Ballet girl is hotter fwiw.

From a woman's point of view I totally agree. I think she is much prettier and who cares that she doesn't have a huge pair of melons!

Another probably quite stupid question for you Mr RDIII but I have been told that we actually need 250bil+ and our expected interest rates of around 6.5% means around 16bil per year so it seems that 6bil of cuts is a bit like pissing in the sea and trying to cause a flood. Does this not mean we are gauranteed to default at this level so why have we not gone to IMF\ECB or anyone else with the money to give and said that we cant afford this and just put it out there. My understanding is that default is probably way worse for everyone else then us at this stage so suerly we can demand a better interest rate at this stage to make it viable

Yay, I bought £1K Stg worth of PP shares at £9 back in 2002 and held on.

(I bought £1K of Baltimore the same day but we'll ignore that).

good question

if it was just us in isolation, this might be some sort of option and a SDRM could be worked out, creditors would take a haircut and our debt would be rescheduled to some sort of level where we would have a chance of paying it back.

the problem is that the ECB\EU\IMF aren't trying to shore up Ireland, they're trying to shore up the entire Eurozone and, by extension, the world economy. Therefore, even though we know we're going to default and they know we're going to default - they can't let it happen NOW.

@RDIII

I know this has probably been asked before but how is all this going to effect a normal joe soap like myself?

I have a morgage and a semi secure job.

Would I be right to think that my morgae is going to go up and my wages will go down through taxation?

[Theresa]

Also, that picture is very shopped no?

Shut up.

mortgage repayments depend on the terms; hopefully you have a tracker?

the value of your house will likely decline another 50%

you will be hit with higher and more (e.g. property tax, water charges etc) forms of taxation so you'll have less disposable income

on the bright side, you have a job in an industry that is generally considered 'recession-proof'. And a way with the ladies

Pretty much, mortgage payments will depend on whether you've a tracker mortgage or not, but the value of your house will decline also, and you will be paying more in other taxes, VAT,property tax etc.

[Jackyback]

I just completed my budget for next year and with all the cuts I now represent 14% of our overall wages spend...I know what I would be doing if it was my business

I applied for two very good jobs in the States last night, deffo going to attend an interview if i get called.

I have a variable rate mortgage I didnt know what a tracker mortgage was

I was speaking to someone recently who said as I have a house in negative equity that I was better to change to and interest only mortgage and not pay on the original sum. Is this a good idea? Would I not be better to keep chipping off the principal?

[Theresa]

Got my eyesight sorted with some contact lenses.

Its actually ridiculous how blind I was. I see people now.

ul on the variable rate mortgage, these are going to go through the roof

(I could sugarcoat this for you but there's little point)

If you plan to live in the house for the rest of your life and are happy with it, there's no point in going to interest oony;. Plus the bank is highly unlikely to let you do this if you still have an income.

if you plan to flee the country and default on your debts, that's another story!

yes, yes she is. However she's no

Your images didn't come up, which upset me.

You say this tongue in cheek but I genuinely struggle to see the other half of the pitch. I see blurs and hammer the ball in the direction of whichever coloured blur is similar to my teams colour.

[Theresa]

I dont have any live poker skills. Itll probably be detrimental to me playing live though as I've always maintained poker players were the scummiest ugliest people you could come across, now I have proof.

I wouldn't have left it as long as you did to get it sorted so. If it's that bad it might be worth looking at laser surgery to see if it can help, long term solutions to long term problems and all that.

According to the heavy hitters on Vincent Brown last night the figure is going to be closer to 350 billion than the 200 being bandied about.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

You just got to love him.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway admits he subbed Stephen Crainey by accident in the 2-1 win against Wolves on Saturday, having wanted to replace Luke Varney with David Carney. "We got it mixed up," he said. "Varney, Carney, Crainey is a tongue-twister."

took a couple of weeks to get them all

I think England are an outstanding bet alright, Australia are in total disarray. First session tonight will be very interesting (remember Harmison's first ball four years ago? It ended up somewhere around third slip and they lost the series 5-0)

You know, this whole bank bailout/Eurozone disaster thing is just us being us. Sure if we didnt have fighting and drinking, what would we have.

We're good at using a small number of people to bring a large thriving empire to its knees. Happened before, happening now, will happen again. C'est la vie.

"its a bank sir"
"No, its a fuckin' weapon"

Yep, the biggest act of decommissioning (sp?) was when the Wolf Tones handed in their instruments.

[Kayroo]

Damn you for mentioning the arcade in here.

But speaking of Kayroo I did take his Tetris high score.

Temporarily. Nice try 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.

This is a fairly regular occurrence in Spanish football. Good chance Mourinho told them to do it.

One for Raoul Doom III:

A mate, on 99 birds shagged, takes back a girl he'd been for drinks with. We (his housemates) all hide behind furniture in the living room when he came back. He sta...rts his foreplay and asks her if she'd mind if he wore cricket gloves whilst... they had sex, since it was a bit of a fetish thing for him.... She looked confused but said fine, he goes into bag and puts them on. Then asks if he can wear pads, then finally a helmet. Fully padded up, proceeds to enter her and after about 3 minutes (LAD) comes, flicks on the main light switch. We all pop up from behind the sofa with rousing applause and cries of 'THATS THE CENTURY!!', he grabs his cricket bat, removes his helmet and acknowledges the crowd. She bursts into tears, dresses quickly and runs out of the front door. She left her pants. LAD

I know but how would they police it for those who make the change, pocket the buyout of the tracker (i assume this is the only way they would manage it) with the sole intention of gtfo of dodge very soon after.

as I said, I know it's terrible, but I still laughed a little.

C'mon, we laugh at horrible things all the time, lets not start whiteknighting random ladies who may or may not exist.

People = shit.

[The Situation]

RD III, from my limited knowledge of cricket, are Australia not supposed to have a sick record at The Gabba and it's the pitch that suits their style most? Would you not be better off waiting until after this test and getting on Engerland at a bigger price after they more than like lose this one.

[Theresa]

Yeah the story is most likely fake.

Funny Mick taking the moral highground though.
