    It's time for everyone, and I do mean everyone, to take off their jackets and roll up there sleeves and get this country back on its feet.

    What does this really mean though? Easy to say those words, but what do they actually mean? Give me some examples...!

    I think it's metaphorical for stop whinging, talking everything down, celebrating price decreases in property,etc. Start spending again. If you still have a job, you are probably not as badly off as you imagine. ''Sleeves up approach''. Example of what could be meant here. A coastal walkway should exist between Greystones and Wicklow Head. Unemployed engineers, chippies, labourers could be put on such projects to build them resorcefully and cheaply. However whats the bets if it was suggested at any level? The usual red tape, council, public liability blah blah would shout it down. Just my interpretation, but I accept that many people are just so far up their own asses right now that it's hard to see any daylight.;)

    Have to say that if this place is not to be doomed to going the way of Script, it needs the good people of Charlesland to support it. Otherwise the not so good people will come and will come through our estate to get to it. I'm not really pleased that this place is opening. I hope I'm wrong.

    He was probably gazing up at his portrait of Margaret Thatcher while he typed it. :eek:

    Aaarrrrgghh!!! You know how to insult! And why do you think I am male?

    It means we must all do what we can to the extent that we can, and not forever looking for scapegoats for the fix we are all in.

    Specifically, it means for one thing not going on bloody strike! Hardly likely to help the economy and Ireland's international reputation.

    ... and, before public servants start to lay in defensively about how they are misunderstood and underappreciated, I am one...

    .

    You are saying a lot and saying nothing - you can't just say something like "we all have to roll up out sleeves and get the country back on its feet", and not give an example. "Not striking" is hardly an example of being proactive. So let me know if you can think of any real examples.
