"I know that the majority in Britain are still opposed, but there is a period of consideration under way and the people who matter in Britain are currently thinking about it", he said.


Jose Barroso on the Euro and UK entry...er, the people 'that matter', Mr Barroso are the electorate...this sentence in essence sums up why many of us (not the two headed, UKIP, liitle englanders of which the 'liberal' media smear/label anyone who questions anything about the EU )remain deeply suspicious of european government...it's all about the 'elite' knowing what's best for us plebs eh.....I remain in the unconvinced pot

Substitute European for pretty much anything and it still rings true.

Westminster, Strasbourg, same **** different ****.


Having said that the pound is in freefall and the Euro may soon be the world's dominant currency.

Have you thought about changing your name to ????? ;-P

Touch? :))


On another matter can anyone check to see if there's any credibility to these figures?


"Incredibly, financial bailouts being approved in Washington now add up to $8.5 trillion, a figure beyond comprehension. ABC News commented: "In comparison, the total U.S. cost of World War II, adjusted for inflation, was $3.6 trillion. The bailout will cost more than the total combined costs in today's dollars of the Marshall Plan, the Louisiana Purchase, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the entire historical budget of NASA, including the moon landing."

Well this comes from a different perspective, and has world war 2 at $5 trillion with Iraq at $3 trillion.

Bear in mind both this and the bailout have been almost entirely funded by borrowing, the vast majority of which has been bought up by the Chinese, I wouldn't be throwing in my lot with that currency. Mind you, the pounds not looking any healthier if Gordon gets to solve all our borrowing woes by...err..borrowing lots more.

that won,t be a patch on the irish border towns, espicially the shopping mecca that is newry. its always had more than its fair share of shoppers from the south, but with the weak pound and the decrease in uk vat and the increase in free state vat, its going ballistic. as the old saying goes, newry is booming, only not literally this time.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
