So, do we all still have Eurovision-mania?

Don't wanna be the only one on the thread tomorrow rooting for Molly Somebody-Whonow!

I think women feel guilty naturally...

Alright, that's enough, I think.

That blonde closest to Ryan....

Kathleen's junior ministerial salary, expenses, turning up money etc etc, plus her husband's salary for being her assistant. She's long since forgotten where she came from. She's a fcuking hypocrite of the highest order.

And her "th"s are non-existent. Mudder. Dis. Dat. Dere. De. I know that's irrelevant to her abilities, but God damn it's annoying.

DLB talking about Dynasty.

And Joan Collins is sitting in front of him.

It's an open goal and he missed.

What's that?

Is that the hole they are putting Omar into?

Yes, they represent them (or at least they're supposed to), but they aren't representative of society as a whole.
I don't understand why some people are so resistant to the idea of more female politicians...

Rewind.

keith16

Her views on men are, ironically, the exact type of thing she was giving out about when the boot was on the other face.

"Dynasty" is just a glommed up way of saying "nepotism"

Bingo.

Yer wan comparing politics to a plumber or carpenter wanting to hand on their skills to their kids and, have them carry on the family business was laughable.

Guess what missus....if an unqualified plumber makes a mess of things in my house, I just call another one. The fate of country is not going down the effing toilet just, because some some unqualified wanker has delusions of grandeur, because his Da is a TD. Makes my blood boil. :mad:

They sure are.....that pie chart is filling up nicely. Speaking of pie, I just remembered there is an easter egg in the press.

I may eat it.

Her own political Dynasty

you mean, employing her partner as her PA?

Ally Dick

Nepotism in politics is disgusting. I know her father committed suicide but that doesn't make her the woman for the job.

Zulu

Who was the tool sitting closest to tubbs?

Surely that would dissuade her...

I don't think it matters whether it is male, female, Fianna Fail, Fianna Gael, etc that gets into government, if the same secretary's of state are still there, then anyone we vote in are nothing more than puppets.

Mr.Nice Guy

The system is a machismo-infested shambles populated by boorish oafs. I can understand why women don't want to be part of that, but there's a lot of good men who are equally put off by it all as well.

Agreed. I don't think she even knew what point she was trying to make there. What other job can someone with zero experience walk into at that salary level. None that I know of, anyway.

Where the fudge is Dara??

Thus sounds like something else...

Ol' Donie

Jaysus wasn't expecting that voice out of him.

Harry Angstrom

I demand a rebate in my TV Licence for this black and white piece.

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to explain what you mean: they "represent", but aren't "representative"?

RayM wrote: »

I'm absolutely NOT resistant to the idea of more female politicians. I'm resistant to the idea of the election chances of members of ANY particular cohort of people being artificially inflated.

What's next? Rules that say that 1.7% of the Dail has to be Asian, 1.1% Black, 0.8% Other?

le la rat

I was sure that was a woman singing

Meangadh

HOLD THE FRIGGIN PHONE

This song is sung by a MAN?!

I've heard this on the radio loads of times. Jesus.

It's all the same now

.jacksparrow.

I thought a 21 year old skinny hipster sang this, wasn't expecting this image!

Skid X

Bressie had a song called 'Show Me Love' a while back which was very similar.

take everything

Aw.
Nice kid.

OK just realised I'm an hour behind on rte +1.
Morto.

Doesn't matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in :mad:

Shouldn't the lead singer be working the door?

Where the fudge are we going to get .8% of an "other" Austria???

Oops69

I don't thinks a glam rock revival is going to work lads , sorry

The video for this song is showing in the background. The guy in the video is Paul McLoone (TodayFM DJ and lead singer of The Undertones)

Joe Duffy..

Marc Bolan rip off

Welsh Megaman

Dara is going to get approx. 4 minutes of airtime at this rate

Skid X

11.30 already.

Dara O'Briain coming on after 94 minutes, with injury time already up, and his team 5-0 down.

Problem is its not her fault, it's the people that elected her. All these nepotism cases have to be elected by someone. I don't like dynasty's myself but what can you do it's the local people that are the problem

I think RayM means that they are supposed to represent, but actually do not.

You can imagne eejit Enda thinking "Ah shure we'll let his daughter run in the by-election. She'll get the sympathy vote. Job done."

Skid X

nice Sesame Street numbers music.

sudzs

Yay! Daragh!

Skid X

I love seeing comedians work in progress shows, it's interesting to see what does and doesn't work for them.

Sir Oxman

I wonder will O Broin help Tubridy along?
See how the LLS works, the opposite way to everywhere else.

And it was and he did and the thick spuds voted exactly that way.
So who's the eejits again?
