My Big Fat FAS Budget

 
I was wondering how long it would take for the rampant abuse of Government funds by FAS to hit the news. In a way, I’m surprised it did at all because of the number of Fianna Fail party faithful who were involved. They’ve been at it since at least 2001. They spent far too much [...]

But she DIDN’T flush the baby down the toilet.

Saw this article in the Irish ‘Independent’ just now and thought my God, how horrific….

Horrific it was yes but she didn’t actually flush her baby down the toilet. Of course this rag of a ‘newspaper’ draws you in with a misleading headline so people imagine a scenario before they actually read it (if they do [...]

Gorillas in our Midst

I was in Grogan’s last night having a few pints with a friend of mine and we were talking about the Cadbury’s Gorilla ad and what did it have to do with chocolate. I was arguing that they should never have made a second ad with another song because it completely dilutes the impact of [...]

I want to replace George Lee with this guy…

 
If there’s anyone who can deliver bad news and still make you feel warm and happy then it’s got to be Gerry Fleming.

Respectable Rugby Player Shot Dead instead of Knacker

A innocent middle class Rugby Player was shot dead yesterday in a terrible accident which should have seen a track suited working class guilty knacker gunned down instead.

Republic of Loose – Do they know we know?

http://www.republicofloose.com/vol4-theritual.php
 
Listen to this song and tell me if you know where you’ve heard the piano bit before? It’s a complete and utter lift off an old and popular hit. I just can’t think of it but any muso will know it straight off.
Is it a very cheap rip off or is it actually a homage???
