Bertie injured after fall from bicycle

An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern T.D., was said to be recovering in hospital last night after falling while cycling around Drumcondra. A spokesman for the stricken leader urged others, especially children, not to follow Mr. Ahern's exercise regime. AA Roadwatch's omnipresent spokesman, Conor Faughnan, concurred, adding that back pedalling furiously in public risks serious injury.

Hot on the heels after brazenly telling the electorate to get stuffed, the Taoiseach suddenly announced an about turn when the extent of the public outrage became apparent. Somehow, the effrontery of the government granting themselves enormous pay rises while simultaneously exhorting the ordinary workers to tighten their belts did not go down well in the trenches.
