to think that if scotland and ireland where independent countries we can all pay at least half the amount of tax.

[bluegreysky]

in england we would all be better off as we wouldn't need to pay anywhere near as much tax, to support scotland and ireland's finacial dependence.

im sick of the way they bleat on about wanting to be there own country and independent.
and the scotish kids getting uni free, funded by us etc.

what do you think?

Ah yes...quite right oops! Hehe...I live here as well.[south east Ireland]

(I get confused by the Irish health system referring to Louth as the northeast though. I'm in Cork).

BlueGreySky is a big fat troll and no mistake. Anyone else see the CS thread? A boycott is in order.

Unfortunately there are not enough Scots "bleating" on about Independence or we would have it by now.

I love Cork and want to live there one day.My gran used to live in Midleton[it's changed hugely over the last 10 years]Cork is one of my fave citiesI live quite near Youghal,though am in Co.Waterford.

Troll. Surely a troll.

Surely an idiot anyway.

bgs, if you're going to troll, at least get your facts straight.

Up de rebels, up the deise, so, dooby!

How are the gang chipmonkey?

Too much Kerry....

[faints in anger]

The gang are very, very loud atm, stleger! Sounds like a herd of Rhinos upstairs!

Doobydoo

I am in Baltimore next week. To look at the rain at this rate.

Have we successfully hijacked this thread though? How was the chess Kerry? Glad all is well chipmonkey? Would anyone like a wee cup of tea?

OOh some smoked salmon and brown bread would go down a treat.

I was in Baltimore last week, and we avoided the rain quite well. It was mostly dry between 11am and 11pm!

That really is not helping StL we will be a house share, five adults and four children.

I will be ramming the car with DVDs for them.

Yeah, I came across this troll last week, in fact I heard Lowri Turner saying almost this exact OP on the Wright Stuff the other week.

Are you in fact Lowri Turner trying to educate herself ready for her next appearance chez Channel 5?

Kerrymum - love Nambarrie tea, but I can't get it down here, and even if I could it would taste awful with the water

Have any pedants already been on to point out that the title should have said either "we can all pay at most half the amount of tax" or "we can all at least halve the amount of tax".

Are you for real?

Ireland's been a republic since the 1920s?

Another day, another troll post.

Seriously, hope school starts back soon.
