A grinding three-year turnaround at Credit Suisse Group AG was starting to pay off and the bank boss was hosting a new year’s drinks party.
Among his 60 or so guests were many locals from the Zurich suburb of Herrliberg, along with a clutch of top Credit Suisse executives and his new neighbors -- Iqbal Khan, the bank’s wealth-management chief, and his wife.
Before long, it all went wrong. A remark by Khan to Thiam’s partner set off a bitter feud between the two alpha males. The guest had insulted the state of the garden, according to a person who was there. Later, Thiam tapped Khan on the shoulder and asked for a word. The two went downstairs and argued before later resurfacing.
The dispute has reverberated ever since and reached a climax Tuesday. That’s when Khan started his new post at UBS Group AG, Credit Suisse’s bigger rival in Zurich, and Thiam’s board revealed the results of an extraordinary internal investigation into the embarrassing soap opera and the decision to spy on Khan after he quit July 1. The result: Thiam’s long-time top lieutenant lost his job, as did the bank’s head of security

But but but the guy with a dicky bow on the panel of 8 blowhards on Wolf Blitzers show said Trumps definitely done this time.
Actually caught a bit of wolf blitzers show recently, the portentous opening music kept playing for about 10 minutes in to the show. They are a joke

World athletics champs in Doha have been a bit of a disaster it seems, shaking my faith a bit for Quatar 2020.
Hope it doesn’t get pulled , I wasn’t my December World Cup, it’ll be great

Taking break from Japan, ended up in Philippines, on Bohol island, Chinese holiday week apparently and it's busier than Tokyo was. Absolutely jammed. My skin pigmentation doesn't lend itself to blistering sun and laying around either.
Fly into Cebu, before taking ferry here. Went from Japan to arriving at hotel, smell of burning electrics and the power out of entire block, rats running along power lines, my wife went to bathroom and had to wait as a woman washed herself with toilet water.

Wonder what the craze was for planting palm trees in Dublin in the 1970s. Especially around the coast, you see them everywhere from Howth, Sutton, Raheny, Clontarf etc
I have a pretty big one in my front garden but it looks insanely incongruous with our climate, especially now."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

SPOILEROriginally posted by IT View Post"The McEvaddys acquired the estate on the Dublin Road in Malahide for about €1.87 million in 1996."
"An entry in the residential property price register for Auburn House estate, which sits on 11 hectares (27 acres), indicates €6 million was paid, but this figure represents the price paid solely for the main house and up to an acre of lands. An additional undisclosed sum was paid for the remainder of the site and houses."
"The final price paid for Auburn House is likely to be one of the highest value – if not the highest value – Dublin home transactions of the year, and certainly the most expensive house sold in north Dublin since the property market collapsed in 2007."

Almost everything about how rugby is presented in this country is incredibly grating
I know plenty of people with similar views to myself

Likes of off the ball are embarrassing anytime they have a rugby player on eg BOD. No hard questions they just line up to take turns fondling his balls .
Watch now how all the rugby “journalists” will suddenly be interested in PEDs in rugby if it’s South Africa that knock us out.
Of all the sports rugger lads get the easiest ride, if Sean o brown was a soccer player pissgate would have been front page news.

Throw in sub-industry leaders like Kerry, Kingspan, and Intercom, and we're massively above weight worldwide per capita for industry leaders created in the last two decades.
They are either unlisted or listed in other States so they wouldn’t get the same coverages. Likewise Ardagh packaging at $12bn EV, listed in NY, is 1st-2nd in its sector.

They are fucking dull and the rugby ones are the worst!
Hope Ireland win the world cup, will probably watch some of the later stages but ultimately rugby is a minority sport for a reason... its shite!

Originally posted by Wesley Harms View PostStates legalizing poker are increasing, if they US market opens again to poker then profitability will go nuclear
Given those associations will be given a cut directly from the source, NBA apparently asking for 1% of bets, the level of marketing behind will be incredible.
Just like poker in Ireland, it will be small compared to what sports betting will generate.
