    Now is a time to blast ourselves with piss. We must blast ourselves with piss in order to progress as a nation. We will blast ourselves with piss for many, many years so that our children and their children after that, will not have to blast themselves with piss.

    That's it, I'm off.

    Doesn't matter what we do, we are shagged.

    This is the first of several punishing budgets.

    People need to stop whining and take what's coming.

    I don't need to worry too much as I am and will be loaded for the rest of my life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭Kensington

    and he has EVERY right to nail those FF bastards becasue they ARE mostly at fault for destroying the country

    heres hoping he declares a dictatorship and his fist decree will be to have FF outlawed - its td's and councilors hung along the quays in dublin and cork
    and anyone who voted for them having their taxs and charges doubled for life

    FFS this country - they are going up in the polls :confused::confused::confused:

    we all should never ever forget what those bandits done to our republic

    i would rather sign the gaff over to the brits than let FF anywhere NEAR power again - like the jewish people and the holocaust - dont ever stop telling your young of the horror of that era

    think im exaggerating - go to your local hospital, school or dole office

    i agree - but when the fu2k up they will get the same punishment at the polls

    what annoys me is the brass neck of FF and its cult members assuming 12 months later we will all have forgotten :eek:
    i was listening to newstalk last week and a FF bandit said " change the record - you cant keep using that as a excuse " i nearly drove to the studio to kick the crap out off the FF lackey

    they can use it and should becasue they would not have to sell the country if FF did not completely fu2k the place up

    FG will get the same if they do the same - but ill wait and see
    TBH i feel slightly sorry for them becasue in fairness its the poison chalice of all poison chalices

    Enda Kenny: "People of Ireland, we must cooperate wholly and fully with the ECB as it is in Ireland's interests ... etc... in the interest of European unity ... stability of the future economy ... jobs ... sharing the burden ... our children's future ... dignity and respect ... etc..."

    Reading between the lines:

    Enda Kenny: "People of Ireland, we are totally fucked. It's time now to prostate ourselves in front of our new Supreme German Overlords in the Deutscher Bundestag and await 800 years of Teutonic fiscal discipline. Heil Merkel!"

    FG can make a change right now if they so wanted and cared enough for the country. Instead today we saw Enda Kenny's adviser given a pay rise above and beyond the pay cap. That's insulting each and every single one of us forced down the the austerity path because we don't belong in the golden gravy train. Austerity and poverty for the little men working like paupers.
