What a farce
We have all heard the term "give em an inch and he'll take a mile" it comes with years of being able to do what one likes and being answerable to no one, government agencies and many civil service departments and the like.
The TV series Yes Prime Minister was not all that far from the truth when it mocked the British political system and could just as easily have described the Irish Dail and its many tentacled government departments, committees and quangos.

Bring back Bertie!
Last week I predicted the "bring back Bertie" calls and then the Sunday papers were full of them.
Wish I could predict the lotto numbers as accurately. Even that would make no difference as I don't play lotto. What was Bertie's big crime anyway in hindsight?
Alright he took a few bob from buddies to dig himself out of a hole, no sin there right? Sure there might be a tax liability but he can pay that and nobody died.

Drink driving
It came as little surprise to me to hear on air recently that nearly half of all positive drink driving charges and motoring offences are thrown out of court. One of the main reasons it would appear is that people are claiming not to have received the summons or a technical error like a wrong address or a mis-spelling.
So why should it surprise anyone that parking and speeding fines are being tossed out by judges across the Cork courts, on the basis that the culprits claim that they never received the initial fine?

In the past three weeks, for any those of you who may be interested, I have lost over one and a half stone in weight and while it may sound great it certainly wasn´t easy! It has involved intense short sharp shock training where the body parts are pushed to the dead zone, to the point where you can push, lift or endure no more. Five days a week at six in the morning. Then it is home to an egg white omelette with one mushrom and one small tomato. This is the precursor to a daily diet of steak (lean), chicken, tuna green beans and celery. But not all at the same time. Added to all this is four litres of water a day and you are sure to be running to the loo , constantly. I cannot argue with the results and should soon be welcoming my brand new six pack. The closest I will realistically get to a six bag is hauling one from the nearest off licence.

It was inevitable that we would all be hit with a tax increase, it was coming, as were fags, wine, petrol and car tax. The old reliables.

Kate Perry singing about Kissing girls is, in my opinion an insult to women.
While some may just see it as a harmless ditty it does nothing to further the cause of women in a mans world. It's another link in the chain of this new cool fashion I like to call "designer lesbianism".

The last time I experienced the negativity and panic of the last year was back in 2001, after 9/11 to be precise.
I remember at the time giving away gas masks on the air! I actually had construction supply companies clambering to get on the radio to tell the public why their gas masks would be the best available in the event of a chemical attack on Ireland by Osama Bin Laden and the bold men from Al Qaeda.

What's the first thing this government decided to do this week when we hit rock bottom and they all gathered in Galway for a chin wag?
