I hear Australia is nice this time of year.

tbh, if you're mobile, skilled and debt-free (the reall killer for a lot of Irish) why the hell would you want to stick around in Ireland for the next decade or so?

get out to somewhere that hasn't been run by kleptomaniacs, that has nice weather, a high standard of living and sexy ladeez imo

Mortgage kinda kills that. The mortgage isnt crippling, I didnt over extend myself, but its there, and there is fukk all hope of selling right now.

Glyn,

Can I just ask...........

Why the fcuk do you still live here?! All the constant talk of doom and gloom and slating absolutley every element of our little emerald isle would make me think you would want to get out?

[V for Vendetta]

What are the thoughts of you guys, with the current job situation and Waterford being particulary bleak, am I best to take the step back if it comes to that or take the paltry redundancy offer?

You'd need to set out all the relevant info for anyone to make an informed comment Kev.

Personal situation?
Debt?
Willingness to move?
Ties in the community?
Job satisfaction?
Age?
Skills?

Maybe prioritise what are the most important things to you.

You probably don't want to do that here, but tbh I'd actually write all these things down and more, and try to get a feel for what I felt was important to me and then try to be objective on how best to maximise what you want to do.

I'd also have the CV dusted off and be applying for everything just to get a feel for the employment market at the minute to inform yourself.

I'm not mobile (kids, Mrs S has a career here, family) or debt-free (mortgage).
It is possible that things might get so bad here that we might have to reassess but for now, with us both still in jobs, we're staying.

and that's ridiculous to say I slate everything. There's loads of great things about living here: the West coast, pubs, the people, hurling, getting bad beats put on me by you....

I slate the stuff that deserves to be slated imo! And yes, that includes most elements of political life in this country. So what?

The comments are great, especially comment number 2

I agree with this action. Pigeons carry all manner of diseases like AIDS, malaria, rabies and mad cow disease to name but a few. They are also very aggressive and I can vouch for this as I was attacked by a flock and pecked severely while on my way home from flower arranging classes. In fact I would be more than happy to help in the killing of these evil creatures. Well done Kingston council keep up the good work.

FYP

Im not saying anything bad I just get the feeling from your posts that you hate everything about the place! Just an observation........

I think you should run in the next local elections, I'm not being smart, i'd defo vote for you! We could have a BBV campaign with Olly as your campaign manager.

[Jackyback]

Question for this mighty all knowing thread,

Has anyone on here have any bonded experience, part of our warehouse is bonded and we are looking at the option of opening customer accounts in the UK.

My question is when shipping to a customer in the UK does the following occur when shipping wines/spirits,

a) We the supplier pay the Irish Duty prior to delivery
b) We pay the UK Duty prior to delivery
c) The customer in the UK has the option to pay the UK duty prior to delivery.

I have asked our customs officer and he has gone off to look but may take a while.
Thanks in advance

it's not correct (I think).

I'm pretty happy here - if we weren't governed by corrupt monkeys who are intent on turning us into the West European version of Albania, I'd be happier still!

I've got no interest in local politics

And my agenda is pretty radical as regards national politics (radical situations demand radical solutions after all); I don't think you'll find any mainstream political party advocating that all Irish banks be allowed to fail, for example.

Olly would be a good campaign manager though; he's amoral enough to do anything to win!

Celtic manager Tony Mowbray was caught speeding on his way to parkhead this morning. Police asked him why he done it. He said he'd fuckin do anything for 3points!

[Denny Crane]

Are you kidding me? How the hell your still watching into the 6th season if you didn't think that was awesome is beyond me.

Opr

i've never been a huge fan of it myself, but i thought that was really disappointing.

[brianmc]

I'm working in Ericsson in Athlone this week again. Outside the canteen there's a couple of guys trying to sign people up to the "Ericsson Poker Club".

Is that any of you lot?

[Denny Crane]

Truth is often crazier than fiction. I don't really need to convince you. It's not my responsibility, that is your responsbility if you want to look into it.

Powers of be, have killed millions of people throughout history and are still killling people in the name of power today at this minute. The average joe soap and the rest of the 99% of the world's population don't write our history books the other 1% does unfortunately. That 1% gives us the ****e we read in our history books.

People only realise the truth when it hits home.

But oh no, we just can't believe the truth, its to hard to believe. We live in a normal world then! I'd rather realise the crazier world than keep putting myself in some deluded denial that I'm living in a sane world. I have opened my eyes ever since I left a prison called school and used my own brain and mind to figure out whats going on this planet.

Man with power will do what he likes, it's not strange to me.

so bizzare.

Pm one of the mods for access in the cousin's section. Id say it's in there somewhere.

He is seriously sick in the head and is going on about history books alot lately.

[ArmaniJeans]

so bizzare.

CHD was saying a few pages ago hethinks mysterious is a level ('the greatest level in the history of the Internet') - I'm not so sure. 4 years, 4000+ posts of the same nonsense would be seriously dedicated trolling.
Either way, he writes some fantastic gibberish.

i just don't understand what makes people actually believe and invest so much time in that stuff.

I took that advice last year - and, tbh, it was the best thing I ever did. Moved to the UK (okay, some would say its still governed by kleptomaniacs; does not have nice weather, but the wimmin are unbelievable!) and my salary goes a lot, lot further than it would do back home!

I'm presuming the old cousin has been disowned; any chance you could set me up with the new family?

[Flushdraw]

When they advise you take nurofen plus etc with water, is it for any reason? I've just taken 2 and the only thing i had to wash it down with was Lucozade.

Does it make any difference?

There is loads of normal people who buy into it. The theories can seem plausible so people will just accept them. People always add 2+2 and get 5.

A banker has been left red-faced after being caught looking at racy near-nude photographs on his computer live on Australian television.

The Macquarie Private Wealth employee in Sydney clicked up the images of Australian model Miranda Kerr's latest GQ shoot, unaware a colleague nearby was doing a live television interview about the government's decision not to raise interest rates.

Australia's Seven Network broadcast the news item yesterday, with the photographs clearly showing on a computer screen in the background.

At one stage, the man turns and looks directly at the television camera and realises he is in its line of sight.

The incident has become a global internet hit with over 200,000 views and a 5-star rating on YouTube. It was reported widely in Australia's newspapers today.

Macquarie Bank, known locally as the "millionaire's factory', said it was taking the matter seriously.

"Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today's live cross on Seven News is being dealt with internally," the bank told local media.

Macquarie declined to name the employee. He is understood to be a mid-level client investment manager. He has reportedly been meeting executives to determine his future.

Its a mental illness.

When they advise you take nurofen plus etc with water, is it for any reason? I've just taken 2 and the only thing i had to wash it down with was Lucozade.

Does it make any difference?

Actually what they strongly recommend is that you take Neurofen + with food because they are very harsh on the walls of the stomach and can cause ulcers if they don't get digested quickly. By eating something you get the digestiove juices working and all is ok. A glass of milk is enough I don't know for sure but I suppose lucosade will do the job fine.

[Icarus152]

This,milk is alkalinePH neutral, fizzy drinks are acidic.Stick with milk,when possible

A once off shouldn't be a problem with lucozade

I was invited over to a family friends house to fix their PC. Of the 21,000 files on it, 6,000 were infected. Trouble is the thing is so badly infected that it's pretty much a write off. Facing a severe dilemma though as I wonder whether or not to wait until they finish making a pot of tea for me to break the news to them.

I suppose this is also a good time to warn everyone to ignore any tech support queries that I answer on here

On a related query - when they say not to take things like multi-vitamin tablets on an empty stomach - does it really matter?

Usually not, but I did get caught once with a new multivitamin - took it on an emoty stomach, didnt have time for breakfast til later, as I was running late and an hour or so later I was getting sick.........
