Time to grab your ankles

December 7th, 2010

I’m off to the village now.

I have to buy copious quantities of Vaseline and KY Jelly in the hope that it will ease the pain.

Yes.  It’s Budget Day.

And if you want to know how we got into this mess, take a look -

    That put the fucking interviewer arsehole on his place, had he carried on being stupid he might well have got a slap, the guy put the case over very well especially about the day in the sunshine!

    A genius….. Who is this man? Where and when was this filmed?
    I laughed at all of this but the Michael Flately end nearly killed me!

    Bill – It could have been me, but I would have had to have lost a bit more hair first.

    Welcome ECT!  I have no idea who it is, but I would like to shake him by the hand, and even buy him a pint.

    Thought this was interesting, it could still be the way forward for Ireland,

    FH has beaten me to it.
    How it should be done but of course no EU of Euro’s to worry about.
    Iceland‘s decision two years ago to force bondholders to pay for the banking system’s collapse appeared to pay off after official figures showed the country exited recession in the third quarter

    seems the video’s been removed by the user – any chance you could post a link?  Cardi

    I tried to see the video also, but no soap.  However, our Public Broadcasting System (PBS) ran a news story on the Irish Banking Mess (my words).  Is there no moral sense going on?  Is there no shame?  The bottom line is that the very same sham was, and still is, played upon many common people in the States, all for the gain of greedy bankers and investors.  Were are the criminal charges?

  14. Grandad IRELANDon 08 Dec 2010 at 7:04 pm

    Video restored.  I also grabbed my own copy in case this one disappears as well!  Too good to lose.

  15. Willie UNITED STATESon 08 Dec 2010 at 7:24 pm

    Thanks!  It is a classic!

  16. Bill UNITED KINGDOMon 08 Dec 2010 at 10:15 pm

    The link now works g’dad – well worth waiting for – The inetrviewer might have said “Tell it like it is bearded one”  - “I’m sensing a wee bit of discontent!” Priceless … but unfortunately very true

  18. Jedrzej IRELANDon 09 Dec 2010 at 1:18 pm

    Brilliant!

  19. FH UNITED STATESon 09 Dec 2010 at 11:16 pm

    Grandad
    Eye tube will take that video, please put it on there, I have been telling lots of people about it

  20. Grandad IRELANDon 09 Dec 2010 at 11:53 pm

    FH – I have stuck it into my own account on YT.  If it is censored, I’ll whack it up on the other.
