    Now that Coveney has two portfolios, does that mean Ag Food For was only a part time job?? :)

    I wonder though why Coveney wasn't moved -like a lot of the rest of them ? Do they reckon he is doing a great job and got Defence added as a bonus or they think de farmers are getting a bit uppity and will need a bit more control :D

    In reality we have 1 minister now covering what I think were 4 portfolios, ag, marine, fisheries and defense. Was there a food one as well?

    Why don't they lump health, justice, finance, and labour in together? We'd save a fortune in political pensions.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    He might go down but he won't stay there. You could sandblast him for a day and you still wouldn't want to turn your back on whatever was left. My money's on con.
