Bend over and take it

I’m sorry to go on about this but it’s just staggering.
The Government tonight confirmed a €600m buyout of the West Link toll bridge which will pave the way for barrier-free tolling next year. Transport Minister Martin Cullen said National Toll Roads (NTR) will hand over the operation of the M50 system in 2008 and will be paid €50m every year until 2020.
When it comes down to it I have a grudging admiration for the cunts at NTR. They are taking down the government’s trousers, in public, fucking them right up the arse then pulling out at the last minute and spunking all over its face. And the goverment is just lapping it up like some kind of cum loving skank.
€50m a year until 2020. Unbefuckinglieveable. There’s barrier free tolling from 2008 so the NTR employee count is negligible.
They just have to sit back and rake in the money. Sorry, sit back on their own islands that they bought and built mansions on and filled with slaves and concubines and orphans that they make fight to the death.
What a pack of jammy cunts. I wish I’d thought of a way to get the government to pay me €50m a year after I’d already creamed in millions and millions in the years before.
Do you think they need a new chief executive?

have just discovered a way to make evil amounts of money. get some money from a bank, tell some pikeys that you want a bit of tarmac put down, say in a big semi circle around fermoy, slap a few lads in a portacabin with a gate across the road, and tell the government that its all part of their private public partnership (ppp) scheme. they’ll be more than happy to give you ridiculous amounts of money for ever.
and if you think i;m joking, read the following (from the ntr website, no less)

we’re lucky its only 20 years. from the nra website
“To date a total of 11 schemes in the national roads improvement programme have been identified for development as PPP projects. PPP road schemes will be carried out on the basis of design/build/finance/operate contracts with a long-term concession period (of not less than 30 years). During the contract term, the concessionaire will recoup construction and on-going operation costs through the collection of tolls, along with a public subsidy, where necessary.”
Note the “long-term concession period (of not less than 30 years)” bit.
And finally, if you really want to have a good laugh, you should read the nra brochure, imaginatively titled “going places”:

I’m sure NTFR are happy enough with Jim Barry Twenty, but I hear their subsidiary Greenstar are always looking for people to sort through their waste for PIN numbers and the like.

Been watching too much porn recently?

Up your hole Twenty, if I wanted middle-class whingeing about traffic problems I’d pay for a fucking Irish Times subscription and read that gobshite Waters doing it. You’re going to do a fucking bit about the hardship of paying for Portia’s piano lessons next you horrible cunt.

I’m so glad Janice has fucked off to Ennis. She had a horrible cunt. Sorry, was a horrible cunt!
February 21st, 2007 @ 7:25 am
Bit of a Freudian slip of the tongue there. Oops, another one!
February 21st, 2007 @ 7:53 am
If you think that a horrible cunt is a laughing matter then you’ve never come face to face with one.
February 21st, 2007 @ 8:10 am
Its starting to read like a middle class newspaper. I might as well read the Independent.This is the forth time in a week to moan about the M50. The last time I left a comment mentioning that as soon as the price comes out people will start moaning about how much the Government will pay. And here we are ?
Twenty is seems you need a Holiday. You are spending too much time stuck on the M50. Come on over to the LEb we can hire an armoured can nad be kings of the road. And you could be Guest of Honour at the St Patricks Day ball.
Bring some pork.
February 21st, 2007 @ 8:47 am
If you need a holiday why not head down Mountshannon way? We’ll make you feel welcome. As McDara says though, bring some pork. Oops, another Freudian slip.

Shove it up your cunt. You’re getting it for free here.
MacDara – can we drive tanks?

What’s the alternative if they don’t buy them out? Continued tolls on the road? Guess you’ll be paying either way.
February 21st, 2007 @ 10:01 am
Twenty, What exactly is the story with the formatting on your Blog ? Ever since your ‘transition’, viewing your blog reminds me of my old toy kaleidoscope. The old ways are the best ……….
February 21st, 2007 @ 10:09 am
Kaleidoscope? How so?

JC – no such thing as too much porn.
Oral…I mean Orla – You’re making an awful lot of Freudian slits there….I mean slips of course.

Yes, for many years I’ve looked with envy at NTR’s cash rich profit figures. In the time it takes to write a sentence they’ve taken in a few hundred euro more. If someone with half a wit of wisdom in the government at the time had borrowed to build the damn bridge for the State it would have been free now and flowing for years. A few years of tolls in the early years would have more than paid it off.

Twenty, I have a great idea for a Government-related money spinning scheme. First we buy a couple of cheap fields in the arse end of nowhere, Roscommon or Offaly or Blanchardstown for instance. We fill one of the fields with piles of manure and then get subsidized by the Department of Agriculture to transfer the dung into the second field using spades, wheelbarrows and Polish labourers. Then when the second field is full, we start dumping it back into the first field again. Etcetera, etcetera, ad infinitum.
With the money we make, we can buy more fields, more shite and hire more eastern Europeans. When the operation gets big enough the government will naturally want to buy it off us because they like to be seen creating employment in rural areas and it would also show their detractors that they ARE actually fit to shovel shit from one place to another. Then with the swag, you and me buy the next island along from the NTR boys and spend the rest of our days drinking Bushmills and getting lapdances from Ségolène Royal.
Fuck the American Dream, we Irish can dream as well.

Brilliant idea. If only there was a ready supply of Polish labour.
February 21st, 2007 @ 11:06 am
Twenty we can drive this one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/macdara_in_the_leb/262057256/
Orla If you come I am sure some one will give you a ride in their tank. They might even let you play with their Turret.

You da man!
February 21st, 2007 @ 12:05 pm
Twenty, yer man Carlisle is right – your main home page is fine, but when you click to comment, the frames go all over the place and your left sidebar covers the middle of the page, making things unreadable.
This is in IE – it’s fine in Firefox. Still, 85% of people use IE…
February 21st, 2007 @ 12:07 pm
Can you send me a screenshot, Kav?
February 21st, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
And IE 6 or IE 7? Or both?
February 21st, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
MacD – sweet.
February 21st, 2007 @ 1:25 pm
Twenty, looks like this in IE6.
I’ll have a look on IE7 when I get home later.
February 21st, 2007 @ 1:58 pm
Yes but only after you go into comments. Before you enter comments it looks ok.
February 21st, 2007 @ 3:16 pm
looks fine in ie7
February 21st, 2007 @ 3:39 pm
It is, and always be, the governments job to fuck folk. What makes you think that they should change? Even if all the cunty rat bastards were replaced in the next election and everyone elected was a Holy Joe, within a day or two they would be just like the fuckers they replaced. So just grease up yer arse and let life fuck you less painfully.
February 21st, 2007 @ 4:53 pm
Looks fine in IE6 and IE7
Assuming you have updated your versions.
February 22nd, 2007 @ 7:21 am
For what it’s worth Twenty, you’re grand on Opera. Though this theme of white and dark-white you’re running with still looks like the lights have been turned on in the pub.
