OK, so I have been on here talking about the potential of a middle-class run on the banks and the fact that people are panicking and getting their loots the hell out of Irish banks and indeed Ireland.
Sounds panicky, right? Ill-informed speculation?
BoI just released a trading statement (remember, they're the 'good' bank among our bunch of turkeys).
Loan to Deposit ratio has gone from 145% to 160% (this is a key funding ratio for banks i..e they are losing deposits because they sure as fuck aren't writing new loans). Deposits have gone from 84bn to 75bn. Trust is breaking down and people are voting with their feet.

Then hit Alt-Space and the little 'restore-move-maximise etc' menu should appear on the side of your screen. Click maximise and that should do it.

Eircom phonewatch's current marketing campaign is an absolute disgrace.
Imagine an old lady living alone listening to the radio and every ad break she hears this prick telling her that 'oh, did you know that 90% of house break-ins happen when the person is at home' or 'the majority of burglars break in your front door', 'burglaries are on the rise' etc...
These statements are most likely true, but the statistical likelyhood of any one house being targeted for a break in is so minimal that it should hardly be given a second thought.
These ads frighten the shite out of people, and for a product that imo is extremely bad value.
I paid €450 for a house alarm six years ago, an alarm that has never once gone off unexpectedly. I had an eircom rep trying to sell me phonewatch at the time.
If I had bought it, I would have spent €3900 by now.
Zero break-ins in six years is absolutely standard, so why is it legal for a company selling an extremely bad value product to scare the wits out of old and fragile people with vastly exaggerated claims?
It's akin to some chancer knocking on an elderly persons door telling them they need new gutters because 'Those one's could easily fall down missus'.
I think I'll make a complaint to advertising standards.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Would like him to win though, hippy fighters are good craic.

Excuse my choice of words as in any form of fighting there is no shoe ins but i am a big fan of Brookins before this serious having seen 2 or 3 of his fights. He is also a class act.Its an enjoyable season but dont see many superstars come out of it.
I would like the Series to go back to the way they used to do it with two different weight catagories.Season 1 will never be topped.

the funny thing is that the Irish banks need this bailout desperately

The Gorillaz did a good job in the Point last night by the way, pretty cool gig. I also went to that Met Society lecture in Wynns beforehand and that was great too, very entertaining stories from Dr. Aidan Nulty and Dr. Gerry Fleming about different situations they've found themselves in over the years of working with Met Eireann and RTE.

The job interview at the start was the hilarity high point:
Q: "What would your weaknesses be then?"
A: "Oh I wouldn't have any to be fair"
The Crystal Swing thing with Lucy whatshername was very cringey.
On the plus side, I caught the last half hour of a Setanta documentary on the Cheltenham festival which was quite interesting (if a little heavy on myth making whimsy)."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Lads, question:
I booked Aer Lingus flights to London for the weekend of Dec 4th and 5th and will not now be heading over. If I cancel the flights now will I get any money back for them? If not, could I transfer them over to someone else?
If neither apply should I just say 'fuck it' and fail to notify Aer Lingus at all?
Thanks in advance."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

It's pretty standard to see double figure runs by one team and then the other in basketball a few times a game which means lots and lots of price swings/fluctuations. The hard part is picking the correct games and timing the momentum swing.

Folks, bit of a long shot but if anyone can help mucho apreciato.
I've been contacted by Dublin Zoo about putting in a small market over three weekends next month, it's to coincide with a fully sold out family xmas event they're running.
Problem for me is it needs to be mostly craft based, children's toys, gifts etc.. but most of my contacts are food vendors.
I have a few lined up but I need five or six more, if any of you know anybody in that line of business let me know.
Also, I'm trying to get in touch with somebody that can sell roasted chestnuts, street vendor type. If anyone can help there too.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

law and order
just reading the IT there and there's a story on the second page about a guy who got convicted of manslaughter after ramming a guy's car, dragging him out, attacking him with a machete and then driving over him
the judge gave him nine years
here's the bit that I thought interesting:
Mr Justice McCarthy said he was particularly struck by a part of the Myers’ family’s victim impact statement, where they described sitting around Aidan’s body in a small hospital room thinking “please, oh please, no”.
He said O’Riordan’s actions had been “morally reprehensible” and he regarded the crime as very high on the scale of manslaughter.
He also referred to the fact that a few weeks after the killing, O’Riordan was sentenced to two years’ jail for dangerous driving and reckless endangerment after hijacking a car, dragging a petrol pump attendant along the road, and ramming into another vehicle injuring two people.
But he said he could not take that, or his string of other convictions, into consideration, nor could he sentence O’Riordan on the basis that he had intended to kill or cause serious injury."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

[QUOTE]Irish Times
Some management sources said the reforms were already under way in some parts of the State in relation to the issue of additional time off awarded to staff on top of annual leave.
Staff in Leitrim County Council, for example, no longer get a traditional half-day’s leave in recognition of a local regatta on the shannon..
The local authority decided to seek to end the practice in the light of the deteriorating economic situation and because the original festival no longer took place. Staff brought the issue to the Labour Court, which ruled last year that they should receive compensation by way of a “one-off allocation of two days’ additional annual leave in 2009 and one day’s additional leave in 2010”.
Earlier this year Kildare County Council sought to remove two privilege days traditionally given to staff on top of annual leave to attend the horse racing festival at Punchestown.
