    Every kid learning sign language would be the biggest waste of resources ever.

    They could use Joe's wages to do it. He can go off and write more bukes. He'll be looking for a cameo in the film version of his recent one.

    Handy yoke here, you just type in the word you want and it signs it, you can choose lots of sign languages...

    that happend to me ma.

    im 42 and while no one tried to kick the crap out of me one of my teachers back in primary kept trying to get me to use my right hand instead of my left so the sentiment was present up to very recently, if not still out there in some form.

    That attitude was still there, in my primary days. Luckily, the forcing had gone, and many left-hookers I knew were able to do things their own way, which was much better for them. Unfortunately, most/all of the equipment then and now was set for right-handers, but such is life.

    Ah; that's what they mean by a well-rounded performance.

    Where's this going? Started off as a problem with a HSE appointment.. now moving towards a campaign to set up ISL as an official language of the state. For this read resources, money, jobs and state agencies... Like the campaign for traveler's distinct ethnicity, think this may remain in the realms of dreamland.

    Hadn't realised Dan had posted too, basically a deaf community that shun solutions that may aid them hear

    They can be very militant

    Google them , it's the sort of thing that makes ISIS look sane

    No satellite dish story today, boo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,730 ✭✭✭TheHomeService


    Seeing as our hero is so concerned by this story, I assume he is instructing his team to create new jingles for his soapbox.

    Sign To Joe .....

    Getting his ducks in a row for tomorrow. I'd imagine the victors will be too inebriated (and perhaps let out an uninhibited coarseness of expression) to appear on the Flagship Station today.
    Heavens, one of them may even have had a drunken go-at or slobber over Joe, as Mano de Peepul.

    It's a disgrace dish lady ever got the €1500 fine but its an even bigger disgrace that after she's fined that because of the public outcry it then gets struck out. If they are relying on public opinion they should just put the courts system on an X Factor style public vote to decide who gets fined and who doesn't.


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


    Public opinion, text poll eh we already have the court of public opinion presided by over the right dishonourable justice joseph duffy b.s.r.r (who probably earns more then a real high court judge)

    Hachette, eh?
    What an astounding co-incidence, as Joe likes the odd hatchet job from time to time.

    I'm enraged by the way RTÉ have given him so much free airtime on his show and on TV to promote this book that lines only his own personal pockets, it's a bloody disgrace, like something that would have been acceptable in the 80's when people here were thick. If it was for charity I would be fully behind it but it's not.

    Assisted ably in its promotion by Brendan O'Carroll, who films his "Irish comedy" in Scotland with his UK registered company, including his spin off film, another UK company.
