We all know that Christmas is all about the fat guy in the red suit with the kind of rapid transport commuters the world over would love, but it is also a time for old fashioned hope, gentle smiles, forgiveness and love. I wish each of you, A Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Healthy 2026.

Putin's celebrations at the election of President Trump is being heard in every corner of this world. Joe McCarthy, JFK, Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II with some many others who strived to fight communism have been betrayed by Trump and his psycophants. Putin is the master and Trump his puppet.

JD Vance and his recent speech showed his inability to form cogent thoughts. He is a pus wridden wart on the face of Ohio and USA. He has been elected to a position that will prove to be his undoing, stupid and unethical people fall from the positions they acquired through the ineptness of others.

To all Man Utd fans please keep the faith, two mediocre sigings for the defence, allied to a bumbling inadequate coach. Millions flushed down the toilet on a left back from Leece that nobody else wanted. When will we get a real man manager in charge?

Jarlath Burns on the Late Late show was filled with arrogance, pomposity, wrapped in a layer of nastiness that showed why a great game like Hurling should now be divorced from GAA football. If he represents GAA leadership then it really is a below average amateur body

The world just became a shade darker with the death of the last member of the Holy Trinity. Denis Law was probably the greatest footballer that Scotland ever produced and with Charlton and Best formed the greatest partnership ever to grace world football. May He Rest in Peace.

Now that Trump's big day approaches it is a happy day for us, Irish and Europeans in general. Nobody in their right mind will invest in America run by Trump and Musk. The EU is the largest single market and as Inflation/Tarrifs/Taxes increase the natural home for US money is Europe. Happy days!!!!!

The final announcement of the new presenters for Match of the Day is the final nail in the coffin for this once great show that has given us so much. The three presenters are okay in their own right but they are not footballers, they have football DNA but they do not have the Jimmy Hill gravitas

I do not like Sadiq Khan but he has been elected three times by Londoners and that is a Real achievement. The hatred dominating the UK media is unworthy and disturbing. They wonder why circulation is dropping.

Read three private equity reports for next 12 months and the consensus is that reduce USA exposure before 20th Jan and invest in commodities, European stocks and Australasia. Wait for the crash across the Pond and then buy cheap Amercian assets. The reports were written by 3 US banks.

Man Utd are at the lowest point in years, beaten again and their Best players in the stands or sold on to satisfy mediocre coaches but this one is the very worst. Please send him back to Portugal and get a manger not a coach who are plentiful, great managers are however made of sterner stuff.

I wish to add my condolences to the family of President Jimmy Carter, he believed in peace and the goodwill to be enjoyed by all when you offer a hand of peace. He laid the foundation for the Reagan years and the same belief they had in America. Pity those days will lost forever under President Musk
December 31, 2024 at 12:43 AM
Things we know will happen in 2025,
1. Pres Musk will take power in Jan
2. Rachel Reeves will be sacked
3. EU will move into period of greater sustained growth
4. UK growth will be in negative for 2025
5. Ireland will move into first stage of reunification
6. M McGuinness will win the Aras.

On this Christmas morning please take a moment to say a prayer for those whose troubles are great. May you enjoy many great memories on this glorious day. Hope the fat guy in the red suit was good to you. Merry Christmas to both friend and foe.
