    Yes, which makes the irony subtle as you weren't mentioning school but a school yard. Subtle. It's a play on what you said. It's right there in the Clifton Strengths Assessment. I'm starting to doubt you even took that...

    What were your results?

    I presume empathy wasnt in it. Give me your key metrics, it might help me understand your point of view.

    Its not though,

    Which is evident as the sector is in decline outside of major urban areas.

    There is threads on it, mup was one thing which i have a problem with. It was brought in to help the sector

    And if you could sell it to people who didn’t want it you’d do that too .

    I'm sure I told you no one thinks he's a messiah about 5 pages ago. But sure, keep going.

    But they do, Have you read the thread?

    He is a breath of fresh air, he should run FF, he should run Renua.


    Again, have you read the thread ? - It does not matter a jot what you said 5 pages ago, there are various posters who see him as the great new hope of Irish politics. When in fact he is a snake oil salesman, gifted in pulling the wool over punters eyes.

    A certain poster here is making an absolute show of themselves.

    I hope for their sake that it’s just a feeble attempt at derailment because otherwise that is just one sad wretch of an existence.

    I dont know, but i can read articles..

    Do you read articles?

    Do you know the 'sector' is in decline.

    Does this give me insight into the daily operations of a pub ? - No.

    But sure whatever 'you're' having yourself

    I did, and i will again if you will let me.

    Slowly now.... and read it throughly.

    I wouldnt open any business on christmas day as its family time </end>


    I dont have a clue how a pub operates or what level of business i would expect to receive or lose should i close or open if travellers came to town for the day. therefore i cant really make an informed opinion.

    Perhaps i would make great profit (win)
    Perhaps i would not (lose)

    But as with any business i think i would want knowledge of the playing field first before making a determination.


    Is that fair? I elaborated a wee bit but my reasoning remains the same.

    Ok. Seeing as you’re not honest enough I’ll answer for you..

    You’d close

    Why ?

    Because you’d be out of business and put yourself and your staff in danger if you didn’t.

    You can’t debate honestly so I can’t take you seriously.

    Hate to break it to you dude but 16 years of Catholic school here - that's not the definition of a messiah.

    He told the truth, that's all I and most of his supporters care about. Personally I think he should stay away from politics and do something useful where he can actually make a change.

    Why do you keep asking people if they have read the thread? I have read more than most and anyone who you view to be praising Casey beyond reason is posting tongue in cheek or reacting to people going to the other extreme and calling him a snake oil salesman.

    Ya see, This is how you attack singular posters who disagree with your premise. There was a poster yesterday attacked and name called . He has not come back.

    Im afraid i dont fall for that nonsense, I can see name calling for what it is.

    Do you have anything to add to the discussion though ?

    Do you have a pub? perhaps i can learn from your inside knowledge it may help me answer some hypothetical question some randomer on the internet dreamth up.

    i typed in opinion piece travellers casey to google.

    came back straight away

    I mean there were lots of this over the last 2 weeks, i havent dreamt it up.

    You can go look if you like

    So your whole rebuttal to the liberal bias in Irish media argument is an article in a small local paper which calls Casey a weak candidate and is full of criticism of him, which appeared after the election?

    No I do not own a pub. However, I am perfectly capable of honestly answering an hypothetical question without deflection.

    But he is a snake oils salesman,

    He said something to get votes, The job at hand has no impact on the subject he spoke about, And yes he took it straight out of the trump playbook. (he lives in the states so is immersed in the subject matter)

    And people seem to think he said it for anything other than to get votes.

    He was never going to do anything with it should he have won the vote. He would sidestep that subject had he got into office and you'd hear no more about it.

    If thats not selling people air, then i dont know what is.

    Some of the things posted at you have gone too far yes but you're not shy of sticking a few sly digs in yourself so maybe come down off the horse.

    I can't say if want a beer if I don't know what a beer is, stop putting unrealistic expectations on my shoulders.

    Hypothetically ?

    Doubt it,

    It appears to be an exact definition :)

    Losing it now - everyone who lives in the USA is "immersed in Trump" ?

    Must tell the cousins over there, they'll get a kick out of that.
