I’m fed up of all the bad news now. I’ve had it. Bring back the good times because then bad news was interesting. You could pick and choose from a couple of stories, have a good old fashioned rant and then go off and spend some of your SSIA on shit you didn’t really need but just wanted.
Now it’s all bad. I don’t know where to start. Take this morning’s newspapers and last night’s radio programmes:
- €230,000 being spent to relay a lawn at Leinster House when we don’t have a pot to piss in
- The Greens about to propose a ‘carbon tax’ as they discuss the plan for government. As if we don’t have enough fucking taxes already. And Gormley and De Burka trying desperately to do PR for the party but making things worse because everybody sees the Greens as the irrelevance they’ve become.
- The Irish Cancer Society, a charity, offering the government money to help roll out a bowel cancer screening programme. A charity giving money to the government, fuck me.
- The Dublin Diocese clerical abuse study will be presented to Justice Minister Dermot Ahern today. Yet more evidence of the abuse perpetrated on children by the Church and most likely covered up to a great extent by the state.
- An AIB boss says the public are responsible for the economic collapse although he does rather graciously admit some mistakes were made by the banking sector. Mind boggling.
- A man who committed murder on an innocent 17 year old Swiss girl while out on bail for the vicious rape of another young foreign student.
It goes on and on and on. Day after day after day. If this carries on we’re going be more depressed than people from Iceland. And when you’re as depressed as people from Iceland for a prolonged period you produce things like Bjork.
The world does not need more Bjorks, I think we can all agree on that.
On the Bright side,the Madrid/Shamrock Rovers match was hilarious..
Didn’t see it. However, I read no reports of Ronaldo’s ruptured cruciate ligaments/spine so I am disappointed.
dave let you down big time. let us all down.
There was one fairly robust tackle,the whole pub cheered as Ronaldo’s feet were kicked from under him..
And it’s pissing rain.
yeah but it’s nice soft rain
When’a a hard rain gonna fall Peadar?
Wait, good news! Eamon Ryan says thousands of high-end, sustainable, technology jobs will be created over the next decade.
So, 200 a year, maybe?
Unfortunately coming from Eamon Ryan it’s about as believable as Hitler saying the ovens were for a rotisserie chicken franchise.
Eamon Ryan always looks like he’s about to cry.
I hope that’s because someone is always punching him in the testicles.
Things are really bad over here…

I once saw ER (pre-ministerial) on the LUAS with several of his young offspring. The offspring proceeded to wander about, exploring the carriage and its occupants as if it were a Maria Montessori educational exercise. Some of the travelling public didn’t appreciate their guinea pig status, since it involved close involuntary inspection by the junior Ryans.

Haha, that is insane.
Conan, they were probably just looking for some real food, instead of the grain they get at home.
What amazed me was the sense of entitlement they displayed at such a young age. No boundaries whatsoever.
Guinness, 12 tins for a tenner, and they have sold out.
Now that is what I call bad news :(
Conan – they’re our future, those who will guide us through the environmental storm that lies ahead.
That is bad, SoS. Have you thought about trying another shop?
Gone are the good oul days when you could march on the powerstructure and string half of them up when they are clearly trying to fuck the civilians of the country up the arse with absolutely no repercussions to worry about.
Indeed Twenty, but the thieving bastards could rob me blind for a whole pound a can.
Em. I like Bjork lots. I’d like more Bjorks produced please.
Apparently our economic success is all about environmental sustainability. Nobody ever gets into the specifics of what that means. And is it not the same for every other country in the world too?
Why do you need Bjork? You already have Sinead…
where does Bjork drink?
Bjorky Bars

Nope. Earth Intruders; as is her wont. It’s a Human Behaviour thing*
*right; that’s enough of that or there’ll be An Army of Me coming around the corner when it should be Oh So Quiet.
pluh
Good news.
There’s going to be jobs a plenty in the green tech sector, oh yes.

Ryan will have plenty of time to cry when he loses his seat, the vile cunt.
That RyanAir cunt was on TV earlier.
That C Case rapist was jailed for 21 years for raping an elderly woman but what the Fuck was he doing out in the first place and why not a life sentence ?
No Obituary for McCourt Twenty ? Jury still out ?
Not interested in McCourt
I like Bjork.
It would be like having sex with a mentally disturbed person, but without the prior wrist restraints and guilt that comes after.
Hmmmm… Bjork and wrist restraints…. Uh-hu …. ball gag … def

Well, what are we waiting for?
Re. the bad new. I wonder if it’s partly PR strategy to wear the voters down and make them all meekly vote for the Lisbon sell-out?
