I've just been reading an article on world debt..
apparently, Ireland has the largest Gross private sector foreign owned debt as % of GDP in the world... 900%.. Malta are 2nd with 481%, then Singapore 465%, then Britain are 4th with 364% of GDP... man, I thought we were in a tight corner!!
Yeah, we're banjaxed!

well, that is more than our war reparations loan we took out with the US in 1946, and we paid the final installment in 2006...

I will be very interested to learn what you make of it Fergus as I have started
listening to that Beethoven cycle too and to Abbado's Schubert cycle. I'll say nothing lest you consider me biased.

I´m almost sure our dear friend Fergus KNOWS that we are biased to Abbado, and I don´t mind to declare myself a fan :-)
