Today’s the day.
LISBON II – The Revotening.
There can be only one … answer, and we’ll keep making you vote till you get it right.
Yes to Europe, nice roads and healthy EU funding and open market and sexy French girls.
No to a treaty which is impentrable and confusing and hard to understand.
Yes to not doing what Coir, the Shinners or Ganley want.
No to doing what Cowen and his scabby bunch of cunt sticks want.
Yesers are cunts.
Noers are cunts.
Polling closes at 10pm.
I am feeling thetic, today. Apa and just plain old Pa. Have already voted on this.
Fuck it.
The new FIFA 2010 is out today. I might just buy that and stay home.

hah, i was thinking the same thing.
I don’t really know exactly what’s in the treaty and it would take effort to get my voting card from my old address.
Fuck it, i’ll play some Xbox instead and then go to the pub.

You don’t need a voting card to vote: just some form of identification (driving licence, work ID card, etc).
Go out and vote.
Some of us aren’t allowed to vote because we aren’t in the fucking country, so it’s the least you can do.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 10:21 am
Just put my yes vote in the ballot box. Sinn Fein, Ganley, Higgins and Coir can fuck right off.

Guess the yessers will be looking forward to Tony Blair as EU president :)

This is something about hosting next year’s Eurovision in Lisbon, right?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 10:27 am
Lung, yes. According to the Lisbon treaty, not only do we not have to enter it anymore, but those who wish to enter each year will be deported.

Oh and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is out today. Time for me to start killing some non-Americans in the interest of democracy.

Not voting or even worse voting no guarantees a Papal visit. Can you live with that thought ?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 10:49 am
Voting no will make divorce illegal.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 10:50 am
Can’t vote, not a citizen. Can, however, propose that someone take McVeigh-style action.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:00 am
If you think this was tortuous as a political campaign, wait until Biffo tries to ‘re-market’ the soldiers of density for the next election! We’ll be totally confused as they try to persuade us that we wanted FF to fuck the economy and we’re happy being wage slaves/ unemployed for the next decade…it’ll become that confusing. Alternatively people may be sensible enough to consign FF to oblivion like the PDs!
Today, I’m actually voting NO. This is not because I support any of the wackjobs nor am I ‘against’ the EU per se, but I’m just angry, appalled and annoyed at being asked to vote twice on the same topic. It is just insulting to the electorate who said NO already.
I am totally pissed that the EU – which I generally support – can produce a treaty that is gobbledegook English (as happens when you plug Latvian, German, Polish, French, etc. into a universal translator machine at the same time)… if they cannot write a Treaty that is produced in simple English, then how can the EU claim the Community will run more effectively? Bad treaty.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:02 am
If you vote yes then the spotty bastards in McDonalds will be obliged to ask you if you want gherkins on your burger. VOTE YES!
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:06 am
Sean… we’re voting again because 40% of those who voted no last year admitted that they only voted no because they didn’t know what the treaty was about. That and the fact that many others were voting on issues that had absolutely nothing to do with the treaty whatsoever. Maybe if the Irish public wasn’t as thick-skulled as they’ve made themselves out to be and had actually bothered their holes to read up on the treaty in the first place, we wouldn’t have to vote again.

October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:28 am
oh and im throwing in a yes vote later…
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:33 am
The Lisbong Treaty, it keeps bouncing back ’til we give the ‘right’ answer.
Hellbrain, I wasn’t one of the ‘surveyed’ and I know plenty other rational ‘No’ voters who weren’t ‘surveyed’. So they just ignored the 60% of us who sensibly voted ‘No’. It was a classic political distraction ploy – deal noisily with the silly arguments and ignore the serious ones.

Why then is it going to be carried by a significant majority this time? Are the people who ‘sensibly voted no’ sensibly changing their mind?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:44 am
Hellbrain, you’re a month ahead of yourself. MWII isn’t out until 10th November.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:45 am
Peadar, voters have had the ‘fear’ put on them. Lots of talk about the dire need for economic recovery but zero debate about the ‘Excessive Deficit’ measures in the treaty.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:55 am
Hellbrain, what % of the people who voted yes last time , knew why they voted yes ?
Just curious .
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:56 am
. . . FEAR . . .
. . . That is all . . .
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:06 pm
Interesting view of democracy in action – one vote only allowed .
Plus side – Mary Lou in the wilderness forever
Down Side – FF government for all eternity.
Who can take the democratic process seriously in a country that keeps returning FF governments ?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:09 pm
I’m afraid of nothing.
except me girlfriend & me ma.
and your ma
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:11 pm
You…have..a..g-girlfriend..?? *sits down for a moment*
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:14 pm
So will you again someday, eventually. maybe
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:22 pm
already sorted Peadar thanks…

Robert Mugabe?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:30 pm
peadar has a girlfriend ? Is that in a Renate sort of way ? I’m confused. No offence peadar, I thought you were of the other persuasion.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:30 pm
already sorted Peadar thanks…
that was quick, congrats.
Is she dirty?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:32 pm
She would have to be peadar. Otherwise why would he bother ?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:34 pm
I always assumed you were a rapist Peadar. No offense.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:37 pm
I voted ‘Yes’ the last time for two reasons.
Firstly I think we have done OK out of Europe, and secondly I knew they would just run it again if it didnt pass and we’d have an extra month of complete cuntology on every media for another month. (call me Fergus Gibson)
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:39 pm
That would be an ecumenical matter Peadar..
Morgor:Heh..
Maggot:heh-heh..
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:42 pm
I always assumed you were a rapist Peadar. No offense.
but she said if I let her live she’d be my girlfriend
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:51 pm
but she said if I let her live she’d be my girlfriend
But you just couldn’t control yourself,could you Peadar???
Like John Dough in the movie Seven..Playing house with Gwyneth Paltrow,but it just didnt work out…
October 2nd, 2009 @ 12:58 pm
No it’s working out just fine.
She complains a bit about being tied up but she’s getting used to it
October 2nd, 2009 @ 1:09 pm
No it’s working out just fine.
At least someone has a happy stable relationship.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 1:09 pm
Forget the shinners, pacifists, God nutjobs, stepford wives, bald nazis, uk irredentists, stalinist trade-unionists and utopian socialists. Do the right thing…and if you use it for a protest vote, you are a bigger cunt than all the rest of them put together.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 1:14 pm
You are correct AM, you don’t need the voting card, consider yourself as having added +1 to the yes vote.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 1:51 pm
Do married couples only get one vote ? I ask because the online IT has a (disturbing) picture of Mr and Mrs Cowen casting “their” vote.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 1:53 pm
Is she kin peadar ?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:09 pm
I’m not sure, she sounds a bit like a nordie. Are any of your family missing?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:11 pm
The Nordies love a good rapin’ i hear..

already sorted Peadar thanks…
has she got any sisters?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:15 pm
Ah V, there you are, still using the crazy bedfellows argument.
You’re quite right of course, we should accept the assurances of a government that has led us brilliantly for more than a decade. Or better still, all those disinterested captains of industry. Or the disinterested academics and lawyers.
At all costs ignore the reasonable voice that asks, “Cui bono?”
October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:17 pm
No but she’s got a little brother,(R)apey called dibs on him already..
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:03 pm
You know well enough I’m as annoyed by FF and O’Leary as much as you are with Ganley and Coir. I do accept the assurances because I see the benefits and believe that the only opportunity presented by defeat would be to the enemies of the left in Europe. I’m not ready to give up on it yet, but I can understand why some are.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
…and leave “Bono’ out of it, he’s been good and not said anything this whole time.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:38 pm
:)
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:39 pm
Hey V , do you find the document conflicted
( I’ve scanned it only, like Brian Cowen did ).
Seriously though, there are some sections which I thought yeah, and then others, no. But he girl at the voting booth wants one answer.
Think this is bizarre and lazy and un- democratic, that Brussels should have broken this treaty up. There is a better way.
And asking a nation who can’t agree what day it is to vote yes/no on a 300 page document….
I wouldn’t be concerned about my concerns though, the yeah yeah yeahs will will with a land-slide.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:44 pm
finally, those smug bastards on the posters will stop annoying me on my ride home from work.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:51 pm
Fuck up the lot of yous and vote yes!
October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:52 pm
As regards the posters, whose bight idea was it for the FG Aldidl yellow/black posters? They use the same lay-out, colour and font as the shop pricing signage.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 4:31 pm
If there’s one Youtube video you watch today, make it this one. Nearly pissed my pants.

A herd of Llamas that caused havoc on the M50 yesterday have gone missing from the pound where they were being kept.
I don’t think Yes or No will make much difference to a place with so many idiots.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:36 pm
Someone tell which way will keep the Turks out of Europe and I’ll vote that way.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:46 pm
Turks are good people Twenty. It’s the Greeks you want to watch!
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:46 pm
I don’t know which way that would be but if we could stop thick irish women from riding/screwing the greasy cunts it’d be a start. I fucking hate turks
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:47 pm
If you look at how many agendas it is trying to accomodate, then it’s a miracle it’s not more conflicted than it is. You hit the nail on the head though, referendums are rubbish.
Interesting to see that Eirigi the ‘socialist’ republican no group, are using their variation on the old tory slogan ‘Britain’s not working’ on their posters. Lazy cunts.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:49 pm
that should have said ‘riding/marrying’
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:49 pm
Peadar:Ah the Turk lads only go after the 40+ Irish wans…
How old is your Missus? Did something happen when you were away on holiday?
October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:58 pm
Turkish Food and music is great – try this by Baris Manco – “Nick The Chopper”

October 2nd, 2009 @ 6:02 pm
A couple of years older than me – mid thirties.
So I’m safe for another few years then.
Most of my friends love holidaying in turkey, they say the people are so nice and friendly.
But i don’t buy it, they’re false slimy fucks who just after your money
October 2nd, 2009 @ 6:09 pm
peadar – why would you want to keep her once she hits 40 ? Think about it man!
October 2nd, 2009 @ 6:16 pm
But she’ll probably go to the cops if I don’t.
Jaysus maybe a turk could do me a favour. But the fucker will want a passport in return

hehehe 69 hehe
I going home to drink gallons of wine
October 2nd, 2009 @ 8:31 pm
Fucking Hell – that Cunt Keegan won millions.
October 2nd, 2009 @ 11:59 pm
When I think of the state of the Irish political system, I am left with the following thoughts..
FF – Tried and tested to be completely useless Cunts, but we still continue to vote them in!
FG – Are things really that bad that we need to seriously consider them as a govt party.. still Cunts though
Labour – Bunch of wackos (ref mid ’80′s Govts), though have a good leader who can be a proper Cunt
Shinners – Bunch of Cunts with an identity crisis trying to convince us to vote no, when they can’t figure out what they stand for! Mary-Lou should just disappear never to be found again. Though I still would if I got a sneaky chance, the thing about mopeds and fat chicks, great to ride but you don’t want any of your mates seeing you on one..
Socialists – Bunch of fruit loop Cunts, full of school teachers and hush puppy wearing Cunts
COIR – What can I say about these cock dodging, inter-bred Cunts that would make them seem human…
October 3rd, 2009 @ 1:51 am
Though I still would if I got a sneaky chance,
One of many I suspect. With young Toireasa as a back up ?
October 3rd, 2009 @ 10:13 am
Not Toireasa, her old man Martin is a proven proper Cunt. There’s no escaping if he catches you, it’s straight up the aisle with a shot gun behind you.
October 3rd, 2009 @ 10:27 am
How about Bairbre then Damien ?
October 3rd, 2009 @ 10:34 am
Never gave her much thought, my attentions have been drawn Mary-Lou due to the amount of tripe that she talks. Somewhere along the way whilst listening to her on the news one day, I switched to mute and somehow she seemed much more appealing. Still a Cunt though!
October 3rd, 2009 @ 10:49 am
Any more set-backs and she’ll be side-lined – they thought they had a winner when she jumped the FF ship – wholesome middle class girl, not a whiff of cordite and popping out babies for the Rosary Bead Republican faction.
October 3rd, 2009 @ 11:15 am
Looks as if the Yes vote is Stirling.
October 3rd, 2009 @ 11:39 am
Any more set-backs and she’ll be side-lined – they thought they had a winner when she jumped the FF ship – wholesome middle class girl, not a whiff of cordite and popping out babies for the Rosary Bead Republican faction. haha, i guess we shouldn’t start a discussion again on whether she’s tasty or not. we’ve been there before. On a seperate note i just took a dump that should have been sealed in concrete and buried in China. Who ever thought that en-suite’s were a good idea?
October 3rd, 2009 @ 11:51 am
Heh – I just had a celebratory dump myself Morgor.
Twenty never got back to us on whether or not his normal evacuatory schedule had resumed.
October 3rd, 2009 @ 12:08 pm
Likewise myself, I’ve given mine a nick-name, it’s Sharon or Sharen. So good girl Sharen, and thanks be to jaysus for extractor fans.
