    I can see FF getting wiped off the Irish political map in the Election now. They'll keep their strongholds in Tipp and Cork but otherwise, I see the Shinners being a larger party than them!

    The Shinners do not have, nor will they ever have, enough candidates to overtake FF.

    I have an awful suspicion that FF will not do as badly as we think they might. Too many pothole fillers out there who the idiot classes will vote for.

    And its that exact reason as to why everyone should vote.

    I did a speedtest on my broadband yday and it was coming out at .97 dl, 1.5 ul.

    I knew I was paying for more, so rang thema dn they immediately fixed it so I now have about 3.5 dl. I just wonder how many people have this "problem" which their provider conveniently does not check.

    I was hoping you were going to say eircom.
    They told me i would get 6mb and then for some reason my router stats say its only allowing in 4mb.
    They say to call the engineers but i know its not a problem on my end. I dont want paying out 100 squids to have a lad come out and poke around my phone sockets.

    finally Villa are showing ambition in the transfer market Makoun coming from a CL team and a record transfer on a striker who love em or hate him he scores goals. 5m bid in for Adam too, Villa's season can only get better.

    Is it true that Gary Glitter has picked up an Aston Villa season ticket? Apparently he likes the forwards, as he's heard that they're Young, Bent and possibly Keane.:pac:
    :(:(

    Yep.

    I don't mind Catwomen been in the next film and she is a decent actress so no bother their.

    Bane however is a very cartoonish character, going to be hard work to not make him look stupid in this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q


    Ugggh. Bane. **** sake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    intresting choices but i think good ones at least its finally have set choices and all the rumours can stop now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q

    Bane is an amazing character. Ignore that piece of **** Batman and Robin film, that wasn't the Bane from the comics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q


    Yeah, thats my only experience with him tbh.

    Ah, he is more than a big meat head like that film made us believe. He is one of the most intelligent enemies Batman has ever faced, and the first one that beat Batman in a fight. He is a brilliant character, Nolan will restore his image.

    Nolan done such an amazing job with his re imagination with the joker that i have every faith that catwoman and bane will be painted with the same brush.

    I know some might argue that Joker was all heath ledger, but the direction was nolan.


    That badum tish photo is one which i said i will use every single time i can around my web travels this year. :)
    More than likely it wont be the last it will be seen here.

    Gary Glitter might be disappointing to learn that Young, Bent and Keane aren't AgbonlaWHORES.

    I'll get my coat too....

    Batt O'Keeffe and Mary Harney have resigned, Cowen's house of cards is falling

    Harney surprised me.
    Shes just worse than cowen in my opinion. First sign of danger and shes gone.

    Does this mean that FF dont have majority now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    They have not resigned the party whip, they have resigned their ministries or intend to not stand int he general election.

    Harneys resignation should have come a long time ago. In fact, she should have been jailed for her stopping of the cervical cancer vaccine for young girls.

    Batt O Keefe is a moron. Got his post simply because he is a buddy of Cowen.

    They will both get nice fat pensions

    Anyone watching Lights Out, the new FX show?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked

    :pac:
