ireland was a basket case until european money rebuilt it. Sadly, they seem to have overlooked the inevitable payback time and that europe was going to want something in return. They were down the bottom of the league with spain for years in terms of net contributions, i think we were 3rd from top after germany and france.

My guess is that they would have done what they are advocating at the moment, ie leave our deficit as it is and hope to get it cleared over a longer period. That would prompt a downgrading of our national credit rating, and we'd be even more f*cked than we are now.

strummer

genuine lol

if mackail smith gets fouled and falls backwards and to the left, we'll know for sure its a stitch up.

christ almighty, reading this thread reminds me that self-employment is worth the hassle after all.

if the garage is alarmed the house must be f*cking terrified!

I'm slightly puzzled by the proposition tbh, are they queuing up to get on here?

I bet your wifes glad of that.

out of interest, are you married?

I will indeed. My personal preference would be Hilary Benn, it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Dont get too excited, he wont be there come the next election. He's only a bullet catcher after the last one, and eminently disposable.

lofl!!

Agreed. And I'm also getting tired of mr bean bleating the same tired line about the abysmal weather having had absolutely no impact on the growth figures for that quarter. I did about a fifth of the work I normally would because I simply couldnt get anywhere, and nobody could get here to the showroom. On the few occasions i did manage to get into town it was empty. Even the banks were closing early ffs, how can anyone think that wouldnt have a massive impact on the economy? At the busiest economic time of the year?

if its german porn he wants, I take a sh*t once a day

Interesting thread Bridgey, and its not something you can alter yourself. I mean, you cant force yourself to feel distraught when you arent, can you. I havent yet lost an immediate family member, (dad, mum, sister,) but I have lost an uncle I was very close to and a grandfather and grandmother who were even closer and it didnt really affect me. I mean, it was upsetting when I got the news, but that passed within a few hours tbh and I just accepted it. Thats all well and good, but what I cant understand is that a guy I had only known for about 18 months, and not so much socially (although it became that way,) he got killed by his stepson a few years ago just after christmas. I was absolutely devastated, why the f*ck should that be? The only reason I can think of is that he turned up out of the blue and helped with a massive backlog of work at a time I was really struggling to cover everything, between us we cleared it in about 3 months, so maybe it was a kind of gratitude-type thing. Very odd tho.

Did you ever work in woolston? Just asking
