    Spoke too soon :)



    So is this you trying to contribute is it :rolleyes:

    For me the irreparable damage is done. Now it's just a fun FG soap opera :)

    That’s why they went up in the opinion polls, Matt.

    Japers, 'who let the dogs out!?!' :)

    Maybe they would have gone up more?

    Just laughing at the idea you lads, (back from holliers?) might think people believe you are rando commentators :)

    ...dude.

    As I say, it's inconsequential now. She'll likely be out the door and we might get more plot *reaches for popcorn*

    I’m not Emmet or Pintman, Matt. The only people who seem to think that are those who take this site far too seriously and who spend far too little time outside, working, or having hobbies/social life.

    We are targeting two seats in the new GE election in the constituency I’m in. Poor old SF are going to have a very bad day. All good here in FG in Dublin, Matt. Shït happens when you’re the biggest party in the State.

    Never said you were. You lads just think the same and appear at the same time, I thought you might be pals is all.

    Both you lads seem very bitter and annoyed for something of little interest to youse.

    ...and we're watching the **** hit the fan and be left dripping by Leo. You realise this is a thread on Maria right? be silly not to discuss it. Even sillier to chime in on it to give out about people commenting on topic.

    I love that photo. I’m in it!! A bright young JohnnyFlash (well not that young) at the cusp of the new social media revolution. Had a heap of pints in Howl at the Moon that night if i remember correctly.

    Some of your posts used to be quite amusing, basic low level satire stuff, trolling on a different capacity. Then you started slipping into condescending righteous bollocks with a few thanks here and there, but you've pulled out this line in bold from your quote so often, you've a few thousand posts in less than two years. you're on this site non stop posting and seeking attention constantly maintaining it means nothing and all the rest on this have very little in their lives.

    go back to the brazzer banging stuff...you've been sucked in.

    Which would be fine except they won't engage in discussion. It's all attack and whataboutery. We've only one government, we should be able to talk about them without being accused of being a member of PBP or what ever.

    Two doctors. If they were any good they'd be practising.

    They've been practicing for years and still don't know how to do it right :D

    Hi Johnny, I know you're replying to someone else . . but I couldn't help but reply to this . .

    Let's be truly honest with ourselves and face facts Johhny . . . multi millionaires and truly intelligent people don't post on boards.ie.

    I'd seriously worry about any if they ever did.

    But, point missed for the smart fella Johnny is. You spend a lot of time on this to be putting people down for spending a lot of time on it. simple enough logic Doc.

    Harris works hard but the job is huge and needs more than 1 man to do it.
    I've seen the effects of it on his health during his in office.

    Not that bright either. The Blueshirts lost 23 seats in that election.They seem to put a lot of faith in social media opinion. Varadkar will soon learn the difference between Twitter accounts and people who get up early to vote him out.

    aye the children's hospital that 30 years' worth of Irish governments have repeatedly swerved

    wonder why?

    wouldn't be because they saw the obvious monstrosity in negative public opinion coming their way once they put a shovel in the ground!?

    Ireland doesn't thank anyone for capital investment... sure look at the countless public infrastructure projects either shelved or castrated by weak politicians at the first whiff of "concerned in Rathgar" raising their concerns...

    But yeah it's a FG and their minority government that done it


    Don't even try.

    That is a fiasco of mis tendering, bad planning, bad practice, bad oversight, bad project management, basically a sh1t show in every aspect.



    Tallaght or Blanch would have had it built by now but everything about the current location was for political gain (against all independent advice) and been ballsed up from then

    Sure you may as well give the 'scum' your vote as not vote for an alternative that could keep them out.

    Vote for what alternative exactly ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭GreenandRed

    I have. I know a few and they're not all bad. At least they got involved and not like us battering keyboards whinging about them. No doubt some of the will be corrupt in a few years. So if you can't beat them join them and improve things. And if you don't do that use your vote at least.Thankfully voting on families political lines is dying.Even voting for the independent you don't like at all, no transfer, is better than voting for the established party candidate you don't like at all at all.

    Independent. Someone that won't align with a main party.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,013 ✭✭✭✭James Brown


    Have you seen the quality of the candidates in this country

    My criteria are:

    Have they crashed the economy?
    Have they engaged in cronyism on the tax payers coin?
    Have they created a quango?
    Have they looked after their own?
    Have they failed to follow through again and again?
    Have they excused incompetence and cute hoorism?
    Have they failed to hold any wrongdoers to account?

    I'll take a chance on an unknown or party that hasn't been sitting in government.

    That statement is pointless and is irrelevant in terms of the discussion that is going on, the value of something is determined by its usefulness rarity influence .......

    I don't think the brave men and women you talk of were only concerned with the notion of the right to vote but aware of the power it had. that has changed whether deliberately or not the value of a vote is diminished by the q UK aliyu of the candidates

    Of the 75,000 eligible voters in my constituency 25,000 turned out. We got what we deserved but it is not representative of the constituency but it is reflective of it apathy and distrust of politics so whatever happens in the election is a reflection of peoples apathy not engagement

    It's representative of the constituency cos the 50,000 no-voters would have changed it dramatically. Even 15,000 more could have elected ann independent with that low of a quota.

    No actually you have a lot to learn. Trying to force people to vote for people they don't want to vote for and have zero respect or trust in, is not democracy . . .That's tin pot dictatorship. So try your brainwashed drivel elsewhere.
