    Another economic boom (from the 90's) or another credit boom (from the 00's)?

    This will be a very short lived boom considering that Europe is teetering on the brink of recession and that's even before Brexit has fully kicked in.

    Boom 2.0? It’s been boom to bust to boom again and so on, from the time of the dinosaurs. And it will continue until we stop using money.

    I can see a lot of cranes around Dublin that might indicate a boom, but are we eating as many chicken fillet rolls as we did just over a decade ago? That will really tell us if we are full on back in the noon cycle again

    Is it a boom or just construction in Dublin catching up after nothing being done during the recession?

    For teh moment banks seem to made keep a tight rein in large lending

    However I've read several articles that personal debt as in small loans and in particular PCP finance on cars is enough to cause another fairly large recession in the UK

    Given how popular PCP is here it might not be much different

    second the above re pcps and personal loans. with the the central bank rules on mortgage finance the banks had to find other loans to sell(PCP,personal loans,)
    i foresee another universal social charge to pay for the bailed out banks that lost billions lending money to gobdaws so they could own a chromebook for just 4 euro a week

    Was out with friends having a few pints in Ranelagh at the weekend and one of them wanted to check out the new hotel bar, the Devlin. Four of us head down only to be told that the bar is 'booked out' and that there's a waiting list for it.

    WE'RE BACK BABY!

    The one for me living in a rural area is the massive amounts of people I know are hardly making 400 a week after tax driving around in a new BMW, Audi or Mercedes every 2 years it's feckin unreal

    Have you noticed they put more effort into their lunch than actual work?

    Give me the glory boys of the 90/00s breckfast rolls galore. Or better still the liquid lunch lads from the 70/80s those are the lads could citys for ya.

    I've said it before - the obesity epidemic is a thing of the 2000s and has long passed.
