Waters is one of our great charlatans. I have absolutely no idea what on earth he is talking about.

[Keith-M]

Queue jumping is bad manners, no amount of verbose nonsense can justify it.

Apparently, this is a sign of a 'Moralistic tyranny bedeviling our society'.

Moralistic tyranny bedevils our society - The Irish Times - Fri, Jul 03, 2009

Next week:

Waters gets a dirty look while eyeing up blond on the way to meet his friends in Communion and Liberation and writes article on a new prudery taking over Irish café society.

Waters gets caught shoplifting and writes article on imminent alien invasion.

The immediate, instinctive sense I had was that I had died and gone to Purgatory, and faced 30 billion years justifying myself to dead Liveline callers. I wasn’t far out. Quite quickly I realised that I had discovered the middle of the Aer Lingus queue. I slunk back to the end of the line as people tut-tutted and harrumphed around me.

I didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or laugh, actually I laughed.

Brian Cowen’s deeper themes that night were postponement and reassurance, the great themes of fatherhood. What he was doing, very simply, was announcing himself as father of the public realm....... Lemass was the last taoiseach who offered the old kind of fatherhood, the sober, teaching kind who said No more often than Yes and never spoke until he had the final answer.

Cowen fills our need for a father figure

Not possible John. Not possible at all.

It is next to impossible to get a letter critical of him published in the IT

Poor Waters. I think we should all band together to condemn this "tribal attack" against him.

What a weirdo.
