I'll leave it up to tonys so.

Delete away if that's what ye do here. No vitriolic bollox intended, just a fairly literal translation of the other comment in plainer language.

I've read tonys's posts with interest here over the last while and he seems fairly sound and measured and I'm sure we'll get on fine.

No harm intended.

Nop I think you miis the image, think phallic warrior not phallus

Thanks unaligned.

He's been to the same hair stylist as Enda.

A Kruschev-style denunciation of what went before not on the cards, I sense...

He's doing well so far.

The Banks, ah, the ultimate scapegoat. They act as a giant toxic skip for all the blame. It'll kid some people I suppose...

Again - it is a "short term crisis".

Nobody else thinks so.

Big cheer for the Fraud Squad. How come they never investigated Drumcondra?

God damn those bankers and regulators. Don't FF just hate them?

"Those who can afford most should pay most"

This is the kind of thing he has said back to last July, and then he goes and kicks children and old and sick people.

A fund to support export industry. A bit late for Waterford Glass, now in the hands of the asset strippers.

He's not stuffing it up. It's not particularly inspiring, but it isn't bad (for its purpose). It's just a speech. I do wish he'd get a dig in at Ahern after all the digs Ahern has got in at him. Won't hold my breath...

Poor souls are all dying of the heat.

"We should all pull together"

I know the local authorities well, and its my impression that we're looking at a County Council level politician here.

You know what you have to do...

In what sense?

'Personal responsibility' - it would be funny if it wasn't so hypocritically vomit-making...

I don't get any feeling that he knows what is going on. He is still talking about a short term crisis.

Are you joking?

Those people behind Davin-Power on RTE News, they scared the sh1te out of me. They wouldn't stop... STARING... What was that about? It was like the Father Ted 'Lovely Girls' audience, but scary and silent....

Like this ?

Yeah, that was funny alright. A fair few mouthbreathers on display! I'm sure I saw Fr Jack at the back looking over peoples shoulders. Feck! Arse! Girls!

Yeah, kind of, but with worse teeth and one eyebrow...

I will leave it to someone else to say "lacklustre" and "heave".
