Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Can't remember hightone all that well, but i think he came to a couple of meets.

I wasn't nasty to Urby - he gave me a mention in the column once too. Described me as "Gausie, a man who has not allowed his success to go to his clothes". I also once bet him 100 (for MacMillan) that he couldn't get the phrase 'Gausie Rocks!' into his LBC interview. I paid up despite him actually saying something like "I bought US stock Xerox last week, which I'm hopeful about. Go Xerox!"

lol Gausie , I told him to buy some company and hold on to it for a more than 10 minutes. It was his biggest winner of the month I think (probably only one).

I can't find the original thread , looks like it's been pulled.

For the benefit of the gang >
You got mail Cay was advised by Carol not to respond to the stuntand still the file grows!

Although any action taken by The Americas Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will I am sure me harsh, the damage done to Goldman Sachs reputation (for what it was) will be far more reaching and longer lasting.
My hope is that those responsible will get jail time. The way the authorities are going in the USA I hope that 'if found guilty' that will happen.
Shame!

Greekmanodds on Goldman will arrange a settlement with RBS [knowingly stitched ABN Amro/RBS $841ml] and others that were hitof course the condition will bethey come out of the scandal looking like Mother Teresa

It would be nice to thunk so, but I doubt it, greek. What baffles me is just how these guys make so much money in such a short space of time. Is it real money, or illusory profits based on valuations of "socially useless" products? No doubt the bonuses are real. If I was one of their clients, I would be looking hard to see how I was being ripped off big time. Guess in truth I am really just envious!

Hi Tabasco/Partridge,

You are probably right, although the USA is getting tougher on Fraud which this is.
There may also of course be institutions that take their own civil actions.

Still, it's a wait and see.

As it is officialVolcano ash can damage plantscan I claim off the Government.. if my Rhododendrons and such like get damaged?Willie Walsh seems to think he has a good case.and his planes add to polluting the atmosphere

The FSA are set to launch an immediate inquiry in co-operation with the SEC. over the Goldman 'Fraud'that should get us to a Jacques Clouseau standard?

'Promiscuous women are responsible for earthquakes, a senior Iranian cleric has said.

Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi told worshippers in Tehran last Friday that they had to stick to strict codes of modesty to protect themselves.

"Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes," he said. '

Which finally gives us the answer to the age-old question "Did the Earth move . . ."

The Government is considering taking over the running of Doncaster Council.
Doncaster Councillors were described as 'venomous, vicious and vindictive' and irresponsible for widespread 'bullying and harassment' of officers, also in the late 1990's, 23 councillors were convicted of corruption and fraud over expense claims.

So a venomous, vindictive and irresponsible council whose members were found to have 'fiddled' their expenses are to be run by a department of this government that according to leaked e-mails are venomous, vicious and vindictive' and irresponsible for widespread 'bullying and harassment' and have been found to have fiddled expenses.

Pot, calling Kettle, Lunatics running Asylum comes to mind.

You really couldn't make it up.

I have heard it all now MightyMicro ,, however some women i can think of could cause earthquakes .

Greek,

Careful, there has been pot calling on this thread!

Just heard on the news that Airports are having teams of Councillors standing by in case anyone needs counselling due to the trauma of flight delays.
What next, passengers being offered compensation for PTSD, bloody pathetic.
Not saying they should be denied compensation re monetary losses.

I am thinking of claiming compensation from the wife for the effects of her PMT on my quality of life? Any suggestions of what compensation I should claim?

Looks like Nick is in for a rough time in the next leader's debate!



Lib Dem donors paid money into Clegg's personal account
By Michelle McGagh | 09:02:35 | 22 April 2010

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg received payments to his personal bank account from three party donors, according to a report in The Daily Telegraph.

Clegg, who is currently enjoying a surge in popularity following the first live TV debate where he slammed MPs involved in the expenses scandal, is likely to face questions about the donations which he said were not used to fund private expenses but subsidised his parliamentary work.

Businessmen Ian Wright, senior executive at Diageo, KPMG head of public affairs Neil Sherlock and Michael Young, a former gold mining executive, all paid money into Cleggs account. Records of the account seen by the newspaper show each of the three men paid up to 250 a month to Clegg.

Alistair Graham, former chairman of the committee of standards in public life, told the paper the arrangement was irregular.

Given that hes been very holier than thou about these things, it would seem he has some explaining to do to his party and the electorate, he said

Not as holier than thou, as Wisteria Cameron.

Tim.

Your wife is complaining about your PMT on another thread!

Am I mistaken or did I hear that the one with the "stage" gangster name....is going to give an amnesty to all the illegals ?.....nuts...round them up and let's have some chain-gangs...before deporting them !.

RF my interpretation was the amnesty was on a condition that they became normal working tax paying citizensand disclosed all evidence and knowledge to capture the gangs that traffic the immigrantsyou would never catch all those already illegally hereso it sounds like the best option?I cant think of a better one!
