    WTF is the LOL for at the start of your post OP?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭Sticky_Fingers


    Fooking hell, we must be in dire straits if Lativa is passing round the donation bucket on our behalf. It wasn't too long ago that they had to go to the IMF themselves for an ol' dig out.

    Thanks guys, we need all the help we can get:o

    Come to think of it, it's about time Ethiopia paid us back and all! :mad:

    The IMF (welcome to Ireland by the way) rank Latvia 56th in its list of countries by GDP on 14,291. Ireland is (haha) ranked 9th on 38,685.

    It's already on the way. Brian Cowen just needs to wire over $4,000 for administration fees and photocopy of his passport.

    the could ring up the gov and say:-

    "right, we're not supposed to tell anyone this but theres these IMF guys... what? oh, IMF stands for 'I'm Majorly Fcuked' haha, but they'll just give you a sh1tload of cash, I mean billions, and all you have to do is sack a few nurses or teachers or something, and pay it back when or if you can"

    Yeah, let's be nice and let them off with a bill for only 1 billion euro.

    EDIT: that's all asylum seekers, sorry. let's just charge the Nigerians half a billion.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭sollar


    Yeah i think we are not in a position to laugh at anyone.

    We consistantly voted in 'expert pot hole fixers' that eventually ran our country into the ground. Wasted the best opportunity we had to make something of ourselves since independance.

    The sad thing is that the only credit we got was for the so called celtic tiger. But the rest of the world now knows that was largely a fallacy :o

    He/she laughs out loud and then gets to work. Seems like a healthy thing to do.

    How embarrassing. Even the Eastern Europeans have more money than us. What will the neighbours say?
