Yes sorry it was a poor attempt at humour. I have been considering moving to NW, but a) are they really that different?

Everyone moans about the greedy bankers but not many do anything about it, they just keep filling the fat banker’s pockets.
They're laughing at us.

Why would they laugh at me? I'm no longer paying towards Fred Goodwin's pension, I'm not rewarding their reckless greed.Originally posted by ace00 View PostThey're laughing at you

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Ever feel youve been conned ?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
