Its a joke.

I have a mate who registered to an address in Bridgend ( literally 50 yards over the border) and he left his job to go on the dole down south....while living in Derry.

Yeah my cousin's mate is doing the same, he's at an address in Monaghan although he's never there...
I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

its just like the add "They're not great options, are they?"

strong support for the independents there. i think all the main partys have had their chance and

i think people are beginning to despair with the party political system in this country.

WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? everyone thought the greens would be a breath of fresh air and keep

the FFFUCKERS (not a FF supporter, if you get my drift) in check. all the greens are doing is hanging


in for a gravy train pension, cos they know they will be annhi.....annialate....fucked in the next

election. I tell yis lads we will all be marching on leinster house with pitchforks soon.

and that fucker Fitzpatrick from anglo irish is still walking the streets?

You could be waiting a while for the youngsters to fix things. The majority of the ones with academic qualifications dont want to still be residents here once they enter the workforce after college. This country has rotted from the head down, and most of them (including me) want out of this country once they get thier respective qualifications

Then you have the youngsters who aren't well educated. They are the ones who are happy to stay, The thing is though, they also want a weekly dole cheque, and they dont really have much of a work ethic. If you're relying on them to sort things, then you're quiet frankly beyond reality. There will always be exceptions to the rule, there will always be a few who will try, but they are sadly a minority
