Islamophilia

How did you manage in London this time round, Borneo?  I know you were mentally prepared this time around, but still a big shock to your system being thrown into such a vibrant multicultural melting pot.

Sure anyone who has driven through Gort will have seen worse!!

Downfall

Those Bangladeshis do a cracking curry, you have to give them that.

I'm sure they do but is that a reason to hand over your country to a crowd of barbarians.

I know of no historical parallel for what's going on in Britain if anyone could show me one I would be surprised.

I have grandchildren attending a school in London where the whites comprise 20 percent of the class,where English is spoken by less than 20 percent of the class,where only food prepared in the barbaric way is served.

I have now a final mission in life,to get them out of there.

Anything you need, Mainwairing, just say the word, we are there for you.

IS there a clear and present danger of your grandchildren being radicalised and co-opted by the Fundamentalists?  We hear a lot of stories about this type of brainwashing.

Scumbag , Grandchildren will never be a worry of yours....

Not for a few years anyway, Wonks.  Do you remember that scare when you thought that one of your grandchildren might be gay?

Grooming is the big fear,bullying another.

I am going to test myself on the punting front,it worked before but this time there will be no recreational betting.

Whats the format of the test, Borneo?

I want to win around fifty grand,will give myself six months am starting with five.

I won't be punting in your field of expertise though.

Well, well, grand ambitions, I wish you well.

Will you be charting your progress on here?

Wildmanfromborneo , did that Scumbag Ozy say he was in Cambridge with MOL ..?

Wonky the use of the word scumbag is out of order.

Michael was a Trinity man, Wonks dear, never graduated.  Too busy making money x

Did he have his ACA qualification when he left KPMG to start the newagents thing?, something I've wondered about. I'd say he probably had having spent 2 years there. Strikes me as a fella who would follow his gut. MOL that is. He was a Tax advisor so he probably did. just strange as they would have done all they could to hold onto him you'd think.

Sory, it would have been the Tax Qualification maybe? that takes a bit longer than 2 years though I thought even if he had exemptions. Ballsy enough move, although I guess his family must have had a few quid seeing as he went to Clongowes.

bigwilly..I agree but wr has cause..read a few threads you,ll see..im sorry to say ...imo oz went below the belt..(he will never agree)and now we see the result..

as for the topic..i agree with Wildman 90% my hatred of the fanatics is well known on here but the liberal left Wildman?..no mate..im born and bred catholic..(ex altar boy..ffs)I have no bitterness towards my own religion,..but all religion..as a atheist..i believe if we didn't have religion..a lot of the worlds problems could be sorted..but Wildman..im with you ..get your kids out of that rat hole..and get them to a decent school..

Must have gone to Clongowes with Ozymandius although I'm fairly sure Ozymandius is in his seventies.

I think the idea that a lot of rich kids coming out of Institutions like Clongowes and Trinity is that it is better to create a job and work for yourself rather than to work for someone else. They often are nearly always well connected and so have access to great expertise. Makes sense I guess, rather than looking after the financial interests of someone else. there is a very good living in that but you'd never get rich off of it. The offer from Michael Ryan must have been very good.

fck this keyboard

Tony, I referred to Borneo's late wife, Borneo has since conceeded that he had no problem with the reference. 

Now I know you Scousers like nothing better than a cause celebre to bleat over, this isn't one, so move on!

if Wildman said..that..then fair enough..oz....I wont mention it again..

thank you, Tony, I do not expect such a noble concession from Wonks.

Mainwairing, permission to start a new thread about your punting challenge?

Michael O' Leary graduated from Trinity in 1983 with a BA in Economic and social studies.As Neil D says he then worked for 2 years as a trainee tax consultant with what is now KPMG.

Anyone else find it strange that you would suddenly leave the tax graduate program with a year left to open a Newsagents in Terenure and then Walkingstown (it is often commented that he worked the till there on Christmas morning)

Even if his parents were wealthy it doesn't really explain it,they wouldn't finance it surely when he was still studying.It's like it wasn't planned but happened suddenly,you certainly wouldn't save the starting chips from a trainee tax consultant's salary(had a backer I'd imagine)

Fair dues to him after that he acted as Tony Ryan's tax advisor initially (who was notoriously difficult to work for from Dennis O'Brien's accounts of being his pa)and the rest is history.

I actually wasn't aware of the newsagents bit at all until I read it in an article posted here. It would be interesting for a journalist to ask him what his thinking was behind taking that step.

He's a funny guy and always a value interview.

Asked by Tracy Piggot on the chances of Si C'etait Vrai over Christmas 'That's French for Not Very Good'!!

great contribution from dj guess(in brackets)mr o leary is like djguess and 98% of people on here and in fact wants to be british, ozy the wannabe is his mate,djguess his mate, anyone else please sign in,,,,,guesserville........in my honest opinion the guy isnt fit to lace jp mcmanuses shoes.....il wait for the day that ryanair builds a stadium in mullingar.......

Geez I'd say the poor people at that hotel bar are having their ear bent, Richters.

Ease up on the expense account scoops.  Down in the bosom of the The Republic, you feel safe and secure and when the pints flow you become all misty eyed and over the top about all things Republican/GAA.

In our country we happily accommodate all divergent views and tend to avoid political matters in the pub!

Del , You obviously live a very sheltered life , what about Evanders remarks re your GOOD AS YOU friends , you must have been taken aback , no pun intended....

Gee! What am I to do!  It just doesn't compute!  Only whites can be homophobic, shirley?

And you living in the UK

Dickie, call me old fashioned but I am not in the habit of meeting strange men in their hotel rooms to 'wrestle' for money.

You could try the local Golden Pages.

hows nepal going virginfingers?u r an embarrassment....and you know it......workrider knows it,in fact every single person with half a brain on here knows it.....lol.....good to see ye have ended your sabbatical...........glad to see you are keeping ozys back......

Del , maybe one day you'll come into the real world , and see it as it really is , although breaking through your mamsy pansy ways will be difficult...When a Real man like him makes that kind of statement , you just Know its got to be true....

Decent of MOL to give the Wildman a mention today,poor rag though.

Only two runners today for Gigginstown,no rags.

I backed both as did the combined forces,both won as odds on shots should.
