Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 4 and a half months after the general election and Ireland now has a new government. The two centre rigtht parties Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are joined by the centre right Green party in power. Míchael Martin takes over from Leo Varadkar as Taoiseach (PM) until 2022 when Varadker returns to power. The Greens will be annihilated again at the next election and are getting **** all green policies through in the program for government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It answers the old question about if a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? If a team wins the league, and there's no one there to see it, does it make an annoying whiny sound - conclusively yes But congratulations to them. Cracking side, excellent manager.

NurembergVillan Posted June 30, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2020 My lease car goes back tomorrow and for the next car I'm looking to buy something more modest - just take out a loan and go from there. I was offered (well, pre-approved) a decent-ish rate by Zuto, who advertise on AutoTrader, but the Mrs talked me into applying through a bank to see if I could get a better rate. I went through the full process and was approved by the bank at a rate far higher than advertised and higher than the "pre-approved" Zuto rate. If I don't want to accept the bank loan, do I just leave it? I haven't signed anything and I have 28 days to accept it. I'm worried it's knackered up my chances with the Zuto loan now too, with me having a search on my record. I wish the whole loan and credit card thing wasn't so cloak and dagger...

Might be worth ringing the Bank and speaking to someone. They can sometimes override the rate if challenged. Just say you've had a better rate elsewhere and it surprised you as I'm a loyal customer etc. You know, lay it on a bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth me trying it out though, so if they aren't a "computer says No" kinda set-up. I've always hated anything credit related. I think being a Brummie means you're born with a guilty conscience. I'm still surprised when I get approved for a new mobile phone contract! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Years back I got a loan online through my bank, then few months later I was in the branch and they managed to sit me down to see what they could flog me. The lady saw that I’d had the loan and said I should have called the branch directly I’d have got a better deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
