previous caller "we've suffered"

Damo operates in a vacuum

I'm sick of this "they won't sell that house"
They will sell it. If you can't sell something, it's because the price is too high.

Could Damo really only find one caller that disagreed with the Kellys?

I hope the German tax payer isn't listening to this dross.

the bank could have gotton Pat Kenny to change the locks, he'd have done it cheaper and faster without the couple even noticing.

the baliffs were just there to stop Pat Kenny from changing the locks.

I'd say pat is redrawing his land boundry as we speak.

Thursday April 19 2012
BRENDAN and Asta Kelly operated three shops under the Irland Haus brand in two of Germany's most beautiful and exclusive resorts.

The couple had two shops in the affluent island of Sylt in north Germany, which has long been a playground for Germany's wealthiest inhabitants, including tennis star Boris Becker and model Claudia Schiffer.

They also had a shop in Rottach-Egern on the shores of Lake Tegernsee in Bavaria, which is about 2,000km south of Sylt.

O'reilly and his glove loving audiencecontributors should fook off.

D'omen is a really good little catholic boy at heart.

No wonder he has that lucrative Saturday morning "Countryfile" slot nailed down.

Mooney just called him Joe!!!

RTE presenters are probably in similar situations with multiple properties! Remember Gerry Ryan taking the píss out of one of the researchers because she was the only one in the office that only had one property!

Final thought on the Killiney thing, why didn't they use the income from their multiple property rentals to rent a nice house, rental prices haven't fallen nearly as much as house sale prices?

One that sickens me the most is Mike Murphy always on Late Late or Saturday Nigh show moaning in a pretend self deprecating way about his income from property investments having falling through.

He's another bollocks. Harcourt Developments should be called Half finished Developments. Did Gay Byrne bet is ass bitten by property? He went bankrupt a while back

I think Gaybo got shafted by his accountant. I don't think he went bankrupt, but a lot of the money he earned disappeared.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, did he share an accountant with Leonard Cohen by any chance

That whole glove thing is hilarious.
Padre Pio wore the glove to cover his stigmata, they say.
Maybe he wore the feckin things to cover his LACK of stigmata!

He was a bit of Derren Brown...

Bank shares went south.

I think today was the worst I have ever been exposed to.

In past episodes Damien seemed to have a slight awareness of time, place and environment but this past shift has been a confirmation that he is cut from the same soggy timber as Joe.

I thought exactly the same, surely if you had the signs of the stigmata you would want to show them off???

I disagree. I think he is very different from Joe. He just has no room to manoeuvre. I reckon he has been given a very strict set of instructions from the duffster and can't deviate from it. So religious stuff - good. FF bashing - bad. Suppress calls of complaints about Aer Lingus, but amplify calls about Ryanair or anyone else. If it involves religion, put it front and centre, if a call isnt going the way you want it, use the "bad line, terrible line" technique.

By all intents and purposes Damien is quite successful at his farming programme, so its not that he is out of his depth, he just can't put his own stamp on the show.
