Is that you Anthony??

Don't know how someone with such a pathetic opinion even found their way into AH.

Just noticed there's a horse outside in my front garden...of all the things.

Willie O' Dea got lampooned and laughed at and still managed to have a sense of humor about it.
So well done and fair play to him

Maybe you should do the same recipo?

youre being ironic right?

right??

ascanbe

It's not a trivial matter, though. It's not like seeing a stray dog or something in your garden; can't just run him out of there or adopt him as a pet.
I've rang the guards anyway; hopefully they'll locate the owner and we'll go from there.

Well this thread is a load of shite.

Does it look like Billie Piper after half an ounce of coke? If so she's my hoorse.

Hah! Why would I be discussing the Rubberbandits at a job interview?

That makes no sense.

Have you ever indulged in oral sex at all recipio? Bet you quite enjoyed it. Try discussing that at your next job interview though and see how it goes down.

Why on earth would something like this come up in a job interview? That's just ludicrous.


As for saying this would never be shown on a UK channel? Did you happen to see Jerry Springer the Musical? The BrassEye Special on paedophilia?

Of course they'd show this.

OK Mr. Doyle, here at Job Inc. we have a very active social scene, tell me, what do you get up to when you're not at work?

Well, I enjoy trading bags of yokes for horses and various other activities including eulogising the drug culture, violence, traveller culture, oh and on the weekends I degrade women while dressed in a suit with a plastic bag over my face. The usual kind of thing, ya know.
So... do I get the job?

On a more serious note, they're not travelers either, that's just how they talk in Limerick. How rude of you.

AnonoBoy

People who don't get that they're taking the p*ss are a bit slow I think.

No, the video is funny, satirical and clever. It makes a mockery of the drug culture, violence etc. If you think anyone aspires to be like the characters portrayed in the video then you need to take a step back into the real world because theses characters aren't supposed to be glamorous.

It probably wouldn't make it onto TV, even though there's no overtly offensive content in the video, it is a comedy video after all. That's just an unfortunate aspect of the PC nanny state we live in that people like you have created. The video hasn't been on RTE anyway, it's on youtube.

Limerick isn't considered a laughing stock, it's considered a fairly wild and dangerous city by many, most of whom probably haven't even visited it. The Rubber Bandits have grown up with this attitude and seen the ridiculousness of the situation and are portraying it light heartedly. They're basically exagerating the publics perception of Limerick for laughs. That's funny. That's comedy. That's pure talent. They're about the funniest thing this country has produced for over a decade and Limerick should be proud of that. I don't think of limerick as funny. I don't think "limerick" and laugh.

Willie O Dea is far from spineless. Name one politician who would ever come out in full support of something a little controversial. That took balls today and he has nothing to gain from it so fair play to him.

I don't get your point here, it's just nonsense. Why would this topic even come up in a job interview? I think we all despair this country every now and again but it's more often the fault of people like yourself pushing ill informed draconian opinions on the rest of us who have better sense than to take a comedy act so seriously.
