Ireland is now president of Europe.

squod

So Edna is now the European president since New Years day. If you had five minutes alone with him what would you ask him to push for?

Leaving aside all the usual AH topics of pro-abortion, gay marriage and cuts to social welfare. I reckon we lobbby him to introduce another bank holiday in the year.

A kind of jokers card that suits weather conditions. Simply a paid day off for everyone during a sunny spell in summer.

The Irish bank holiday Monday.

Your ideas AH?

5 minutes alone with him. I'd say their would be one or two who would not be planning on talking.

"Now I have them in my pocket! They have recognized me as a partner in their negotiations!" Hitler Edna told Rudolf Hess

European president? Ha!

European presidency means nothing, it's like a responsibility to arrange meetings. Enda is not the European President, it doesn't give Ireland any power. It's just a responsibility that's passed along every six months like doing chores on certain days.

Sweet Jesus..

Ruari Quinn promised workers two extra holidays
One was to be St Bridgets Day

And if you don't know when St Bridgets Day is then you were not listening in school


What's the story Ruari?
Another lying Dub politican? :mad:

Hippies!

Are we calling him Edna now?

Who was President yesterday before Enda? Who will be president in 6 months after Enda? The job is a glorified version of having his picture on Time.

Baroso, VanRumpoy, the head of the parliament and some rotating 6 month gob****e all claim to be head of the EU. They still have to wait in line to kiss Angela Merkel's ass.

Apparently some norwegans liked Quisling. I'd say he won a few awards fro Reich newspapers also.

Enda is a religious over the top straight acting bigot! :mad:

One of the following things:


- 'Do you really think that The Gathering is a good idea, and not some sure-to-fall-on-its-arse diaspora grabbing, money hungry scam?'

- 'Merkel, Clinton, Creighton: Put them in descending order of sexual desire'

- 'Were you ever a leftie? Were you a liberal who grew up in the 'big, bad, immoral, sexually charged, heathen world' and changed tactics?'

- 'Do you always attend mass?'

- 'If you could eliminate one European country, which would it be?'

- 'Daddy or Chips?'

- 'Is there anything to be said for saying another mass?'


You get the idea.

I'd push him to the window. Sadly, I do not know my own strength. There could be an overshoot.

If Edna is ''religious'' I'll eat my chocolate hat. That lad would spontaneously combust if he went near a church.

Hey Enda, any chance of some relief on the VRT?

I'm not sure if you know about it, but there is a European Union forum here.

Yes, but they give this a fancy title so that we feel important. Similar to the way I give my secretary the title of Executive Assistant.

The gig is: Ireland as a government is responsible for the functioning of the councils. Do you know when ministers and all meet up? Irish givernment has to arrange that and prepare an agenda, that's all it is.

It's not the President of Europe, it's the Presidency of The European Council. It's a glorified secretary job.

Step 1: Fire Angela
Step 2: Pay the dipstick senior bondholders in monopoly money (Gerry Adams can help there).
Step 3: Invade Poland (everybody does)
Step 4: Surrender to the Yanks and suggest they rebuild our economy a la Marshall Plan.

Simples.

I'd tell him the Aviva isnt big enough (well for most matches it is but who cares) and unveil plans for the Edna Bowl in Castlebar.
