[Solskjaer]

His point was that the course was too easy for everyone. I'm just saying it would have been a very different tournament in terms of the scores coming in across the board had the greens been firmer.

I got his point, it's an easier course than planned, however the margin of (the lead) victory is huge and the 2nd place finisher will still be just an average score for a PGA tour final day so still a tough course. That par 4 11th hole must be the one of the very toughest on tour. What Rory is doing is incredible, I don't get why people are trying to take away from it (not you btw) the way he flies the ball if the greens were firmer he's be further ahead so in my view it's a moot point

[K1NG]

is that the schwarzenegger pumping iron? if so, it's a must watch. greatest arnie performance ever. he owns the hulk big time. absolute classic

Yep, thats the one - teh way he got inside Ferrigno's head is legendary.

I think there was a little bit more to it even than the rain - there seemed to be a lack of really vicious rough just off the fairway, people were often still able to go for the green when they missed the fairway by 15 feet.

I suppose its an inexact science setting a course, but I think they definitely erred. Even pin placements today looked to be set up to allow someone to make an early charge - your course is being demolished for 3 days so you make the pin placements easier on the last day. Not normal US Open stuff.

Taking nothing away from the kid, he'd have demolished them on the Jupiters 2nd Moon Low Gravity Course.

I heard something on the golf channel over the weekend that they had intended the rough to be longer but there was a very warm spell of weather that scuppered them.

Evening all,

Question: (prob better for the morning contingent but all help appreciated)

Would there be a way to find the revenues of the Dublin based McDonalds/Burger Kings anywhere online? Realise there a franchise so I doubt they have public accounts, and afaik the main body dont publish accounts either so its prob a no go but someone might know?

Edit: Any (or as many) fast food outlets will do.

That was fun - took me awhile to figure out the bot as it was pretty advanced but had a couple of glaring gaps in its software. Took it for 8 BI's before it was shut down. It was actually sitting idle on a couple of tables after beating some people so I stepped in to take the free money I'm not explaining these hands because it took me 8 hours to figure the fecking thing out.

Word from the congressional golf course is that after the flag was thrown at him he was heard muttering "I hate those feinian bastards" under his breathe.

I'm up at 6am every morning regardless.

Also, question for the finance heads:

Since, you've also agreed that the banks here have 0 money to lend (realistically) be it for a house, start-up or other, whats to stop Irish people catching cheap Ryanair flights to Continental Europe (read: Germany) opening an account (with a Visa Debit) with a Bank there, and applying for a Home Loan/Business Loan?

Surely its feasible to have your employer pay wages into this account? Then since pretty much everywhere takes Visa Debit it'd be practically the same as having an Irish account? Would it increase your chances of getting a loan?

No?

Why to all of the above? Or are you just talking in general for someone looking for credit?

The banks will generate credit for people who are guaranteed to pay it back. However, this is pretty unprofitable for a bank, especially when they're going to have to charge premia that are pretty uncompetitive.

In essence, it's not impossible to get a loan, but those who get it will be so loanworthy that it almost makes no sense. Like me staking Line Us into a $215 or something.

The application for the home loan / loan from a German bank will obviously have to have collateral that is based in Ireland. Obviously the bank wont accept any collateral that it cannot vouch for completely (anymore) and will make that a tough sell too. I'm not personally aware of any problems with taking loans out from banks outside your own resident country, but that's not to say there are none.

No real reason. Just thinking.

I mean theres a whole generation of people our age, with Degrees and Masters who wont go abroad for whatever reason. They are by and large an ambitious bunch so it makes me wonder what they are going to do for credit. 99% of them dont have access to money that would make them loanworthy (in your line us example).

So what are they to do? I mean saving for a deposit is doable although increasingly less so. They are going to want to get on the propery ladder soon, first home buyers etc. There is also the business start up issue.

The fact that credit wont be widely available might have big implications for rental markets, hire/purchase markets. Will also undoubtedly stall entrepreneurs growth and make more 'company men'.

Govt can't really do much about it, would be anti-competition and wouldn't make sense. Govt stopping the money system getting back to a liquid one would be suicidal.

They'll enter when it makes sense to do so, it doesn't look likely to be too soon though. If any bank had thought that it might make any sense, they would've just bought AIB when it was tuppence a share, instantly being completely setup with a huge market share and ready-made everything.
