The fact that you are loving the whole thing?..when thousands of people due for retirement are seeing their pension pots dwindle through no fault of their own....pension pots that didn't have a lot in them in the first place might I add!Gelsons Dad said:blue monkey said:Hopefully they'll be a nice big Avalanche heading your way this winter...I'll be loving that!!...selfish fuckerGelsons Dad said:I'm loving the whole thing! It's not like I have a big portfolio of shares that are all worth fuck all now. Sit back and enjoy the ride, thats what I say. As for GB being the right man for the job, I spilled my G&T when I read that. :-)
Which bit of my statement makes me a selfish fucker?
the way i see it the rich are gonna get poor,which will leave me who's always been poor better off in relaton to them,resultPam said:WTF??????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Who agrees that this is the worst set of world leaders (so called) since the thirties? They are inviting disaster and something must be done.
I need to devote my time to worrying about City, not the bastard economy. I could do a better job than this. This is dreadful.

Thank god we haven't got those nasty tories in power. Imagine what a shite job they'd be doing compared to our Gordon!!!

I am physically shattered, I quite enjoyed 1993 when Sterling dropped out of the erm and even got a bit of a buzz out of black monday, at 41 I have come to the conclusion Im too old for this game.
The only bright moment came when i walked into the bank on thursday to fix my loan scared shitless that speculation against the kroner would lead to a spike in rates when i got the call that ecb had cut rates.
Iceland.....a year ago we were telling people to get out and stay out, and still they bleat when they lose their cash. Why the hell were they in icelandic banks....for a few bps of interest, this is the biggest flight to quality ever and no one knows where the quality is.

I went to Iceland a few times in the 90s. The whole place smelled fishy then and even more so now. The standard of living shot up in the last 5 years and now we know who payed for it. The rest of the world!!
Another plus to this is no-one will fall for that "i've got a few mill in a black account and need you to help me" scam anymore!!

Just us poor schmucks who get to pick up the tab while the value of our pensions and homes go through the floor; our chances of remaining employed diminish; the cost of living spirals; our taxes continue to rise and our public services continue to deteriorate if they still exist at all.
And still some of you think that Brown is the man to get us out of this... ~:-0 ffs wake up and smell the coffee. The man is directly responsible for leading us here in the first place. Him and his party.
I am not saying that anyone else would do better but I think its time to take off those blinkers boys. This lot are just as bad as the old Thatcher Tories were.

its got little to do with any of them, age old problem, people doing the trading are alot smarter than those trying to regulate them, thay cant regulate what they dont understand, see Nick leeson in this respect.
