UP Wikipedia page was deleted due to no notability - and that's with Wikipedia effectively dying due to lack of maintenance.

After his whole hearted congrats to the ‘british’ ladies soccer team and the congradulations to Shane Lowry he is obviously looking to give Shane Ross a run for his money

He’s equally clueless about sport, that’s for sure.

There's a lot of hidden symbolism in that template.

The butterfly on the golf ball about to be smashed into oblivion is a reference to "breaking a butterfly on a wheel", which is how Jeff sees the state every time they suggest he might get out of the shed and get a job.

There's planes spreading chemtrails and of course hot air balloons are a classic Rudd trope, a nod to his faithful followers. The seagulls are to show that Jeff has his finger on the pulse regarding local terrorism threats.

I think you're right.
The clay symbolises the earth, from where we came and where we shall return.
This is important as it shows how the workshy bluffer would rather die than be made do a days work!

Guess someone has to show the kids what a job is and bring in some money. It's also got to be easier way to get extra cash in then having another kiddo.

Well if that's true how can he look at himself in the mirror and not see an abject failure staring back at him?

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Detailed post.
.
Long before I even became a father of three daughters, I held the view that although the female of the human species possessed similar and different characteristics at times, they should always be seen as equals - and treated as such. My view has not changed. When it comes to politics, same ideology still applies.
.
Sadly however, there is far less female involvement in politics than there should be. What follows is research carried out by myself into just some of the reasons why this is happening.
.
The Irish political arena can be all too easy judged a highly masculine realm. Only 91+ women have been elected since the foundation of the State. Ireland currently has one of the worst gender balances in the democratic world.
.
Some of the reasons why this is so, is as follows:
.
• Women are likely to continue to be reluctant to put themselves forward as candidates or consider a political direction due to a continuing “Boys Club” behaviour, visible clique appearance and mental outlook exposed through words and attitude.
.
• Despite some being very qualified, they still consider themselves as not qualified enough! Male counter-parts however jump in at even lower educational levels.
.
• In parental guidance, males are more likely to be assured a political path is a viable option rather than females. This applies to formal school guidance also given.
.
• Many see their ability to bear children as a further hindrance to enter the field of politics. Concerns over their own child’s welfare and time away from them is a greater worry for woman today than a male it appears.
.
• Many females have witnessed others of their sex rising only on rare occasion, not on a regular basis. This imbalance alone further has a mental detrimental effect on the willingness of others to then go forward. A number are greater reluctant through perceived lesser chance of possible opportunity to get ahead.
.
• A conceptualisation of women as just child-bearers and homemakers first and foremost was rammed home to many Irish generations by agencies of the State and further more by the Roman Catholic Church operating in Ireland. For a woman in these dark 50’s/60’s era’s to come forward and try going forward in a male dominated society, was very much looked down upon. This attitude still lingers amid older and out of date thinking generations.
.
• Timing is a greater critical factor to a chance of higher female participation. According to the 2010 Women and Men in Ireland report (CSO, 2011), they represent approximately three-quarters of those who worked up to 29 hours per week in paid employment in 2010. Many women balance work and family life by taking up part-time employment. This is felt greater restricts many when trying also to balance family life and all it entails.
.
• Funding problems more appear to occur more often. As also there is a balance towards greater males in some areas where top management or owners sit, females fear that their ability to garnish financial support or create their own is greater hampered. Through own lack of resources and possibly non-willingness of others to back a greater female participation, they are even before trying to move forward, a mental hurdle that to some, is also as persuasive factor not to eventual participate.
.
• Ireland not just in politics, had been too long dominated by complete male organisations. For example, be it the GAA or other Irish sporting societies that was the focal point for local communities every week or month, selections there were all male orientated. Changes have started in these areas and I am glad to see them. This previous sex dominance chosen amid rural and urban communities would lead to them in turn gaining far greater prominence and thus other society roles where females were not active participants due to previous lack of participation and high profile.
.
• Today even at political party headquarters, secondary roles such a filing clerks and secretarial roles are thought to be more likely filled by female workers while top positions are likely to be male filled. A visual indicator lingering on of an out of date past attitude? As long as the dominance of one sexual persuasion over the other continues in imbalanced numbers, females are less likely there alone, not emerge from a thinking atmosphere of who really always ‘rises to the top’, …why and not try gain prominent place for themselves, for their country and its people also. This too is a great pity. I firmly believe that females equally have just as much to give, if not in some cases, far more at times, given their unique female perspectives also - ones that men can only try to fully grasp - myself included.
.
Of course all these reasons and others that might be found if one looks, should be very transparent but the truth – and we know it maybe more so – is that they are not. There has been attempts to highlight these matters time and time again. Each time after an initial period of sudden created activity by others to show they are trying to address such matters (when exposed they previously haven’t been), society and its departments again fall back to old ways and systems where unaccountability safeguards don’t exist and/or not be practiced.
.
Presently government transparency in action throughout many departments remains the rarest of processes actually happening. You, the reader, will have to make up your mind if this is because certain people within state departments and/or elected representatives in charge, wish to keep a status quo for a self-known reason (that we might only try guessing at), for reasons due to the scale of the problem and hurdles in the way or just through sheer unwillingness to address this issue.
.
As a citizen of Ireland looking to make many things better for our next generations, including my own, overall we need to be doing far better in many areas and issues. This is just one of them.

whippet · 23-07-2019 1:10pm

I’d say she got a pain her hole watching him in the shed all day while she had to look after the kids .. all for a life of budgeting with social welfare payments !

It wasn’t long ago he was banging the drum of how the state was trying to force women in to the workplace ... no need for the state to do it .. his choice of lifestyle forces his wife out to work unsociable hours

Pelvis Parsley · 23-07-2019 8:14pm

If the unfortunate and downcast Mrs. Rudd has indeed been forced back into work-he should hang his head in shame.

Cathrine Maher. She was part of the big heave a few years ago.

Here's a joke that Jeff popped up on the business page of a company he's assisting with his C+G thingy...

"
STILL STANDING.
.
As a group of soldiers stood in formation at an Army Base, the Drill Sergeant said, "All right! All you idiots fall out." As the rest of the squad wandered away, one soldier remained at attention. The Drill Instructor walked over until he was eye to eye with him, and then raised a single eyebrow. The soldier smiled and said, "Sure was a lot of 'em, huh, sir?" "

I can't for the life of me find the joke in it, anyone?

Reminds me of the joke:

Worker: Why what happened at 8?

Joking aside , you'd think someone would pull him aside and say stop posting sh1te...its embarassing.

I suspect that that article borders on entrapment for jeff.

If he replies to it straight away he will be put onto penalty rates as he is not concentrating on C&G.

I thought this thread was slowing because of the move away from the cafe.

But I think Jeff might just be reaching new levels of irrelevance.

Had a glance at his page earlier, he'd posted the front pages ... nothing new there...at 4am ffs.

He must have his hands full with the six kids while the missus is out earning some sort of living ... even social media has to take a back seat when six kids need to be entertained during the summer.

I wonder will he be volunteering his time for the Fleadh in a couple of weeks. One of the biggest advertisements for his home town globally and it can use all the help it can get.

A budding local politician should be all over this

Given how dedicated he is to avoiding any work that he might get paid for, it doesn't look good for the chances of him doing unpaid work volunteering

Another classic, "interface the face".

"It is not a case of I told you so (although I long have), it's a case of the obvious staring some, including myself, interface the face for a long time. Its an issue to be more seriously tackled but one that others won't. Why? In major part because they don't have a goddamn clue about issue or how to further address it."

Followed by this gem, without a hint of irony or self-awareness. :pac:

"A few might try bluffing their way out of their lack of knowledge - but most of us can recognise when someone is bluffing or simply doesn't know their stuff by their facial expression or floundering words exiting from them."

Jeff is mad about Boris .. a bit of a fan boy!! Mind you he edited his post when he got a bit of criticism from his follower ... you know Jeff must change his option to suit his followers.

Apparently Jeff also thinks that he was the only one to spot that Boris was going to get in and that a hard brexit was a real prospect.

TheAnalyst_ · 29-07-2019 10:14pm

This story caught my eye for the sheer amount of money that someone on welfare cost the state albeit fraudently. 224K over 7 years.
https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2019/0726/1065446-social-welfare/

Now just imagine thats over ten years and add in a much larger family unit. Think of all those extra costs that are hidden like course fees, welfare staffing services, medical services, schooling. Just a massive, massive drain on the state with nothing coming in from his side to offset it. How can you piss and moan about fat cat salaries and quangos when you're the biggest per capita expense out there.

The biggest event to hit Drogheda in many years is about to kick off again, showcasing the town and it's people ...... our man in shedland ought go be taking the opportunity to boost his public profile and get stuck into some community based work.

Jeff doesn’t volunteer .. he’s too busy .. running a mega corporation with no customers and these 30 min slide shows take days / weeks to put together.

Plus .. volunteering would involve helping others .. he’s not really in to that sort of stuff

I’m somewhat intrigued by Jeff’s latest ‘business’ client .. his buddy Mr Fagan of seetec fame. He is setting up a ‘VR gaming’ location and is using Go Fund Me for working capital.

With Jeff’s immense PR, Marketing and IT skilz .. he has racked up an impressive €200 of an €80,000 target.

I’m failing to see the investment plan for anyone who donates ? Do they just give money to Mr Fagan to set up the business as a charity or is there any notion of a return on investment ?

Seems if you are used to living on hand outs and taking legal action against a state who would like you to even pretend you are looking for work .. the very idea of setting up a business based on hand outs from randomers isn’t that far fetched

He's been on a crusade to expose the waste of public money by the government complete with pie charts over the weekend.

Neck on him to be talking about wasting public money. He's more that happy to use his public services card every week.

Roughly €100,000 on job seekers alone over 10 years, then factor in other possible payments and entitlements, various activation schemes and springboard courses.
