Of all my sock-puppets I'm proudest of you. A mad Russian with delusions of adequacy. Superb, even though I say so myself.

And you are?

"If you lend a friend a tenner and then never see them, it was money well spent"

Conversely, I knew a pub landlord who once lent a regular customer a tenner, and didn't see him again. He didn't care about losing the tenner - what he did care about was losing the customer who had bought a gallon of ale every weekday evening.

So in your words I am - you and retiring me would be depriving CUK village of its idiot?

I would retire yours, but that would be depriving the CUK village of its idiot.

Speaking of village idiots here's CyberCretin. Luckily for me:

This message is hidden because Cyberman is on your ignore list.

I was on a forum once where you could ignore a user just by clicking on a link. We had a fun game where people would post links which secretly added other people to your ignore list when you clicked them.

I can't seem to do this on CUK after a quick look at the inner workings of the HTML pages. Maybe I need to investigate with FireBug...

Labour seriously need to cut a million or so public sector jobs, as many were not needed in boom time, let alone in a recession. Of course they will not do this because there are votes there and we have an election looming.

Yet again, the dirty work and tough decisions will be left in the laps of the Tories.


NB: between 1998 and 2006 there were 2.2 million new jobs created. Unfortunately, over 1.3 million of those were in the public sector!!!!!

On the other hand maybe I should just re-retire your character.

Doomed?

You are soon too if NZ keeps their open-door immigration policy. Only a crazy country would do that.

We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation? Oh, surely not!

A trader I know (who was worth millions) once told me an old (public) school friend asked to borrow 5k. He said he would give him 5k on 2 conditions :-
1. he never asked for money again
2. he did not attempt to pay him back

Within a year the friend had asked for another 5k. The trader put the phone down.
