Fine Gael transport whatever Simon Coveney removes a pretendy clamp to highlight the blight of illegal clampers.
Under a Fine Gael-led government you won’t get clamped as often.
Fuck yeah.
It’s like Paris in ’68.

Bearded, Guinness-sipping, American tourist writes about Ireland. Should I care?
He teaches at Princeton. People listen to him. He has a Nobel Prize for Economics.
Kissinger has a Nobel prize for Peace.
He predicted the world-wide recession back in December 2006.
David McDreamy saw it coming back in the 80s.
In June, Krugman asked – vis a vis Ireland’s savage cuts and Spain’s lack of same – does austerity really impress the markets. His answer then was no.
So he’s changed his mind? Not very noble. Hur.
If by change you mean he’s more convinced than ever that our self flagellation was pointless then yes.
Oh.
He’s compared the 10-year bond yield (don’t ask) of both countries. Guess what? Spain – the biggest messer in the class – is tearing us – the hard-working, arse-puckering toady – a new one.
Meaning?
Austerity be damned
Does he have graphs to prove this? Not pretendy ones from that website?
Yes.
Is there a devastating quote from the article that will silence me and end this conversation?
“…since austerians were claiming bond market approval as a sign of its policy success, it is worth pointing out that dutiful Ireland looks as if it’s entering a runaway debt spiral, while malingering Spain is looking considerably better.”
And she’s probably unwell but..
Our favourites:
In Tescos now. I’ve put some frozen sausages in with the cereals. They’ll probably go off. I draw no pleasure from this.
Lovely coffee at Brenda’s, but as soon as she left the room I couldn’t help tipping it down the back of her telly. Regretting it already.
‘OSCAR-winning singer Glen Hansard is paying for grief counselling sessions for hundreds of fans who watched a man jump to his death at a recent concert.’
You got to hand it to him.
The do-gooding, ginger fuck.
Kidding. We kid the Glenn.
That’s our job
And you thought MEPs just sat around on their first class arses. Some like Sean Kelly (FG), he’s the dude in the middle, like to write letters to The Irish Independent and, you know, state the FUCKING OBVIOUS.
“HISTORICALLY and in modern times, Ireland has been renowned for being the island of saints and scholars. We do not want a situation to occur where inaction and prolonged unemployment will lead to Ireland being known as the island of unemployed scholars.
Ireland should be a place where new graduates can contribute to knowledge-based sectors and help mould Ireland into a more sustainable, competitive and attractive country in which to do business.”

Employment. Good. Unemployment. Bad. Need shave.
Ever wonder: What the fuck does ‘passive-aggressive’ actually mean?
Suggestion: download Pat Kenny’s interview with John Gormley, which has just finished on the wireless.
You will possibly agree with a lot of what Gormley says.
But you will dislike him so much that you will quickly take an opposite position.
And start SHOUTING at his voice.
As Nat, who is on fire at the moment, so wisely put it: “He literally tore himself a new one.”
‘It wasn’t having oral sex with an employee in front of a female journalist that now threatens to undo Dov Charney, founder of American Apparel. Nor was it simulating oral sex with another female member of staff whom he had ordered to pretend to masturbate in front of him. The 41-year-old’s professional and personal reputation isn’t even on the line because at least three female employees have filed sexual harassment lawsuits against him (all the cases were settled before reaching trial); nor because he walks through his factory in his underpants and conducts meetings wearing just a thong – or a sock. The sock is not, one should add, worn on his foot.’
