        Did you see it when it kicked off in the City in May 2003? The "anarchists" got a right pasting from some traders.
        I was on a trading floor during the riot(year escapes me) an yes after photocopying £50 notes and chucking them out a group of crusties burst into the lobby to whit half a dozen traders went down and laid into them. But then again, a group of IT nerds could have done it

          None, happily; if I have to get a criminal record I'll find someone more worthwhile to smack than that lot.

              I think I'd join in with the crusties given what I know now.

                I particularly enjoyed the way you humbly accepted my comment and only picked me up on spelling.

                    I couldn't give a **** about your spelling, I was highlighting your lack of credibility.

                      You are a mental midget. You use expletives in more or less every sentence you type.

                      Are you really angry about your micro penis?
