Sign on you crazy Diamond

[SupremeSpod]

How do I apply for Bob's job?

I will do it for half what he did.

Only one slight problem - I am honest. But I can work at lying...

You're improving already!

Hey NW , cheers for the neg - its not stirring , its a look in the mirror old boy.

Coming into our "woe is us we cant find a contract thread" telling us that the market was great is stirring. Apparantly the market we were all struggling in was so good because you can walk out of your current gig for another for more money.

Are you surprised I'm getting my teeth in?

Back on topic, I think Bob's had no choice in the matter.

What the heck has happened to our "system" over the past 5 years, police corruption in the L. Enquiry and now a suggestion that the whole banking system is corrupt.

All based on greed for power and money.

Mods, can we get the thread title changed to "Sign on you crazy Diamond"?

Of course.

"What has happened over the past 5 years" is that the endemic corruption that has always been present in the police and the banking system has become public knowledge.

Don't let the door slam you on the arse on the way out.

Bob Diamond - the latest in the long line of banking's scapegoats.

Diamond by name...

hahaha and he said he won't go!

Bring on criminal charges now

And the Government have chosen "now" to give the banks a split lip and are using public opinion to lay the mighty blow.

I felt with him at the helm Barclays had a chance of challenging the American IBs.

Oy, it's cheapskates like you that bring the rates down.

I'll do it for 30% more than Bob Diamond, with a guaranteed bonus of 10 million plus a guaranteed golden parachute of 55 million.

Now then, where's Dodgy Agent? Tell me what lies you need me to put in my CV and there'll be a 20% cut for you. By the time anyone finds out, we'll be too rich to care!
