    With "Stephen" winning by a considerable margin, I think its time to use it in ordinary, everyday conversation.

    "Who here has lost their job thanks to Stephen? I tell ya, Stephen sure is making life difficult for all of us."

    That sort of thing.

    The Bertie Bust. Named after the aborted Bertie Bowl.
    Bertie's Fianna Failure.
    Bertie's Big Building Bubble Bust.
    Basically anything that incorporates Vainglorious Ahern in it.

    Recession Session, bring your own beer and meet in Dublin city centre to party and protest at the mess Fianna Fail have left the country in for young people,eg; 5 euro for a pint of beer 6euro for a pint of cola, 500k for a poxy flat,negative equity, collapsing economy, crap infrastructure and public services :mad:
