    Apparently sold on to another bank - it's an asset. Shame aint it?

          In the 7 years I've known him he's never once sent me an email like that. He works for one of the major players and is in a pretty senior risk role. I know what I'd be doing right now, and shares in Northern rock wouldn't be one of them.
          I'd be very reluctant to follow financial advice from someone who has to resort to working for income.

                Speculative punt was FORE Systems - £3bn... and paid cash aswell. Arnie would have at least made sure he kept his cash pile and offered shares as part of the deal.

                    But the prat left the heritage of forcing suppliers out of business by not paying on time.
