Do you automatically graduate to liking cricket when you reach a certain age? Far too boring for my liking. It would need to be combined with lots of alcohol and some punting to hold any interest for me tbh.
Not as bad as horse racing though. Jesus it seems like every half successful goober from outside of Dublin feels like they need to have; 1. A horse 2. Know someone with horses or 3. Have an avid interest in horse racing. Very tilting having to feign interest in that around the time of major festivals
Now this has to be the winner of the worst troll effort ever??
Hurling can be good played in a few places in the country and in kips like Kilkenny your shunned if you try and play anything else.
Gaelic football is horrible too watch more cynical than most soccer games
Hurling's ok, watchable enough, especially compared to GAA. But people who say it's "the best sport in the world" are lunatics. How can it be the best sport in the world,when it's played by less people than have managed Chelsea.

Jeez, so im now either a Prod, a Dub, or aquiring the traits of Finkle from living in his land too long.
Football is shite, Hurling is decent although the lack of proper competitveness at teh top level is hindering its progress amoung the lower ranked counties.

Better turn internet off, but: how is carbonara so consistently disappointing in restaurants. Such a brilliantly simple dish and yet so many restaurants turn out some dodgy version. Got to be the highest variance menu choice
Who orders carbonara in a restaurant? Second only to chicken breast in the boring stakes.
lol Lame attempts to boost the property market, it must be an Irish budget.
Lets try and go for bubble 2.0, what could possibly go wrong?
It's mad ted. They have the perfect opportunity to completely chance the culture of construction and property ownership for once and for all, yet foursome reason seem unwilling to do anything.

Very lame, 4 years exemption from a property tax of 0.18% per annum is feck all, in the grand scheme of things. That won't incentivise many people to jump off the fence, not like the MIR ended did (another joke, the people who paniced drove the prices up on themselves, and will definitely, definitely end up paying out more in mortgage payments as a result than they would have saved getting MIR!).
.10c on booze and cigs
PRSI starts on every penny you earn?
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Is the 10c on booze pubs too or just off licences?

The maximum tax rate will go down from 35 per cent to 32 per cent for those on a single computation for up to E60,000.
That's for the first year - for the second year the top income tax rate will go down to 29 per cent and drop further to 25 per cent in 2015.
More bad news for cigarette smokers: Duty on cigarettes will rise by six per cent - that means an increase in cigarette prices of between 20 and 30c per packet. (to around €4.50)
Not at all, when I go to a restaurant I like to try something which makes the most of the chefs ability.
Hmm, I can appreciate your point, however if the Chef's masterpiece is a concoction of salmon, asparagus spears on a bed of mushrooms I give him a clap but I'd still eat what my tastebuds prefer!
Hmm tough decision for the pub. Can't really absorb a 10c hike in the pint like we did last time so looks like the price will have to go up. Might raise it on Guinness and leave everything else alone
