    last time I was called insane it was for mentioning a property bubble in spring 2006.

    I had read an article about AIB selling their bankcentre premsis in ballsbridge (at a time when property in Ballsbridge was the most expensive in the world according to the freefall doc.) in a deal where they rent it for 10 years before having the option to buy it back.

    Having worked for AIB and having personally known some of the executives there I felt that they were clever enough not take such a gamble without being aware of the risks. from that I knew that AIB were confident that property was going to crash, and that in 2016 they will make a killing buying back their HQ at a knockdown normal price.

    The public sector don't take to the street because they know they have cosy, overpaid jobs. When their jobs are rightly threatened however, it's a different story.

    big time, i was on a contract a while back in a certain semi state company, i was amazed at the salaries being advertised for the jobs and even more amazed at the employees who were getting the jobs, laid back and couldn't give a damn if not quite stupid people, amazing but hey i guess they played the game and won!!
