The Top Ten Reasons to be Grateful that the country is falling apart

As the country stumbles from crisis to crisis (and with thanks to the legend that is David Letterman for his most simplest of ideas) here is my top ten reasons to be grateful that the country is falling apart:



10. With the demise of the building trade we wont be subjected to more Breakfast Roll ditties

9. If we have no money to spend Eddie Hobbs wont be on TV telling us how best to spend it

8. We can tell the taxi drivers how bad things are rather than the other way around

7. We can go back to ordering plain old coffee rather than americanos

6. RTE will have to cut back on one of the Seoiges

5. The Irish Times will be sold on the street and the Big Issues will be the paper of record

4. Second homes will be mobile and in Kilkee, not villas in the med

3. They'll have to bring back happy hours in pubs since everyone is so depressed

2. Angela's Ashes wont be as depressing to read (0k that's probably a push)



and the number one reason to be grateful that the country is falling apart is ...



1. We can start taking the Eurovision seriously again
