I had you down for being related to Muppet what with the dazzling ability you both share to
know pretty much all there is to know about everything... but due to recent events  ::) I'm now not so sure  ;D

To a 4 year old and 8 year pretty much knows all there is to know.
True....but as adults, we understand that no one knows everything,
Apparently you two didn't get that memo :-\

You repeat this ad nauseum despite being the first to cheer and post smilies whenever I admit I am wrong.

Playing on the team with the extra player on astro when an odd number of players show up. A right pain in the hole. Inevitably go 4 goals down quickly as everyone looks to someone else to do the work and arguments ensue.

We just make the team with the extra man play two touch, if the teams are roughly equal there usually isn't much in it.

Independent TDs in the Dail chamber dressed like tramps.  And now something's being done about it - proper order!

QuoteDail dress code plans 'pathetic'

Friday, 8 July 2011

Proposed new rules forcing TDs to dress smartly in the Dail chamber or face being thrown out have been branded pathetic.

A Dail watchdog has recommended male deputies wear a tailored jacket, collared-shirt and trousers, while women are slightly less restricted in being banned simply from wearing jeans.

Independent TDs Mick Wallace and Luke "Ming" Flanagan, and People Before Profit's Richard Boyd-Barrett will be among those most likely to be affected by the new dress code.

Mr Boyd-Barrett would not be drawn on whether he would abide by the new rules. "It's pathetic and further evidence that we have a Government of clowns," said the Dun Laoghaire TD.

"The country is drowning in debt, we have half a million people unemployed, we have people facing the loss of their homes and cuts to the most vulnerable, and these clowns are wondering what people wear in the Dail. It's pathetic."

Mr Boyd-Barrett often wears jeans in the Dail chamber and shirts not tucked in, while Mr Flanagan wears his shirts buttoned up to the neck and out over his trousers. Wexford TD Mick Wallace brings a dash of colour to the chamber with his trademark pink shirts. None of the men wear formal jackets.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams often takes Leaders' Questions without a jacket and with his sleeves rolled up.

The rules were decided by the Dail's Committee on Procedures and Privileges, which also banned calls to premium-rate numbers from Leinster House telephones following the "Ring of Kerry" controversy.

It is understood Ceann Comhairle Sean Barrett, who chairs the committee, was driving the issue, but just one TD dissented out of the 10-strong membership.

Independent Catherine Murphy said: "There was a very strict dress code in Anglo Irish Bank. Dress codes don't necessarily mean people do things with the right motivation."
