Well that's a lovely image to go to sleep with....his knockers swinging about while he cheats at golf....

Anyway back to Cowen. Sure lets see what comes out in the wash as they say in the next few days.

Opening up that can of worms again here and the FG lads here will be all over it but it was very clear he broke “guidance” in terms of distancing measures. He broke no rules but what an arrogant self absorbed idiot to do that much during the situation we were all in, so yes, it is relevant.

But it's not.

And your anticipating your incorrectness being pointed out by preemptively trying to say anyone who does so must be a FG'er. Not going to wash.

Maybe he had two pints of wine?

I wouldn't be a fan of Varadkar but if that is the best someone can throw at him as a criticism they are seriously reaching. He has always come across as incredibly boring and straight laced tbh.

Ur elected a leader act like one , Michae’l Martin has failed dismally at first hurdle. My initial point was there plain stupid
So mr Varadkar knew fine well he was going to be photographed half naked in a group yet proposing social distancing and stay at home for rest of the country .
Where is the difference in that and Michael Martin appointing a minister disqualified for drink driving but yet will govern how many road safety campaigns while in office!

I simply wouldn't bother looking hard at them. Find it very odd that you've taken topless in the sun with friends and compared it to drink driving.

At that stage you were allowed to go out within your 5km which he did, he was with his partner who he lives with which was allowed, and they were with two friends who sat apart from them.
Again all within the guidelines.
So yeah one isn't anything like the other.
The mostly homophobic bile he got for it online was horrendous btw.

Anyway off topic and I am off to bed.

Ah who gives a sht. Cowen is gone and rightly so.

About time too. Wonder who is next.

There paid well to act with common sence at all times , so wether it’s dress correctly or leave ur dress on for that matter.
Or pay for a taxi home if ur drinking or stay in a hotel if u can’t drive home.
Going on swings with a alcoholic drink in ur hand.

Dressing correctly whilst relaxing on a beach or in a park during one of the hottest days of the year would be a pair of shorts in most peoples book. I do a lot of swimming and water based activities, so I'm pretty much used to the human form in it's flesh. I'd see my friends with no tops on every week.

Maybe you're not used to it and the sight of a mans torso offends you. Very strange.

It is not homophobic, it has to do with carrying on the roll he’s paid for properly . That’s for privacy of his own home away from cameras and public eye.

Change the same scene to Michael d our president (spare the thought but however)
Is it still appropriate if it was michael d in the park half naked ?

Dude, it's the human figure. They come in all shapes and sizes! We all have them, if you don't like certain ones of certain ages, backgrounds, orientation etc... don't look, but they're here to stay!

Your entitled to your opinion , I don’t see it appropriate behaviour for people leading this country . Fancy heather Humphreys, Mary Lou sprawled across our tabloids because the day was hot . Maybe page 3 might pay them for few saucy ones

Tbf, it's pretty easy for you to waltz in here and draw first blood in the torso stakes.

You were off to bed a while ago and still responded

He did not adhere to distancing measures, don’t kid yourself, these were government guidelines and he was our ‘chief’ responsible for issuing these guidelines during a crisis. There’s no real argument, it is what it is, he let himself down and drew up his own set of rules like so many of our officials do.

We have different tastes in media. I didn't see the pictures.

Anyway.. I'm not in to the whole modern, shrill body shaming thing, if the young, old, big or small ladies want to rock out in their bikinis more power to them. Just make sure you stay at home banging away on your keyboard in your Victorian suit. Don't want your sensibilities rocked.

What's the question? I can barely understand what you're typing, just a strange statement and drinking clothes and a list. Then a demand for me to act like a leader. Have you been at the sherry?

Yes, I do think politicians should be paid more. I think that's especially important in a small country like Ireland.

At the moment we have people like Alan Kelly who are lambasted here and on Twitter from one end of the year to the other. I won't give you his back story, but himself and his brother are a prime example of what social democracy did for Ireland. And he has given up his personal solicitor business to be a TD. He'd make far more running his practice down in Tipperary.

Yet there he is in the Dáil. Not for the money. Not for the love on social media. Doing it because he believes in Labour, and believes in social democracy.

Talk is cheap, lads. Go into politics yourselves.

:cool:

He's in it for the power. "I love power".



We don't need to draw people in with promises of more money. It should be a calling. It's an honour IMO.
We don't tell people to become a mechanic if they have issue with their mechanic etc.
Kelly is a sign of what's wrong with the Labour party.

I asked u replace Leo Varadkar with Michael d in that scene of half naked in a park with his friends is it acceptable level of behaviour for a leader of a country?

Rubberchikken

I could've care less if leo was striding about naked but cowen deserves to be fired. He's behaved very badly during this issue.

Heather Humphreys is another one who should be questioned on the letter she passed on for that farmer who was accused of animal cruelty on his farm, and not for the first time.

These people are elected representatives and a little bit more is rightly expected from them.

Yet time after time they prove themselves to be lying little toerags.

The gardai haven't shone too brightly in this imo. It suited their agenda to put this in the public domain.

Such a shame they haven't the backbone to deal with and publish issues within their organisation.

Of course it's acceptable, why not, cause he's old? Are we to ban older people from taking their shirts off in the park on sweltering days cause it's visually unacceptable to the likes of you? Not going to happen chief.

Taking off ones shirt on a hot day doesn't render them any less responsible. Now, lay off the sherry and go to bed.
