Hi all, Kerrynorth here. Sorry for the delay in getting around to posting up. Too busy shorting the ISEQ and making money over the last few days ( just for you Ard-T).

So who left the door open and let Ard-T slip in? Someone padlock the back door before his sidekick freedomlover makes his way over.

hahahahahhahahaha.

kerrynorth! Me old china plate! I missed going tete a tete on economic threads over the past 2 weeks with you. Ar aon nós, our economy remains strong through the global headwinds. Ultra-bears like Morgan Kelly of UCD have had to resort to spouting off in order to make a point. That Telegraph article was a load of nonsense and illustrates how Ireland remains the most dynamic economy of the Western World.

Let the UK, US and Switzerland have their bank failures, we won't! Our banks are brilliant!



Here's a nice cup of tea for while you're setling in!

Your really lucky that p.ie was down over the last two weeks. You would have been on the ropes with all the data.

Why didn't make it over to the pin?

Would not! I'm a long-termer! Average growth here will be fastest in the rich world out to 2020. Ask Deutsche Bank if you don't believe me. This month's or that month's figure don't mean much to me. Even Alan Ahearne of NUI Galway admits that the underpinnings of the Irish economy are OK and the troubles in housing are limited to 2-3 years.

I didn't join the pin because it is so depressing and I'd be lonely there. I'm happy to lurk and size up the opposition.

I've just been listening to Mary Wilson interview someone about the economy - didn't get the name but the gist is we're fcuked. Back to emigrating to the UK for the Olympic building, shoring ourselves up for the coming crisis, not changing the car (or buying a car), fewer holidays, getting rid of credit card debt before the inevitable happens.

Felt like they were predicting The Emergency.

They just didn't use the words 'tighten your belts.'

Ard,

apparently the compound on that cup is theophylline, which has the following effects:

• increasing heart rate
  
• increasing blood pressure
  
• increasing renal blood flow
  
• central nervous system stimulatory effect mainly on the medullary respiratory center.
  

Is there something you're not telling us?

Does it? I was looking for a china cup on Google Images and that was the only one which popped up in the results. Thanks for the chemistry lesson!

We have a new member called David. Has anyone offered him a cup of tea yet?

We should do it here. It seems correct that all tea should be offered through the medium of this thread. Machine Nation needs some traditions.

Do David agus Tonys. Cupán tae and perfunctory salutations

To use the parlance of this science-oriented forum, what's the chemical composition of that cup? It looks like it is in a transitory physical state from solid to liquid no doubt.

That cup of tea has never been and has no intention of existing but welcoming nonetheless

Hi, new member here!! Have been viewing your site since Saturday - arrived here via Cedar Lounge post on Sat. morning. Was a p.ie viewer for a while .... anyway, well done to the founders of this site and I look forward to being a part of it. Have no partic. expertise apart from interest in politics and a new-found interest in economics, esp how to get thru the next 2 years!

Oh ... mine's a cup of Twining's Assam with half a sugar and a dash of milk ... ta!

Atticus...Welcome.
I'll put the kettle on .

A man of taste, I like you already!

Here you go!



And the milk...

Mine is a nicer cup. I typed Assam tea into Google so it's actually Assam. Plus Atticus gets their own pot into the bargain.

And steam too?!! Oh i like this site already...... thank you.

( One quick serious point - i am trusting in the security and personal privacy of this site - my only half-lingering worry)

I feel like Anthony Hopkin's Da in 'Remains of the Day' im that slow up from the kitchen below

Jeez no fighting, i'm so not worth it!!

welcome ! regular-posting recent members are considered founders too so don't be shy. i'd like a spirit of participation here anyway and it'll stay that way until it ever gets unwieldy.

you must be an economics student so if you have to put up with it for the next 2 years?! you'll get no talk of equations here, however, sorry

Bit older than that Auditor #9, I'm afraid!!
have done the student thing a couple of times already. No, am Irish working in London in a bloody hard economic environment!

You're welcome, did you take your name from Cicero's half-Roman/half-Greek correspondent? I'd imagine a rarefied aristocrat like that would be very partial to a cup of Assam.

Then you must see a lot of nifty techie handy things in London. Like the robot train to Canary Wharf ...

Atticus, I am in Boston which has seen the departure of a lot of people, some heading to London. I take it the far away fields might not be a green as they hoped.
