Not bad, €900 a day I earned!<br />Thank God that Celtic Tiger era is over!Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100985140335023467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-32305329850258912472011-07-22T16:21:21.298+01:002011-07-22T16:21:21.298+01:00Eddie, I'm so glad to be back here, reading yo...Eddie, I'm so glad to be back here, reading you, and I apologize for being absent so long.<br /><br />How could you possibly deal with a customer of that sort?
