The political debate about health is getting, well, interesting. Yesterday you had Harris claiming that the SF 'alternate' budget allocated less money to Health than the actual budget to howls of derision from SF. Today you had the SF document disappearing from the SF website, before appearing agai...

No matter how old my Da gets he's always a natural in the car. He'll whinge and moan, and ask for sweets to be delivered to him, but he'll drive like a superstar.

He always said pull the plug if he bought a Toyota Carrola.

:lol: Glad you enjoyed that. Was thinking of you after I posted it. I think Fergus Aherne testified against a fellow consultant. Former Leinster sh was Gus. Before my time. Although I'm not sure when my time was. Probably catching ROG and the lot in their Euro travails through the 2000s on RTÉ.

They believe in a united socialist union of people from across the world.

Except for the foreigners who should fudge off back home!

My wife is dieing in front of my eyes. She has smoked for almost 50 years now and just cannot give up. She doesn't try any more and won't even let her doctor discuss it. She refuses any tests to see what damage it has caused, she knows it has but thinks knowing the details will just cause more stre...

Is this a doctor consult or a "PWC" consultant? It could apply to both. Medical consultants have legal responsibility in the end. If you can convince one of their colleagues to torperdo their career and testify against them. :lol: Glad you enjoyed that. Was thinking of you after I posted it.

It's good to know you're a consultant Great to see actionable points there and constructive suggestions.

I've seen it argued that the HSE staff levels only got back to what they "should" be years after massive cuts during austerity. That's obviously a very subjective definition of "should".

Can't the economy just shrink or grow accordingly? If it shrinks so be it, life goes on. Regarding the ageing population, are you suggesting every country has to grow it's population year on year indefinitely just so they can cope with people getting older? The problem is population collapse not de...

Personally I don't have a problem with public sector employees not being rewarded for time spent out of the country. Why do you deserve more for time you didn't spend here? Absolutely.

I was writing a blog for a while. Local musicians performing at a small but busy pub that was doing good business but wasn't packed.

I thought big corps like Nike have marketing people to agree designs, based on public perceptions.

Surprisingly (to me anyway) most UK cities score highly on this site https://www.cityaccessmap.com/ which uses google to assess the percentage of urban population within 15 minutes of 7 types of public services.

He's a bit decent busker level I guess, but people like him so there ya go. David Gray was very popular in Ireland and he's of a similar bent. David Gray wrote great pop.

Yeah saying a politician is liked by the ‘yummy mummys’ and implying that would affect their voting patterns isn’t misogynistic at all.

I think either Varadkar is a visionary or the blazers gave him the heave-ho. General election? New Budget coming up? Previous generous budgets and a strong economy?

At least we'll get fewer Welsh claiming this was a "poor Six Nations." Because it's the truth, and they'd melt if they spoke the truth. For them it was pretty fucken awful Six Nations.
