Government Buildings, Dublin 2

Hey, it’s a gig.

      In fairness that Colm lad is a very, very chunky chappie and very much doubt he’d get a tie that long. But yeah, a real bugbear of mine also.

    Just to be clear, when you say “Hey, it’s a gig”

    You mean the proposed budget by Richard Boyd Barret & Co was so ridiculous it renders this an utterly pointless exercise.

    On a related note, I saw people before prosperity’s alternative budget.
    They have become a parody of themselves. They make demands so ridiculous they ensure that there will never get into government. However the TDs know that these sentiments will appeal to their support base.
    It’s the same nonsense the Healy Rae’s employ, but to be fair at least their strokes work some of the time for their constituents.

      still better than the SF/IRA habit of looking down at people thru the sight of a pistol
