I could not agree more. I met this guy in the Kerry Mountains one day he just appeared out of nowhere, from a ditch. He was dressed in an old worn suit and had ginger matted hair. He said that if I was from You Magazine or Hello to eff off. I said you would burst the lense on my camera and he promptly gave me a hug and said lets take a shot. Still got that picture. Now he was as crazy as they come, funny man. Never a dull moment did I have in Ireland.
Or Charlies Bar,in Cork, open at 6.30 in the morning. Or even better Robert a place call the Hi-B, I know you and the owner would get on a treat. He is one of a kind.
Unfortunately, Berlusconi is a bit of a laughing stock in Europe, regardless that people keep voting him in. He has given people jobs in his government to people well, lets say are experienced in some areas but definately not politics. The media in Europe play a big part in this and not just the hounds from the UK.
Albeit rumour one does wonder if this was a set up of some kind, using a person with mental health issues is a good way to disguise the underlying truth of the real perportrators. If found to be true will only bring more sympathy for Berlusconi, as if he has not got enough already.
I relocate for work and will do so for the man that has moved the world from right under my feet. Living in a different country is not a problem for me as I have done this many a time before. Though for some the culture and way of life can be very difficult, perhaps not what they expected.
The mafia is so engrained in Italian history they will never be rid of them. If one is arrested you can guarantee there will be another to take their place. Berlusconi can orchestrate this and have them eating out of his hand if he so wishes. But just like any other high profile person he is not immune from any form of attack, or warning.
He is truly a first class athlete and I shall never forget the day that he just strolled over that line. He is a class act and has done wonders for the sport. Young people in the UK who are into their sports have the upmost admiration for the guy. Good post!
RE: I'm Irish?
Sure is, how you pour it, the temperature and pressure in the pipes. In London it tastes like pisswater!
