    Jaysus if this week keeps going downhill the way it's started, Tubridy could be SELLING off the toys by the time we get to Friday night..

    Jaysus Vinny is getting later every night..

    Yeah, pretty pissed off having to wait for that Celebrity thing to finish.
    Dunno what its appeal is.

    Another lovely tie on Vincent, chimes in nicely with the set...

    Aine Kerr is completely out of her depth on all these matters.

    Leave her alone, she's lovely...

    It's hard to tell, she's not very articulate is she?

    I'm seriously starting to get worried.. I have my money with BOI..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,877 ✭✭✭take everything


    Just wondering with all the figures they're bandying about.
    Is this Irish crisis unprecedented worldwide.
    Has there ever been a comparable bust elsewhere?

    christ! Is this for real or are they scaremongering?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon


    I'd say the Department Of Finance will be on to TV3 as we speak..

    Dont worry my father works in the BOI your money is safe up to 100,000


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭telekon


    F8cking hell! For the first time, I think its actually hit me...hard...

    "We're bust".

    Jesus Christ, FF you destroyed our nation.

    Ye should all be locked up for life. Economic treason. B*stards. Absolute scum. :mad::mad:

    They haven't bothered to send anyone out to TV3.

    But yes, this is a worrying and truthful analysis.

    We have to play the Sean Fitzpatrick "Anglo" card... If we fail, then you fail too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    Why are we having to rely on Vincent Browne TV show to get this info?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon

    but what about the other 900k ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 274 ✭✭AOwannabe


    Lately I feel there is a cabal of economists (Brian Lucey, Constantin Gurdgiev, Ronan Lyons et al) who are being far too negative similar to during the boom many people were far too positive.

    Seriously scary stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon


    I think Lucey's point about Cowan and the "cheapest bailout ever" is moot at this stage.. This is the same man (Lenihan) who told us that the state would make money out of saving Anglo.... He has absolutely no credibility at this stage.

    I wasn't watching the show. Can anybody give a quick rundown on what the gist of the points being made were?

    True. That post was inspired partly by exasperation and partly by fear. I feel sick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    If there was ever a strong case for me to leave the country, this is it. I don't want to but jesus, this is bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭bigroad


    I didnt think it was that bad .Emigration big time .These boys think they can fix this.Fair play.

    You know hoe fcukd you thought we were? Well, it's worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,877 ✭✭✭take everything


    Hate to say this but this is scaring me.
    Especially hearing it from the likes of Lucey and Somerville.

    We're fuked... Economist reckon that we need to borrow over 300 billion, at a rate of 6.5% or more.. i.e. 16 Billion interest every year... (i.e. when we already have an Exchequer deficit of 19 Billion)... Sommerville says that it's NOT possible and the people negotiating on behalf of Ireland Inc. need to start playing hardball with EMU/ECB/IMF...
