They could get a job

Ye in McDonalds. Ageism is rife.

What’s wrong with working in McDonald’s?
Charlie
It’s a kip, sells rotten grub and wouldn’t consider employing a 65 year old in a month of Sunday’s. Apart from that the toilets are usually clean.

It’s preferable to a call centre! I’ve heard of Maccy D workers in Wexford getting jobs in nearby Eistec and returning to McDonald’s due to it being a better, fairer working environment.
Rob_G
Indeed, I think I would prefer that to working in a call centre, too (which I have done previously).
I wouldn’t look down on any job that earns an honest day’s pay, and I don’t consider any job as being beneath someone’s dignity, as giggidy and Charlie seem to.
Charlie
You’ve totally missed my point Rob. Nice one.

Where did I say that Rob?

Charlie is spot on.

Congratulations to Eoin Morgan who now becomes a Commander of the British Empire in the New Year’s Honours List.
Led England to World Cup success this summer.
And just signed a contract worth £563,000 to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
Not bad for six weeks work.
Ireland’s most successful sportsperson of recent times ( if you discount the gurning lowlife Conor McGregor ).
You forgot ex Hurler and sound Club man
And a true son of the Irish Bog
Shane Lowry
Who, Like so many of us
Admittedly not you Charage’
A Paddy who ian’t a bit afraid of who he is or where he’s from
Shane is there, along with @borderIrish on my Person of the Year 2019 shortlist
And I have no hesitation in hosting my favourite toast to the lad The Best is yet to come

Shane Ross’ goose will be cooked hopefully i. the next few months.

The hysteria in the FAI about Ross’s joke is hilarious. The FAI needs 60M to continue. They clearly don’t deserve it. If most of us were in danger of losing our jobs due to mismanagement in the private sector we would not have the option of a bailout and if we did we could take a few jokes.
So worth it AFAIC – they’d have it repaid within 24 months – 36 at the most
But I think they are worth an 100 mill investment – 60 mill to shore up and steady the house, and use the balance to invest in a new 2030 strategy

Can’t give them any money while anyone from Delaney era is still employed there so everyone needs to be replaced. They stood by while it was run into the ground ,their jobs have to go.
Ah yeah
I wasn’t saying transfer the lot over into the suspense account
Put it into administration for a – say three year period
While it builds a new Board and Governance framework
Appoint a new CEO and let them work with the Staff and develop a new manpower chart etc
Have the Dept of an Taoiseach guaranteerantee 80 ish million
And maintain the training and education grants
That should get them there

Is that you John D? How is an organisation that built up 60M in debt going to repay 100m in a year?
Sell some high end tickets.
Let the organisation go into receivership. Set up a new one in a few years. Funded by fans.

I need to go offline for a few days – family visit, who delightfully live in a place still offline. So, in case I am not back in time, I just want to wish you all a happy new year!
The last one was good, hope the next one is better!
That’s yesterday’s Financial Times lads.
Thanks, Paddy, fixed now. Sorry.
Ryan must be on the Buckfast.

Whopee! Good on you Eoin – well deserved!
Did you say sport? LOL.
You will find Shane Lowry has signed contracts in the tens of millions in recent months
Interesting. What contracts would they be?
Sponsorships and events I imagine but then etc…..
