Idiots and dolts trying to run a country get what they deserve. Someday your economy might rival Thailand.

Now Tex - lets remind ourselves here of your record verses mine on this:

In February you rejected any possibility of the financial crisis I was forecasting.

In June you were silent when I forecasted about the coming collapse of Sterling (which you are now crowing about).

So how do you feel about my forecast of US FED default and collapse of the USD? Think carefully, you have been wrong twice thus far...

Oh please. Give it a rest.

I could really care less about all currencies in the world except two. And neither of them are the pound. I've listened to your sky-is-falling mantra for months, merely saying it's a long overdue correction.

I'm not wrong -- you're just too full of yourself to see that it's a cycle. Same shit different year.

I'm going to go take a dump now ... Hope my wife has put in a fresh roll of British Pounds in the bathroom.

is that what you're reduced to using???

Just imagine the Queens face as she traverses,s Texpats arse, all those clinkers grinding against her mush!!!

Wasn't it last month that George Bush on direct television and with phone calls contacted mainly the European/Governments Central Banks begging them to inject billions of Dollars into the market to support the Dollar and the US economy in a few very hectic days where the Dollar/US economy was tethering on the edge of collapse, I understand it must be a chock for you Americans and that you to some extend have erased this embarrassing fact from your collective memories, but you are now on my country's list of Banana republic's having received economic aid in 2008, but you should not worry about it since we are used to pump billions into Africa, Bangladesh and other shit holes where the money is wasted or ends up in dictators personal bank accounts, the thing is that we can afford it since we have no foreign state debt and no national debt to content with unlike you.
You can sleep soundly knowing that US home-owners that have mortgages they did not qualify for in the first place (Ethnic minority's and trailer trash), wont loose their new homes because the European Tax payers is carrying the risk for them with rescue packets saving the Banks holding those sorry ass papers, now we could with some right use that paper the same way you describe you use Pound notes, but we don't, we have after all many hundred years of development and culture behind us unlike your Country who is still in childcare so to speak, so we cant expect you to behave like adults all the time.

So if you please could just restrain yourself to carry on the war on terror which is about the only good thing you are doing for the World at the moment it would be nice, but I suppose that will go down the drain as well when Hussein becomes President over there.

Kind regards from a friendly European ready to step in whenever you should need it again

Ahhh the benevolent Euro trash (err, sorry) tax payers footing the bill for American extravagance... again.

Last month it was a TD claim that Euro subsidies yielded cheaper cars to yanks and now you benevolent bumblers are footing the bill for our unemployed crackheads to live in blinged-out mansions.

If your claims are true, you're either really stupid or we're really lucky. Or both.

It had nothing to do with Euro banks trying to increase their profits, did it?

Where's that roll of pound-notes? You're dribbling.

Kickatinalong
Wed, 3 Mar 1999


The small country town of "Kickatinalong" is in terminal decline. The only bank has closed its doors, there is not a Quid, Deener, zak, or even a tray in town. The only people remaining are: The publican, a doctor, and a panel beater.


It is late one Friday afternoon when a stranger stops off at the pub; throws 100 Quid on the bar for a drink now and, wants the change in liquid form for a party next weekend.


Monday morning, while climbing steps to reach for the liquidity the stranger requested for the weekend; the publican slips and breaks his arm - he ambles over to the Quack and slips him the 100 Quid for some more solidity in his crook arm. The Quack fixes up the Publican and, now he has a few Quid to spend, he drops the Jalopy off at the Panel Beaters to get the drivers side door to open again. The Panel Beater - as is his wont when flush with a Quid or two - ambles over to the pub and converts the paper to its liquid form.


Stone the bloody crows, the stranger enters some time later, cancels the order for the grog, and gets the change from his 100 Quid back from the Publican!


I tried to figger out which of the locals won and who lost in that game, but had to concede to meself that nobody lost, in fact they all gained. I figgered thus: did the Publican get what he wanted, and paid for it? Yep, he got his arm fixed. Did the Quack get what he wanted, and paid for it? Yep, he got the Jalopy door fixed. Did the Panel Beater pay for his piss? Yep.


Well strike me pink I sez to meself. Blow me down if that bloody stranger did not hold the power of life and death over Kickatinalong for a few days! All he had to do was chuck a Quid on the bar and trade took off, but when he took his quid back and left town, then Kickatinalong allowed itself to die again. Strewth!

You got it well done.

Carry on with the pound notes, if somebody should be so rude to call you an a..h... at least you will be a genuine a..h... complete with watermarks and security thread

Have a nice day TEX

^I am almost tempted to leave you in blissfull ignorance, in fact I will.

Anyone who wants to know what IG Index and City Index are used for and have been for the last 15-odd years, pm me. We'll just keep Butterfly in the dark.

^ gee, I bet we can also PM you so you tell us about those hot tips where to buy a bridge

here is a tip for you: Futures Market != Gambling Site

You got caught red handed, once more

^The numbers on the futures market are alway identical to the Citi and IG spread, apart from when the statutory limits are reached on the futures market. When this happens, investors turn exclusively to IG and City to complete their positions.

Anyway, not giving any more away to you. Ignorance is bliss for some.
