Bring back the death penalty....!

For the kpmg girl?

Reg'stoy · 04-01-2013 10:24PM

So what if a few people got off some penalty points because they knew a friendly Guard, we'd all; given the chance do the exact same. Most of those giving out don't see anything wrong with adding a few extra chips or nuggets to their friends lunch while working.

Dude... She's like 16...

StinkyMunkey · 04-01-2013 10:53PM

Well im guessing she was of the legal age considering she was a little tipsy, and in what looked like a fast food place. Then again who knows, this is Ireland after all. Guess id just have to ID her first.

Yes, here nobody drinks or enters fast food places before they're 18.

I thought it was the certain days that it was being flown

Yeah this is why they're annoyed because it's not being flown 365 days of the year. It's not even their flag, if anything they should fly the Northern Ireland flag seeing as it's Great Britain & NI. Also the cheek of them thinking they can come down to Dublin to stage a protest, no chance it'll be peaceful, guarantee you all hell will break loose!

KPMG girl was obviously very drunk and young. Hopefully this event will stand to her. She needs shift her pseudo elitist attitude, a KPMG partner my ass! That's being comfortable not wealthy. I hope Dad funds her college or whatever and she gets on ok.

To be honest that post is elitest.

Ahh John, come on now!

Carrie was a freelance journalist who spent the ten years of the show writing about her lack of understanding of the opposite sex, and when she wasn't trying to latch on to gay men, she spent ten years chasing a man she called "Big", who showed little interest in her, only when it suited him?

Based on that premise alone I'd say she was more than just a bit dim, and as for the others, while professionally they may have been portrayed as capable, their personal lives were completely unrealistic, especially the swinging sexpot character that was Samantha!

For someone who hated it so much you sure did watch it a lot

Perhaps I'm showing a little bitterness at the fact my wife religiously watched this show for the ten years or so it was on, then the constant re-runs on comedy central, and just when you thought the nightmare was over, they squeeze the last out of the franchise by bringing out not one, but TWO god awful films, and are now in talks about a THIRD one!!

My wife watched it, I just happened to be in the room at the same time!

Apparently the early seasons were quite good, however it supposedly "jumped the shark" later on, and was more noted for who was wearing what than wit.

That's pretty much it, the same as happened with Desperate Housewives- It lost it's way and was already going downhill in the third, fourth series. Then after the the writers strike when they shoved the storyline forward five years, that just killed it altogether. I'd say it's high ratings were maintained by viewer loyalty more than anything, because it certainly wasn't for the awful convoluted storylines!

This might be an unpopular opinion but i think Jimmy Magee is a poor commentator.I know everybody loves him as he's been to 10 olympics or whatever it is and yes thats impressive but hes just not a good boxing commentator or any sport he does.At the London olympics he was driving me mad as the score wasnt on the tv screens it only flashed up at the end of every round on the screen in the arena and the crowd would cheer yet Jimmy would still take an age to say what the actual score was.Also the 2 boxers would exchange a good few blows yet Jimmy would just mention one good punch,usually by the Irish competitor.Was'nt it the Bernard Dunne fight where Dunne got knocked out and Jimmy was silent for what seemed like a minute or 2,didnt say a word when he should have been at his most vocal.Incidently according to Wiki its Jimmy Magee,not Mcgee as i see in a few places.

Neeson · 05-01-2013 02:47PM

Never seen it spelt as McGee.

Despite the recent tragic events, this type of fundraising is only there so some people can have free holidays paid for by everyone else.

From what I know, there is still a lot of expense for the climbers. Not sure scaling a mountain is a holiday either (in the "respite" sense of the word).

steddyeddy · 06-01-2013 05:54PM

Sending students of for these help the third world holidays annoyed me whenever I seen them at college. The students picked were often over privileged kids who had not done a days work in their lives. They just saw it as a holiday.

I think travelers are bad people by nature. Its in there genes to steal and be a general nuisance. I'm in 6th year at the moment, in my whole 6 years any traveler who has came to my school has left after there Junior Cert and were just complete trouble the whole time they were there. I've never met a decent one.

I worked in a barbers last year which was in a area full of travelers and I saw it on a daily basis. They would come in, a group of say 5, one would come up talking to me asking prices or something another would be talking to the bloke cutting hair and the others would be mooching about looking for things to rob. The bloke who owned this barber shop was considering opening a second shop in a gym near a well known halting site and was discouraged by the owner of the gym because of the trouble he himself was having with them. These are just a few of my own experiences and I'm sure i'll get the usual "there's bad people everywhere regardless", there is bad people in all ethnic groups but not to the extent of the travelers. There reputation isn't unfair its completely justified.

Not bad. We recently learned about how characteristics like being able to spot a nice reel of copper wire can be passed from generation to generation.
