The way you'd RTE bang on that the economy hasn't been this bad since the 1960's or 1930's as they're suggesting more recently.

We still bemoan paying €50 to fly, well, anywhere with Ryanair and this is less than a quarter of today's dole pay-cheque.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142914827010036758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-74933206928845400622009-04-12T17:34:00.000+01:002009-04-12T17:34:00.000+01:00You should Ails.You should Ails.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-74285667684875492632009-04-12T14:53:00.000+01:002009-04-12T14:53:00.000+01:00fab post really enjoyed reading it .
