    That last guy questioning the statement of means and petrol money sounds like a real charmer :cool:

    Ruth Coppinger was a school teacher.. My god, could you imagine her at the top of a classroom, influencing young minds...

    I'd really rather not imagine that :mad:

    At least Enda KEmmy moved to the Dail early in his teaching career ,so he didn't influence many young minds, unfortunatley he influences plenty of 'little minds ' in his PArty.

    You've got to love Willie Fraiser. He comes out with some classic lines. "We met with Enda Kennedy, I think it was, The Taoiseach down there a couple of years ago"

    And it's 9 years since he organised the last Love Ulster Parade. I suppose it's time he had another one. The bhoys who lead the brave assault on Foot Locker last time must be in dire need of a new set of trainers at this stage.

    That representative of walkers is one arrogant individual - would he be prepared to give "free access" across his back garden?
    His arrogant "I'm right and no one else has rights except me" will get him absolutely zero cooperartion.
    I was born and reared in rural Ireland and I would not dream of marching uninvited across someone else's farmland anymore than I would march uninvited through someone garden or house.

    The demand for the right to walk anywhere would if granted would end up being abused by our supposed native nomads , that and argumentative litigious mouths such as Albert will do nothing towards harmonious progress on walkways
    For once I found myself agreeing with Eddie Downey although he should have had more facts at hand.

    IMO supermarkets should not be allowed sell alcohol in the same premises as bread, milk etc
    Alcohol is a drug and should not be "normalised" as being the same as any other item in the shopping trolly .. to get a packet of Ibuprofen I am subjected to a KGB like interrogation but I can buy unlimited quantities of alcohol with question. Doesn't make sense to me

    So should the remove headache pills, cough medicines, all these types of stuff too, not forgetting coffee ?

    I didn't say alcohol should not be available, just that a bottle of vodka should not be treated as though it were the same as a bottle of milk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    They're not treated the same. Vodka can only be sold within a certain time frame, outside of this time frame access to the vodka is restricted.

    And I can't send my child up to buy a bottle of vodka for me.

    I wouldn't be too sure about that :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    Really, you really think I can send a kid into a supermarket and come out with a bottle of vodka ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,657 ✭✭✭CountyHurler


    "Rory McIlroy would like to wish Horizon the best for the future, and Horizon would like to wish Rory McIlroy the best for the future"..

    Did you ever hear such a mealy mouthed, disingenuous load of rubbish in your life ... outside of politics, I mean..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    I dislike the guy as a person, and just don't get the platitudes he's getting all over the radio, he comes across as dislikeable to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    How is Rory McIlroy's private financial business of interest to the nation and worthy of the blanket coverage it's getting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    This 'couples working together' item just isn't working for SEan , he can't get them to come up with any good arguments and is getting exasperated trying.

    Although I am not very interested in it, I think there are a lot of people who are.

    It's a media inspired interest inflicted on the listener at every opportunity.

    Lottery down yesterday, back today...thinly disguised opportunity for RTE, Irish newsagents t al to whinge at new lotto UK overlords. Who cares???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Callan57


    I think Sean the answer is NO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,160 ✭✭✭Callan57


    Seán going baldheaded for this guy - serious waffler being savaged.
    Wonder was one of Séan's kids victim of an incompetent teacher? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    Politicians shouldn't be ringing up these people on whether they get the drug or not , could these politicians get more parasitic? , they should have NO input into individual medical care.

    "Pat I came on to talk about something else".

    Joan Collins out of her league...

    This morning's show is like a Party Convention for all the Socialists scrambling to express outrage at the arrest of Paul Murphy. All this talk of this being evidence of us living in a police state is comical. Ironically if we lived in the sort of socialist state they want to impose on us Murphy wouldn't have been arrested three months after leading a mob to attack the car of the Deputy Prime Minister. He would have been "disappeared" three hours later.

    and the funny thing is that if they did they get their socialist state an elite at the top would be creaming it off and using their power and influence while the police force are rounding up the middles classes and having their private limited companies nationalised
