What Are The Images Of The Celtic Tiger, Real Or Imaginary That Stick In Your Mind?

Berties yellow trousers.

Take the crap he did, there was something funny about that picture. A bit brave too wearing it. The fact that we even had "one of our own" in line with the world elite leaders (many of whom funny enough have been disgraced) was funny

What new relationship? Genuine question.

Not sure how I'd describe it: kind of a sense of family. They come here to work, do so bloody hard, are polite, well-educated, good craic and open to mixing in with things. I find there's a kindred-spirit vibe with those I work with - possible a post-colonial 'Ok we have to go to work anywhere but home but you carry your identity with you' thing. And of course they come from a RCC background so a lot of the mental imagery is directly translatable ('Father Ted' needs absolutely no translation for them) and there's a common subversive/begrudgery attitude to the stuck-up Powerful Neighbours.

Didn't he win some prize for it? Best dressed etc

Sure they were a good match with Celia's and the ex-wife's orange face!
