    Seconded.

    About as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, or an ejector seat in a helicopter.
    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    I boil myself an egg for breakfast, then use the same water from the saucepan for my tea. And the little drop that's left over, I use to work up a lather for my shaving.

    Only go for a dump in work, save a fortune on bog roll.
    Nothing will motivate the lazy / apathetic / Americanised / west-British types to embrace their culture and the Irish language.

    I have adopted the bankers code of not getting ripped off.

    I only spend/gamble with other peoples money and if/when it all goes tits up I will get on the blower to the goverment and "bobs your uncle, Sallys your aunt" and away I go again.

    Its like the perpetual motion of "money management" and every "bankers" a winner.

    And now altogether(sing) "Its a hard knock life"..."but the banker does not suffer strife"

    I've started bringing in a packed lunch and coffee I made at home. Saving loads.

    I've taken to nicking bog roll, it's so easy.

    Attempt to renegotiate mortgage, phone (landline & mobile) & digital TV service. Service suppliers still count on the fact that once they've roped in a customer, they're unlikely to leave. This can be seen with service suppliers advertising bonuses to new customers, but not extending the offer to existing customers. Often, all it takes is a call! Shop around - especially at insurance renewal time!
