Well, Pete, as you will see I have added an apology to my post.

Hadn't seen your apology when I posted, nice to see as I don't think I ever seen a guy on AH apologise for making similar irrelevant remarks about a woman

He looks more like a hamster than a pig, in my opinion.
But that's in no way meant to take away from his ability to write pointless, attention seeking articles on the hot-button issues of the day.

Shea O'Meara

Somebody needed to say this.
Joe Duffy, ardent anti-drugs chap that he is said a few days back that the difference between Gerry and the drug users he gets on the soap box about is that 'Gerry never harmed anyone'.
The nightclub/weekend snorter is no different to the user on the street corner. It's a broader issue I agree, but as regards RTE heads, like Ryan who live in a bubble and don't have to bring their kids up in a neighbourhood with random drug related killings, It's a bit rich.
In fact, he's worse then an addict. They are pretty much screwed, where he did it social, for kicks. **** him.

Yeah but the rest of us don't seem to have as much time on our hands to bother going around in circles picking posts one word at a time arguing aribtrary points.
If that's what works for some, great. I'd rather not invest such a long time arguing for arguments sake over the internet for such a long and laboured time.

Point taken.

The only advice I can say is to fend him off with a few well-chosen one-liners. I mean, he's dancing in the dark, and he was born to run.

I wasn't really comfortable with that post anyway




And I like pigs

If the guy likes a couple of lines of coke, that's fine. Who doesn't??

The criminal element is brought in by governments who make things illegal and don't offer an alternative, or at least check quality and sell it safely to get tax money to give to the EU.

I'm sure I could fix the rest of society's problems too if people would just listen:cool:

MadPatrick

I should also add that he could afford it

Jesus Wept

Should RTE employ coke heads? No.
Is Gerry Ryan responsible for other people's choices/deaths? No, only his own.

She is the head of state, the most respected and acclaimed in our history.

He's talking about McAleese

Article by kevin myers laying into gerry ryan and equating him to the criminal element who supplied him drugs.

May have been said already....., but how does Myers know?

I agree with the majority of his {myers} article.

I think Mr. Ryan had a lot of power in RTE and as such could do as he pleased, that said I do not think he is the cause of every cocaine addict in the country, let's be clear GR could afford the real cocaine, what most addicts get on the estates up & down the country is nothing like the cocaine GR used.

I was waiting for one of these threads.

Two days ago Myers wrote an article saying Gerry Ryan was wrong

Yesterday: No letters of complaints

Today: GERRY RYANS A MURDERER!!!

Maybe not a murderer but certainly a proper hypocrite.

Just what has that journalist's looks got to do with anything exactly?

You're in trouble when the feminists see that post I can tell you.

They hate to see someone being critisied for their looks for little or no reason.

I'm sure I have that right.

He does actually look like a pig, though.

Fair's fair.

What is "the grain" exactly in this case

I wish Kevin Myers would just f*ck off to be honest, it's quite telling that he was chucked out of the Times and ended up writing for the Indo, a rag of a paper.

But hey, no one likes her anyway.

And Brian Cowen gets just as many negative remarks made about how he looks.

This happens both sexes, that is the point - sorry you missed it.

Kevin Myers is bang on TBH. G.Ryan was a pompus egomaniac and as it turns out a junkie, who at the drop of a hat had plenty to say about everyone else's habits and lifestyles. However when it came to revealing anything about himself all he did was lie. His coke habit kept him at the top cause in fairness he did not have the talent to go it alone. His radio show was sh1te unless you were a woman with lumpy tits or a runny fanny. His efforts at TV were utter nonsense and just inflated his ego even further. Good riddance to him and fair play Mr Myers for speaking the truth.

Looks like our Tax money was spent well in RTE
