Bertie's Biggest Fan
@AbiePB @JoeLeogue think that should be filed away in the celtictigermuseum.com
— Sinéad (@noonansinead) March 22, 2012
Worth quoting Mr O’Connor:
Bertie looked the country in the eye and told us he had not cheated us and I think most people believed him. The details will be pored over again and again no doubt but in essence, since Wednesday, no one really believes Bertie Ahern was...

Househunters in the Sun
Submitted by ‘Dylad’ - RTE really encouraged this kind of nonsense on the back of our license fee. Where is the baldy chap who presented it living now? Bulgaria, I hope…not able to get a flight home. I am choosing the Bulgarian episode as the epitome of this awful crap.

Tiger Trampolines
Trampolines!
Every house got one in the boom, in the early years it was an 8ft job and by the end they were all 13FT with enclosures. Mums and Dad’s around the country fell off them at 3am in the morning drunk on Celtic Tiger Champagne and Cocaine!
Most ended up blown on to the roof during the first November storm.
