Would you be able to post this?  I’d love good feedback – however negative. I started a group a few weeks back called – Sell your stuff – Dublin Northside on Facebook.
My Goal – obviously its not financial – as I don’t make a penny out of it – but I know how hard things have gotten for everyone (myself included)…and my overall aim would be to not have to use these sites that charge €6 euro or more to post an ad – that it is free – as Facebook is the most used website in the world – this would be a cheap way forward.

 

Anyone?

What you may need to know.

1. Navan Man Pierce Brosnan doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He’s Remington Steele, and his performances in The Matador (2005) and Mamma Mia (2008) were absolutely fearless.

2. His performance of SOS in Mamma Mia  is one of the most jaw-droppingly magnificent things we’ve ever seen.

3. Oh, there was that whole Bond thing, too.

4. Love Is All You Need is a Danish production from Lars Von Trier‘s Zentropa productions. We’d love to see Pierce in a Von Trier flick.

5. Hey! It’s Martin from The Bridge! We call him the Danish Gandolfini.

6. Stick around for the movie news at the end of the trailer. NB: She’s speaking English.

Your euphemism of the day has arrived.

Those on the benefit would face moving on to means-tested jobseeker’s payments much earlier. This would see thousands of people receiving lower rates. The move is aimed at encouraging people to seek work, or what policymakers call a “labour activation measure”.

Meanwhile, UK MEP Sharon Bowles (above)  has said that Ireland has got a ‘raw deal’ in its bailout, compared to the agreement struck in Europe last night on the Greek debt crisis.
European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee chair said “morally” something had to be done for Ireland.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, she said the most obvious way was to do a deal on the promissory note, the means by which Anglo Irish Bank was funded.
…UCD Professor of Economics Karl Whelan, said the deal for Greece was in “stark contrast” to the “pretty unseemly haste” with which Ireland is being forced to repay the promissory note for Anglo Irish Bank.
Professor Whelan said Greece is becoming a model of how the EU is becoming more flexible in how it deals with debt of unsustainable levels.
