I know, shouldnt have used the word "band" - "gobshítes convention" would be more accurate.

Mister men

Sickening. Go back to your mansions for your get togethers with Bertie you parcels. Millionaires calling for "positivity".....:mad:

expectationlost

and from the quotes you can see they don't have an oirginal thought in their head just like their music

Star Bingo

don't they just do covers? em westlife fans must be an eclectic bunch aka fans of nothing in particular that just think light shines out of those what they're besotted withs facial orifice. but worrying they're marketed as a tasteful boyband n portrayed as 'sensible' by their songpickers n stylists n thoughtists whist graftin away taking others' compositions singin their little hearts over to em making millions.. brazenly shaming our nation. would have been prime targets for a tiger kidnapping by now i'da thought? anyhow all's positive when youre selling out weeklong residencies even in the midst of this recession thing.. in fetching rick owens leather jackets costing thousands a piece.. even if they clash

that licky byrne is the ultimate cretin for sure i reckon if there was royalty ere he'da married into that instead, no doubt.. but closest thing. even if it appears he married into a witches coven she is a fcuking wretch

Daisy!

Westlife seem like a nice bunch of lads (except for that donkey Kian that everyone says is a rude little bollocks!)....and Nicky is apparently a very friendly, decent guy....however, don't go telling Irish people to be positive when you're sitting in your massive house in Malahide counting your millions! Especially when your Daddy in law is one of the big reasons we're in this shit in the first place. Silly boy! :rolleyes:

He's related by marriage to that lying scumbag Ahern.

And what the hell is Byrne being quoted on the BBC Business site for?

Wouldn't listen to a word the clown says.

Ah would ye come off it, sure Berties an alright fella. Sure all we were calling for was a bit of possivity, is there anything wrong in that?

Go through life with a smile, theres too much gloom out there today. Smiling heals all.

I've seen the error of my ways. Thank you good sir. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to positively think away €200,000,000,000 of national debt.

Nicky and the boys merely wish to raise us up to more than we can be. Only the most craven cynic would condemn this badly needed injection of 'positivity'; i'd go so far as to say that Mr. Byrne's comments will single-handedly turn our fortunes around.
Figures mean nothing when faced with the rallying cry of your average boyband member, delivered through teeth that call to mind the deathly, sterile whiteness of a mortuary wall.

This thread made me look up Westlife on youtube. God I used to love them.

"If I let you go, I will never know, what my life would be - holding you close to me. Will I ever see, you smiling back at me, hoooooooow will I know, if I let you goooooo"

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

I remember when they were Westside. My coolness meter just went up a few notches.

You're actually kinda right, Nicky.
I was just about to remove my comment, but you quoted the bloody thing.
I was gonna remove it, because i didn't mean it as an attack on thee Nicky Byrne; i know nothing of the guy, except for the fact that he's not Ronan Keating.
I'm sure he was just asked a question and responded in the best way he could.

Nicky, isn't he the one with Bertie as a father in law??? :rolleyes:

A quick Google, and I see they have a new album out on Monday, they're nothing more than media whores, out doing a bit of promotional stuff, thinly disguised as notions of concern for Ireland.

I'm also fairly disappointed that the BBC would put this on their business site.

Ah well, gotta stay positive...

Sometimes a post comes along that plumbs new depths of idiocy. The above is one of them. I'm actually shaking my head in disbelief here.

Please point out whats idiotic about it. Why are you playing Mr Oh-so-tolerant-and-reasonable-Devil's-advocate with that "He's entitled to his opinion" bullsh1t. He ain't entitled to jack sh1t.

Nicky Byrne from Westlife economic cure: "Things are very bad," he says. "But when things are bad you need to dig deep and pull together. We're a good enough nation to do that."

taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11802271

So for families/people that are badly off, he reckons they should pool all of nothing that have. Then if other families/people pool all their nothingness together and then they all come together. Then we'll have a massive pooled resource of nothingness, fcuk,wow, I need to lie down.

You interpreted that from 2 sentences of a quote he gave?? Genius!!!

Get over it people. I've no like or dislike for westlife but we need all the positives we can get right now, and if that's westlife being Irish on the international stage or Mary Byrne in z-factor or god forbid,Bono being Bono......it's all positive amid the sho*ite were in. FFS it's just westlife. Direct your hatred towards the corrupt bankers who won't spend 60 seconds in a prison cell for the crimes they committed.

AH response: hate hate moan moan armchair commentate

Why not? Are people who made money not allowed to have an opinion? Typical Irish begrudging attitude. Fair play to anyone who has done well for themselves.

More of that and we might actually get out of this gloom

bigbadbear

is everyone mad on here? give the guy a break. hes right you know! county is in shít no matter what. so Ireland can either be:
a) in shít with happy upbeat people or
b) in shít and full of moany miserable bástards

This country's true artistic brilliance is built on it being full of miserable cnuts. I'd rather be a miserable p1ssed off cnut than be merry and positive with fracktards like the Royal Ahern Family.

Sounds like the poor man's version of Anglo & NAMA to me!
