good question WCL. 600 jobs went in Waterford today alone.
i suppose i'm being a bit reckless lately. this downturn is unprecedented,
i'm passed caring if i survive or not.

if the bank want their concrete box, they can have it.
my life, as i live it in the now is what counts and to escape for a half hour with a
young lass is a coping strategy, although i'd prefer a bag of green. life in ireland has been
bleakville for too long.

Before I go any further let me emphasize that this is not an escort price thread but with the constant bad news with the economy and cutbacks in Government spending and increased charges and taxes everywhere you turn what do you have to sacrifice elsewhere to still go punting?I ask this as someone who has had to give it up as I no longer have the spare funds.

I feel for ya, WCL. As Ksteve has said, I hope things improve for you soon.

I have cut back significantly over the last 18 months, but I would go crazy
if I didn't have the occasional liaison with a 'female type person'.

I gave up the drink a couple of years ago, never smoked and have never really
dined out apart from special occasions. I'm self employed and seem to be working
much longer hours, for the same money I was earning in the good times.
But I'm lucky that I still have work and my health.

Well I havent punted in a month and its doing my head in so I can only imagine how you must feel.

Cut back on the beer & am trying to quit smoking AGAIN.
Business isn't exactly booming, but it's pretty busy and steady.
Both reasons give me the funds to generally make 2 or 3 visits per month.

Thats a bad situation paul. I wish you the very best and I hope things improve. Are there no places you can meet like-minded ladies ?
