I see... & will your utterings be like the bubbles emanating from his posterior as he settles in?

Back to your public sector non-job. It's paid from my taxes you know. There is no magic money tree.

Brexit is easing the UK into recession like an old man lowering himself into a hot bath]

I think you were more likely wrestling your head boys trousers down while looking at his pawn collection.

You're the pole choking expert by your own admission. Is that how you started your pole choking career?
Thanks for playing though.

You seem obsessed with my chess program of > 30 years ago.
I think it's because deep down you realise you're not really in my league, at the age I was wrestling with Shannon's seminal paper, you were reading the Beano.

Yeah, right you are "Lou"!!

The UK doesn't need you fake Germans to stage a recovery.

Who the f@@k would leave a first world country to go and live/work in a country where they do not speak the language?
You are a "guest worker". It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK. Only someone who was struggling would do that to his kids.

From that I conclude you were a loser in the UK. Therefore, your opinion is not relevant.

yes, agreed, and if it was a 1st world country we wouldn't have been attracted abroad by opportunities

Regarding,

"It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK",

well that one never crossed my mind, and not sure what to say to it - does not compute.

I speak the local lingo like a native, I retired to the med at 40- I've unretired because it didn't suit me. And I live very well sassy- no commuter grind- just midnight dips in the warm med before sleeping on my day bed under the stars. I still visit my client once a month-so I get to socialise with big city slickers like you. You make me laugh- you talk like a winner but you're a long way from that. Has your chess program made a move yet?

And you "unretired" to so something dull like code maintenance? Really? Why?
You come across as not very bright to be honest. Your "solution" to post-Brexit is to do roughly the same as what we were doing pre-Brexit?
TBH, the stench of loser that emanates from you is overwhelming. You're one of these support staff you're talking about, are you not?

[Fronttoback]

If support staff weren't needed then why would they be hired in the first place? Just because someone originates a trade that makes millions doesn't mean they've done it themselves.

Ah, someone who can argue logically. This ain't sassy, my apologies.

Roughly it's a pyramid. The few at the top make the most money. Those on the level below contributed to that work but get paid a bit less. However, their contribution is more fungeable. Keep going down the pyramid until you find sassy selling cakes to interns. Everybody makes money inversely in proportion to his fungeability. As more money comes in, people decrease their capacity.

And sometimes traders rely on the team around them. The hedge fund I worked at got a trader from GS. £800m profit in previous year. Sacked after 11 months....

The last crisis was caused by borrowing too much. Solution - borrow even more.

If conflicts of interest had been properly disclosed "too much borrowing" would never have taken place.

[tiggat]

But it's right. The big money is made at the top. That requires support staff at many tiers. Once the big money goes, support staff start getting chopped. I've done 20+ years in the banks. I'd love your version...

The irony is strong with this one.
