Well, it took yonks, but my Star ‘Celtic Tiger Crash Playing Cards’ finally arrived today. They’re excellent.
The deck includes two Jokers. They are the former Financial Regulator, Patrick Neary. Along with the wise Neary, John Hurley, former Governor of the Central Bank, also features.
In 2020, I’ll post my ebay details here on Come Here To Me.
Any idea if the Star are offering these for sale generally?
I don’t think so PL, they would be a huge hit this Christmas had they done so. Their ‘Said And Buried: Life and Death of the Tiger in Quotes’ freebie book last week was decent too.
Funny, you buy a paper for the freebies and don’t even open it.
Ah man, mostly these were just populist – a little bit of anger directed at the bankers, a little bit of hilariously out of touch commentary from the celebrities – not forgetting a great tit shot (if you are into that kind of thing) of that one model with the quote about the right to earn money. Conservatism masquerading as a working man’s radicalism if you are honest about it. They are on sale in newsagents as well.
Reddy, they were COMPLETELY populist! Think it was the same newspaper that told FEE and the student protesters to “get a life” after November 3.
