Let's not get started on a slagging match, Mr New Jersey.

Hey, at least where we have swamps, we build on 'em anyway.

Yeah, well we get energy from ours. So nyah.

So, "a guttering fireplace" is your national energy program, then?

Hey, it works.

Can't say the same for....well, anything in NJ.

Plenty of stuff works in New Jersey. The Columbo family, the Gambino family, the Gigante family...

Aye, you have a point there, they can be a very useful asset to getting the details of beaurocracy working. I imagine waking up with a horse's head in your bed would encourage people to pay their taxes on time.

In our new spirit of staying on track, maybe Ireland should hire la casa nostra to "send a message" to the EU.

Why not? I've LONG said they should have hired the IRA to take out Bin Laden. Who better?

Set the IRA on the EU? There's an interesting idea.

Yeah, but wouldn't the EU have to take a few guys prisoner first, and then set them on a hunger strike? I thought that's how you have to start up the IRA.

Nah. We have to have an incredibly badly planned uprising that ends up causing lots of collatoral damage to the civilian populace. Then the EU needs to execute all the leaders,which will make the populace turn against them.
Leave for a few years, and voila: one uprising.

Of course. I must have been thinking of Sinn Fein SOP.

Sinn Fein, IRA, same thing...

Well, Gerry liked to deny it.
