    I am giving serious consideration to a revolution of sorts, the type where high ranking government personnel are chased from their quarters by an angry unruly mob brandishing pitch forks, flaming torches and shaking their fists vigerously.


    What direction do you envisage that the revolution should take?

    Who should the revolution target?

    Do you have any special skills, paraphernalia, etc. to aid the revolution?







    Once we have Government control, who would make make good ministers?


    I think Ruu would make a good Minister for Finance.

    He may not have a financial background, but ruumour has it he got a B1
    in Business for his junior cert, and he has got a great eye for a bargain.

    Will you join teh revolution? 72 votes

    As long as they can brandish a pitch fork or a flaming torch they are in, or if they are unable to do this, provide
    some of paraphernalia or moral support.

    It is not my revolution.

    [political nonsense]

    It is a revolution by the people, for the people and of the people.


    You are either with us or against us.


    We will smoke them out.

    Hey the idiots we're overthrowing can't either (and they certainly can't add)...about the only thing they are good at is telling lies.

    Seriously OP, I was in work listening to radio news most of the day, slowly fuming at the stuff I was hearing; Harney in denial, HSE squandering our money, Bertie the lying bastard, M50 toll increase and then that eejit Ryan killing off what's left of the construction indstry with new regs.
    It's either overthrow them or just emigrate....I love my country too much to emigrate permanently, so I'm sticking my name in the hat.
