The nigerian lads romance ones would be good craic! Or a fake hotel!

i was going to suggest a rogue trader or a violation of human rights (the cancelling of a holy communion)

You'd need a separate programme to discuss other allegations about my father and his finances says Sean.

We'd need a year of programmes Sean and I safely bet you'd be nowhere to be heard on any of them

I don't know if that is true it would depend when you joined I would think, you have to retire at 65 I think still?

Think you can get an extension but there's weird things like you have to drop back payscales etc. Tis far away in the distance for me but my manager in my last place retired at 65 but had only joined in his late 40s. He hummed and hawed about staying on but didn't want to drop back the payscales. Then another person I worked with had 40 years before she turned 65 but she still had a small mortgage to service so she stayed on a shorter week. Then she just woke up one day, was so annoyed with stuff that was going on in the office and said "feckit I'll manage" and put in her papers sotospeak.

I am only going by my last department people had to retire at 65, they had to pretend to authorities to be looking for work til they were 67 bizarrely...

Remember that dreadful Haughey programme with Littlefinger playing Haughey in the worst fright wig ever. It was probably the funniest thing on RTE in years, but not intentionally..

miriam o'callaghan will be fuming, speaking to the normal peeples of norn iron is her speciality

Back to LBC and guff about closing pubs early....

Haughey was central to the Arms Trial, he was accused of illegally importing arms for the North.

You're saying that he not involved in this story.

Does Joe have a Charlie fixation, you must think so, I don't.

How am I saying Haughey wasn't central to the arms trial? Of course he was. What Joe is doing is using the cloak of the vindication and mistreatment of the army officers to re-habilitate Haughey.
Joe is a dyed in the wool Fianna Failer, and he tried to re-habilitate Callely some months back.
IT IS VENAL and an abuse

A staunch Nordie can always out history a southern softie.
