    If HBOS being taken over means those smug adverts are off the TV it can only be a good thing. I expect next week he'll be sing about being on the dole.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        I want to make money out of lending money. Trouble is, I don't have any money, so I borrow money wholesale and then lend it to punters at a profit.

        Then I get greedy and realise, actually, who cares if I lend to bad payers or buy worthless assets, as long as I can sell on these debts to bigger mugs.

        After all, worst case, the tax payer will bail me out.


        Nice work if you can get it. Of course, we mustn't question the integrity or the value of the City must we?

            What's wrong?? If I replaced Jewish with Muslim /Scotish / whatever, they you'd found that funny, but mentioning Jesish always causes outrage!!!

            How many racist posts agains Muslims we have had on this board?? now one seemed to be bothered or shocked.

            Anyway, Historical Jewish loan sharking is a well known thing (not to other Jewish people of course, only for non Jews)

                  Hmmmm, you used the words 'integrity' and 'City' in the same sentence.

                    Jesish? Now that's a very antique term I haven't heard in a long time!

                    Jesish Cabinets, I actually have one in my garage. small about 2ft high and 14 inches wide. two doors with a knobbed handle and a drawer underneath.

                    Just thought I'd share that with you all

                    Confusion is a natural state of being

                      Codswallop is a word much underused, the youth of today with their rising Australian tonation and every other word being 'like' could do with a little codswallop.
