    Ok I get you now :) I thought you meant something along the lines of I cant BARE it or something.
    I'd say at this point, I can see myself removing all my savings from the bank and hiding them under the mattress.. when get paid, remove it all and do the same.

    And you'd be right too ...

    I wonder what would have become of the country if the then government had decided not to guarantee deposits/bailout the banks....
    Probably all 3 credit rating agencies would have us as junk status... amazing how things can go from boom to bust in such a short time.

    No, in Ireland everything gets more expensive in a recession.

    i bet the black market can sell us dangerous bootlegged guiness and budweiser cheap... might go blind though but the money you save can go towards buying a guide dog

    All this nonsense of jobs being created here, there and everywhere in between.. austerity being the answer to everything and that we are a great example to europe.
    Load of ****e.
    I'd say we are in the ****ter again


    Dont worry about it........Enda Kenny doesnt give a hoot....he never did.As long as he and all his "buddies" are all kept in their nice cushy jobs then thats all that matters.


    Banks given more powers today to harrass and bully people in mortgage distress and 3 months before a persons house can be taken off them.



    But hey,remember what Enda told us all in his address to the nation????




    "you were not to blame"

    honestly these economists are ****ing idiots, consumer spending makes up a significant percentage of the economy so why do they tell people [thats a rhetorical question I already know the answser btw] so that when the public hear it they spend less, and so making the situation even worse.

    ITS A ****ING FIRESALE

    The thing is, this country would 100 times better if we could for once have a proper government which dont talk bo33ocks 7 days a week.
    I thought they said we would outgrow any other Eurozone nation this year? or was it the next - cant remember.
    Honestly I couldnt give a ****e that the EU is pissed at these Anglo clowns as its us who have to deal with it in the long run.

    ****ING STUPID ***** THE LOT OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the solution is to increase ****? increase my ****in wages then as well ye *****

    I preferred the processions in the older days. The priest walking down the town with his clown suit on and some little lad behind carrying a big heavy looking golden thingy. All the holy people walking behind singing glorious hymns. It really was one of the highlights for all of us little boney arsed bogmen. All the statues of Jesus and Mary, draped in rosary beads outside every second house. Them were the days people. Oh ye and the sun always shone.

    Is it a surprise really?,taking money out of the economy to help grow the economy.At the moment we're in my opinion just about in line to help grow our economy in terms of the cuts that have been made (we could probably hit income tax a little harder rather than hitting out numerous stealth taxes,but that's for another day),now is the time for investment.Buy low,aim high.

    Look on the bright side, at least the ECB will keep interest rates as they are seeing as we are back in recession.

    The banks now have the powers (as of today) to force people off trackers...if they are in mortgage distress.


    I wonder how Joan Burton and Enda Kenny will feel with having to rehome all the people that are going to lose their homes because of the fcukwhits in the banks being given even more powers and forcing people from their homes.

    Never got these austerity measures anyway. The government take more money off me so i have less to spend in the shops so they shops earn less and pay less tax, they also employ less people so no tax there just more people on benefits :rolleyes: give us our money back to spend and we'll pay more taxes and so get out of the dip. Common sense??
