    But for a slight accident of no money and space to keep it, I'd have had one in 1975, when big cars were being virtually given away. If things had been different, I'd have taken it and kept it until now, if I could.
    Same in 1978, had to turn down an Interceptor for peanuts.

    On the other end of the scale. I know a lad who built himself a big hanger (( during the mad boom) then went and bought himself a helicopter to put in it. Was taking lessons but like any kid with a toy couldn't resist fiddling with it . Anyways he rotated the blades too much and up she went and hopped off the ceiling. When he went to get it repaired the accident investigation crowd were down on him like a ton of bricks. Several hundred grand down the swanney.

    "When the good times come again", or as they call it in RTE "Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever after".

    POSSIBLY (but unlikely to be) on twodaze show:

    From Ronan Collins to Michael Collins....smooth. His death has been dominating the debate since de coalition was announced. I personally haven't discussed anything else.....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Is it de end of de Civil War? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Clip from Gerry De Vanny from yesterday.

    6th class pupils should come back so de childers can see de teachers who day love. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    So this year so far there will have been 3 topics broadcast on national media purely because of the hosts relationship with the people in question: Syl Fox, Ivor Callaly and soon a retiring producer. I'm not going to include Gleeson or the american one as I think they were just incidental. I couldnt count the people who let slip that their family are connected to ballyfermot or Joe's own family in some oblique way.

    Even when Joe was starting out as a minion to Gaybo, he was at that. He did an outside broadcast outside a house where a relative was being evicted, telling de wurrld how unjust it was.

    Aonghus left bosco after been caught peeing in a plant in his office.

    Or maybe I’m mixing him up with a different producer.

    I took a couple of chopper lessons, they are tricky and require extreme finesse in handling. Could have hacked it with the right amount of money and of course with the correct eyesight & medical requirements. During the atifer far too many people bought and wrecked helicopters, commonly hitting the boom by trying to manoeuvre in spaces far too tight. And even then very many people couldn’t afford to run anything bigger than a Robinson 22, the most tricky little chopper to fly in the world. Choppers are really really good fun to fly if you are suited to it, and very many people simply do not have the care and finesse required to operate them. They are all about what you don’t do, and how you respond to temain master of the controls. You literally fly them with your fingertips and your mind.

    O'Riordan makes me sick. If having people of different races was such a big deal for him why didn't he step aside at the last election and let somebody else from a minority group run for his part? in fact how is he happy to sit in the place if looking around at all those white men gives him such a problem. Surely he is part of the problem then?

    Suggesting putting a few different faces in the Seanad is the ideal solution for him - he gets to virtue signal to everybody and give a pious speech in front of the nation, and it's no skin off his nose as it doesnt affect him or his wages at all.
