Arsegravy for the first few! My new hummus recipe seems to eject the same as it goes in though. :smt080

lol! That brings back memories of LLS's grand plan on a fag packet!

It just keeps the wheels spinning which is better than nothing happening. Keynesian theory is of course mocked by free marketeers who know better... oops!

Two options, neither good. 1. Banks are allowed to fail and so does wider economy, businesses etc. Citizens get hit with lost jobs, savings, pensions, houses etc. 2. Banks are helped by state intervention even though they are not worthy of it in many cases. Possibly means citizens keep jobs, savings, pensions and houses. But taxpayer will be hit down the road as government will need more cash to pay interest at least on extra state debt burden until economy recovers. Second option is marginally better than the first though has no guarantees. The merchant bankers who made hay for the last 20 years and are now out of the system are the bastards who have won despite setting up this particular fall.

This is a good post. I also have a friend who is a risk manager in the City for a Canadian investment bank. Despite the fact that Canadian banks have been more conservative generally he tells me they are in trouble in two ways: 1. Affected by general credit crunch and business slowdown which has seen them fire 400 traders over the past few months. 2. Lending to other institutions they thought were robust but which have subsequently lent money on again in more speculative circumstances for higher returns. Some of these are now bad debt.

Lol at Oz. One of the "funniest" posters on this forum!

It's probably about 20 years old at that price so her bum will be even bigger now.

This is going to cause big **** but I have no doubt the plan put forward was creaky because of the speed of it.

Air Traffic Management issues will prevent any expansion of Biggin Hill, let alone planning battles!

Personally I never bet unless I know more than the rest about the market. I bet I'm right about Long Shot's win... Any takers?

How about 2-0 Saints win with Surman to score? :cool:

What might you bet on at a football match?

It's a non-starter as there is no advantage in it for us.

Bonkers Boris' barmy plan has been ridiculed by all and sundry in the industry so I'm guessing that's a non-starter.

I haven't tried cat claw covers as I think it's wrong. Just IMO. I think most pet shops sell sofa arm guards, that's where I got some from anyway. They don't look brilliant as they don't match the sofa but I just take them off and boot the cats out into the kitchen if I have guests! A DIY method that also works is put packaging tape on the sofa arms as they hate it and you can peel it off with no issues afterwards.

Wouldn't touch them mate. Deffo not right for the cat. Probably give them some complex so they then end up peeing everywhere inside which is worse. Get sofa arm guards instead.

Apparently algae is the way ahead! Bugger knows where all this algae for jet fuel will be grown. We'll all be living in swamps.

They all have shareholders to pay... I believe the brand patent lasts 10 years but don't know how price levels are agreed.

What are these stories about PCTs refusing to pay for drugs about then? I believe some are sanctioned by NICE too. Mind you, the drug companies are greedy bastards.

Done. Hope you are suitably grateful!

That's what the Tories say anyway. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7641094.stm Can't say I believe the Tories as I think big business would put too much pressure on. Though I like the idea of high speed rail. But don't believe them on that either. Vote scavenging opportunists!

And voting for extreme right wing parties. Don't forget that Alps!

Free in Wales, to be free in Scotland and NI. England charges. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7641637.stm

I and many others have no problems with the views held by Sundance. The objections exist because of the offensive and juvenile manner in which he posts.

Hilarious from Sundance. Can I suggest that you yourself then stop posting with infantile names for people such as Chav in the Chapel, Sundance. As it stands you have all the credibility of Comical Ali!
