    All the political hacks are in tonight, except Fionnán :( I want Fionnán back, the show has been very tame since he left.

    Not sure what Reilly is at. Surely there will be a huge exodus from private health insurance in the next year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,585 ✭✭✭✭Lady Chatterton


    I'm raging over all the health insurance hikes, medical cover is a basic necessity but it's fast becoming a luxury :mad:

    I think poor old Fionnan is punching above his weight, never impressed by him.

    According to Baldy it is gold plated. We are not entitled to that.

    the elderly should have to pay more for private health insurance as the young have to pay more for motor insurance

    this risk equalisation business is another example of government interfering with the market for their own ends , old people vote

    I think he is an excellent politicial journalist, he can be a bit contrary when he is being interviewed (he is very defensive when it comes to his paper) but I like his spirit.

    Private health insurance is a con job. Better off putting the money into a jam jar every year.

    His paper does not have the same ideals, that you assume he has.

    I disagree, my parents have been VHI customers for the last 35 years, they have paid their premiums all that time without claiming very much. I don't see why they and people like them should be penalised.

    It's probably lying in Newbridge Credit Union.

    I've never understood that - why age discrimination is allowed on Motor Insurance but not on Health Insurance.

    It's very unfair on young drivers.

    €3.2 million who did he know, who was he ???.

    Considering the hacks are doing the political stuff tonight, can we expect a few politicians to review the newspapers?

    Gene Kerrigan had a good bit on exiting the bailout last Sunday.

    "Nikki St George Smith"

    I wonder if she has a Finglas accent?

    She's Jack L's partner ;)

    Nicci St George Smith

    Nicci St George Smith is a glamorous 20 something who divides her time between Laois, London and Poland.

    She spent much of her childhood running around the grounds of Piperstown House, the official residency of the St George Smiths for over 150 years.


    As a young girl Nicci was heavily influenced by her food loving grandmother who returned from Australia in the 1950s with a love of exotic ingredients.

    She passed this love onto Nicci who can now include snake, bull's testicles and grasshoppers amongst her most memorable meals.

    She'd better not marry him. Otherwise she'd only be known as Nicki L. ;)

    She might be glad to have a short name after years of being double-barrelled.

    "burgulry"

    They didn't teach her to pronounce that at the Swiss finishing school.
