Why didn't Bertie have a word in his friend Peter Robinson's ear? This could have saved all the trouble with Iris's 50K; she could have won it on a horse and it was also in sterling pounds. Loads of precedent here.

Just goes to show that we are much better developed politically down south. Devotees of the TV series The Wire and those who have grown to love State Senator Clay Davis will easily identify Walking About Money. The Northerners can't hold a candle to the lads down south.

Just a thought: I bet Bernie Madoff regrets he didn't run his scam from Dublin. He would still be walking the streets.

His audacity never ceases to amaze. He thinks he's Billy Liar.
And what kind of low-life lies about what dead people did and didn't do to save his own neck?

That's grand, all honest and above board as we had all suspected (!) We never needed to have mistrusted him after all, there was always an innocent explanation (yeah right!)

I spent $500 on a wild afternoon with 2 "ladies" a couple of weeks ago and when the wife asked where the money went to I happily told her I'd lost it on the horses. Works both ways I reckoned.

Funny, she didn't believe me for some reason or other.

My mouth must be the wrong shape although I never had any complaints up 'til now…

The prick is drip feeding the tribunal with information each time he's caught out , but what about Celia? She's just as smug/guilty as him . Here's a paralell lives scenario: When all this shit was happening back in the bad old days, I was on the dole. If you were stuck for a few bob, a friend would float you a tenner and say " give it back to me when you can". No written record, not expecting it back.
Just like Bertie organised for Celia! Then, when the shit hits the fanny, she pays it back . But he gives her the money to pay it back? I wish my bank manager would be so obliging. And on a side note. Have a look at photos of Bertie, Celia ,Haughey, Flynn(father and Daughter), They all have the same shape mouths! All the better to lie with!!

As in "Senator" Eoghan Harris, Dan…. he really said that ?, this is funnier than a Mr. Ed episode.

Which reminds me, didn't Caligula make his horse a Senator too. Just hope he was as obedient to his master as Eoghan is to his.

Step aside GUBU…here comes Bertie on his pony at 10 to 1.

I genuinely thought that when we all laughed at the "won it on a horse" defence that Eoghan Harris put forward back on the Late Late that we would never hear of it again. Instead it seems Bertie took our laughter to mean we thought it was plausible and so it's back.
