    Had I enough possible prior media tried future knowledge notice, I would have dropped a note to a friend of mine who works with PJ as a reporter/researcher/general information type person.

    I’m sure he would have been only too happy to brief the Peedge and inform his questioning.

    A missed opportunity on my behalf.

    Hypocrisy, thy name is Rudd.

    He’s cribbing and moaning this evening about the amount paid out to private landlords by the state, year on year.

    Rudd? Where the fook do you think the roof over your head comes from? The house fairy?

    Feel free to get a job and take some of the burden off the working people of Ireland, in respect of the privately owned dwelling wherein you reside at the expense of the state. We’ll wait.

    Just as hypercritical as his sharing of posts about job vacancies ... when he has no intention of ever applying


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    The Jeffster has generously come out and extended the full support of himself and his mighty party to the INMO in respect of their current action.

    If he got off his wizened behind and paid his way, it may be of possible far more greater further financial tried assistance help to the state’s purse, and allow the hard pressed front line health workers a little more leeway in terms of earnings and reward.

    but your not supposed to Kop that!

    It is telling that despite the states best efforts he still can't command a weekly wage. In his 'interview' on 96fm he alluded to having another degree (history or something); along with his (paid for by the state) springboard course from DKIT. He never mentioned anything about his IT Teaching career or legal expertise

    Or, bodyguard to the stars, special ops type military hero, friend, confidante and lover to any number of hollywood celebs, and successful business owner in the UK and further afield. All of which fascinating anecdotes he related on here with reckless abandon.

    "Close contact support" is how he phrased his security experience if iirc..

    Lecturer in "computers". That wasn't mentioned

    What about his work with homeless charities and working the food banks? Not mentioned.

    What about his hydro-engineering plan to solve Drogheda's flooding problem? (this was one of his main running platforms last time out (although he never revealed what his solution was to a problem that was hardly there).

    Has he actually done anyrhing local to help his local society?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,913 ✭✭✭Pintman Paddy Losty


    Can anyone link to his posts where he claims to have been a secret service style bodyguard and lover of the stars?

    There is more to the job than just jumping in front of bullets.
    Thats more than a bit of a misconception. The job is about using ones brains!
    Know the dangers, quickly recognising the turkey shoot points, spotting the things that look 'odd' in a crowd, diversifying alternate routes, being prepared, being able NOT to be spotted as a bodyguard at times, recognising the various multiple people formations and methods used by people stalking and/or doing their own security assessment before eventually attacking an intended target. One has to be able to know which vehicles are best for different types of jobs (and know how each is additionally effected by ground terrain, changing weather and by incoming weapon fire, etc), be resourceful quickly with ones immediate surroundings, know how to adapt and have good range in skill in not just weapons but how to also make use of every day objects and turn them into such or use them as a method of non-offensive protection.

    This film created image of "O' a bodyguard just is about having to jump in front of bullets" is a daft film/media misconception.
    Bodyguards are paid high money, they however are most times bored out of their tree if they are NOT doing their job of constant observation and assessment.
    It all takes brains to know and do this stuff (quickly!), not just an ability (if you believe what you see on screen) that you can throw yourself in front of a body!

    Something like this...

    Is it true that Jeff taught Elvis how to play karate?

    His skills are needed in Drogheda more than ever now .. with the evolvingntuft war going on !

    I’m up the Drogheda direction and I’m not aware of any organisation of which he volunteers or offers his ‘skills’ to.

    There is always groups and organisations seeking volunteers and struggling to get them. He must be too busy

    Wow. Full-blown Walter Mitty.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    His grammar wasn’t as appalling then.

    It does seem to have deteriorated drastically since then.

    He adopted a weird phrasing when he took over DDI. I assume he thinks he's hitting a presidential tone. Maybe it is, but not of an English speaking country.

    What a complete and utter nonse!! Flat out reading spy novels and thinking he’s an expert !! A bit like his reading of ‘legal law books’ and being an expert !

    Speaking of being an expert...

    This gem while windbagging about bogus calls from Microsoft.


    "I am an I.T. expert and triple well covered".


    Not just an expert and well covered to deal with his own I.T. problems.
    This guy is TRIPLE well covered.


    I respect that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,718 ✭✭✭✭padd b1975


    Some Nutjob in the comments suggested it was TD's that were making the calls!!!

    Oh mercy!

    This is the same IT expert that had to spend three days sorting out all the stuff that went wrong when he was ‘hacked’ and the same IT expert who thought a couple of unplugged cables (probably by one of his children) was the doing of Leo’s secret service ....

    IT "expertise" and weapon's grade paranoia are a dangerous mix.
