    Think of how much he will save on the hang sanwiches and tae!
    But yes, is a tad silly.

    I do hope Cowen takes time to visit all the struggling small businesses in the surrounding area that this Tesco will probably be the death nail.


    But hey, a photo op, a few miniuim wage jobs maybe a pint or two.
    Well done Clowen, every little helps.

    Nah but maybe your friend can.
    But I heard Mary Harney got painted today.... and that's true.

    To be fair, Brian Cowen's current popularity means that six garda cars are nowhere near enough protection.

    I was just messing with you :)

    I think we all know by now that Biggins isn't a happy camper.

    260 jobs created in a UK store that will have most profits seen pour out of the country? correct me if I'm wrong

    elevator you misunderstand what I was on about. Yes he was in Naas opening Tesco's new store.
    I was on about the 3 state cars and 6 Garda you quoted him using.

    On the profits, look at this way. There are 260 people employed. Where does the profits of Aldi and Lidl go?
