Once a gouger, always a gouger

[@thetwonorriespodcast]

Drive on with your negativity and your three subscribers

[@redzercork]

These lads are doing good in many ways Paul. While your comment is your personal view, you should look at the past ones they have done, and see what feeback is being provided. I don't think TDs, College Lecturers, The Irish President, group leaders, Legendary Singers, or business people would give their time or put their name to support 2 Gougers, unless good was being done.

[@cabbage221]

Everyone desires a chance in life, don't judge until you have walked a mile in his shoes , when you get lost in childhood and manage to turn your life around , it's called a miracle .
