Pity he didn't take a serious look at the way things were going when he decided to start living beyond his means.

We dont need your life story just get to the point.

europa11

Does he think his story is somehow unique?

Bits_n_Bobs

Good man James, you should have followed up with "Where's my NAMA?"

First thing he said to the banks was "howya budeez"

Itssoeasy

It's a shame that no one told James to go do one.

JonathanAnon

There's a happy ending to this. By the time James' story finishes, Ireland is in the middle of another property boom..

neris

James is a bit thick thinking the bank would let him off the money he owes when he sold the house.

Ciaran_B

It’s not your house James.

IvyTheTerrible

He has nothing. So how did he afford to go to England to start bankruptcy proceedings?

(Nice bit of latent sexism there...he's talking to "Mrs" banker who is not the decision maker, and tells her to talk to "Mr" banker upstairs. Ugh)

Joe would have got through 10 other people by now. Very inefficient use of the national airways here!

Itssoeasy

"The house is there." Says James

Well the house hardly got up and left its foundations James. Wait he's in London ?

neris

and i thought james was in luton waiting for a flight to dublin and was angry he couldnt get a bus at the airport. 15 minutes later and hes still waffling on

Bits_n_Bobs

Fecking brits and their forgiveness of debts! Not christian so it isn't. The sinners must repent!!!!!

PauloMN

Much as he's been daft to get into this situation, he does have a point in so far as you can't get blood from a stone. Surely it's better to get something from him than nothing (which would seem to be the case now).

JonathanAnon

He cant compare himself to those British entrepreneurs who went bankrupt.. They had failed business ventures... He just bought a house that he couldnt afford, he wasnt creating anything..
