    To be fair, i dont think any party, given the same opportunities to spend money willy nilly would have passed it up.

    No i wasnt attributing everything wrong theyve done back to that, but it grinds my gears when people say "Oh they were so greedy, they used up money" yada yada yada.

    A friend of mine on fb earlier on made a very good point that in this country to be taught anything decent about politics you would need to take a law degree.
    Its one of the biggest flaws in our education system, sort that out and we wouldnt have idiotic voting such as:

    No its a good point. Its also worth remembering that Labour and FG both criticised the government during the Celtic Tiger years for not spending more in their annual Budgets. They'd have spent more!!!

    So I spent this morning giving a manual handling and safety in the work place training course. Everything went fine and smooth. Then at the very end I tripped over the leg of my flipchart and cut my head and fecked up my ankle. Irony you are a cruel mistress.

    Something to do with centripetal force. You have to get amazing rotation on the glass for it to work though, similar to a rollercoaster doing a loop the loop.

    feck sake. Trying to buy an xbox off adverts, some delay in responses. Whenever I have tried to sell anything, if someone made an offer, I would have almost bitten their hand off.

    Also, that was weird, one of the first time I have had to venture into page 2 for the Off topic thread. A sign of two big raws and a decent ppv perhaps.
