Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5it was supposed to make the management of the Irish health service more efficient and run the payroll at the press of a button. It transferred one million to one worker's bank account, by mistake. The worker wasn't supposed to get paid a million in wages. A million is nothing.
one million is even less than pittance.
its not even the steam of urine of a government's budget.
one million wouldn't even pay for the election posters of a national party.
one million wouldn't even buy a hospital ward-.
one million would only get you 20 playgrounds.
one million would only buy blankets for all the people who don't stay in sub sahara.
we try our best not to even count one million.
Anyone remember this little question before the launch of the Euro?
21billion in FREE gas for shell.
50 million on voting machines, no papertrail, no accountability, no verification. 600,000 a year now to store them.
Where are the 2000 cops
Were waiting for 'private' investment to open the brand new wards at James connoly Memorial.
The tunnel has overrun by a factor of 6 times the original estimate. And it wont take the supertrucks.
The suicide rates are soaring through the roof.
Society is falling appart at the seams because no one is home anymore-trying to pay extorsionate prices for tiny housing units in the floodplains of Meath.
The blood of 100,000 souls on our hands because they helped murder innocent civilians so Bush and Bliar could control more of the worlds resources.....
is shelving the pittance
& I have the chip
on my shoulder.
i never lost that chip on my shoulder. i took it away with me to foreign lands which yet merited domestic secret services and all island solutions or photo-ops. So i moved further away. and then i watched the individuals i had left behind at mild rascalry grow in the depth of their deceit and avarice. meanwhile a new generation of chip bearing shoulders arrived. this photo is the moment a hooligan and sub grade poor person or racaille as they say in french put a chair through the progressive democrats window.
my chip on my shoulder doesnt hurt so much anymore because for the most part other people carry it. we are now going to put the former tanaiste, minister of justice, leader of the progressive democrats, attorney general and ribid gurgle big swinging mickey mc dowell on the receiving end of a tribunal and investigation.
well done mickey.
you never answered the questions that mattered.
you sniffed round my garden and now you have won the future attention attendent to same. what does it feel like now you have no magical powers i wonder publickaly. in a few more weeks no-one will even think of ignoring you. it is doubtful that your spawn and offspring will get off petty criminal charges without resentment. there is such a long list of people who really want their ounce of your flesh- metaphorically speaking.
it was always a most conceited address to take or use of seats.
