As if waking up wasn't traumatic enough some mornings, now you can get a wakie up phone call from a complete stranger.
"Hey there, I'm just calling to wake you up," I said a little awkwardly. "Thanks. Where are you from?" replied a female voice with a thick Irish accent.

You are a notoriously shambolic predictor of financial things. It's not a bad thing though as you take it with an element of self-depreciating humour - albeit with a historic sense imbued in your posts that you felt you were once actually able to predict these events."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I'll have to put my thinking cap on for that.
I think I made some non financial ones a couple of years ago but could never find the post. Still curious. .X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

It seems I accurately predicted the rise of Pat Bryne on Ireland's got a Talent Voice thing, mixed but profitable success on X-Factor, killing it on Eurovision winners and have thankfully won the only 2 political bets I have made.
Had a google for worst ever predictions but it was less interesting than I anticipated.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

Important thing being card transactions aren't rounded (though it's almost impossible to use an Irish debit or credit card there).May you live in interesting times!
