A chap I know mentioned it to me.
I found out just now that I’ve been a neighbour of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott for the past five days. The €40 a night B&B in Kirribillli where I’m staying is literally a stone’s throw from his residence. I went for a smoke at the steps down to the shore about 30 yards from his gaff this morning. I’ll see if I can drag the cunt out for a beer this evening.
Not a source.
One of the lads in the 'RA surely?

Hey Prime Minister![ATTACH=full]1437[/ATTACH]
Just having my morning smoke at the steps down to the harbour outside Abbo’s gaff now. He’s very relaxed about security by the looks of things.
What’s this about smoking, bro???
Good practice for stalking that bird I suppose. Any update there yet?
Irish dancing dresses are very very expensive.
Hit him a box in the mouth for his constant insulting your country and it’s people. Put the smoke out on the cunts forehead.
I don’t think it would be strategically wise to be giving any updates on that either for forum or real life purposes, as the INTERNET is a small place.

I should have put the still lit cigarette into one of them and sold the story about him illegally burning rubbish to a tabloid. He probably would have defended his right to do so however and claimed it helps the environment.
Episode of Fr Ted on now.
Father Brian Eno was actually played by Brian Eno.

Did I see Liam Mackey there as well in the background?
This is no doubt common knowledge among many on here, but not for me until lately (ok it wasn’t today, so fuck off).
Brendan O Carroll is the son of Maureen O Carroll, the first female Labour TD.
Born in 1913, the daughter of a schoolteacher from Galway, the then Maureen McHugh followed two Irish female traditions. One, she was sent away from home – she attended University College, Galway, on a scholarship; and two, she became a novice nun.
It’s not known why she renounced her vows – perhaps her future husband Gerard O’Carroll played a part – but Maureen went on to become a languages teacher.
The turning point in her life arrived on her wedding day in 1936. Married women in Ireland weren’t allowed to be civil servants. So Maureen walked out of teaching and into a life of protest, becoming an activist who fought successfully to have this iniquitous law changed.
In 1954, this council house woman became the first female to be elected an Irish Labour Party TD. And she proved herself a forceful politician. In spite of massive opposition from vested interests, she had already set up the Lower Prices Council to fight price-fixing cartels.
Maureen O’Carroll marched into the Dáil Éireann, the Irish Parliament, on a mission to protect the ordinary Irish shopper from postwar black- marketeering. She went on to become the Irish Labour Party’s Chief Whip.
“And she also tackled social issues,” said Brendan, offering a proud smile. “Ireland at the time was in the Middle Ages and it was actually legal for a husband to beat his wife with a stick, so long as the stick wasn’t longer than his fore- arm. My mother helped change all that.”
Along the way, Maureen not only gave birth to nine children, she also adopted one more, a little boy trapped in a reform school as Ireland then had no care homes. Maureen also made sure no abandoned child would ever be condemned to reform school again, enlisting the help of the head of government, Éamon deValera, to change policy.
But she didn’t stop there. As a TD, Maureen introduced Ireland’s “Short Birth Certificate”, which allowed “Illegitimate” to be replaced by the less judgemental “Father Undeclared”.
Maureen lost her seat in the Dáil in 1957. It’s claimed she had tackled one too many companies (going to court claiming price fixing), and was sacrificed by her party. Meantime, she lost her husband to cancer. But that didn’t stop her. This force of nature set up a women’s refuge and became a top trade union official.
What does the article mean ‘this council house woman’ when her father was a schoolteacher?
