‘sup?

Jeremy Masding, CEO of PTSB Permanent TSB (with Chairman Alan Cook, pic 3 above) at a press conference yesterday in relation to mortgage overcharging that saw some people lose their homes.

But how did he remain so serious and controlled.

And not even crack a smile?

PTSB

Ah.

    to be fair, if you’re going to present in front of a small number or people, never mind a huge number, it’s fairly common and even advised to jot down a few key things to remember, including how to present yourself.

    what he has written may seem obvious and lead you to wonder the need for jotting down those particular words but if you have presented, or even done a best man speech, you will know

      Yup, this says as much about how shallow our media and pols (Mary-Lou was sharing this) are as it does this guy himself.

      If he was snapped giggling at any stage during the conference, it would be a PR disaster

      22 homes lost and he has to remind himself not to smile…..really? I mean I do get the whole jotting down notes thing but this is all shades of wrong

    Didn’t Gerry Adams have something similar not too long ago? Press conference is Buswells if I remember.

      Okay, you’ve busted me.

      I do Spin-Doctoring on the side, on the cheap. Very cheap.
      My clients include Mick Wallace, Enda Kenny and Phil Hogan.
      (And this eejit too, I forget his name.)

      I used to work solely for Bertie, but that dried up.

    Great Scott! So the tricks of the puppet master’s pantomime have been revealed. Things will be different from now on. Yes, in so far as they will remain exactly. To the banking enquiry!

      Are you the lion from The Wizard Of Oz?

      I hope so, because I have some advice.
      -You might have gotten Courage from The Wizard, but I think you should’ve asked him for a Sense of Humour first. Also, talk to Scarecrow and Tinman. They aren’t like they used to be..

      Forget Dorothy.
      She’s still the same as always. A bitch.

          A full-stop at the end of your sentence might have made you seem sincere.
          It’s not too much to ask for.

          You’re nothing to me, you hear me…NOTHING
