Yet again this morning one of RTEs hacks stated we all lost the run of ourselves. Yeah, the workingclass family dreaming of a 3 bed in Celbridge and a holiday once a year is the same as Johny. Restrained myself from doing serious damage to an inert body for lack of a real one.

We need to know whose tabs were are picking up. The next time Johnny flies overhead on his way to Morocco I would like to be able to look up and smile, at the pleasure that all the money must be giving somebody. And the fact that I am playing my part to keep up his spirits, among other things.

The original value of the loans was €52 billion, which means that for each borrower, an average of €5.2 billion.

When you think about it, the few million that the 100 guys that Nama bailed out gave in donations to the three main political parties was the cheapest insurance policy ever.

I could use it as a sigquote.
