People have obviously actually voted for Mannix. Joe,,,, I dunno how well he'd do in a ballot.

I do be thinking Joe has political aspirations. I wouldn't rule it out.

Infested leg ? Go on mannix ask Joe about his leg ? Go on please.

Jesus Mannix can talk at some speed.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. Even Joe wouldn't be daft enough to use his position to campaign for himself, but a few hints and manipulation in the year or so beforehand...

Can I just inject there

Atlantic Dawn · 02-09-2016 02:33PM

The system clearly doesn't work, they simply give them mehadone and they are sent on their way. It's the same as the famines in Africa.

I didn't know that mannix Flynn was a martyr for the drink. I mean fair play to him getting his lives in order.

They should be dragged in IMO or prison.

Apart for himself of course.

I don't mean for some lowly councillor or TD job where he'd actually have to do some work, I'm thinking more in terms of a Presidential/ceremonial role, where he'd have to do feck all but be a figurehead but would be handsomely rewarded for doing so. And he'd get to live in De Arus, a home befitting a man of his stature.

But before we gave them methadone, "community experts" demanded it. Now they give out to the govt for the fact they give methadone.

It's not just methadone. It's free money, healthcare, transport.

Butters can you call in about the woman who had a ****e beside your car?

The thought of Joe running would be gas?

Maybe the "unwell" should start taking some responsibility for their own lives and not be always blaming 'society' for their problems?

Don't get me wrong, they absolutely should take responsibility but without a constant key worker there because of a lack of funding/resources, they'll continue to be put on a carousel and thrown into various services that have the same (if not worse) problems as the last one.

Trust me, I've gone through a social care degree and a lot of our lecturers worked in these settings and just said that they can only do so much.

Same with fellow peers who have done their placements in these services and just said that they're understaffed and severely under funded to do the job they're being asked to do.

It's a horrible situation from both sides and to be honest, it's understandable to an extent why drug users blame society for their woes but at the end of the day, they have the capacity to turn it around.

It's a horribly depressing catch 22.

Independent most likely, but there's a chance he could run for his beloved FF if they called him.

He's so out of touch he probably thinks he'd be wildly popular.

I can just imagine President Joe rubbing shoulders with the other World Leaders.

McDermotX · 02-09-2016 02:37PM

He was a polite unwell.

Roger_007 · 02-09-2016 02:38PM

Having a bang?.............I thought that meant something else?

furiousox · 02-09-2016 02:38PM

...and then I sat down and then I stood up and then I read a paper and then I looked out the window....

That_Guy · 02-09-2016 02:38PM

I wish Joe wouldn't say "bang" *shudders*

Atlantic Dawn · 02-09-2016 02:38PM

Pure aggression with these scum is the only thing that puts them back in their box, works every time.

He could do a Sean Gallagher and be "Independent FF". :-)

I'd rather not!

Wonder would he take that call? Honestly though after the amount of complaints I've made about the show and the host I'm pretty sure an alarm would go off in RTE if my number flashed up on the incoming call screen.
