Poor old Lt ?? on Page 7. I too would be in a permanent sulk.
On a happier note, Col. Carter's retirement photo on Page 5 brightens the pages.

Am expecting mine any day now, which is why I' m asking
You' re being sufficiently cryptic to stir my curiosity....."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!" -

For those of us An Cosantoir free, can you post pictures?
I did have a free subscription when I left the Army as a pensioner
but they stopped sending it when my Pension receipt address
changed first to Germany, then Romania.

Couldn't agree more, Trellheim, puts the comments about Lily Allen being "hot"
into perspective...."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"Comment

One of the girls is a special needs teacher the other is a Nurse working in Athlone A and EOriginally posted by BANDIT View Post
Mammy is a teacher Daddy is an Army Officer
how can it be neoptism
and the girls are just like every one else
their 3rd level education was free
but at least its something valuable to the community not arts or philosphy
and at least the ladies in question are actually in Ireland
not like some they didnt swan off to warmer climates and get bitter and twistedThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

I stand corrected. Did not see the article so was under the impression from the comments on the board that the two were also officers. Although not resident , u are so right as usual, I am not entitled to any benefits in the country of my birth although still pay tax on property which is more than many of the patriotic bankers , property developers etc who remained have done. I know ARMY PAY paye..
But back to nepotism , it would be interesting to compare the percentage of sons and daughters who apply for cadetships who are successful with the percentage of success of non officer, non army personnel who apply.. different thread perhaps ..
As regards bitter and twisted, well perhaps I just might see things in a different light , perhaps it might do u some good to do the same, maybe u will realize thaqt u are not the oracle of Deplhi or even the Brugha.Comment

Mate I am not even the depth of knowledge in my own house
in the Brugha I am the depth of depravity
Your still entitled to a whole range of benefits befitting a citizenam not entitled to any benefits in the country of my birth although still pay tax on property which is more than many of the patriotic bankers , property developers etc who remained have done
as for the lads not paying taxes- thats a criminal offence- if you forward to me your evidence I will hand it into any Garda Station on your behalf- of you could hand it into any irish Enmbassy or COnsulate- with
the benefits comes responsibilities to report rooting tootin tax evaders.
I do however agree with you- too many young Sirs and Mams are the sons and daughters of old Sirs and MamsThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Probably no bigger a percentage than pte's who follow in family footsteps to join the army to be honest. If one of their parents is an officer then it stands to reason they will know the interview process inside out and be better prepared.I do however agree with you- too many young Sirs and Mams are the sons and daughters of old Sirs and MamsComment
