    before Ireland really goes broke? Considering nobody seems to have any money left to spend and doubt we'll be getting baled out by anyone ever again thanks to the f**kwits in Anglo Irish.

    Not sure what you mean exactly but I've been down to the bones of me arse for the last 5 years.

    A tax on rant threads perhaps might save the economy?

    We'll be OK until the grim reaper himself appears looking for his pound of flesh. . .

    Ah ****.

    I'm getting the vibe there's no money left, won't be long before there's not enough to pay social welfare and wages for government , Gardai etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I invested in some Pumpkin stock.

    Should be peaking any day now!

    Money only has value because people agree it carries a value upon it. I say we all suddenly recognise Monopoly money as having financial value in lieu of this 'Euro' . Problem solved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,042 ✭✭✭Grimreaper666


    My financial adviser reckons guns and beans are the only thing worth investing in now.

    Bring back pogs as currency! I still have loads under the bed, I'll be the richest man around.

    I think that Ireland is a very corrupt country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,352 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Believe me, there are plenty of people still well off in Ireland.

    When the bond bubble bursts there'll be no wealth in this country at all,everybody will be at zero.(not in a fight club way,but in a holy crap how will i feed my family way.)

    More corrupt than I could ever have imagined and things are about to get a whole lot worse. Wait till the Anglo tapes start to unfold in the next few hours and see who's involved! You couldn't make the stuff up. Pretty scary really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,308 ✭✭✭downonthefarm


    i work all week and hand up my wages to wifey,once kids are fed and watered and happy couldnt care less about it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,352 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    If the bond bubble bursts then it won't just be Ireland that will struggle.

    Don't have kids myself,but i couldn't give a toss about excess anymore.I used to in my younger days change mobile phones every month,spend 200 quid on nights out etc etc.But these days,give me a few cans and a little mary jane in a warm house on a Friday and i'm as happy as a pig in shite.

    No but then it'll be everyman (country) for himself,bye bye E.U bye bye financial security.

    I never thought it was this corrupt, obviously i knew it went on but not at this extent.

    To be honest i don't think the whole monetary system works very well but there is no alternative that i know of anyway. This kind of thing is just going to happen again and again, the best thing to do is become greedy and evil and try to join these people who do wrong.

    The real problem is Ireland as a country has no wealth and probably won't be able to borrow anymore. The government's solution is to up taxes again and again to pay for all the f**kups and bad management. Trouble is there's no money left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,352 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Couldn't agree more.

    People buy and want too much 'stuff'. Just look around your home and see how much you have spent wasted on 'stuff'.

    I used to drink a bottle of my local restaurants best champagne every other day, my taste buds are tickled only by cheap and measly cans these days. My steaks are now deli-style ham slices and I'd be lucky to get 4 spuds in during the week. The list goes on... this is the reality in which we live in today unfortunately.

    Lads, I thought we had been through the worst of this recession ****e? I mean with 400,000 on the dole and according to the paper the majority are now long term unemployed:eek: plus with all the young people emigrating. Surely things can only get better?

    I have a right pain in my bolix having no money now:mad::mad:

    Be prepared for much more austerity, much tougher times that will last for much longer and far less money to spend. Just saying like..........

    It's becoming a lot clearer now that FF and FG were very aware of what was going on in Anglo and both FF and FG were and still are and have vested interests in Anglo and that's the real reason Anglo were baled.
