At least you’re getting paid dude.
We do this for nothing.
And you could be working for ‘Clevver TV’:

Last night Chompsky wrote in his schoolbook French to Stephane Régy, editor of So Foot, the magazine which conducted that interview with Stephen Ireland. Chomps wanted to know if the magazine had a recording of the meeting with Ireland, who has since claimed he was misquoted.
Bonsoir Stephane Régy,
Je travaille pour un site web (un journal) www.broadsheet.ie et je fais un article de l’interview avec Stephen Ireland. Je voulais savoir si vous avez l’enregistrement de cette interview? Je
serais tres obligé de me répondre.
Merci d’avance,
Chompsky
At midnight last night Monsoir Régy, possibly unaware he was corresponding with a badly drawn cartoon dog, responded:
Bonsoir Chompsky,
Merci pour votre message. Oui, nous avons bien l’enregistrement decette interview, qui confirme les propos de Stephen Ireland – lequel, si vous lisez bien ses réactions depuis la publication de l’interview, n’a jamais dit qu’il ne les avait pas tenus…
Bien à vous
Stéphane
Translation: “Thanks for your message. Yes, we have for sure got the tape recording of the interview which confirms Stephen Ireland’s comments. If you read what he said since the publication of the interview, he never said that these weren’t his words.'”
Chompsky has now asked for a transcript of the interview.
More as he gets it.

Taken literally about an hour ago in Helsinki.
Taoiseach-elect Enda Kenny with Finland’s Finance Minister Jyrki Katainen, who is hosting a meeting of the conservative EPP group of the European Parliament. Which must be nice for him.
Meanwhile, a shot from the EPP photo stream:

THE NATIONAL Asset Management Agency (Nama) may have to consider lending to property buyers to kick-start the flagging market, according to Steven Seelig, one of its board members.
Mr Seelig, a former senior official at the IMF, said Nama might have to offer loans to property buyers, including residential homes, to stimulate sales as the banks are not lending on property.

Let us consider the following:
Lenihan told the Dáil in December that the bank – which has received €3.5 billion from the Government and is 36 per cent State-owned – paid no performance-related bonuses for 2009.
In fact, the bank paid more than €66 million in bonuses from September 2008 to December 2010, the department’s inquiry found.
So Bank of Ireland boss Richie (picture above, after stealing that lady’s dentures) and his team gave the government the wrong steer. No biggie, we’re used to this sort of stuff. So what do they suggest as compensation?
A few sackings? A public statement of remorse?
Yes, they’ve offered money. €2 million in fact.Which means.
They are compensating the government for misleading the government using money the government gave them.
