Nforce

Taoiseach Brian Cowen is apparently set to address the nation ... to be broadcast at some stage on RTE1.

Will someone in RTE please throw they're shoes at him?

I'm sorry but the All Ireland Talent Show is on until 7.30. There would be national uproar if he cut that programme short.

I call shenanigans.

Cool.

This will be the speech where he tells us to, in one countrywide synchronous movement, to bend over and know what it'll be like to be fcuked!

Some sort of ''time to tighten our belts bla bla bla'' speech I'd imagine.

Waste of good shoes. I hear Tesco are doing a special on Mars Bars.

Biggins

I wonder if he will explain why he and his minsters have been barefaced lying this last week!

How can we now believe the words of a liar that has been exposed yet again!

Oh jesus I hope they don't. I think I might need oxygen shortly for all the laughing I'm doing at this.


I knew there were weirdos out there, I just didn't realise there was so many.

Latest update from RTE.ie

"He polished off a Big Mac and is now onto his chicken nuggets, he is expected to depart to the studio after his McFlurry.'"

There's a better chance of a pint in his hand to be honest.

I hope he actually says something. He addressed the nation during the week, and managed to stand for 20 minutes and not say anything.

Meh, I'm just going to wait for Reeling in the Years 2010 to see what he said.

Biggins

I haven't seen anything to confirm this!!!

palance

It's mentioned on the BBC news ticker now

brianthebard

Would be just like the ****er to 'address the nation' and do it in hiding.

Is Twitter reliable???

*shrugs*

pablomakaveli

I flicked over there and saw that daithi o se guy was on. Why does RTE put him on tv? He always comes across as a culchie gombeen who has just found himself in front of a tv camera.

KeithM89_old

If its on Twitter, it must be true...

Betcha he's hungover again

There's a fairly good chance there'll be a thread about it here, later. You won't miss a thing.

nanook

What station. Any ideas

Killer Pigeon

Ok, it's past the time.

RTE1 - Some talent crap
RTE2 - Some other Shite.
TV3 - Again some other crap.

But it's not the crap we're looking for.

Dean820

No sign of him.

thepcgp

lads, i think if ya put a shotgun in that fella's mouth he'd more than likely take a bite out of it and ask for seconds

Was this just a lie?
