Prices

[TheNads]

Yeah, yeah, I know this has been done to death.
I am only posting my feelings & not looking to start a whole new row with the escorts.
I will not see an escort who advertises a sterling rate for our Norn' Iron' friends & a vastly inflated rate for us poor, ripped-off southerners. I have just seen an escort advertising €260 / hr (£234) & £160 / hr. I know a lot of these girls have not amended their rates for some time & this doesn't reflect the reality with conversion rates. I also know a lot of girls know exactly what they are doing & it's opportunistic. The only way to change this is to boycott them, they'll get the message.
I don't save this boycott just for escorts, I won't shop at M & S, Argos & all the other British stores who gouge us. Stop whining & do something about it ! The power of 1 & all that. If we all adopt the same policies then this will stop.
The same way people in Mayo need to stop voting for those arrogant Flynn bastards, rather than adopt a "no one in Dublin's going to tell us who to vote for !" ignorant, inferiority fuelled attitude. They say you get the government you deserve & we deserve these c.nts because we keep giving them a mandate. It reflects a nod & wink attitude that I long to be something of the past. We've grown up in so many ways & yet we still let clientelism & cute whoreism govern us.
I know this has nothing to do with escorts but the issues are not unrelated. Like lambs to the slaughter we continue to pay what people charge & have a huge appetite for unethical leaders. Do you think the French would tolerate it ? No fuckin' way ! They'd be on the streets stoning M & S stores. What is it about the Irish psyche that allows people shaft us ?
All foreign people who trade here (including escorts) know they can charge more than they get in their domestic markets & we'll give it to them.
Escorts please don't start picking holes in this, I'm not for swaying. I'm just pissed off & disillusioned at the whole Paddy rip off & what it says about my compatriots. We're more guilty than the escorts because we continue to pay !

Rant over,

i think it is the right of the escorts to charge what they want.

but customers do have the right not to go to them also if they think they are too expensive. i see a few escorts have dropped their prices with the recession and greater parity between euro and stirling.

final point is that this is a forum so people should be able to make a reasonable point without being told what they are saying is boring.

Well said TheNads. You're a man after my own heart; not only do you support a good football team, but you have a similar attitude to the rip-off mentality that the celtic tiger fostered. I for one am glad that the beast has finally been slaughtered, this recession could be the best thing that ever happened to us in the long term.

I myself proposed a punting moratorium back in May or thereabouts to drive prices down in this business. But I totally agree with you, it's not just escorts, but a whole host of business sectors who rip us off compared to what they charge in the UK and elsewhere. But at the end of the day, a fool and his money are easily parted, and until those who have their brains firmly located between their legs can no longer afford to subsidise prices that would be laughed at abroad, we may just have to grin and bare it.

My theory is that the same w***kers are responsible for all our woes.....Fianna Fail and their buddies in the construction, property, and banking sectors; get rich quick merchants who made money and spent it like there was no tomorrow and without a care in the world for the effect that their greed was having on others. They are the same shower who are now going to the government to get the taxpayer to bail them out. Well, there are at least 1900 less taxpayers in Limerick now and 5000 less nationwide per week to bail them and their public sector cronies out of trouble.

What you say about the French is also correct. If we were living in France circa 1789, 1830, 1848, 1870 or even today, we would use the brains in our heads to find a solution and we would'nt have to think about it too long or hard either.

So shop around or as they say, let your fingers do the walking, use up some shoe leather, and go whereever you have to, to get the best price.

And just a final thought. Countless generations both here and abroad, fought and died, struggled, campaigned, protested, marched etc. for the right to universal suffrage. Use the power of the ballot box and whatever economic power you have wisely and effect some change.

Well I have just been communicating with a man known as Rodeoman - believe you may know him - like Clint and Nads pretty fast on the draw.

Well here is my plan ladies and listen up good. I like a good haggle and always prepared to make some allowances so here's the deal Jessie - we now ask for 5 times the original amount that we charge and then the haggling can begin What do you think ladies?

Formerly known as Hot Lizzy now I have chosen to call myself Ms Posh Nosh.

Liz, I said that it's the punters who are to blame. Read, digest & fuck off.
The arguments posted by numerous escorts re: extra costs here, travel, lodgings etc. are negated when they have different, lower prices for the north. I stay in Belfast regularly on business & know it to be even more expensive than Dublin for a hotel room. They have a shortage there & demand outweighs supply.
Charge what you like, just have parity between the Republic & north !

As for the revolution ? Well this time around it will be televised & when it succeeds I won't aim too high, I just want a ministerial post, at the average industrial wage. I think I'll create a new ministry & adopt the title of "Minister for revenge".
I'll immediately stop the demolition of the Ballymun tower blocks & instead re-house some people. Disable any lifts & toilets that still might work & give the Flynns a top floor birth, Bertie loves the ordinary, decent people of north Dublin sooooo much he gets the next door flat. I'll repatriate Denis O'Brien & his cronies from their tax havens & find a high up spot for them too. The bank executives cannot be overlooked, that c.unt Martin Cullen can have his choice of flat also, that Bishop Magee from Cork will be accomodated as will Ray Burke & all the property developers who erected the new, shoe box, slum appartment blocks in the last decade. All the pimps will be rounded up & given tents on the roof & Pat Kenny will be the janitor.
I'd welcome any more suggestions. There's lots of space to fill & if we have too many worthy people, well they can sleep in doorways until a place opens up.
We have forgotten how to protest & stand up & say no. The fuckin' students don't even march anymore, too busy readying themselves to get their snouts in the trough. That is supposed to be a time when idealism is rampant. I regret, not any more.

The bastards who have fed on us for the last 15 yrs are now back in their trenches, taking cover while those of us lucky enough to be left with a job pick up the tab.

Time to decide whether to lie there & get fucked or realise that the power of the people, speaking in a united,coherent voice cannot be beaten !

Best time for a coup is paddies day when all the bastards fuck off out of the country i would also make room for the doctors cunsultants and the other parasites who drove up the cost of living which then meant everyone needing higher wages which made us uncompetitive
