Spot the difference
Grandad February 28th, 2007
Can you tell them apart?
The one on the left is Bertie Ahern. He likes standing around in water looking stupid.
The one on the right is Bertie Aheron. He likes standing around in water and looking regal.
The one on the left tries to abuse his position and then cries when he is caught.
The one on the right tries to steal my goldfish and flies away when he is caught.
The one on the left is arrogant and illiterate and thinks he owns the place.
The one on the right is arrogant and illiterate and thinks he owns the place.
The one on the left has a lot of friends in high places where they can abuse their power.
The one on the right has a lot of friends an high places, mostly in trees.
If the one on the left called to my property, I’d tell him to f*ck off.
If the one on the right calls to my property, I set the dog on him.
The one on the left flies around a lot at great expense to the taxpayer, and damage to the ozone layer.
The one on the right flies around a lot and looks graceful.
Of the two, I much prefer the one on the right.

What taste!
How come the Heron is Blue? Will it be the symbol and colour of you epolitical campaign
It’s just the shadow. He is , in fact a sort of slate grey. The blue matches the other fella’s mood.
Very well put Grandad! You could make a poster out of that!
Will I send it to Bertie?
That heron has more grace and intelligence in its beak than Ahern has altogether.
Is there any way we can force a coup and put thet bird in power?
The only problem is that I would then have the other yoke standing in my pond staring mournfully at me all day.
Be honest - could you take that?
The one on the right is a Blue Heron and the one on the left is a Great Eejit…..no wait that’s Great Egret, or is it and why not set the dog on either of them?
I don’t care for herons. One lived outside our office a couple of years ago, and ate ducklings (there was a pond of sorts).
I far prefer swans, though even those can be quite threatening, and one tried to eat my foot when I was 4.
@Brianf - My Sandy is fussy. She won’t eat offal.
@Rob - I like herons. I think they are magnificent birds, but I must admit they have disturbing eating habits. I like my goldfish too.
But it’s better than the one on the left - he eats dead rats, and sometimes live ones too. And look what that did to Mary H.
The only place I’ve ever seen herons is in Dublin Zoo, where they opportunistically wait for feeding time so they can fly down and grab the fish.
They’re all shifty looking, on one foot and all, but they’re still a magnificent bird.
You could always tell Ahern to stand in Dublin Zoo all day on one leg. That way, the bird could seize power and Ahern would have to wait for 3pm to get his grub.
You should call out to my place, Dario. The bugger [Aheron, not Ahern] calls nearly every day.
Damn good idea about the zoo. But I’d put him in with the lions……
You should all buy my fridge magnets…

Peckerhead - I don’t normally allow advertising on this site unless I get all the kickbacks.
But that one is classic! I think I wet myself again.
BTW, in return for the advertising you can damn well send me one!!!
It’ll be my pleasure, Grandad.
I do appreciate the advertising; I’m beginning to think I may have somewhat overestimated the market for these, and while 500,000 flat magnets don’t take up all that much space, the magnetic field generated has knocked out most of the electrical appliances around the castle. Damn nuisance. Also, a neighbour’s child cycled by the other day on his new mountain bike, and there was nearly a dreadful accident!
Ah well — one down, 499,999 to go…
I’d better not go near you so - the pacemaker and all that….?
Thanks for the magnet. I look forward to receiving it.
HERE! HANG ON YOU CHANCER….. I NEVER TOLD YOU WHERE I LIVE.
It’s already in the post, Grandad.
Are you forgetting?
