RE: EU FORUM PARTY TONIGHT

Ok, tonight I'll be devoted to you

RE: EU FORUM PARTY TONIGHT

Only if I wear the tutu..

Famous people from your home/host city...

It's ok to mention the name lilly really, I wont be offended ..

Talking of Man United and famous Belfast people..I left out Norman Whiteside. Norman is famous for the 1982 world cup in Spain where he became the youngest player to play in a world cup breaking Pele's record.

Belfast also has some other famous people. There was a 'Hard Man' called Buck Alec. Now Buck was famous for lots of reasons. He loved a good tear up, rubbed shoulders with Al Capone in prohibition. But he is mostly remembered for having two lions as pets and would he would often take them for walks on a leash. In the North of Ireland, there are silly laws that allow you to keep wild animals as dometic pets...

There was also another two very famous Hard Men. Stormy Weather and Silver McKee. One was Catholic and the other was protestant and they would sometimes knock on each others doors during the '50's just for fight. Sometimes Stormy won and sometimes Silver won. But at the end of each fight they would go to the nearest watering hole and down a coulpe of three pints of the black stuff. And remain good friends.

Another thing about Silver, he was at one time the body gaurd of Robert Mitchum....

Hi Lilly,

He knew, he had a miss-spent childhood..All over the NEWS OF THE WORLD on Sunday..

RE: --- Recession

Hi cups,

I've been following the credit crunch and how it will affect the Uk for the past 6mts. And nearly all economic forcasters or those who work in the futures market predict two things: The credit crunch will be short lived and the effects will not be evenly spread through out the Uk.

In Ireland for a while the Celtic Tiger helped make the Emerald Isle one of the strongest ecomonies in the world with investment coming in from the four corners of the globe. This led to over inflated house prices, which has seen some people fall into the negetaive equity trap.
House prices today are falling but only to a more relastic level..

As for the North of Ireland, it should see of the looming recession, mainly due to several investment conferences at the start of the year where many millions of dollars have been either promised of already put in place..

If the rest of the Uk slip in to the red that blame can only be laid at New Labours policies of spend, spend,spend. When Maggie left office in 1989 and Johnny Boy Major took the reins ( Mr. lets get back to basic's, which he did with Edwina), the Uk was sitting on a surplus of 50/60 Billion. Also a very healthy gold reserve. And Tony, Gorden, Allister (and all his spin docters) squandered it. Evening selling off the gold, when it was 250/300 oz. Today gold is somewhere 700/800 greenback an oz.

Just depends on your buisness plan..1+1=2..Some people think its 1+1=3..
