Bertie and Michael O'Leary

[Phaedrus]

Poor old Bertie. Everything he seems to touch recently blows up in his face. He would happily have gone to the races yesterday to present the winning owner with the trophy for the Irish Grand National. Little did he think that a rank outsider owned by none other than Michael O'Leary would triumph.

It was a moment O'Leary enjoyed very much. Bertie was obviously very uncomfortable pursing his lips as O'Leary whispered continually into his ear. O'Leary then thrust his wife forward to accept the trophy from Ahern.

Bertie would have been seething given the full page ads O'Leary took out criticising Ahern for his failures on Dublin airport.

1) That wasn't the version which I saw on TV - there was no brimstone, seething anger or discomfort.
2) Ahern did not look in the slightest bit bothered by presenting the trophy to the winning owner.
3) Little did he think that a rank outsider owned by none other than Michael O'Leary would triumph - neither did O'Leary if you believe the tale in the press about not backing his own horse.
4) It was a moment O'Leary enjoyed very much - what winning the Irish Grand national?

5) I see that the quality of threads has not improved in the last while.

If Bertie can control his gurrier side at Mahon I feel sure he can mind himself with O'Leary through gritted teeth, Mick should rename the horse "Bertie the Banker" or "The Dig-out", hope Mick got loads of pics looking forward to his next ads, maybe he can photo-shop the horse to have blonde hair and place Bertie beside it, make him feel at home like, P.S. I hate O'Leary.

ya but which of those two scuts is the lesser of two evils?

[Sonny O'Neill]

ya but which of those two scuts is the lesser of two evils?

I'd nominate O'Leary as the more evil of the two lessers.

Would have to agree therefore, given the time of the year, crucify Bertie.
