Those tapes

0/10

At least it should give us a break from the abortion debate. Fionnnan Sheehan gave Vinny B a fair rattle last nite-both very good journalists (some may find arrogant but aren't afraid to express frank views).

I don't have any party affiliation but I found the taoiseach's performance on leader's questions today petty - point scoring on such an important topic.The release(drip) of these tapes is damaging internationally tho and could increase our yield on gilt bonds with the ridicule of financial regulation.

I would question how long the Independent has sat on these tapes,the timing of the release of these tapes couldn't be worse and will surely effect any chances of a retrospective bailout.

There will be a revolution in this country after the next pint.

Bowe seemed to be the brains of the operation but the way they laughed, joked and trivialised the situation was unbelievable. The tapes were fascinating. Treacherous stuff, lets hope justice will prevail.

I think people expect far too much from executives in these places. What the tapes show is that these guys have no great talent to justify their pay. The funniest part was the guy asking what would happen if they were nationalised and they joked about continuing as civil servants

to answer the op's question those tapes are made from cat gut and cat gut is supplied by those GOYS aka "fat cats in the hats" and, yes, they're all still laughing at you.

What's Denis O'Brien's motivation in all this?

From personal experience of bankers and the murderous and incestuous greasy pole within those institutions that they "negotiated" the new breed we created were scheming, vile and odious

Think I'll have another....

Grand bunch of lads.

Any one notice they're Irish - not German ?

Pity it took them 4 years to go public with them.

I'm sure there's an agenda somewere Gant....

You hit the nail on the head Workrider.
