offsite link Super Flu? More Like Super Hype Sun Dec 14, 2025 13:05 | Dr David Livermore
Present case numbers for the ?K? variant Super-Flu don't justify the hype, says Dr David Livermore. Perhaps it's the media lust for fear porn, or perhaps the Government's fear of the strike, but it's not a Super-crisis.

In the good old days, children's comics had one purpose: to be funny. Now, the Beano sees its mission as 'mental health' ? and has its own in-house child psychology unit to keep it on message, says Steven Tucker.

its enough for school books for the children of ireland.
-sure why would they be afforded an advantage?
what a pity your pittances mount up so.
what a pity your pittances mount up so.

its enough for an olympic size swimming pool.
-they'd get verucas.

its enough for 200,000 new hospital beds.
-they'd fight over who was getting one.

its enough for 6000 new equipped school playgrounds.
-they'd neglect their studies.

its enough for school dinners.
-they like being the only kids in europe without them.

its enough to pay ireland's share of 3rd world vaccines.
-the irish taxpayer does enough for the third world.

its enough for a better motorway.
-no complaints about the roads here.

its enough for a new dialysis unit in the west.
-they can cut out sugar.

its enough for a new office.
-don't we know

its enough for ????

its only 15% of the extra billion in tax which was claimed in the last year from those who never wanted to pay their tax in the first place.

it 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.

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.....

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.
