As if by magic I got this just now from BOI:

Check yourself the interest rate so to speak.

I take out a lifeloan in 2005 to give my children money for deposits on houses. Their houses are flying up in value. Am I missing something?

Yeah.

They would have bought at very close to the top of the market.

Fifteen years later I'd say they're just about out of negative equity at best.

Yeah schools are open. There were 6 cases detected in Shanghai on Friday and they had an immediate local lockdown. None of your "From Midnight on thursday" guff Mehole Martin announces. An immediate lockdown starts now. Also, they had forced hotel quaratining of people arriving into the country as early as last March.

We are only talking about it now.

Probably the Chinese way isn't a great example to follow, or maybe it is... but I've allways found a kind of "cant do" attitude here rather than a "can do" attitude. If the Irish had lived in the Netherlands it'd all be underwater now, or I can't see us like the Berliners after the war building an airport allmost out of nothing to get supplies in or even the British surviving the blitz with their can-do stiff upper lip. I find when you ask someone to do a job for you here half the time they end up telling me it can't be done an I end up doing it myself

Comes from the attitude " That's not on my job. ".

Lols .. so true this !
I notice it esp with Polish folk in Ireland. They have something that amounts to a work ethic compared with us lot.

We are left well behind in the dust

I think Americans like our "ah shure you'll be grand .... " attitude tho.
Feckless like
So there is that ....

All these youngsters at 65 that Joe now thinks need help making a pretty basic financial decision. Still cant figure out when a youngster becomes a petal.

Betya Andy from yesterday didnt take out a Lifetime Loan. Would have been good to have him back on today for his opinion. Work of tbe devil, so to speak.

Now that Joe is in tbat age group maybe he might consider a Lifetime Loan to ease him through his retirement given his retirement portfolio has been wiped out not once but twice. So unfortunate he is given that at least this time tbe stock market and investments have pretty much kept their value. Such an unfortunate working class hero.

At least he has a new book fro. Today - The Childer of the Dispossesed Petals by the bad bad Bankers (Working For Very Reputable Companies).

3 solid shows in a row and 3 different producers. Sian O Gorman produced today.

Spanish Eyes · 28-01-2021 12:01AM

Joey seems to be moving away from mudder/baby homes and death and misery guts for a while.

He is just having a breakeen I suppose for his mental health. Forget about the listeners they don't count.

Irony is most listeners love a bit of a spat like the gutterwoman and dat. Will he ever realise that this show should be engaging and entertaining and get people shaking their fists at the radio!

No, you're dead right. My mother used to say if the Dutch lived in Ireland they would feed the rest of Europe.

In China when the government tells you to wear a mask, everyone wears a mask. I even saw people wearing masks in Shanghai two years ago, a hangover from SARS and tbh I'll continue to wear my face gaiter on public transport even after things return to normal.

My sister works in retail here and has heard every excuse under the sun for not wearing a mask. Some things she's been told:

"It's against my religion"
"Sure its not a pandemic, its a scamdemic"
"I left the mask in the car. I'm only buying a bath mat, I'll be 2 minutes"
"You cant make me wear one as it infringes on my civil liberties"

My father says if you want to do anything in Ireland a committee immediately forms to stop it.

You saw similar behaviour in the UK when they got the snow. Hundreds flocked to some hill somewhere to go sledding and Sky news were interviewing people asking why they thought it was safe and there was a bit where a girl said it was important for their mental health and they were social distancing, and as she said it, a guy walked past her within a foot of her. Just walked past while she was on air.

Holidays

BOI loans.

Today:

People complaining about people going to Lanzagrotty during the pandemic

An Irish doctor experienced more stringent checks leaving Oz than he did arriving in Ireland.

Lifeloans. Joe didn't get BOI closed down yesterday, but maybe today

dvcireland · 28-01-2021 12:44PM

1) Holiers, Lanzasnotti, i'm worth it.
2) Life loan, treat yourself to a new SUV, conservatory, trip to a country you cannot pick out on a map

Has he found more people who arrived back from 20 years of their parental funded back packing tour around Oz and the Costa Del Sol to spend the rest of their inheritance only to find that maw n paw's gaff didn't snuff it but their Gaff is being called in by the bank and it's all over before their self isolation is over?

But sure Lanzarotte is an island, the virus can't get there.

Next time I go to Lanzarote I want to head here:

No whackers or salta deerts here, accommodation is simple & classy and it's all about the sparkling water and the walking. Easy bus from airport to port, changing in Arrecife, frequent ferries.

I'll tell ya something about Beijing Airport. 3 people in our group were smokers and had brought lighters on board all the way from Dublin, through London, to Beijing. Boarding the internal flight to Shanghai these 3 people were called forward because lighters were spotted in the scan of their checked luggage. These had to be removed and they got a lecture on just how dangerous it was to be packing lighters in luggage. These sane lighters had not come to anybody's attention at either Dublin or London, and on thinking about it the smokers vowed never to attempt to pack them again.

Back in the day there used to be novelty type cigarette lighters that were made in the shape of a little gun. If any of those were still around and found in baggage, it would cause a serious loosening of the bowels of the security people.:eek:

PS, it's pronounced like "wudge"
