    I am just as satisfied now as I was in 1998.

    is this not out of context to Ireland's financial situation today? That video clip is from before we joined the ECU.

    It's amazing that they seemed to suggest we were growing too fast and would have too many jobs with nobody to fill them, as if they somehow thought that not in a million years would foreigners ever dream of coming en masse to Ireland to work!

    I'll never forget how odd I thought it was on a school trip to London in mid 2000 that all the KFC staff were Chinese, as up until then I had never seen a Chinese person work anywhere bar a Chinese take away (bar maybe doctors), I was wondering if the stuff might taste a bit funny with whatever tinkreing they might do to it :p (I'm no fan of Chinese takeaway crap like)

    Too little growth = bad. Too much = bad

    I think the economy must be on the rag or something
