    Just read that on breaking news. Seems legit? At last we've found a use for him. I'm sure his witty comebacks and sharp dress will go down well with other more war torn nations like.

    So, how soon can we send him to Palestine?

    Bridie's cousin, you know, married that brother of Michael's, lovely woman. Sorted out that argument at the butchers between Mary Kierse and that O'Loughlin woman. She deserves the award, bless her.

    Enda Kenny's character in the Christmas Panto.

    This is interesting. EU give him personal praise and plaudits, at the behest of following their line, at the loss of the Irish electorate. Surely he knows this himself.

    In fairness, he didn't win it. He's one of the group accepting it on behalf of Europe in honour of Europe not doing as many bad things as the rest of the world.

    The Taoiseach is reported to be attending the Nobel ceremony in Oslo as one of the recipients of the prize on behalf of the European Union.

    The EU was awarded the peace prize in honour of Europe's overseas development and peacekeeping.

    It's kinda funny giving Europe the peace prize when we're about to fall out with each other and kick off another great war!

    He'll do anything for a cheap photo-op, any jobs announcement he pops his head up, yet apart from one comment has remained totally silent on the Savita Halappanavar affair.

    I've rarely seen a politician so closely shadowed by his minders, just hope he doesn't blow it by referring to past award winners such as Mandela as ****.

    They must be stuck on finding deserving people to give this prize too. I mean why him? What has he done to deserve this? Apart from agree to pay a debt that banks created and his people have to suffer for and he is paying this debt with the people's money and paying the bankers with it too.

    They really must've been struggling to find someone to give the award this year to, if they had to stoop to giving it to the EU.



    It's a silly award really.
