It's very funny

It's already begun - heard George Hook on Newstalk yesteday (talking to the Irish Rail PR guy) and he spoke about taking the train from "Kingsbridge" down to Cork! Wonder did he take a trip out to "Queenstown" while he was down there?

I was wondering what they would demand for the loan.

Or kick out the pricks

Don't get this. Perhaps you might help the dim like me.

You're not missing anything. Just some more sanctimonious pricks engaging in MOPE'ry. Its all someone elses fault. Apparently..

Or you could see it as the family tree of the politics that reached its ultimate logical conclusion with Bertie. A political reductio ad absurdum of populist representational politics.

The video is the same old story, taking its jokes from a past that may have existed but was irrelevant even then. FG are blueshirt unionists etc which is like talking about the colour of the socks they wear, the kind of jokes you'd expect to hear in the golf club. RTE keep the comic stakes very low when the potential for satire is enormous. Dermot Morgans stuff was too risque for them and its all gone backwards since. The informal walking tours are much funnier and more informative.
