Wouldn't get me anywhere, except kicked out of the pub.

FF clowns fnucked the country but I refuse to wander around all day all built up with bitterness about the whole thing to be honest

Snakeblood

I'd compose a scandalous satire and recite it in front of him so he ran, tears streaming down his eyes as he realised the truths I was pointing out in my vicious invective. Or get really hammered, shout abuse and be hustled away. Whichever's easier.

Hal1

Blast him with piss in the jacks.

On a similar note, anyone see John O'Donoghue on TV recently?

By the look of him, his next move will be to retire to Tatooine to gorge himself on live frogs and entomb his enemies in carbonite.

John O'Donoghue is my kind of scum.

Ask him for a tip on the races going by his track record, make me some of that sweeeeeeeet.

LOL

He was crying in the English Times last week that he was a victim of circumstance and was been picked upon.
He claimed he suffered terribly!
It was the biggest load of bullschite I've heard from him yet.

Orando Broom

There was an old soak called Bertie
Whose dealings were shady and dirty
He loved getting cash in envelopes he'd stash
And he brought back his fair isle to the thirties

Meeting and just Seeing him in a pub are two different aspects.

You can see him and just walk on by & not actually have anything to do with him
or
you could go up & meet him at which point only you'd know why you approached him

Personally I would just leave it at seeing him. I don't have anything positive to say to him so I just wouldn't say anything at all.

Well, "meeting" could also mean wearing the face off him...



Sick man!

Eve_Dublin

Honestly? I've a terrible temper and I'd lose it completely, particularly after having a drink or two myself. I'd lose it so much I'd probably end up looking like a bit of a gobshiite so knowing myself very well, I hope our paths don't cross.

Re the idea of approaching him in a pub, do you have any idea the amount of nut jobs/stalkers/political groupies that people in public life attract, he has heard it all a billion time already although if it make you feel better!

Smash a pint over his head
That'll learn him.

I would say job well done and say he was an underrated Taoiseach. He did well in the peace process. Big credit must be given for that.

Badgermonkey

I'd express my vitriol for his toxic legacy through the medium of modern contemorpary dance. The nuances of my bold and abstract body work may be lost on the man, but I'd also be sure to nip into St. Lukes on the way home for a cathartic widdle through his letter box.

John Hume and many others in the background did a HELL of a lot more.

Mentality behind that post and near every other post you make in this forum:

Filthy taigs say x about y, I must say the exact opposite! /troll

I would say to him '' Ahh....I know who you are , your the fellow that looks like and does impersonation of Bertie '' ...har har

It was important some one spoke from the Irish state though and he did just that. Very underrated by some when you consider the GFA was one of the biggest moments in a century on the island.

Peetrik

The man should be handcuffed naked in a currach and pushed in the general direction of england... or whatever the old law is for treason.

Prior to Mr Ahern, many were speaking for the state in the background.
Politicians, priests, and others.
Ahern came along in the latter stages frankly to partly hog the camera I feel.

If anyone says the peace agreements was on the whole down to him, is being non-accepting of a fuller truth and is doing those that have toiled long and hard for years quietly, a dis-service.

Quandary

Here's what you could do...

Go up to the bar beside him, order your drink and using ninja-esque subtlety you could spike his drink with the most powerful laxative available.

then wait 10 minutes, and head into the jacks and fcuk all the toilet paper out the window.

Finally, sit back and wait to see how full of ****e he really is

I'd punch him, scream, shout, kick him in the face and destroy him in so many ways it would become a creative science....

Have met Bertie. He is a nice fellow. Came across so anyway. Was in Croke Park. Crossed under the old Hogan Stand and shuck my hand and wanted to know where i was from, how i went to Croke Park, did it take long to get there and said it was nice to meet you.

Was in Cork a few weeks back. Dr James Reilly was about five feet from me and someone else. Compleatly ignored me and the person i was with. He was only interested in meeting big s***s in suits. The lot of them, the minister included all had false laughs. His driver was even parked in a no parking area. Was going to go and tell him to go and f***ing move as the minister no longer had the privilage of a GArda driving a state car and therefore no longer should have the perks he would have if he was in a state car.

The minster came across as stuck up, where as Bertie for all his faults had the manners to go and meet the ordionary people and have some few words with them, even if it was only chit chat.

Short version and moral: Don't judge a book by its cover.

I, too have met and spoken to both.
Reilly (Crumlin Hospital protests and at the Dail) came across to me as professional and very knowledgeable by his area of stuff he was assigned to.
Ahern (meetings in Dublin) came across as too friendly. Like a sweet that is TOO sugary to be true! I got the impression every time, that one should not turn ones back on him.

Reilly has changed so, as it was Cork University Hospital's main entrance that i met him. He just did not give one f*** about the people that were going in and out to clincs etc.

Possible you seen him on a bad day or when he was just busy?
He does come across as cold and clinical at times I will admit.
If you actually get to talk to him though, you will quickly realise that "by god, he knows his stuff" - and I can say that as a clear critic of him sometimes.

He is what he is, very professional, he has NO time for bullschite, wafflers, idle useless chit-chat and if thats what its takes to get our governmental systems sorted and our departments, then I've no problem with he spending less time in kissing babies and turning out the charm just for PR offensives occasionally.

If Mr Ahern was only so or even just as professional, this country would be so far better off - but he was too busy applying the charm offensive to the masses and allegedly lining his pockets in the background!

I prefer the former and despise the latter.
