Things you may not know about Mac

You could not be more incorrect. You could try but you would fail.

I studied Journalism and qualified as a journalist and worked in the industry for many years.

Many of the best journalists out there have no qualifications and have learned on the job. You do no need a professional qualification to be a journalist and there is no certification required to hold down a job in the profession.

You’re getting confused between what is fact and what is your opinion.

At least it clears up why you are such a cranky cunt.
However nobody gets a job in one of the papers these days without a degree of some sort. And I’m talking real journalism, real reporting.

Sure old guys in the trade made it thru in different ways, but those days are gone.

No they’re not.

Look it’s obvious you are bitter you lost your job and are not able to adjust to a new form of journalism and/or a new career but there is no need to be justpig ignorant about it.
Maybe you should start a blog.

Keep digging.

I only ever worked in the digital sphere and grabbed a good redundancy and retraining package when it was available.

There is no need to hold a qualification in order to secure a journalism job. This is the case today as much as it was for the last 100 years, given that individuals can prove themselves via their blog or a review site and use their experience to secure a position.

Well explained.

a picture of him on his back sunbathing on Curacloe beach was used as the architectural template for the millennium spire

kev is after getting some schooling here

But not a journalistic one :smiley:

He has invested a few bob on a related bet that Seaniemac may or may not pay out on.

He needs a refresher betting course from his great pal, Yatesy.

Probability theory wouldn’t be his strong suit.

He bites his nails and wears brown brogues to the races.

Believes there’s a faith worse then blight about to hit the strawberry plantation in Wexford. And has hedged his bets by imagining his a piss poor commentator on TV3

Can you have a think about what sounded funny in your head and when you’ve figured it out, come back and post it. Until then, you’re a fucking clown.
