Background: McCreevy was previously Finance Minister in the Irish Government, but fell out of favour with his patrons for his arrogant ways, annoying manner, utter highhandedness and complete inability to listen to his constituents. He's an ardent free-marketeer / economic liberal. He's an annoying man.
The Donkey's Ears used to be next to The Phoenix -- another great music pub. Used to be some mad bastard in there who'd jump up on the bar to do Seanachoi sometimes; "Whist a while and I'll tell you a story..." It was insane down there and in Sir Henry's for Sweat Night (Thursdays) in the late 80s, wicked e around at the time too.
We'd stand outside smoking weed, watch as the guards approached, and then flick the butt into the Lee right as they got to us. Used to drive them mad! Every now and then they'd just come in and search everyone in the pub who looked halfways dodgy.
No!!! The Lobby, The Phoenix and the Donkey's Ears were where I always went out (lived briefly on MacCurtain St. and then in Douglas). This was 1986 to about 1991... that's sad.
Just goes to show how long it's been since I last visited Pana, boyah... (from Macroom, Co. Cork, but in the US). I had no idea M&S had even opened in Cork.
Yeah, they moved into the Republic of Ireland years ago, too... the general reception wasn't great after a couple of years. The food hall is superb, but when it comes to clothing, it wasn't very stylish, a bit dowdy... I don't think they're doing very well there. But once again -- take me to an M&S food hall! I miss it so much (living in St. Louis now).
Couldn't agree more. My favorite transgression (here in the mid west, I'm from Europe) is that everyone, even those monied VPs who make $300K a year, wears suits both cheap and expensive, yet the trouser cuffs are always yapping around their ankles, with no "break", and usually white socks (retch).
For some reason that bothers me. It just looks so awful.
Yeah, the trash they printed about hookers and Lawlor and the car crash in Moscow was fairly disgusting. Malign the man for his actual crimes, not those imagined!
I like this idea. We had the same crap in Ireland with people objecting to the appelation "British Isles", since the Republic of Ireland isn't British or part of the UK. Somebody suggested IONA (Islands of the North Atlantic), which was so ridiculous the original complainants shut up. I mean, really... Taiwan, ROC, China, who really cares.
No, no, to get it right, you'd have to say, "Wait, the EU is part of the UK?" Reminds me of that famous newspaper headline in the green and pleasant land, following major storms in the channel between France and the UK; "Storms rage in Channel; Europe cut off"

McDowell? What an awful bollocks, couldn't agree more.

That's where the Donkey's Ears used to be! Nice talking to you man. Have a good one.

They meant a clean-room suit. Bunny is slang for that I guess.

Ditto, I put the same drive in a 1GHz 17" PowerBook and the performance improvement was very dramatic.
No, we all thought that too.
Health Tip #1: Moisturisers, exfoliants, a healthy diet and some exercise can help with that florid expression. Cut down on the booze too.
See? This whole fashion adviser thing is real easy.
What's the IT employment situation like in Alaska? Just curious.

Nice pun there with 'adieu' (farewell!) instead of 'ado'. Was that intentional? :-)
...maybe he should be reviewing "Teach yourself mixed metaphors in 24 seconds"
Are you really an ex-con? Just curious. What did you get sent down for?

Why is it familiar, do the words "flush with cash" remind you of Liam Lawlor or something?
Feyenoord is a better team!
The cleaner... it's an English langauge acronym so the j would be 'hard' and not pronounced like a 'y', as is the wont of the Dutch.

I get about 3.5 hours battery life on this machine with a two-year old battery. Web, email, some development, playing iTunes over Airport Express...
And the Indians, Pakistanis, whoever else, would agree to shoot themselves in the foot... why?
Boom boom!
