    If you look at the painting it looks like Ireland turned on it's side like a sow having her lifeblood sucked out by a greedy farrow of pink Fianna Fáil piglets..
    Who knew that the Bull would be capable of such an artistic critique of modern Ireland

    Quite an interpretation, lol!

    Job for you here Flavirostris
    We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner'?

    If you could get a pair of designer sunglasses on the top it could very well pass for the missus.

    If he takes art will it be tax free like Bert's, or does it have to be abstract or old FF style. And who on the appeals board decides, is Bert's brudder in law still there ?
    You'd think Kenny committed Treason and brought in IMF. Cowen had all in stitches in Galway at 3.30a.m.but he was "not impaired" -DD Power. FF=Publican páirtí an IMF.

    Maybe O'Donoghue will be better off pursuing art now rather than the bottle, like Biffo.

    There's a rather hideous "painting" of a lobsided goose in the Goose Pub on Calderwood Road. It has art critics besieging the place. A must for the discerning.
    The logic-free zone that is Irish politics.

    To my uneducated eye, the abstract pic they speak of, is very very abstract.

    Maybe JOD is trying to start as an artist to get in for the exemptions, would not put it past him.

    Has he paid back any expenses yet, love the story about him on the aircoach, another lad who will be worried about meeting the loolas, wonder did he get dropped off at Fagins to meet the boss.
    Having looked at the abstract think he better have a shot at the Dail again--hed never survive at the painting.
