One of the lads from the Solidarity party was on the Last Word home this evening, Mick Barry I think, saying that all our financial problems were caused by the greedy bankers and had nothing to do with our public spending.

I doubt I would actually agree with someone from the Solidarity Party, but very few of our problems in Ireland were caused by public spending.

I heard him. Not an impressive speaker but an insight into the mindset of those who are seeking pay restoration. His only real response when put to him that it was unsustainable spending on public salaries that contributed to the crash his mantra was "I disagree". He seemed happy to put all the blame squarely on the banks and developers.

In 2008 we were guilty of sleepwalking into a financial crisis. Now we're not sleepwalking into anything. We are consciously and knowingly strolling into it. Tax intakes are only now starting to reach 2007 levels again. This is the rationale for pay restoration. Aside from the fact that the pay levels were completely bloated and unrealistic, there are approximately an additional 500k people now in this country. With the same tax intake, the available funds are significantly tighter yet the unions want a return to their previous salaries.

It boggles the mind that the average public sector salary is €47k a year.

Yeah, I've done that.

I'm hoping Spiral returns for another season.

Also next round of Fargo due out I think and season 2 of stranger things.

Spiral is filming season 6 now.

I think I'll try my hand at making the English subtitles for The Bridge if someone else doesn't get there first.

I thought that I wasn't going to like it without Martin but was pleasantly surprised by season 3. Season 4 is filming at the moment and is due to air in January...it's the last one though

The Killing (Forbrydelsen) is also really good if you haven't seen it.

4 episodes to date.

I just about didn't watch it, as I found the second series dragged. But it's much better without Martin IMO.

Also I discovered a little gem of an app called Infuse: so I download episodes to my ancient laptop, then put them onto the phone, stick on the beats headphones with bluetooth connection and watch away on the Infuse app without disturbing other half.

Happy days.

If you are into music, 'searching for sugarman' is an excellent entertaining documentary

Davy Fitz gets 8 weeks. Should have missed the whole summer. Madness that the GAA are giving him what equates to a 2 match ban for running 40 yards onto the field and getting into an altercation with opposition players.

If he wasn't a media darling, there would be a far harsher response by them.

He is a smug, angry little man.

The all star awards after Clare won the all Ireland produced a cloud of smug that took months to clear.
