    At 5pm today, the EMF are going to take over Ireland & the EU are going to get their balls out for Brian Cowen.

    It's unbelievable.

    Cowen is a chancer
    He's a source of panic
    You can feel it in the air

    Uh oh it's the panic
    Uh oh, you can feel it in the air
    Uh oh it's the panic
    uh oo, oh oh, oh oh

    I think this is where Cowen reminds all of the auditors from the EU and IMF that they are all 'mathematically challenged'.

    I'd rather the likes of some German eurocrat run the country than those gob****es in the Dail any day.

    Let them come in and slash numbers in parliament, let them abolish the Seanad. Could do a bit of good :)

    If we (or they, as in the Government) actually take this €80 billion bailout and lose our economic sovereignty to the EU/IMF, what's gonna happen? Does anyone have an idea of what sort of fiscal adjustments we can expect from the big boys in Europe?

    They are still in denial. A state of shock. Paralysed from doing anything. In their own mind they dont believe it themselves never mind telling the rest of us mere mortals.

    They are are the equivalent of a person who has just been sectioned.
