You certainly have some pent up aggression that you take out on people, I think you should stop because this is not a prison mate.

Banking shares have fallen in London amid news that the bosses of big banks had met Chancellor Alistair Darling to discuss fundraising.

[atw's comment: I predicted this when I was 5 years old ]

Royal Bank of Scotland fell 17%, HBOS dropped 14%, Lloyds TSB was down 11% and Barclays fell 5%.

[atw's comment: With my advanced foresight I knew Llloyds was the safest bank]

The banks called on Mr Darling to come up with rescue plan proposals, BBC business editor Robert Peston said.

[atw's comment: This Darling fellow does not have have 36 hours Pass economics module ]

Barclays has categorically denied that it has requested any capital from the UK government.

[atw's comment: If I was boss I would have stopped them buying Porsche. What wrong with Lada? ]

RBS confirmed that the meeting with Mr Darling had taken place, but blamed the share price fall on two very large share trades taking place, which under stock market rules meant that the shares were temporarily suspended.

[atw's comment: Short selling evil traders should be shot, if I was boss ]

Lloyds TSB has declined to comment, but banking sources have said there will be another meeting later on Tuesday.

[atw's comment: Lloyds is very safe bank - what rubbish ]
The Treasury said it did not comment on whether or not meetings were taking place.
