I would have sent all Level 1 Bankers and above to Afghanistan and dished out their bonuses to all Squaddies below the rank of Lieut. Colonel.

What you've posted is near verbatim how the post went, and the last point is a clear Americanism.

Link or STFU. Talking bollocks.

Suity at the pub.

So I split the demographic down to (Excluding children)

20% Unemployed.
30% Retired.
50% Working.

Of the 20% Unemployed, half would have gambling or substance addictions.

Will this do:

'Simple' solution to the economic crisis would cost more than three times the national debt | PolitiFact Rhode Island

Or perhaps you prefer Snopes:

Of course, I'm sure you can find numerous edited and localised examples on the Internet, should you wish.

So where do those "Verbatim" quote my Americanism?

Not done yet my friend.

The only slight flaw in the gobtulipes argument is that his link only deals with an early retirement plan, whereas in my rented friends scenario everyone over the age of 18 got a slice. No mention of the welfare state, state pensions, medical insurance.

It really only covers a fraction of my buddy's grand master plan, so no, it is not plagiarism on his part.

My only concern is that VW is too stupid to comprehend this, and continues to litter this thread with his spazzy ramblings rather than dealing with the topic.

I love it. As I rarely go out to the pub these days (working too hard, demands of the brood etc etc) I do like a nice bit of pub bultulip.

Last nights episode comes right out of the top drawer, from none other than my bezzie mate.

This absolute gem, went something like this :

"I think the government could have handled the banking bailout differently. I mean they just handed tax payers cash to the banks, and they still paid bonuses and did what the hell they liked. What I would have done is give everyone a million pounds on the proviso that :

If they have a mortgage, they pay it off (thus helping the banks).
If they don't have a mortgage, they buy a British car (brand new) thus helping industry.
If they are on benefits they can't claim any for 5 years.
If they are retired they can't claim state pension for 5 years.
They have to take out medical insurance."

I obviously ripped this to shreds and in the end he was a mere shadow of his former idealistic self.

Just wanted to see what the panel make of his idea. As a thought experiment it whiled away a few pints quite nicely.

What is wrong with this? I suggest they move the house of Commons to this pub.
