PARTING SHOT

Ever seen Family Feud? It’s the US version of the old ‘Family Fortunes’ format. Anyway, its host was on late night TV this week, and revealed his favourite wrong answers from contestants. Worth watching…

    I think he DOES get it, but he has so painted himself into a corner that he’s trying to spoof his way to saving his political hide. But it won’t work, all thats undecided is how long before kenny is ousted by his own party.

    All out on the 10th.

    Getting sick and tired of the constant media updates on Irish Water. People are not going to pay, get over it. Meanwhile in the real world, the government are happy that this is detracting from other real issues, – other real issues such as zero to no absolutely no focus on actual real job creation by the current government.

    Well, I’ve seen every thing now! That corned beef coloured chancer, Frank Flannery, came out from under his rock and appeared on the Prime Time programme to support this Government and to rubbish the protests. Needless to say, nobody mentioned Rehab :-)
