Irish leader Brian Cowen trousers US$341,000.

The Times has recently reported a list of the top ten politicians in the world according to their pay. I was surprised to see the Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen getting the equivalent of US$341,000, which is quite a bit above our Gordon Brown with the equivalent of US$279,000. The Republic of Ireland is in pretty dire straits financially while we in the UK have yet to confront the reality of our problems. It does not look like that Cowen and Brown are on any type of performance related pay, which is a shame.

According to official UK government figures the Eastern European migration is reversing, which reflects the slow-down of the economy. The lower pound does make Britain a less attractive place for incomers. This migration helped boost the Irish and UK economies initially but I don't think there was much provision for extra school and hospital places. In Ireland they are cutting teachers and something is going to have to give in the UK because massive educational expenditure is not producing the desired results in terms of a well-educated workforce. The "neets" (the existence of which helps fuel the need for Eastern Europeans) are a massive problem and a blot on the premiership of Gordon Brown.

The trousers come in different styles based on the material. The Moleton pants or trousers offer much elasticity than other stuffs. Moreover, tight trousers have much to do with the age. The skin-tight trousers seem good on young girls, and middle age women. However, for those females who are less fit, and older women, the design may not match the body structure.
