    To all the people that work in the real world.. Imagine you worked for a company in the private sector and imagine being given the huge responsibility for delivering the biggest project, to solve the biggest problem your company has ever faced. (Lets imagine that project was Housing)

    Imagine after 1 year of full time work on it, you didn’t make any progress and in fact you had made the problem even worse then when you took charge of it. Now imagine the reason you haven’t made any progress were because you realised you didn’t have any competence, motivation or experience in solving the problem in the first place.

    Imagine you need to now go into a meeting with your boss and the Board of Management to explain yourself. Now imagine you decide instead of you going in to explain yourself, you decide to send the guy that sits beside you at work and knows absolutely nothing about your project into your boss to tell them that you shouldn’t be judged because your only doing it a year and it’s all part of your 5 year plan. So they should not give any criticism for another 4 years when you will magically come up with a solution.

    Imagine doing that! Crazy talk right?

    Well…. that’s what Damien English just did tonight on Primetime defending Eoghan Murphy and his performance in Housing! lol #Primetime

      Saw that ‘performance’ earlier, it was a masterclass in meaningless twaddle wrapped up in a wet towel and shoved down our throats. Complete doublespeak. And these people are the cream of Irish society? And must be overpaid accordingly to ensure they remain at their posts?

      Unbelievable.

        It seems that Damien English is the go-to man whenever FG need someone -anyone – to spew gibberish nonsense at 100 mph.

          Watched his performance on de telly last night with de Sinn feigned barrel obrim
          I got more sense out of me nipper and he cannot talk yet cause he ain’t born

      And in the meantime, the yearly ‘play within a play’ plays out and has its curtains raised. Confidence and Supply, back by political popular demand.

        …In defence of Damien, he looks and sounds like a FFer…at least you can see he’s talking out of both sides of his mouth…

        1. gerald_g

          He looked more like the village idiot Michael in Ryan daughter
          As for the student accommodation I see the real reason for the thousands of newly built units with gyms hubs and everything in reality is for the foreign students for the years to come
          In reality who will be able to afford to send their kids to the third level establishments in years to come between fees and accommodation

    All quiet on the Brexit front in today’s paper so here’s a juicy fact to engage the tiny cerebrums of the usual suspects on here.
    Britain’s economy equals that of the combined GDP of 19 of the 28 member states of the EU.

        For a guy with no job, he’s up mad early, must be mummys day for dusting the basement. Up now chargy darling, she trills, time for the hose!!

      2. Ron

        triggered! don’t blame Cromwell for our pathetic woes. We as citizens are responsible for allowing it to happen.. he is right in everything he says. We are a pathetic nation

        1. Papi

          Did you just actually say “Triggered”? Oh, you sad little child. Say filth again, you’re so edgy when you say filth like a big boy.

          1. Nigel

            Is it that you an Ollie are so socially isolated and/or inept you regard getting a reply to something as a triumph in itself? ‘I provoked a response’ is scraping the barrel a bit when it comes to human interactions.

        2. SOQ

          Speak for yourself. I love living in Ireland, as does a lot of other people. Nothing pathetic about it.

          Now go self flagellate somewhere else.

          1. Ollie Cromwell

            I love living in Ireland too.
            Friendly folk,nice pubs,decent food,glorious countryside.
            And lots of opportunities to accumulate moolah.
            What more is there to like ?

          2. Ron

            @SOQ. I suppose being such a dim wit has its advantages in that your oblivious to a lot of things. I’m happy your doing so well buddy. keep up the good work. things can only get better for you when your so far down

    1. millie st murderlark

      I know right? A catastrophe. Have they forgotten somehow that Britain is in fact the very centre of the world?

      Frankly, Ollie, I think you’ll need ho have a word with her maj and get her people on it.

      Interesting story coming out of Bloomberg this afternoon.
      ” Germany is ready to accept a less detailed agreement on the U.K.’s future ties with the EU in a bid to get a Brexit deal done, while the U.K. is also willing to settle for a vaguer statement of intent, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be named. ”
      And ” options ” are being explored on the backstop for the Irish border.
      Looks like Merkel is coming under pressure from German industrialists.
      It’s out of Barnier’s hands now.

      1. Ollie Cromwell

        RTE’s Tony Connelly is clueless about it obviously.
        He hasn’t been briefed by his EU handlers yet.

    Marvellous.
    Just enjoying my first cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain of the day and the usual saps are chomping at the bit.

    1. Ron

      Ollie, If we were to just apologise for fopping it all up to the Queen do you think she would take us into the Commonwealth?

        1. Papi

          Ollie-ollie oxentail!!
          But with salmons, for some totally unthought out ridiculous idea, but we’re going to pretend it’s nice.

    2. Nigel

      Ollie said something stupid and got a response, what an achievement. It’s going to be downhill from here for the rest of his day.
