From Bondwatch:

Ah January, a new month, a new year, and a very happy month it’s going to be for the bondholders of Anglo Irish Bank (and let’s not any of us, please, start using its new nom-de-plume). A dead bank, a zombie bank, a bank with now just a single reason for its own continued existence – to pay Irish taxpayers’ money on its own failed bonds.

It started on Tuesday of this week, a mere €2,000,0000 paid out to a lucky US$ Bondholder, it continues for the rest of this month, five Anglo bonds in total including a €1bn ‘covered’ (by us) bond on Jan 22nd but culminating surely in the unsecured €1.25bn bond on Jan 25th.

From RTE:

Journalist and broadcaster Brendan O’Connor will be joined by another great line-up of guests this Saturday on The Saturday Night Show on RTÉ One for an entertaining mix of lively chat, comedy and music.

Just some of the guests joining Brendan in studio this week include Rachel Allen in her only interview following the controversy that emerged this week over hunting pictures of her posted on Facebook.

Julian Simmons talks about his career as a flamboyant and much-loved continuity announcer on UTV, his passion for the airline industry and his recent recovery from a quadruple heart bypass.

Twitter may literally explode.
