It was only €2000 wrong though, in the Ambassadors eyes anyway, seemingly.
Maybe Nigel, Daisy & Co. will fill us in on how serious it was, and why the Ambassador shouldn’t be recalled and relieved of his current post. Surely he’s a Nazi, a conspiraloon, a Swastika waver, who endangered the lives of others. Coveney too? Woo Hoo

Not as pathetic as your showing yesterday.
Obviously still feeling the burn.

Funny you obsess about the time of posts here. How about obsessing about yours – it must be an excellent employer that allows you to come into work and start posting your rubbish at 09:11 hrs, or at various ‘during work’ hours throughout the day. Unless, of course, you’re a little biddy Walter Mitty person with nothing to do during the day.
So – tell us Doxxy. Are your state-employed colleagues Anit-vaxxers, conspiraloons, Nazis, Swastika-flyers or the other multitude of terms you have hidden up your drawers?

Multitasking. I’m very good at it.

I’m more interested in your opinion of them, seen as you’re spewing out labels good-oh about people here.
So – tell us Doxxy. Will you be referring to your state-employed colleagues as Anit-vaxxers, conspiraloons, Nazis, Swastika-flyers or the other multitude of terms you have hidden up your drawers?
Plus, I didn’t doxx you. In fact, judging by the frequency and times of your posts, you didn’t even doxx yourself. You’re no more a Dept. Agricultural employee than I am. A liar in other words.

Go back to polishing your antivaxx jackboots, Goo. Your attempts at investigating are overwhelming you.

TenPin Terry
The number of sick patients waiting on trolleys for a bed in Irish hospitals this month was 132% higher than in January 2021.
INMO’s monthly Trolley Watch reports widespread and chronic overcrowding in hospitals with some experiencing levels never seen before.
These are deteriorating third-world health conditions right under the noses of Ireland’s media and they give the politicians a free pass to concentrate on cake.
Their cheeks should be flushed with embarrassment when they remove them from the backside of Simon Coveney who, according to the Examiner, has just had a very good week.
You couldn’t make it up – except they did.
I never knew the minister for foreign affairs was in charge of the hospitals but there you have it.
Trolley waits in UK hospitals hit record highs in December but I’m sure that was just another big win for Boris.
TenPin Terry
Do you think Ireland’s health service will get better by comparing it with the UK’s ?
Or do you think Irish politicians should be properly held to account for the shameful scenes in every hospital in Ireland tonight ?
Because it won’t and they won’t.
That’s why they get away with it year in year out because bovinely-stupid people like you let them by mooing ” Boris ” while you chew the cud.

Try blaming the correct Minister, brainiac.

I worked with a guy who told me he was one of the guards on that day. At a certain point (he maintained) the guards had a chat among themselves, and decided they’d done enough. He knocked on the door and said something along the lines of ‘you’ve got an hour’. Not certain he enjoyed it as such, but he always told the story with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.

ANO
John Ryan and Niall Murphy, according to Wikipedia –
In June 2010 Ryan and writer Niall Murphy launched Broadsheet.ie[7] as a “news source for the bewildered,” combining news, satire, music, art, and missing dogs/cats/bikes.
In all fairness to the lads – if it was the bewildered they were after, I reckon they’ve cornered the market.. fair dues
Mad
100%
Still room to expand as well
E'Matty
They’ve done a magnificent job, being the sole media outlet (maybe Gript too) to not have fallen into the mindless government propaganda line. The others all took funding from the State to push the government line and abandoned any journalistic principles of integrity and honesty. Broadsheet were have been sole beacon of democratic freedom and the pursuit of truth. Of course, this will be mocked and sneered at by the mindless low IQ herd types like yourselves. Good man Bodger.
Mudzer
100% correct. a welcome refuge from the relentless propaganda
ANO
You’d never catch the fine folks at Broadsheet mocking or sneering at those they disagree with.
TenPin Terry
The abuse towards anyone who questions the conventional narrative in Ireland is desperate to behold.
It’s the outcome of a nation that has adopted subservience and a herd mentality as their national characteristics.
Broadsheet should be applauded not derided on here for its vaccine stance even though I disagree with it.
Likewise Gript which gives a voice to those whom the media and their chums in government wish to silence.
Ireland has no meaningful political Opposition and the lack of any independent and questioning fourth estate allows third-rate politicians in government to flourish.
Blighty has an army of hacks tearing shreds out of a government even though it has delivered the fastest vaccine and end to COVID restrictions in Europe.
Ireland has Claire Byrne …
The Millie Obnoxious™
I do think you make some interesting (and valid) points, but you really do whinge about Ireland an awful lot.

TenPin Terry
Millie – I whinge a lot about Ireland because I have no need to be patriotic.
But I pay my taxes here – quite a lot of them – and I expect value for money and accountability from those to whom I entrust my hard-earned moolah.
Has anything changed that much since Bertie told those who were giving out to go and kill themselves ?
Janet, dreams of an alternate universe
only yesterday he was telling me how much he loved the place…well at least the pubs

Time for them to combine forces, ”GriptSheet” perhaps?
ANO
To be fair, while it can feel like BS has never met a conspiracy theory that it didn’t fall for it’s far more socially liberal than Gript.

over and under the line
although that Alan Rickman tribute remains my favourite column – well favourite one to write anyway
and of course, I stand over every word I posted here as my own
but never,
never
thought Broadsheet would eventually morph into Gript – ok Gript with better headers
and hair.
Or even resemble it enough to be measured and compared to it
And by Gript I mean anything at all that ties McGuirk, Ganley, Ascough, the Burtke Klan, Scallon, Gilroy and that Iona Quimm together.
For a while there I considered the hosting and platforming of the usual frontline Alt Right Intolerables and QAnonspirisists,
to the hard right like National Party Ultras, and Anti Corruptionists,
plus all the other cosplaying faux speechers and playtriots as a form of public service
In fairness, it was good to know what they were all at from the one host
and I got the Limerick of the day and papers while i was here
It was never about what was above the line
Broadsheet for me was the comment sections, below the line is where the action was
And since that is now occupied with the thick the delusional, the doxxers and multiple login owners holding the majority
none of them remotely capable of being funny but given too much space to post stuff Broadsheet know are untruths
well then I suppose
Anything at all could happen
Here’s something ye should treat yourselves to
when older columns get linked under new posts, like there under the Related Posts sub
See if there’s anything pre Summer 2018, go in and see all the genuine original Broadsheet commenteers
and compare with what is in front of ye today
BTW ye might discover some interesting data there with the avatars. Who they’re posting as today n’ stuff like that.
But go back, and read some proper original Broadsheet commenters.
If you’re lucky you might even pick up some of SOQs gay porno links

By socially liberal I presume you mean John McGuirk’s views on abortion ?
Gript and Broadsheet have much more in common than that, mainly a willingness to air unpopular views.
Plurarility of thought is essential to a properly functioning democracy.
TenPin Terry
V – to be fair you spotted the critical importance of cake to the national debate years before anyone else :)
Mrs TenPin ambushed me with a homemade tea brack last week and it took all my powers of cunning and distraction to ensure our dog Self-Control got it instead of me.
It was dreadful.

That’d be a good example, yes, TenPin.
I think you could chart a drift in the editorial direction of this site from maybe starting with their full throated support for Gemma O’Doherty’s presidential run (before she went full crazy, tbf) to where they are now, which is…well it keeps me amused but I’d still agree with you that the more voices out there, the better.

GiggidyGoo
Terrible to have to say this, but I’ve tested the system today and late yesterday to see would words like piss get through. It’s a word used regularly by Mad (of the 100 usernames). A bit of moderation wouldn’t go astray, especially on comments like the reference to necrophilia directed to a posters parent yesterday which was bang out of order.
So if it continues down this road, it’ll be a free-for-all.
Janet, dreams of an alternate universe
I had thought that the moderation was more lax lately and while I used to get annoyed at the whipsy woos and lady gardens I now appreciate how the helped raise the tone,
it feels like you are driving slow past an accident when it’s vulgar.
I’m doing a no reply to the usual winder uppers, would you consider it yourself ?
GiggidyGoo
That actually sounds like a Fr. D..k Byrne question to Fr. Ted. :-)
But yes, it’s a good idea, though I do like putting some of them back in their box.

IMO there is some people who just take pleasure in hurting others- even online. Smearing and sneering is part of their characters it appears, but also censorship of those they disagree with.
In a way, the Spotify Rogan thing really sums it up. A bunch of once free spirts who have now turned gamekeepers. It is no coincidence that this controversy arose after he interviewed Robert Malone and Peter McCullough- two people who are highlighting the corruption and criminality of what has happened.
Janet, dreams of an alternate universe
you are probably right, some people are just born nasty and it’s how they get their kicks,
if you ignore them the jibes get more desperate, reaching and pathetic to try real you in again so it shows it really is the best way to handle them imo.
Great news. The UK abandoning the fascist mandate for health professionals.

Reminds me of that old Conservative Party joke. Boris – can you make a U-turn? No- but I can make her eyes water.
TenPin Terry
Don’t worry lads we’ve got your backs.
While Ireland relies on a langerload of Cork fisherman for their military intelligence the boys in the Royal Air Force have real planes in the sky monitoring the Russian fleet on exercises.
Operating in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone the RAF P-8 Poseidon aircraft, as well as conducting surveillance exercises and dropping sonar buoys, are capable of deploying torpedoes and other anti-ship weapons.
Ireland is only capable of deploying Seamen Staines as Coveney is refererred to by the Russians when they’re not laughing their heads off.
I see you’ve got your phone back Charger. You are the entertainments world loss. Why have an audience of a couple of hundred on here when you could have millions. Time to spread your wings grasshopper. Reach for the stars.

It’s a jungle out there …
Several performers and crew members of The Lion King musical have been subjected to racial abuse on their way home from a show in Dublin.
The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, where the show has been staged since late December, condemned the “vile” incident and said that it has been reported to gardaí.
Wow, british(england’s, london singapore-on-thames westminister corrupt tory scum elite) politics has really gone passed the excrement floating in and around the toilet paradigm to… straight down the sewer…and somewhere beyond?…
– Broadsheet.. Is it not time enough to evolve a little and start a daily page/topic dedicated to real journalism instead of all this british agenda-propaganda trash…??? smh.?.
Meanwhile, another once seriously regarded and important institution known as journalism is being propped up while on it’s last dying breath, mostly by random comedians..
As shown by this example and also in previous musings on this and various other subjects,,,

It’s not a conspiracy that different interests share the same objectives.. and this extends beyond even the US treasury or media outlets intending to ‘shape’ market awareness. Where it comes to the so called dip… the term is used to encourage a belief in something which is by no means guaranteed. It’s only a dip if when you look back to the relevant period you witness also a subsequent rise. If enough investors buy the so called dip then this rise will likely occur but it still only perpetuates a broken model and largely supplements the relative losses of prior investors, ensuring the exact systemic dangers which precipitate down onto the rest of us..

yes it’s reached peak argy bargy
Terrible to have to say this, but I’ve tested the system today and late yesterday to see would words like piss get through. It’s a word used regularly by Mad (of the 100 usernames). A bit of moderation wouldn’t go astray, especially on comments like the reference to necrophilia directed to a posters parent yesterday which was bang out of order.
So if it continues down this road, it’ll be a free-for-all.
I had thought that the moderation was more lax lately and while I used to get annoyed at the whipsy woos and lady gardens I now appreciate how the helped raise the tone,
it feels like you are driving slow past an accident when it’s vulgar.
I’m doing a no reply to the usual winder uppers, would you consider it yourself ?
That actually sounds like a Fr. D..k Byrne question to Fr. Ted. :-)
But yes, it’s a good idea, though I do like putting some of them back in their box.
:)
IMO there is some people who just take pleasure in hurting others- even online. Smearing and sneering is part of their characters it appears, but also censorship of those they disagree with.
In a way, the Spotify Rogan thing really sums it up. A bunch of once free spirts who have now turned gamekeepers. It is no coincidence that this controversy arose after he interviewed Robert Malone and Peter McCullough- two people who are highlighting the corruption and criminality of what has happened.
you are probably right, some people are just born nasty and it’s how they get their kicks,
if you ignore them the jibes get more desperate, reaching and pathetic to try real you in again so it shows it really is the best way to handle them imo.

Great news. The UK abandoning the fascist mandate for health professionals.
Reminds me of that old Conservative Party joke. Boris – can you make a U-turn? No- but I can make her eyes water.
Don’t worry lads we’ve got your backs.
While Ireland relies on a langerload of Cork fisherman for their military intelligence the boys in the Royal Air Force have real planes in the sky monitoring the Russian fleet on exercises.
Operating in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone the RAF P-8 Poseidon aircraft, as well as conducting surveillance exercises and dropping sonar buoys, are capable of deploying torpedoes and other anti-ship weapons.
Ireland is only capable of deploying Seamen Staines as Coveney is refererred to by the Russians when they’re not laughing their heads off.

Several performers and crew members of The Lion King musical have been subjected to racial abuse on their way home from a show in Dublin.
The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, where the show has been staged since late December, condemned the “vile” incident and said that it has been reported to gardaí.

Wow, british(england’s, london singapore-on-thames westminister corrupt tory scum elite) politics has really gone passed the excrement floating in and around the toilet paradigm to… straight down the sewer…and somewhere beyond?…
– Broadsheet.. Is it not time enough to evolve a little and start a daily page/topic dedicated to real journalism instead of all this british agenda-propaganda trash…??? smh.?.
Meanwhile, another once seriously regarded and important institution known as journalism is being propped up while on it’s last dying breath, mostly by random comedians..
As shown by this example and also in previous musings on this and various other subjects,,,

Ahh.. must of offended you with comments on anything bad about “british” and your beloved corrupt, racist, sexist, classist, elitist “tory-scum party”.TM.1830 Inc.
Move on elsewhere with your amateur trolling…
+Your casual racism, sexism, mysogyny and generally self inflated, ego-centric and selfish narrow-minded ignorant world view.
You’re not worth wasting any kind of remotely serious thought on..
Two-bit tosser would be more apt… (Ok, one thought…)
haha.. thanks for the laughs though( – At you.. Always laughing at you, often out-loud followed by.. e.g. “No surprises, as per usual this absolute eejit has outdone himself once again.. Yaaaawn etc.)
Much appreciated, at least by my limited sense of conscience being and existance within the universe.

Enough said.

“Enough said” hahaha….oh mercy…
Editing mistakes?.-Not surprised..hehe

Isn’t that your problem though, it’s never enough said or.. and not to promote any kind of censorship, isn’t it that when there’s nothing going on in your head worth saying especially if it’s mean or offensive you’ll most definitely say it anyway?…
Pathetic, Sad… Pitiful, etc.. Just miserable.
Also laughable, always laughing at you and your comments…
Haha.. One-Bit self pleasurer

The last act of government is to raid the treasury.
Tredeau got a roasting in the Houses of Parliaments yesterday apparently, including a round of applause- against him. Can’t find that online of course.
Also rumours that the city of Owatta are going to make some legal claim on the GoFundMe money but again, early days.

Thanks I seen that one- all the clichés were trotted out by the government mouthpieces.

You really are just a troll.
And what are you- apart from one of many usernames?
Cretin.
I’ve only ever used this username.
Antis always think everyone has multiple usernames because that’s what they do themselves.
Yeah right.
Good comeback
Murphy Brown is looking well and kicking butt… ;-)
It’s not a conspiracy that different interests share the same objectives.. and this extends beyond even the US treasury or media outlets intending to ‘shape’ market awareness. Where it comes to the so called dip… the term is used to encourage a belief in something which is by no means guaranteed. It’s only a dip if when you look back to the relevant period you witness also a subsequent rise. If enough investors buy the so called dip then this rise will likely occur but it still only perpetuates a broken model and largely supplements the relative losses of prior investors, ensuring the exact systemic dangers which precipitate down onto the rest of us..
