My sister and mother were Just asking me there about the banks while watching Prime Time, now they dont know much about all this but they are thinking of taking there money out of the banks before all this goes bust and i think a lot of other people are thinking the same after hearing the stark commentary on today's events.

That'll help. If you continue to scaremonger like that, it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You tell people a bank will collapse without any real evidence or inside information and then people will withdraw money and make the bank collapse.

Tomorrow won't be "Black Wednesday". And this time tomorrow when you're wrong, you'll continue to scaremonger with "Black Thursday"..and it'll just keep going on and on.

Tomorrow is going to be very interesting indeed, black wednesday perhaps.

So hypothetically speaking, say this doesn't happen. How many days will it take you to admit you were wrong and that you shouldn't have created this sensationalist thread?

Oh and just announced, EU to extend bank guarantee scheme.

JONJO THE MISER · 07-09-2010 10:41PM

Thats right nothing to see here, move along now.

The scheme, which guarantees the banks' corporate deposits, interbank loans,

In fairness, thats what really matters, a couple of lads taking the daily max out of an ATM (LOL) doesn't worry the banks, the corparate finance is what's important and it's no shock that this is what is being highlighted

Aren't 'always was' and 'always has been' the same thing?

The same goes for this thread Jonjo, only the people viewing this one are all wearing white coats, and are just preparing your medication.:eek:

Couldn't be further from the truth, but you definitely are a wannabe David Mc Williams.

I have looked at the thread on politics.ie and its just what I expected and typical of what you'd find over there. Keyboard economists who think they know what international banking is all about, but they really haven't a clue. They are the most dangerous. Unmoderated and stoking up a frenzy, this is the main disadvantage on the new media.

Ireland cannot collapse because it owes too much money to British and German banks. We don't pay them, we take them out too.

Nothing on Vinnie Brown about this.

squod · 07-09-2010 11:20PM

This has been done to death IMO.

theg81der · 07-09-2010 11:32PM

So batteries, candles, canned foods.....anything else? I beieve you OP, was just thinking the same thing myself. On the slim chance that the $hit hits the fan might be wise to be prepared.

As someone pointed out earlier it has a lot to do with confidence and after prime time tonight we might find a run on banks tomorrow, its plausable, its not scare mongering. Who can say what would happen after that

In fairness Argentina is far from a dump, its one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Their whole border with Chile is dominated by the peaks of the Andes mountains. They have the Moreno glacier, one of the world's most spectacular. Both Killer whales and humpbacks breed on their Atlantic shores. Tango was conceived in Buenos Aires and its where you'll also find some of the world's best steak houses and barbequed Patagonian lamb, a local speciality.

No I'd say Argentina isn't all that bad. On the other hand, Athlone, where you are,now that's a dump.

We really should make a NAMA forum and move all these toxic threads to.

dan719 · 08-09-2010 12:27AM

If Prime Time manages to instigate a run on the banks, I hope someone blows up Donnybrook. All deposits are guarenteed! By the taxpayer! Don't bring that liability into effect. We'll all end up paying for it!

if financial Armageddon comes

Seanie will still be living in his Greystones mansion , when not in his Spanish villa, living off his Anglo pension - oh sorry transferred to his wife

David Drumm will still be in exile in his Massachutes mansion , living off his Anglo pension - oh sorry transferred to his wife - and possibly his pending windfall from suing the state for stress

Fingers will still be living in his Shankhill mansion , when not in his Spanish villa, living off his Nationwide pension - oh sorry transferred to his wife - and will also have the backup of his 1 million bonus , that he promised to return 2 years ago

Ruu_Old · 08-09-2010 12:42AM

No worries, I am all stocked up on iodine tablets!

Mr Benevolent · 08-09-2010 12:45AM

I don't give a flying fuck about Fitzpatrick or Drumm. I do give a shit about where the country is now. Yes, they were corrupt, but everyone who bought a house or maxed out their credit card during the boom has some responsibility for this mess. I maxed out mine many times.

JonJoeDali · 08-09-2010 12:51AM

Commissioner Gordon has just phoned Batwoman over on Tara Street.

people who bought a house are responsible ???

Fitzpatrick, Fingleton, Drumm and a very small select chosen few created this mess, and became very rich doing so
