on that note...

i've been making my way through this in the last couple of weeks.

the section on the great depression goes like this: american housing crisis; american stock market collapse; recession spreads through the real economy; spreads from there to most of the rest of the world; hitler; world war 2.

I'm paid fortnightly so just got hit with my first full deduction... Time to downsize this server to a 486, I think.

It is a lot of money to be down. Isn't it up to 250euro for people a month? that's your gas bill or esb. It's a lot.

 

[pete]

More than that. The lowest i've heard anyone being stung for is €85 a month after tax.

I don't earn any money so I'm grand. I don't even get the dole because I am/was self-employed.

Go me.

Diddles - you may still be eligible for the jobseeker's allowance or even supplementary welfare allowance even though, as a self-emplyed person, you don't qualify for jobseeker's benefit.

My union voted against the strike - bunch a pussies.

I've never seen people so nervous about a budget. Everyone I work with are panicing for their jobs. I'm in the voluntary sector and in fairness 62% cuts are proposed for some agencies.
