Oh they don't have that much competence. They will lend someone the money to buy it. We will buy the oil back from these people. Then when they've siphoned off all the profits, they will default on the payment. The government will then take the debt on board and have to borrow more from the ECB and the IMF. They will tell us that the Troica have insisted they do it this way to cover existing debt.
The Greeks you will have noticed, had the brains not to go looking for oil whilst they are trying to get as much debt as possible written off.
So I suggest we all bend over and prepare to take some more German sausage up the bum!
You realise that the Special Branch of the Beefeaters will be raiding your house at 6 am and this time tomorrow you will be in the Tower of London awaiting execution for treason.
'The Wreck of the Titan' is a small 1898 novel written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later.
If I was younger and unemployed I would do it. Apart from the good it would do, the work experience would be of value later on in life. Not all rewards of course are financial.
Hi Scribs. Did McGuiness not claim to have evidence of money changing hands and the name of the person who gave it. I'll grant you Gallagher didn't do himself any favours talking about sealed envelopes.
I take it that this is in light of the fake tweet which wrecked yer man's chances of becoming president.
I have no bias here being a non Irish national so I wouldn't have any ideas about the personalities involved.....BUT.....I remember thinking at the time that the decision had been made in the early stages that Michael D. Higgins was to win and that anyone threatening that position would be discredited.
Initially David Norris was streets ahead so the dredged up an incident from his past and had that not worked, I'm sure they had plenty more to hand.
Then when Seán Gallagher was streets ahead of everyone the fake tweet was announced and Sean's chances scuppered.
I still remember the smug look on Martin McGuinness's face which is a shame as I was starting to warm towards him having been told by the BBC that he was the enemy since 1969.
What it does tell me is that Adams, McGuinness et al will do anything for power including subverting democracy and that is not good news for Ireland in these troubled times. We badly need some real statesmen.
The sad thing here in the aftermath has been the quality of our politicians. Instructions have ceased to come out of Europe and the Hague and are coming directly from Berlin where the German government gets to see our national budget before we do. Our politicians all but inform us that we are not fit to run this country ourselves which makes you wonder why they pay themselves the highest salaries in Europe.
Our Prime Minister recently made a statement in the USA basically saying it was all our own fault. Whilst other EU premiers stand up and fight for their own country's interests, ours go cap in hand to Europe saying Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir representing un secured German bondholders to whom we shall pay € 3.1 billion at the end of this month whilst we continue to stifle our own ecconomy and take money from the poorest members of society and closing hospital beds in the process.
It was announced this week that the Greeks are to keep recieving their bailout in spite of defaulting on their debts but we are told that if we default, we will be thrown out of the Eurozone.
Iceland has taken it's former Prime Minister to court over this same thing and has now returned to the financial markets having burned their bondholders 2 years ago. Needless to say, not a single person in Ireland has been brought to account for the position we find ourselves in.
We have some fine minds and great economists in this country, but nobody will listen to them.
Soon we are to vote on a closer integrated Europe. Again we are being threatened about what will happen if we vote No! But being the laughing stock of Europe, just like the previous Lisbon and Nice treaties we will be told to vote and vote again till we give them the result they want.
I know. It's infuriating. Certain people sign up and you know they have no intention of attending and some of them would be regular enough posters. Some of these always book to attend and you know that great Auntie Jessie is going to pop her clogs again the day before the meet.
Others are from a different country and there's no feesible way they would be attending. It's worse if a venue has actually been booked or activities have been arranged. It's beyond me how adults can behave in this way. The palefaces...well no great surprise there. It would be tempting to mail them all though.
I don't see Canada, New Zealand, Australia, UK, Ireland etc being invaded nor people subverted and they do not carry arms, concealed or otherwise. To the rest of the world I'm afraid we regard this to be madness.
Why not? Israel was allowed to. The fact is that the west has never attacked a country with nuclear technology. Seems a good reason to me to have them.
I wonder how many of the alcohol induced assaults that happen regularly in the home or after the pubs come out would become murders if people carried concealed weapons in European countries.
Statistically I'm told that the US is one of the most if not the most violent country in the western world and they have 'The right to bare arms.' That speaks volumes to me. I wouldn't like to see that here.
Brings back memories of cutting holes in door cards and back parcel shelves as a kid to fit 4 ohm speakers. Then Audioline started doing some more powerful stuff and bigger speakers. Happy days.
You can buy a converter that fits into that little black block in the car to match it up with your new stereo assuming we're not talking about an old AM radio. What make is the stereo.
I've gpt an 06 Mondeo with the SONY 6 CD system....infact I have a spare one and both have the code on them on a sticker. Ask who ever services your car to pop it out. It will take 2 minutes. Failing that you can buy the removal tool for €5 at Halfords. I'd be surprised to be honest if the lads at Halfords wouldn't whip it out for you (the radio) to get the code.
I think many of the folk who traditionally attended meets have left. There were only about 6 of us at Waterford. Cork was the last busy meet and even that wasn't half as busy as the Cork meet before.
