On The Up

Well it looks like things are on the up again after the last 3 years of market slump. EMC have reported substantial gains in this years Q3 compared to the same quarter last year. Other companies are following suit. Could it be that this was the quickest turnaround from a global recession ever or was… Read More »On The Up

Bin Tax

Yes, they should bin this tax in my opinion. Doesn’t every civilised country have an obligation to its citizens to keep it tidy? After all every citizen pays tax on everything they do never mind the money they earn. Bin charges are a ridiculous idea, it’s like slapping a tax on water. Remember what happened… Read More »Bin Tax

Well He Did Say He’d Be Back

Well Arnie is in and personnally I think he will do a great job over there in CA. His first press conference went really well and he’s handling the burning issues pretty good. His first major statement is that he won’t raise taxes (clich�?) and he’ll also repeal car tax. It will be interesting to… Read More »Well He Did Say He’d Be Back

I Didn’t, I Don’t Have To

  • by

I’ve been following the case recently of Liam Lawlor and all the disputes involved with extracting any information from the man. Personnally I would dub him to be Ireland’s answer to “Comical Ali” (Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf – the Iraqi information minister) thanks to his humourous denials of basically everything and suggesting otherwise. Last evening on… Read More »I Didn’t, I Don’t Have To

Q. What goes no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes? A.
