Yeah, Difene has been a lifesaver in the past. Couldn't get to GP today and the local chemist was closed, so have had to make do with heat packs and paracetamol, which are rubbish! (I'm a bit grumpy at the moment!) :) Have you tried voltarol emulgel (available without a script) and a neoprene belt,...

Trubutes to Bertie Ahern as he announces his retirement as a TD :roll: Rats....sinking ship.....etc. etc Money motivated... He gets a better "pension" of he goes now than after a re-election. Good riddance to the sod... A myopic politician... Not a statesman, in the true sense of the word...

Isn't everything here an open letter?

Not listed in Sarries ERC squad, ergo is probably inelligible!

Keep an eye out for the NERP - National Energy Retrofit Programme.
There will be a lot of government money plunged into it .... a lot of which is ringfenced funding from the Carbon Tax.

Thought that NERP stood for.. No Economic Recovery Plan

Wouldn't be too hard on the lads. It was a young team and they played all the rugby. A far more experienced Ospreys line-up were reduced to relying on that c**t of a hometown ref who gave them everything. About 20 penalties, two yellow cards and a penalty try. He was so one-sided I could have sworn...

The more I think about it the more it annoys me? Why now? They should have done it months ago or waited until a budget is passed. Now that the Healy Rea, Lowery et al clowns have pulled a typically cynical, self serving, ass saving attempt move of saying they're going to vote against the budget (wh...

OK so no election until the Budget is approved. Funny - not one Green present for the announcement. Strange how (un)co-ordinated this all was !! The "Greens", apparently turning yellow, before going brown and being blown off the tree :lol: But beware the Cahiciveen Cábog, and the Thurles ...

I dont think anyone would argue that Terrace STH's should be given premium seats. I'm in the Anglesa Tce at the Anglesea Rd End & have been stuck in block 135 in the North Stand. My issue is with blow in fans who may only attend one or two games a season or perish the thought.....MUNSTER FANS b...

f%~k this bleeding website. Same old shite.. different day.. Civil war it is !! Don't expect any sympathy when everything goes belly-up in the middle of next year ! Nice. Well reasoned argument there. No one wants a pay cut but where do you suggest getting the money to pay for everything? :roll: I'...

It's a debate for another thread but I honestly think that some elements of the public service have their heads in the sand big time. Striking will get us even further in the sh!t and further divide the nation. If I hear another mention of "It's not our fault" I'll scream... funny how tha...

I just can't agree with any of that. Anyone who has regular contact with the public service in this country knows that the overwhelming preponderance of organs of state are horifically inefficient, lazy and unhelpful. Most of the private sector companies I have had the misfortune to deal with recen...

Look behind populist the soundbites contained in the report summary, and relied upon exclusively by the media, at the real picture. A comparison with private sector sick leave can easily be carried out using electronic information stored on the Social Welfare IT systems. But its convenient to ignore such readily available information, that could be sourced over the space of a weekend, in order to scapegoat a group of individuals.

Most of us who put in the effort, and have done so for many years, have a complete and utter pain in the b*%&!x with the bullshite that passes for fact at this stage.

Those dealing with the public have faced a huge increase in aggressive behaviour directed toward them, as a result of this concerted media campaign. In the private sector the aggressor would be told to leave, and not come back. In the public sector, staff are expected to take it and turn the other cheek.

Pretty clear what happened here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mca2Rp4_uMk Sorry Sarah, I still don't think that's very clear. The bit where he puts his hand to Kennedys face and pushes away? That can't be it. There must be something else. His right hand at the very start of the clip appears to hav...
