The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

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 mistakeComment

Originally 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
