    Only for retiring politicans and their cronies. For a mere mortal like me, it's going to be a tough year ahead.

    Recession is mild. We are now going into a deep depression. We're going down.

    Considering the crowds I saw on Grafton St yesterday and in Blachardstown today, I'd say YES! Spend you crazy fools, SPEND!

    So the recession is over, but the Rapture begins...

    Talk hasn't died down it's just that all this recession sh*t has been moved elsewhere, thankfully!

    I think the recession is probably frozen...

    It might take a few days to thaw out...

    Phase two of the recession began on the 7th December 2010 when the IMF/EU bailout was signed. Phase three will kick in as soon as we default :eek:

    I think you're mixing up the recession with the snow.

    the snow killed it, or at least gave the media more stuff to sensationilise about
    to take our minds off it.

    The only "things" looking up in Ireland are homeless people asking for money.

    i'm very interested in this stuff......but correct me if i am wrong but doesn't everything seem "grand" or "ok" (whatever words you want to use) because the media are reporting on the snow.......

    it's like a recession that's only on the news......

    obviously i know it isn't like that, but even so...just a thought, hope not to offend anyone with money troubles.

    Technically it's been over for a while... but then technically we're also probably double-dipped back into it for a couple of months now.
