Lol at someone who complains that a class has researched past exam papers / published "suggested" exam questions though!

If it fails, go to www.daveproxy.co.uk or www.proxysite.co.uk/
I listed ninja first as its a site I used, and it worked fine, but that wasn't for a kindle

Forensic means legal, it comes from the word forum. A forensic scientist is a scientist who works in relation to the law. A forensic psychologist is someone who works in relation to criminals, usually prisoners.

Trying to find some stats for you if thats what you really need lol. But I would be pretty damn sure beckham has a better goals and assists to games ratio than mcmanaman.
I can't think of any part of McManaman's game that set him apart from anyone else in the world, but when you think of Beckham, you think of his crossing, freekicks, passing range, dedication, etc

265 Games, 237 starts, 62 goals & 152 assists
McManaman
275 Games, 257 starts, 41 goals & 112 assists
you could argue that McManaman suffered from playing in a poorer team during his PL stint I suppose. I still prefer Beckham though.

Lol at the two boys being sent off last night. didn't see any football as I just got hooked on the West Wing (cheers RD 8 episodes in two nights). Checked the teletext and saw the two sent off late in a match they have won and I'm thinking "Mourinho will go fucking ballistic with them". LOL.

We should be able to get away with the absolute minimum interest as a payment for not defaulting and spreading the contagion."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I really am clueless when it comes to this type of topic...
Put it this way, BoI has suffered large-scale retail deposit loss over the last few months and this is accelerating. Not all of those people are panic-stricken lunatics. Also, uncertainty and market volatility is off the charts at present - nobody really knows with certainty what way this will pan out.
That said, it's your money - make up your own mind. Here's a good link."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I really am clueless when it comes to this type of topic...
The real question is what happens if the budget doesn't get passed and the IMF / EU cannot thrash out a deal with this country. I'd say a 10-15% probability of this happening in my opinion.
If this does happen then No, I don't the guarantee is worth much because the only way we can deal with bank upcoming maturities is to haricut the debt they owe, which will also haircut the deposits in the banks.
This is a very complicated issue and there are many different potential outcomes. Personally (and this is only my own personal opinion) I would not be happy having any sort of significant deposits in AIB / BOI / Anglo / EBS etc.
IMPORTANT:
The bank senior bonds and deposits are treated equally under Irish banking legislation.
i.e. - if there is a haircut on the bonds, there will be one on deposits.
So, like I said .... if "the budget doesn't get passed and the IMF / EU cannot thrash out a deal with this country" - there is no liquidity to repay the debt the banks owe and a haircut becomes a reality.
I don't think this is likely but it's definetely within the realms of possibilities - it's happened in countless countries before.
AND THIS CERTAINLY WON'T HELP
MohameD El-Erian, one of the most astute investors in the world, CEO of Pimco, the largest bond investor in the world, ex head of the Harvard Endowment Fund, ex Deputy Dirctor at the IMF made some 'interesting comments' today ....
"Unless European officials act quickly enough to calm the crisis, Ireland risks a “major bank run,” Pacific Investment Management Co. Co-Chief Investment Officer Mohamed A. El-Erian said today. Allied Irish Banks Plc, the country’s second-largest bank, said Nov. 19 that its deposits dropped by about 13 billion euros -- or 17 percent -- since the start of the year.
“The numbers so far have shown that the Irish banking system has been bleeding deposits,” El-Erian said in a Bloomberg Radio interview on “Bloomberg Surveillance” with Tom Keene. “It will seriously undermine the prosperity of this country for a generation.”

What I find worrying about our current situation is the lack of understanding by most people of how bad things really are.
It’s easy to say I’m sick of all this doom and gloom and to be numbed by it all and tell Raoul to cheer up and post something cheerful but really we are in a very bad spot.
I know statements like “we’re totally fucked” sound panicky but it really is an accurate description.
Just look at the figures. We’re on our way to owing somewhere in the region of €180 to €200 billion. It is likely that we will have to borrow this at around 5%. That’s interest repayments of €9/€10 billion alone each year. With an intake of around €30 billion we simply cannot afford to pay 1/3 of that in interest payments alone.
People have to wake up and realise that all this doom and gloom talk is going to severally affect their every day lives and that of their children and likely their children’s children as well.
Today with the 4 year plan people will see some of the immediate impact and it will finally dawn on them that all this economic talk does have very real effects on their every day lives.
I’d love to be able to put in a ‘but’ here but I really don’t have one. My best case scenario is that it will be a slow gradual decline as Raoul mentions and not a sharp shock, although personally I think people will be saying in the next few months. “How did things get so bad, so quick”Last edited by Reaps; 24-11-10, 10:35.You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked.

They purposely got themselves sent out so that they would miss the dead rubber game in the group stages, they then play the first leg of the second round and if they get booked they aren't suspended for the second leg. Similarly if they were to get booked in the second leg they wouldn't be suspended for the QF.
It may not be against the rules of the game, but it's definitely against the spirit of it.

S&P's take on Ireland
it's quite a technical read but worth struggling through imo
I don't have a vast amount of time for the ratings agencies in general but it's hard to disagree with much of this"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
