    Did Paddy O'Gorman just say hostables?

    Paddy O'Gorman sounds like he's at the end of his tether with some of these people

    Ecominists have proven that they cant predict ecomonies.. why would they think that they can predict world cups?

    Get 33 economists in a room. Have 32 pick one of the 32 finalists out of a hat and develop a model to predict why that team will win. Have the 33rd predict something disasterous will happen and the tournament will be abandoned with no winner.

    One of them gets it right. All hail the result as a triumph for Economic theory and modeling.

    I think we would have been better off getting Paul The Octopus to predict the markets.

    Must be a hell of a lot of women around the country equally concerned about their children & their husbands health who didn't have a fairy godfather to "transfer" a couple of million to them :rolleyes:

    Tuned in to RTE for the first time in a while at this time of the day. To be greeted by the dulcet tones of Mary Hanafin pontificating about the the current government's mistakes. Has she forgotten about the train wreck of an adminstration that she participated in??? I bloody haven't, that's for sure.

    the green party should never be left near public office again after their disastrous stint. Stop bigging these clowns up.

    I wouldn't really blame her, I'd blame the electorate who voted her back in.

    Hanafin has selective amnesia all of a sudden.

    Bet she doesn't forget to collect her pension though

    Irish people haven't yet made the connection between the mark they put on the ballot paper and who ends up running the country. They vote for any old Del-boy/girl or cute hoor and then wonder why the inevitable happens......a sh1te government made up of Del-boys and cute hoors.:confused:

    Terrible story about the estate in Sligo. Families being terrorized in their own homes by anti-social elements. Some houses seem to have had the water tanks, pipes etc stolen out of them WHILE people were living in them. People coming knocking on doors demanding things from the residents. All the residents and the councilor who were interviewed put the blame firmly on some settled travelers who moved into the estate. Then Michael Collins from Pavee Point comes on admits he doesn't know about the estate but then puts the blame on the council, the guards, schools, the government etc etc etc for failing to meet the needs of travellers. Basically its everyone's fault bar the travellers.

    Huffpo - the Journalistic equivalent of Jobsbridge...or it was at the time she sold it and made millions on the backs of regular contributors who got nothing.

    I swear I can't understand why our jails are not filled with priests, brothers and nuns. It used to be said that Ireland didn't have any serial killers because all the psychopaths just joined one of the Republican or Loyalist terror groups. I think a fair few became Nuns. Mass graves of babies. BABIES for Christ sake!!!

    Yer one says have a banana before you go to bed.

    That's a one-way ticket to Indigestionville.

    Even more baffling why Fianna fail leader Bertie ahern paid the majority of the compensation they owed out of state coffers!

    I'm sorry but that is not even close to what these Nuns did. I'm no fan of Bertie and what he did to the country but these Nuns basically allowed (by action or inaction) hundreds of babies to die and then threw them into mass graves. That is evil. Pure and simple evil and something must be done to hunt these women and their orders down and bring them to justice no matter what their age now or what good they claimed to be doing.
