    Excellent Charts … hence “Jigsaw” …. MUST see.

  2. They should be used to famine by now.

  3. Creative Destruction

    Do yourself a favor and stay away from Zombie Hotel!!! Room service is terrible and the Zombie maid is always trying to break in to clean your room ….. of BRAINS!!!!!!

  4. @Creative – very funny

  5. “Now, creditors have taken control of much of Carroll’s empire and the Glashaus is closed, as is the nearby 186-room Tallaght Cross Hotel.”

    He who lives by the counterfeiting cartel, dies by it. Yet what choice did they have? With negative real interest rates, caused by FRL, one must either borrow or be priced out of the market by others who do.

  6. * I just got back from a pleasure
    trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

    * I’ve been in love with the same woman
    for 49 years! If my wife ever finds out, she’ll kill
    me!

    * What are three words a woman never wants to
    hear when she’s making love? “Honey, I’m home!”

    * Someone stole all my credit cards but I
    won’t be
    reporting it. The thief spends
    less than my wife did.

    * We always hold hands. If I let go,
    she shops.

    * My wife and I went back to the hotel where
    we spent our wedding night; only this time I stayed
    in the bathroom and cried.

    * My wife and I went to a hotel where
    we got a waterbed. My wife called it the Dead Sea .

    * She was at the beauty shop for two hours.
    That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and
    looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

    * The Doctor gave a man six months to
    live. The man couldn’t pay his bill so the doctor gave him
    another six months.

    * The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying,
    “Mrs. Cohen, your check came back. ” Mrs. Cohen
    answered, “So did my arthritis!”

    * Doctor: “You’ll
    live to be 60!” Patient: “I
    am 60!” Doctor: “See! What did I tell
    you?”

    * Patient: “I
    have a ringing in my ears.”

    Doctor: “Don’t
    answer!”

    * A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge
    says, “You’ve been brought here for
    drinking.”

    The drunk says “Okay, let’s get
    started.”

    * Why do Jewish divorces cost so much?
    They’re worth it.

    The Harvard School of Medicine
    did a study of why Jewish women like Chinese food so much.
    The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won
    Ton spelled backward is Not
    Now.

    There is a big controversy on the
    Jewish view of when life begins. In Jewish tradition,
    the fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from
    medical school.

    Q: Why
    don’t Jewish mothers drink?

    A: Alcohol
    interferes with their suffering.
    .

    Q: Why
    do Jewish mothers make great parole officers?

    A: They
    never let anyone finish a sentence!

    A man called his mother in
    Florida ,

    “Mom, how are you?”

    ” Not too good,” said the
    mother. “I’ve been very weak.”

    The son said, “Why are you so
    weak?” She said, “Because I haven’t eaten in 38
    days.”

    The son said, “That’s terrible.

    Why haven’t you eaten in 38
    days?”

    The mother answered,

    “Because I didn’t want my mouth to
    be filled with food if you should call.”

    A Jewish boy comes home from school and
    tells his mother he has a part in the play. She asks,

    “What part is it?”

    The boy says, “I play the part of
    the Jewish husband.”

    “The mother scowls and says, “Go
    back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part.”

    Q: How
    many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: (Sigh) “Don’t
    bother. I’ll sit in the dark. I don’t want to be a nuisance to
    anybody.”

    Short summary of every Jewish
    holiday:

    They tried to kill us. We won.
    Let’s eat.

    Did you hear about the bum who walked
    up to a Jewish mother on the street and said,
    “Lady, I haven’t eaten in three days.”

    “Force yourself,” she
    replied.

    Q: What’s
    the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?

    A: Eventually,
    the Rottweiler lets go.

    Q: Why
    are Jewish men circumcised?

    A: Because
    Jewish women don’t like anything that Isn’t 20% off.

  7. New Idea from Basel …

    http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/0,1518,711589,00.html

    In German unfortunately, but …

    The guy (Dill) has an idea of how to get rid of the German National Debt …. Confiscation of 20% of all “private” assets.

    His simple-minded calculation is 1.7 Trio. Debt / 8.5 Tri. Assets means the Government could become debt free.

    Now that is a BAILOUT that beats TBTF doesn’t it !

    Found this ( in English ) on googling Alexander Dill :

  8. I walked into a travel agents the other day, and saw a poster of a beautiful tropical island,..I pointed to the poster and said the the travel agent,..
    I want to go there,…
    So he picked me up and stuck me up on the wall !,…..: )

  9. Just received my copy of Glen Beck’s official anthem, and couldn’t wait to share it with all my friends:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqk5of8LgLE&feature=related

    “The crops will burn if it don’t rain soon, ain’t seen a drop since the first of June, well I can open up the sky people have no fear,… if you ain’t impressed yet, just tell me what you want to hear…..”

    “Oh! I like that echo…goes right through my head…had that happen once, but it was chemically-induced. ” One…..two…….three….”

    Tell it Stevie, tell it.

  10. I went into a butchers and I said, ‘I’ll have a pound of sausages. ‘He said, ‘I’m very sorry, sir, we only serve kilos in here. ‘I said, ‘Okay then I’ll have a pound of kilos.’

  11. I went to the doctors the other day and I said, ‘have you got anything for wind?’
    So he gave me a kite.

  12. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1307756/Hero-husband-blows—trying-kill-spider-wife.html

    I can a test that its dangerous to live with idiots. Once (staying with a relative) who’s cooker had gone out with the gas still on, decided to light a scented candle to get rid of the smell. Upstairs seeing this about to happen I jumped from the top of the stairs and just in time managed to stop them lighting it, we both had nasty bruises.

  13. Come and see Ireland the haunted country, the land of the living dead and debt slave.

  14. I’m sitting on Banna Beach Co Kerry in glorious sunshine – all this talk of zombies seems like a million miles away from here.

    My house mate in Killarney (Ireland’s second most popular destination after Dublin) is a manager in three of the hotels there. Apparently, there’s talk of doing a ‘Michael O’Leary’ on rates for the hotels. Wanna use that hair-dryer?…. 5 euro, tv, that’ll be extra etc. Rooms may be brought down to rock-bottom prices (say €15 a night) as per the Ryanair model, and any sort of ‘luxury’ will be added on.

    Race to the bottom…

  15. And another thing – where the hell are the city/town planners? There’s far too many hotels here. Who’s overseeing the necessity for more hotels? It’s the same with the ‘building houses on flood plain’ scandal….on and on and on!!

    hic :)

    Dont you rememberthere was a tax break for building hotels?

  17. Ó ríomhphost a fuair mé. Suim ag daoine Gaeilge sibh amuigh ansin sa blogoshpere cuí dom.

    An-mhaith ann ó Fintan O’Toole alt san Irish Times Gaeilge. Mar vistor deireadh seachtaine go hÉirinn ar aer iomlán de unrealty leanúnach é fós ar snámh ar fud na tíre. Alt ón Irish Times i Dé Domhnaigh ag míniú conas caillte flaitheas na hÉireann a defacto mar gheall ar na gníomhaíochtaí de chuid an adminisration reatha agus tá os comhair féimheacht immenent agus tá roinnt againn ministir Finna Fail goon ar an raidió, ag míniú conas a n-aontaíonn siad leis an greenies buí i ndáiríre agus go bhfuil suim amháin i luach an íocóra cánach.

    Tá an próiseas beagnach críochnaithe, na húinéirí talún airgid is mó díobh sin sa lúibín móide € 100,000 ar ioncam agus nach raibh gá le cáin ioncaim a íoc mar na daoine beaga tar éis a n-taiscí agus ús usary de 5% móide as Angla a bheith déanta anois go sábháilte bhaint amach agus taiscfear iad i gcuntas bainc coigríche. Is é sin an áit a ndeachaigh an t-airgead Angla, ó na forbróirí chun na talún a thaisceadh sé ar ais i Angla.

    Bunaidh an chúis a thabhairt do na daoine beaga agus na turcaithe vótáil do na nollag FF go mbeadh a shábháil Angla creidmheasa 1.Relase do chuideachtaí agus 2. Ceadaigh clú Airgeadais na hÉireann a choinneáil slán mar becasuse a shábháil ar bhainc a bhí sacrosant agus córasacha ionas go mbeadh Éire ar aghaidh ag iasacht airgid ar na margaí idirnáisiúnta. An chúis a bhí fíor ionas go bhféadfadh na n-úinéirí talún a fháil taiscí as Angla.

    Mar do tá an líon 1 margaí creidmheasa i paralysis agus do líon 2 bhfuil muid anois ag Moddys inis agus an Times airgeadais go caillte againn ár gclú fincial idirnáisiúnta agus mar gheall ar rátála creidmheasa a bhfuil tacaíocht dúinn Angla. Tá an medicene proscribed maraíodh ar an othar. The Doctor agus a cronies atá fós ann seanmóir chaoi a bhfuil siad ag dul chun sochair do shealbhóirí a sheoladh amach ar an obair. Tá an Rialtas frightned shitless an daonlathais agus wont cead ag aon-toghchán. Cén fáth cant Fina Geal a fháil ar roinnt b ***** agus an rialtas a insint go Sonraí pairing bhfuil tharraingt siar go dtí an dáta a fhaigheann muid.

    Tá dócha 20 bn líne a creidmheasa ar chlé os comhair na comhlaí teacht síos le haghaidh dea-ar an talamh chomh sceirdiuil. An bhfuil muid ag dul a shéideadh seo ar mhótarbhealaí tógáil áit ar bith, a meitreo do na turasóireachta corr deranged agus eile bn 10 go NAMA agus Éire nó ar chóir dúinn a thabhairt dó an IDA agus Enterprise Ireland, na n-institiúidí ach amháin go bhfuil aon dóchas a thabhairt dúinn don todhchaí. Tá seirbhís Sibhialta tuarastail dhá ard agus go bhfuil an iomarca díobh. Consulants níos fearr a fháil ná aon áit eile seachas an Iorua. Murab ionann agus an Iorua nach bhfuil siad ag súil aon cháin a íoc ar a thuilleamh agus dont againn aon ola.

    Agus ás bearla anois…..

    Very good article from Fintan O’toole in the Irish Times. As a weekend vistor to Ireland a total air of continuing unrealty is still floating over the country. An article from in Sunday Times explaining how Ireland lost its defacto sovereignity because of the actions of the current adminisration and is facing immenent bankruptcy and we have some Finna Fail goon minister on the radio explaining how they agree with the yellow greenies really and are only interested in value for the tax payer.

    The process is almost complete, the landowners cash most of whom were in €100,000 plus income bracket and so didn’t need to pay income tax like the small people have taken their deposits and usary interest of 5% plus from Anglo have now safely been removed and deposited in foreign bank accounts. That is where the Anglo cash went, from the developers to the landowners who deposited it back in Anglo.

    The original reason given to the small people and the turkeys voting for a FF christmas that saving Anglo would 1.Relase credit to companies and 2. Allow Irelands Financial reputation to be kept intact becasuse saving a bank was sacrosant and systemic so Ireland could continue to loan cash on international markets. The real reason was so that the landowners could get their deposits out of Anglo.

    As for number 1 Credit markets are in paralysis and for number 2 we are now told by Moddys and the financial Times that we have lost our international fincial reputation and credit rating BECAUSE we backed Anglo. The proscribed medicene has killed the patient. The Doctor and his cronies are still there preaching how they are going to send benefit holders out to work. The Government is frightned shitless of democracy and wont allow any by-elections. Why cant Fina Geal get some b***** and tell the government that pairing arrangments are withdrawn until we get a date.

    We have probably 20 bn of a credit line left before the shutters come down for good on this godforsaken land. Are we going to blow this on building motorways to nowhere, a metro for the odd deranged tourist and another 10 bn to NAMA and Anglo or should we give it the IDA and Enterprise Ireland, the only institutions that give us any hope for teh future. Civil service salaries are two high and there are too many of them. Consulants get paid more than anywhere other than Norway. Unlike Norway they are not expected to pay any tax on their earnings and we dont have any oil.
