Is it possible to do it privately, but obviously someone has to change the ownership on the share register. Can diageo do that via a letter from buyer and seller?

Also the rise of "bulshit jobs" whereby alot more people are employed in administration, health and safety, middle management but don't add any real value, they are required by maybe government directives or simply for pr reasons. All this adds alot of cost and also reduces the pool of...

That's why all the media talking heads were so fixated on the issue of tips and ensuring it goes to waiting staff, that's the only low paid job they would have ever done when younger. They were even questioning why tips should be shared with the chefs and cooks that were the people actually...

I think you are right, it looks like the example is totally wrong. Jane did not sell within 4 weeks therefore she is perfectly entitled to use that loss and carry forward into future

They might have passed the law to allow MUP but they don't set the price, that is being set by an unelected ngo organisation. That's the problem today the government has delegated alot of their powers and duties to unelected organisations funded by the tax payer.

As for the cheap wine in Spain you can blame the Irish government for that, high alcohol taxes and now MUP. I heard that the MUP price is up for review within a year. Obviously that means raising the MUP price again.This must be resisted enough of this imposing costs by unelected bureacrats

Why doesn't ireland have a double taxation agreement with european countries or at least the biggest ones germany and france like it does for the US where you are automatically given credit for US tax deducted, afterall ireland is EU country, we went to alot of rounds during brexit negotiations...

Another related question to this. I have a degiro account and I have a number of UK investment trusts in that account like City of London trust. However degiro have put these into a seperate category titled ETFs/Trackers and these investment trusts are in this category. My concern is that...

Also the reason why the Googles and the other highly innovative companies don't like WFH, they prefer to have people on site all collaborating effectively with each other. Even though it is these companies technology that has facilitated others WFH. Without the Googles and the Microsofts there...

That's typical public sector mentality, I am not going to do an iota of extra work even though I have got all this extra time, I am not going to give 1 minute extra to my employer even though they have given me this great benefit. This is now mine and the employer can get stuffed and all the...

Big change since that last post, stocks across the board up alot. It's actually not the tech stocks that are really performing but the old world stuff in Europe and UK that generates income now. Of course european stock markets helped by the new mega cap nova nordisk with their block buster...

You are wrong it is not a chip on shoulder thing, that's just a way to dismiss my argument. If you make one role completely WFH in an organisation and another role completely work on site, its obviously going to cause problems and is causing problems. It's distorting the whole jobs market...

They didn't make better choices, because nobody working in an office ever foresaw the WFH phenomenon, it was enforced by the covid lockdowns and has only remained since employees prefer it and because of labour shortages. Only in the IT skilled area was WFH seen as feasible before covid...

There was no collapse in sales during the automobile boom of the 1920s even though the new automobiles were undercutting the older more expensive models. People were not going back to the horse or steam engine because automobiles were too expensive or because many people thought steam or the...

And it is these large multinationals that have this wider role producing important products that are part of a global supply chain, this cannot be produced by WFH. These are the companies that are paying over 20 billion per annum into the Irish government tax take. Without that the government...

That's the aspect that's ignored by the WFH people, they only thing about themselves which is natural obviously. Most office staff do not work in exclusively office environment, they are there to facilitate the wider company which is not working from home and which may have shift workers who...

its the whole public service since covid, Working from home the explanation for most of it Id say

It's a bit like the water troughs for stream engines, they didn't need to stop to take on water, they just scooped it up from the water troughs between the tracks. By the time the steam engines were using this steam power was already past tense

Wouldn't work in Ireland with expensive labour, compo culture etc. The service stations would need a huge premises to facilitate this. Think about all the expensive and heavy lifting gear you would need to do this. No service station in their right mind would go for this, it's a battle just to...

Yes that's the one great thing about democracy it is self correcting. Most of the media and ngos were calling for more taxation and the government for the last decade has been following this mantra. Now with the looming election the politicians are actually listening to their voters and their...
