Default Celebrate the First Annual Donie Cassidy Day!

First Annual Donie Cassidy Day | Facebook

"April 10th 2009 will mark the first anniversary of Donie Cassidy's prediction that house prices will rise between 25% and 30%. He promised to return to the Senate and remind everyone that "He told us so".

All true Irish patriots will want to mark this great day, and celebrate the 38% to 44% house price increase that must happen between now and then.

The First Annual Donie Cassidy day will fall on a Friday, so you might want to start thinking about taking a long weekend.

Suggested Events for the first Annual Donie Cassidy day:

* Host a charity breakfast and ask for donations of 25p to 30p to symbolise the increase in house prices.
* Wear a T-Shirt that's 25% to 30% too big.
* Spend 25% to 30% more for your lunch that day.
* Drive on the right hand side of the road for a day."

Who could have possibly have seen the international credit crisis.

Er... lots of people? My dad predicted it years ago, and he left school at 13. And I told all and sundry that it was no different than the bubble that popped in the late 80s in Thatcher's Britain, where friends of mine were nearly wiped out by it.

The international credit crisis could not have prevented our housing market from crashing before this.
Last April house prices had dropped substantially and were only heading 1 way.

Sorry but gombeeism with the likes of Cassidy cannot be tolerated

Its a healthy sign for our democracy , that a state representative has the freedom and indeed the courage to talk up the market . We need more like him .

He wears a very bad rug, and a pioneer pin. He also famously said that we should drive on the right hand side of the road, to facilitate immigrants. In short he is the main man plonker among a tribe of plonkers. In fact the word plonker was invented with this cretin in mind.
