Bubbaclaus wrote: » Some tangent there McMurphy. 2 senior members of our Government are receiving threats from abroad and you post that waffle rather than simply condemning it? Welcome back.

Bubbaclaus wrote: » You seem confused James. Maybe read back the posts in chronological order? McMurphy came in to nitpick about my use of the word 'abroad'. You are giving out about nitpicking, I sinply pointed out to you that it was McMurphy, not me, that was nitpicking over it. Simple.
James Brown wrote: » I'm talking about your use of the word 'abroad'. As were McMurphy and yourself. You even posted the definition. You were trying to justify the use of it. I'm criticising the use of it.

James Brown wrote: » Commenting on the use of 'abroad', as with 'confidential' and 'recent', we both know where the pedantry lies.

McMurphy wrote: » It's a discussion site, for discussing things. I found your "abroad" comment odd, I even mentioned Leo and his overseas comment when I picked up on it. It would appear mighty odd to me if someone posts something here, which has shown to be controversial to some (see Leo's apology), and technically incorrect anyway, to describe six other counties on the same island, and them get annoyed about anyone wanting to "nit pick" part of the discussion, on a web site for discussing things. The poor province of Ulster must feel rightly cheated that 3/9 counties are abroad from each other.... That's worth commenting on bubbs.
Bubbaclaus wrote: » I'm honoured to hear that you feel my opinions are worth commenting on Murphy, but this isn't a thread about Bubbaclaus. Fact of the matter is that 2 senior members of our government are receiving threats from another jurisdiction and some people seem more worried about my use of the word 'abroad' over the security of our government judging by the nitpicking going on here.
James Brown wrote: » You're the one used it and defended the use of it. Not a big deal just getting the facts straight.
Bubbaclaus wrote: » You came in randomly accusing me of nitpicking, when it was the opposite was the case and someone was nitpicking about words used by me. If you are changing your argument now then fair enough but at least be upfront and honest about it. If anyone is bothered enough to see the real "facts" they can go back and check all of that, so no need for dishonesty. This thread has been pulled off topic enough as it is by this silly vendetta against my innocuous post, so i'm going to leave it go now. Good luck.

A festival management company that imported €10m worth of Chinese ventilators for the HSE which were never used sold two high-spec luxury cars for approximately €325,000 on the same day earlier this year. Roqu Media International, a sister company of Roqu Group, sold a 2017 Maserati Gran Turismo and a 2017 Ferrari 488 Spyder to a dealership in Dublin on January 26. ..... .... Roqu first purchased the Maserati on March 14, 2020, nine days before the company received €14.1m from the HSE for the procurement of 328 ventilators from China. In the end, just 64 devices were delivered, with Roqu returning €3.8m, while the HSE has engaged the services of legal firm Philip Lee to aid it in recouping some or all of the €10.3m outstanding via dispute resolution...
