1. The Taoiseach is appearing at a Tribunal of Inquiry into 'planning' deals in Dublin in the 1980/90's. He has readily admitted that a businessman passed him a brief case full of cash amounting to somewhere between 30K and 50K. There is uproar. Not because he got the money, but because they can't agree if it was in punts, dollars or sterling.
2. One of our top soccer players is flown home from duty in Slovakia on a private jet, having informed his manager that his Granny has died. The manager hears later that the Gran is, thankfully, very much alive. He calls player for clarification, who tells him that it was the other Granny. OK says the Gaffer and then hears a day later that the other Granny is alive and well in London.
The lad had a genuine reason to get home, but why did he kill off both his Grandmothers?
I love this country.
