The fool he made of himself over the Aus$ / sterling contract value question will long be remembered as a Cretinwatch classic.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Fixed that for you Greg, for, as you know, saying you are paid in pounds, and converting it to aussie dollars, means you lose out over the years he discussed.Originally posted by speling bee View PostThe fool I made of myself over the Aus$ / sterling contract value question will long be remembered as a Cretinwatch classic.
But of course, you are too stupid to realise it, even aussielover admitted making the mistake. The fact you backed him up to the inners of his rectum made it all the more enjoyable.
You're a funny one, still cannot understand you were wrong, even aussielover has long admitted to his mistake

I think he topped it with the acrostic insult thread especially as he'd made such a massive hoo haa about his abilities the previous week.Originally posted by speling bee View PostThe fool he made of himself over the Aus$ / sterling contract value question will long be remembered as a Cretinwatch classic.

I am surprised there were wrong answers.What a fookin cretin.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostAnyone who works in pattern matching would be able to spot that in seconds. It's acutely easy to be frank.

I don't think we'll ever see his like again when it comes to idiocy combined with lack of self-awareness.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostFTFY
Just for the audience, explain fully how you were correct about the currencies.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

FTFYOriginally posted by speling bee View PostI don't think I could have imagined the level of idiocy combined with lack of self-awareness I showed.
He said, paraphrasing, I am smart, for my contract is in sterling, and I convert it to Aussie dollars. I pointed out that thats not clever, as a better one, would be to contract in aussie dollars and convert that to pounds, considering that the pound has been devaluing against the dollar. Thus, if you are paid in aussie dollar, your rate 10 years ago, would be worth more today, in pounds.
An example I used, was if you earned A$1200 a day 10 years ago, it would be worth £400 a day. However, if you earned A$1200 a day today, it would be worth £700 a day.
However, if you earned £400 a day, it would be worth A$1200 a day 10 years ago, but only A$700 today.
Thus, the best contract to negotiate 10 years ago would be in Aussie dollars, not in pounds.
But again, you are too dumb to realise it.
He even admitted he fooked up.
But carry on Greg, I kind of like the way you light up the stupidity ranks.Comment
