Geniunely thought I had logged onto the wrong forum as that economics lecture of a post was the first thing I read on this thread.....
Come on now, describing that as an "economics lecture" is violating every description code.
whoops that waas a copy and paste error, meant for an email to an actuary mate, who is even more obnoxious and self-righteous than geysir, but in fairess he has the substance to back it up and is a very smart lad.
geysir i hardly think you are in a position to be commenting, an Irishman in Iceland ;-)
But if you do want to learn something about economics, ill be sure to educate you.
I'm a humble man of great integrity and free of debt, just like John O'Shea. Are you sure you could educate me in economics?
Fixed that for you there geysir...:DQuote:

Good question, I don't even remember(or think)i did edit it, but I did get an email back from my mate saying "What has John O'shea got to do with the Irish economy" :)Quote:

And I knew a Paul O'Shea who lived in Chicago for a while. They sounds oddly similar! If its the same person then he's slightly odd but fundamentally decent fella and that's not a bad thing.
Well the average Irishman would be happy with that, more so the average Icelandic, so for an Irishman in Iceland, thats a very healthy position. I hope none of that debt free status was tied up in Landsbanki though :) As a matter of interest how did you vote on that? Were you in the 58% who said no, as I assume you are a taxpayer there, to paying back the £3bn or so that was invested by the dutch, english etc?Quote:

I would have charged them a lot less mind :)
introducing John O'Shea, the highest paid Irish athlete.
More than Padraig Harrington? Not sure about that.
edit: I guess it excludes endorsements so that makes sense
read the article. It explains it.

POSH you need to start thinking about your 10,000th post. It needs to be something bold, historical and witty. A real Kuan Yew Lee job. Most of all, you must rally the troops here. Too much anti POSH lately. You have a great opportunity though. My liver will explode long before my 10,000th. (perhaps mercifully.)
McWilliams has used all the good stereotypes. What will Paul use? "Forum user man"? "Shamboy"? "Bohs-denier"*?Quote:

If employing them as barmaids got round the salary cap, they'd pack the squad with them.Quote:

Picked up a knock and went off just after half time. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
edit: nope, Fabio played right back the entire match.
He was listed as a right back in the team sheet, but now having watched the game myself, you're right. He couldn't even make it through fifty minutes before getting hauled off though!Quote:

Yeah, I have this PVR thing that lets me fast forward through most of the match. In injury time now. Next up the Liverpool game.

He's top of the pops is our Johno. unless they're talking about yer man from GOAL? ;)
Been done, however looking at that again... Jesper Gronkjaer is Greenlandish?
And to think I thought he was just a plain ol dane.
Had never known that. Maybe worth a page or ten in the eligibility thread? :pQuote:

interesting... I'd say people in india should start knocking a ball about... and if that's the top sporting salary in Vietnam... hmmn i guess i could live there comfortably.
Jaysus he'd be an absolute Rock in their team!Quote:

Do keep up, Danny :D
How many times has he captained United before? Are you sure he hasn't done so on at least one occasion in Europe prior to tonight?
O'Shea in the Kilbane role tonight.
