    apparently the loan of money to the failing banks comes with a caveat that no bonueses are paid this year.

    might I actually add that no bonuses should be paid until every cent of the tax payers money has been repaid.

    You might be lucky that at present you work with a bunch of f*wits who can't spell, but poor spelling indicates poor education and lack of attention to detail, and in a future role it could really count against you.

    By correcting your spelling now I'm helping your future career.

    My invoice is therefore in the post

    P.S. stingman - there are too many asterisks in your signature. You need two, not three there I believe.

    This board has a loooooooong history of being pedantic about spelling and grammar.

    why has it taken so long for one of these people to loose their jobs?
    Go home for a bit; shag the maid; come back to a nice little earner next spring when nobody's looking.

    With all the banks in dire straits and the government (us) having to bail them out, why has it taken so long for one of these people to loose their jobs?

    Do they now await the "golden handshake"?
