    I mean come on now, if you presided over

    (1) an economic boom
    (2) created the GFA and
    (3) improved Irelands place in the world.

    wouldn't you expect something? There are streets, parks and monuments around the country named after people nobody has ever heard of, or unimportant people, yet Bertie hasnt got one thing to his name. This has to change, and as a FF man i'm getting sick of it!!!

    Right I can see were your coming from, Bertie done much for the justice system and for cleaning up crime around the place, so yes that might be an apt option.

    Bertie Ahern Prison, a metaphor for Bertie putting the criminals in their place, I like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 804 ✭✭✭round tower huntsman


    how about a sports stadium, we could call it the bertie bowl!

    Bertie Ahern and Prison seem to go together.

    I saw some grafitti once "prison is where big criminals put little criminals".

    (1) no he didn't
    (2) no he didn't, he was one of many involved
    (3) yes, we are so highly respected now

    You are right though, Bertie hasn't got one good thing to his name and that includes a C2 cert!

    I like this idea. While we mightn't be able to afford a building to name after him, we could bring out a Bertie household goods range. The Government could get involved and create a new household goods bubble for us all to invest in, so we can get the economy going again.

    Here's the storage mattress - for keeping money under when you've won a few quid on the horses.

    Why are posters validating the OP. He is a lackey of one of the two major parties of the state intent on causing trouble. Ignore him, and he will go away.

    When Bertie put forward the "Bertie Bowl" I didn't realise the intention was to flush the country down it.

    OP, you have to be taking the p!ss. But I'd put a few letters after his name like RIP (after I've thumped his head off a wall)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,958 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    Even Bertie seems to have gotten over the possibility that there might be any chance of future respectability for him.

    Proof :

    Watch out for him in a cupboard near you!

    This is from his new advert for the News of the World in case anyone hasn't already seen it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭Fentdog84


    Well if they can put a statue to a liar & a thief he should definitley get one..

    I bet he's put all of the poor lady's custard creams into his back pocket and is planning to sneak out at the perfect opportunity.

    @ Johnny Murphy FF:
    take your pick but I reckon they all apply
    It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
    Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

    I think Johnny Murphy FF is dead right, there should be something set in stone, say a huge plaque that highlighted ALL the lies and corruption, lest anybody forget what Bertie Ahern was really like.
    Hmm, I'd like to see his shoes set in stone and then dropped off O'Connell bridge

    Good stuff, the rest of the country is getting sick of Fianna Fail men.

    I say we dedicate a toilet in McDonald's on Grafton to him,even going so far as to weld a stainless steel carving of his mug to the bottom of the bowl, so every time i duck in for a Mc**** i can enjoy the irony of ****ting on a politician for once.
