No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

we can trow stones lad ever drive down true rathkeale or longford town and see the native irish in the uk reg Ferrari etc never worked a day in there life there is bad eggs in every country

all i know is who ever is left over in the ukraine they are given the red army plenty of casualties

They have for sure, Russia expected to have whole country taken over in a couple of weeks. Everyone is getting war weary though, four years to be fighting is a long time. The was a Ukrainian girl here working for my mother and she told us there's loads of serious car crashes on the roads in Ukraine now because so many men are suffering from severe PTSD and causing loads of crashes.

Those jobs are going to be under threat anyway under his "America First" policy. Also Israel is positioning itself to be a global IT hub and most of the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon have plans to make it a major part of their operations selling into Asia and the EU. The control the Zionists now have of America makes the latter a real threat and even homegrown IT giants like the Collisons are big backers of this approach with already a signficant presence in Tel Aviv and are donors to MAGA polticicians in the US. I don't think any amount of shamrock bowles is going to shield us much from that ugly reality:(

What do we expect, we jump up and down as a country to constantly bitch and moan about America who we have deep historical ties with while we align ourselves with every third world hole under the sun who don't even know we exist.

We are lucky most of the Americans don't know how much large amounts of the Irish public simultaneously hate and look down on them while being economically dependant on them to make ends meet - beggers on horse back!

Thats a very simplistic view - the issue is Trump's destructive MAGA policies that plenty of American people oppose too and its negative affects on Ireland via tariffs, treatment of Irish emigrants in the US etc. If your that impressed by the US you should be more concerned about the mounting threats to its democracy via him and his deranged supporters!!

No where is perfect but what country has been better for Ireland and the Irish? We hold the yanks to very high standards that we don't apply elsewhere.

I've worked in MNCs and seen the incredible prosperity they bring to this country, so many of them have actual genuine affection for us it's incredible. Yet too many of our own people belittle them here at any chance they get and seem to think we are somehow better than them while simultaneously holding our hands out for their money?

We need them far more than they need us, there would be a long line of countries waiting to get the deals and investments we have. We should be leaning into America and our connections to them, not whining at the sidelines constantly about everything they do.

Buying things on done deal or adverts can be such a nightmare. During the recession there were lots of used machinery auctions which I much preferred, not so many good ones there days unfortunately.

Im working there at the moment if that job gets finished in 3 years it will be a miracle its as slow as tar here.

Christ, is there nowhere safe from the US/Israeli trollbots????

Lad, people can have a different view from you without being a bot, take it easy.

went to look at a power washer the other week. I was very clear to him on the phone that I would have to see it working, he said yes no bother. And before I left I asked him again and he said yes and he was in Ashbourne, to ring him when there for directions. Arrived in Ashbourne only for him to tell me he was half an hour drive back the way I had just came. Then when I got there it couldn’t be tested as he had no water or electricity. I don’t know how I didn’t loose it with him there and then. I had the right mind of ringing him to meet again and not showing up

A 100HP 4WD. I'd rather not say the make. 😉
