    I've had enough of her now. Very dogmatic and self-promoting (presumably that's the whole point!)

    She certainly not the woman I know, and I'm fairly sure couldn't be related either.

    Anyone catch her name?

    Ann O'Leary - she's "dogmatic and self-promoting" no doubt if she were a man she would be "assertive and confident". :rolleyes:
    As it happens to me she came across as Vodafone promoting rather than self-promoting

    Nope, I wouldn't admire that in a man either :rolleyes:

    And yes, it was more Vodafone-plugging by the end of it than anything else.

    Fair play to her, I don't mean to sound like I'm knocking her, she's got a lot further in the workplace than I ever will :D. And trying to bring others with her. Fair dues.

    In other news, I've just switched from Vodafone to Eircom as the former just jacked their prices up by 10%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭Bits_n_Bobs


    In other other news I too swtiched back to Eircom from Vodafone after 6 months of hell via inept billing and utterly woeful service...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 106 ✭✭vertmann


    I've not been with Vodafone for years because their mobile plans are pure robbery.

    Who is this clown? Isn't it amazing how quickly he has arrived at a "list of qualifications" as necessary for a woman to get involved in politics with absolutely no criteria whatsoever for a man?

    GP on now who has had to emigrate to Doha because they couldn't afford to live in Ireland on just his GP salary and his wife's salary as a Consultant Pediatrician. Jasus it must be extremely difficult scraping by on that combined salary. I can only imagine the hardship they endured......

    Feck's sake - and a car crash involving Jerry Beades going on on NT at the same time.

    Why do they run these programmes against each other :mad:

    Why didn't they just ignore him & continue with their meeting ... having to sit (or stand) through hours of repetitious waffling would have softened his cough. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭Bits_n_Bobs


    Yup - switched over from PK, heard this gombeen and switched back to the Dowwkey cor crosh


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


    Jerry Beades is fast replacing Fr Dougal as the biggest idiot in a country of idiots :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,127 ✭✭✭✭neris


    that graham dwyer trial is becoming more disturbing everyday. its nearly getting to the point where the journalists reporting it can say very little

    Who would want to be a teenager these days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,038 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Things must have changed big time since I was a teenager,girls wanted to have sex as much as boys from what i can remember, according to this lad the boys are doing all the chasing,harassing girls to have sex


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    im having flashbacks to the 80s when the same hystericial partonising nonsense was being peddled.

    its not fecking porn when your girl sends ya a pic of her tits FFS.

    Really is amazing that the same socitey types EVERY generation seem to think no one likes sex, and if they DO like it they must preform it the way THEY think is appropriate.

    bet these lads dont even realise how stupid they sound.


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


    What exactly is the point this lady is trying to make? She is sounding very defensive


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


    OMG Mary Lou sounds like a Catholic bishop ... obfuscate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus

    She was desperately trying not to make any point.

    Yeah, she gets rather shrill when she is attacking others and then dances around the point when someone questions her.

    Seems to be the standard SF tactic. They aren't big on answering questions.

    what about 'real' investigative journalism-nobody is doing it-P.Kenny is now Establishment who displays rage when CEOS are questioned about salaries(Kerins & Flannery) or sending his 'roving reporter' on the hunt for 'white trash' to show how ghastly they are-let's have a programme with intelligent analysis about important items and not one which is peppered with inane vacuous magazine drivel-leave that to the mainstream programmes.

    Could you perhaps tell us what one or two of these 'important items' might be?
