Mercer place Dublin 21st

category international | consumer issues | news report author Monday June 14, 2004 19:36author by jeff Report this post to the editors

-City tops high for cost of living

Mercer Human Resources firm released their survey that places Tokyo as the world's most expensive city. Dublin gets the rank of 21st, a massive jump from being placed at 73 in the space of a year!

Click on link and dwnld their pdf file that lists such. Thanks FF/PDs, we are all waiting for this trickle down effect, it would sure beat having four euro in change after paying the rent and getting the shopping.

Mind you, being poor can give one the incentive to try new things, like home brewing and setting up an illegal shebeen. That is, if you can manage to fit all three customers into your average Dublin beds*it.

Too bad that you are some artist type that expects everything to be handed to you on a plate. You would have our wonderful vibrant liberal economy turned upside down just so you can live in a place that wouldresemble the dregs of Amsterdam.

Contribute something to our ancient genepool; hang yourself. Liberal weaklings like you that complain should be shot.

Good strong men with a healthy social darwinian conscience brought this country up of it's knees. I live in a comfortable, 16 bedroom house in Dalkey, because my father worked hard and pressed the right flesh.

Dammit man, show initiative, and set up your own business. Then you will be able to taste the delights of 21st century Dublin.

You must earn it first, though.
