But do they not have resourses in the ground that the Chinese are willing to pay and keep the boom going? We had nothing, still you live there Sudz so I'll listen to your opinion

There's a difference between talking sh1te non stop and being able to answer questions based on something you've been watching in a cogent manner.

I want a new tax

LSC - Local Service Charge

1 euro per week for everyone over 18 regardless of any excuse

Everyone must pay it.

(we first need to remove the waste from the Local Authorities though)

Well there is nothing wrong with the household charge per se. Its only 2 euros a week, after all, if they let people pay it off at 2 euros a week in the post office there would be so much less hassle about it all.

Not any more.... back in the UK nearly a week now.

The mining boom is only really hapening in Western Australia. It's kinda carrying the rest of the country. There and over on the other side of the country there is a crazy property boom going on. I reckon it will burst at some stage.

Isn't it shocking all the same that Hairdressing has been removed from the "Critical Skills" list?

It sure is, I mean I thought it would be right up there with designing satelites or nuclear power stations. No wonder Australia is in recession :rolleyes:

Bankroll it and then move in. No surprise that the US is already setting up in Darwin

And some of the same Irish builders cutting corners and doing poor quality work.

I dunno imagine it is a legit claim, you can have back problems and still walk and have good days. Insurance companies never ever want to pay up, you insure your car for 1000, then its robbed and they say market value is 200, they never want to pay in any instance.
Never had to claim thank god, but from people I know who needed to (house burnt down), it was torture!

I did not hear all the interview so do not know how bad he says he is. But a friend of mine has serious back pain and is suing no one or claiming no insurance and has nothing to gain by faking. I know he is on meds for pain, they do not always work and he has sleepless nights. yet he can walk a distance hands in pockets but is still in pain when walking,he sometimes puts hand on back to stretch it but he has the pain when hands are in pocket.

It is nonsense to say he holds his back whn on CCTV as CCTV is everywhere now and he coiuld not see all the cameras. PI who use garda contact to get info to track people are scum. and a PI who thinks his sneaky work makes him more honest than a insurance scammer is LOL

45 minutes about an issue that the the insurance company and the caller had agreed to go to the onbudsman on..???????

Just what exactly are the researchers thinking about?

Another big waste of time for all involved today. Except Joe.

Drinking to forget?

I half listened to this again on playback during the night. The whole Aviva thing was bizarre - she had a very specific point to make (there were aspects of the report that were factually wrong, and they want them corrected), yet Joe seemed determined to read out every single voyeuristic line in the whole report, one by one - and there were a lot of them. She kept dragging him back on topic, and he'd just read out another salacious detail. I'm surprised she stuck it out so long!

Drinking to hide the shame of being on Liveline more like.

Joe will have this on the show today, no doubt he will say that "we warned this would happen", when it was in fact some bloke crying on the radio whop warned it would happen, but Joe will bask in some of the credit no doubt.

Wasn't listening the last two days but it seems he will have a woman on who was in a hotel room last weekend and heard a man beating the crap out of his wife/gf and she did nothing about it, she wants to know what she should have done.

Ring the Guards? No
Ring Hotel management? No
Ring Joe Duffy a few days later? Yep.

Incidentally I saw a magazine in a shop yesterday, on the title page was "Don't call the Guards, call Joe Duffy." which is a sad but true statement for a lot of people, Joe's own comment was "we're the biggest show in the country."
