    Damn it, there's virtually no difference between the words "Ireland" and "Iceland" and yet I can't think of a single clever wordplay.

    Its an awful bad position to be in as a nation who only a few years ago were bigged up from almost every commentator.

    That being said, its not much different to the "austerity measures" we would have to implement anyway, only now all the thorny rose bushes will have to be grasped and the whole country take a good while to get over it.

    Ultimately we still have our rivers, lakes, mountains, coastlines - which I wouldnt swap for the world.
    If this is the point at which the Irish people realise we've a lot of work to do for political and financial reform then so be it. Theres nothing wrong with that in the history of a nation.

    Nothing to worry about, NAMA is the only game in town. Anglo is well capitalised and there will be a soft landing.

    Can we not just have the Brits back? We've proven we can't run our own affairs but it would be better to have a country were we have more in common with culturaly like England than someone like Germany running the state.

    There's even a nice wedding coming up now, it'd be great to have a street party for it.

    Cowen's speech in full:

    *clears throat*

    "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
    Rest your soul and feed your brain.
    That's where you will get to see
    Everything the water can be."

    burp.

    Hello..

    What's going down, Ireland getting new owners then ? At this stage , who ever comes in to run the place cannot do any worse then they goons in there at the moment.

    What's worse a bunch of clue gob****es (what we have now)

    Or a bunch of people who actually know what they are doing...

    Either way both sets of people are defo not about the people regardless, we just think they are about the people at the moment because they are Irish born, but don't be fooled.

    Sign of the times, we need the Germans to come in and turn this badly storm beating off course ship back to dock for some serious repairs.
