    I believe the yanks have names for some of their previous Recessions and got me thinking, what would we call ours?

    The Fianna Fail Recession? The Housing Bubble Recession? Or just the 2008 Recession (boring)?

    Most inventive idea shall receive 1 x Thanks from me.

    The one where English people move to Ireland because they are sick of other English people bitching about the recession and can put up with Irish people giving out about it but not actually giving a crap about it.
