St Patrick's day parade as well?

are we a little bit ****phobic cookie ?

"Normal people"

I see Tel Aviv is is hosting a 100,000 pride parade today .Good people everywhere.

The call him Pele in golf circles ( he cheats by kicking the ball so much ).Now he fires Erika McEntarfer for issuing jobs numbers he doesn't like. Erika McEntarfer not only issued the impact on Trumps policies on jobs but also revised figures for the previous two months which were a lot worse than previously published.

35% chance of US recession now ,Did Buffet see this coming and sold off into cash? Gold buyers at record highs.US debt repayments spiraling. GLA.

Lenders appear to have avoided potentially having to pay compensation to millions of drivers after the Supreme Court ruled they are not liable for hidden commission payments in car finance schemes.

The court sided with one of the claimants, a Mr Johnson, and awarded him individual compensation due to the circumstances in his case.

But on other points, the court overturned a Court of Appeal ruling that the customers had a case.

The uncertainty is not over, however, with a separate case on a different type of car finance - making up around 40% of deals - ongoing at the Financial Conduct Authority.

The SP on the day of the short was 11.62

I see Citadel Advisors Europe are holding a .62% short in BIRG since June 20th.Maybe the ceasefire will be against them?

I hope the Norwegian singer wins.... I mean Ireland.

Song about a dog ,not bad,though an obvious plagiarism of Fr Ted's my lovely horse song.

When to sell up.Warren Buffet calls this the Cinderella dilemma,everyone wants to stay at the party and time their departure to just before midnight.Problem is that the clock on the mantelpiece has no hands!

Seemingly the MOVE index , which signals volatility in the markets , was at an all time high only ever matched once when Lehnmans collapsed.Ten year treasury bonds were still rising when in fact it was what Trump wanted to bring down.These ten year bonds are the cornerstone to Morgage and national debt repayments.That is why Trump had to change tact .America deserves better than this.

Yea gold up 37% in one year,put my pension into cash funds in January (anticipation of Trumps dogma ) So what now? Negotiations probably, please not more bloody minded rhetoric but he's been banging this drum long before becoming president.

I see your Israeli friends got stung as well with as 17% import tax which was surprising given they slashed all US import tariffs the day before and Howard Luthnick being the Secretary Of Commerce.

The Yanks need interest rates to come down to start lending again but trumps tariffs are inflationary which we all know go hand in hand,only adding to their national debt.

Not too long ago that each our shares was worth twice as much as a single AIB share....

Happy new year and peace on earth 🇮🇪

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

Reckon the appeal court was just rubberstamping the ombudsman's role while the Supreme Court will have to decide how punitive while at the same not wiping out the car finance companies.
