    hmmm...

    don't think we're heading that way... although it's very probable that we could. the thing is governments only concern themselves with at-hand problems and never really worry much about the future...

    but look at the bright side. today in the EU VAT carbon trading taxes are already VAT exempt, which is a step forward.

    i think we'd get there in the end. the thing is we're like a dying car, it takes quite some time for us to get started but we do start at some point. here's hoping.

    Wrong again.

    I pretty much limit it to insulting you. Mainly because you're a sad excuse for a human being and you deserve it.

    And you've never once produced a lucid argument on here. Talking rot and stating your ludicrous opinions as fact aren't evidence of a lucid argument, just evidence that you're a bit thick. Backed up with further evidence (Above) that actually you're a coward.

    HTH.

    I would hope that in 2010 we will begin preparation for the third loaf

    fingers crossed, second loaf will be the key

    especially in today's economic situation, infact the second loaf will be the test as to whether the model also works when the chips are down

    the key to it all however, is contracting, so fingers crossed for all of us that we are still in contracts next year

    hopefully by the end of the year we will have indicators as to the direction of the second loaf of bread
    Good luck with the benes plan b. Is it time to create a placeholder thread for the "third loaf of bread" announcement in 2010? When will all be revealed?

    O/S,

    the subject of the plan b is boring

    having a plan b is not the be all and end all

    anybody can have a plan b for plan b's sake

    the question is, will the plan b be profitable and offer future revenues and growth


    benes plan b is a fledgling company, get the second loaf of bread out of the way and I will be more satisfied/content that the model works, and that the first loaf was not simply a lucky break and one hit wonder

    hopefully by the end of the year we will have indicators as to the direction of the second loaf of bread


    what I want to say to all is..., if somebody on here talks big about their plan b, just ignore it, don't let it give you anxieties that you have no plan b, because, having a plan b does not mean that one will not throw an investment down the plug hole


    I wish everybody luck with their plan b's, and everybody who does not have a plan b don't worry, a plan b has more chance of losing you money than making you money

    secondly, if you do a plan b, get someone else to run it, don't whatever you do give up the contracting day job or even think about giving up the contracting day job until, the plan b can sustainably deliver more than the contracting returns, chances are, after your plan b has failed, contracting will still be there, but if you jacked in contracting to do your plan b then you will run the risk of losing your skillz

    decisions decisions eh

    Milan.

    Indeed, the economy of Ireland and it's welfare state is directly comparable to the economy of the USA (And Britain, and Europe) ...

    FFS, America barley has a welfare state. Let's not go into how ludicrous it is to compare the economy of Ireland with the US, Britain or Ireland.
