Bird brain referred to the people of Castlebar as All Ireland champions in Whingeing. When given the opportunity to retract later he wouldnt withdraw the remark and had to make an embarrassing climb down today when sobriety probably kicked in. Showing off to his fellow blueshirts who are no doubt sharpening the knifes now waiting the opportunity to dump him out on his arse. He wasnt much good in the debate last week but when he can go off on a rant uninterrupted, the results are usually a woeful train wreck.....do we really want five more years of this bozo meeting the Europeans with his trousers down bent over?

Damn you, now I cant get that image out of my head

And the encouragement to push people from 2008 onwards towards diesels which as all diesel cars are exempt from any actual measurement of emissions during the NCT test, the mind boggles that they brought this upon us unless their aim was to wipe out humans and let animals roam the lands.

Ah the Greens.. fighting LAB for the accolade of trying to be relevant to a disinterested electorate.

Utter and sheer robbery and not a word about it.

The greens are full of manure.

I've paid more tax on my 12 year old car (1.6 Focus) in the last two years than the car is worth :-(

Nothing to do with saving the trees - everything to do with trying to sell cars for the lobbyists in our "motor industry"

They instantly created a system where those who can't/couldn't afford a newer "friendlier" car paid twice - in ridiculous tax rates and resale values.

Me I don't care, I love my big 05 3L TDI Audi A6 .. despite the tax bill

Vincent asleep on the job.

The pension levy was a tax on money that was already taxed, it was robbery.

Here's your buddy duridian.........

Best thing is I was told this month Insurance companies aren't taking quotes on cars ten years old??....

What a wonderful country to let the Insurance company's run it!

They won over the floods, they get away with murder!

My car will be 22 years old this year.

It passes its NCT no bother, can't beat a Toyota. The insurance is more than the car, but I could trade it in and get several thousand towards a new car, which I might do later this year.

If Enda is in a proctology exam, how does he talk to the doctor ? Surely it'd be muffled ?

After banks the insurance industry is probably the next most powerful lobby. Government are completely their cronies and bought of by them.

I've been looking after a taxed and insured 2'0 A4 estate since November. It's owner is back in two weeks. Not looking forward to re-taxing my old 1.6 banger.

How many miles have you done in it? Is it still on the orgional engine & gear box? Some of those 1990s Corallas and Carinas can go for ever it seems. They're probably the only brand of car you see that age that isn't someones Sunday drive

RobertKK

The FG one is silly - she blames FF for closing Templemore, then says FG kept it closed due to no money.

Same engine and gearbox, had to get a new radiator was all.

As soon as he said he was with eircom he lost me - 35 years paying €25 a month for a phone line that they've refused point-blank to upgrade to decent broadband for the last 7 years.

I've seen a few Toyotas from that era go around the clock 3 times and still kept coming in regularly for a service. If you mind them, service regularly and look after any issues before they worsen they are pretty unstoppable. Only thing that can stop them is some bureaucracy deciding they are to old to insure or some such nonsense.

No such thing as Broadband in the West.

Ironic the first ad is for it after the break.

Mickey mouse service.

Broke my heart trying to work from there.

Yeah, insurance went way up last year, shopped around and got a lower rate but still on the high side.
There are only a few companies that insure old cars.

Then there will be a global turn down and no money again.

Ah, another love-in with Marie-Louise.....

Vincent is saying a load of good-byes?

Is this the end?...

Remember that €3billion they didn't know they had, that Noonan and co. "found" back around 2012, which subsequently mysteriously just disappeared and was never again mentioned?

Here's George Hook with a fanny talking :rolleyes:

I won't be sorry to see the end of MLOD....

MLOD still angry at Vincent.

That's planned for the week after the election.

Please let a piano fall thru the roof and land on MLOD..... pretty please????

Mervyn Skidmore

I can see the map. He should have let him talk about it, he probably spent all day colouring it in.

Vincent really drove MLOD over the edge when he said she did nothing for 30 years, all those weeks ago.

I can't understand how that isn't totally and utterly I llegal.

If my '03 and someone else's '98 and someone else's '15 all pass the NCT then they are all equally roadworthy - that's the point of the feckin' thing!

They should also be cheaper to insure since no-one is going to rob a 13-year-old hatchback.

Works both ways by the looks of things. He cut her off again fairly lively.

Maddest debate ever.

Best of luck on Friday for all your special intentions lads - as the Mammy would say!! Lol!!

Ah, that's where another powerful lobby, the Irish motor industry comes in with their money. Of course they are tossing in a sprat to catch a salmon.

Goodnight folks!

I'm probably alone in thinking Vincent is right to apologise to ML O'D. What he said originally was un-called for. I think Mary L is an awful
eejit, but she's our awful eejit!
