Reply to: Credit crunch stories - got any?

One banker was said to have described the crash as worse than divorce: "I've lost over half my wealth, but I still have my wife".

And have they been divorced? If not - how would they know?

i think money grabbing whore would suffice?

i bet she left with all the family jewellery in her bag too.

And his crown jewels too?

Divorce - from the latin to rip out a man's genitals via his wallet.....

At least he found out what his wife was really like

You never really know anyone until you divorce them.

Just thinking; leaving aside what we think of bankers, what should one call a woman who marries a guy in the good times when he’s making millions and then leaves him in desolation when things go downhill? Would ‘whore’ be politically unacceptable? Or too polite?

I would suggest 'minted'.

I would suggest 'my new girlfriend'.

I was told the other day about Lehmans banker. Bought a £4m house - £2m cash, £2m loan to be paid back from bonuses - secured by £4m Lehmans shares ("In case they halve").

House repossessed, wife left him with the kids (who he does not see). Being made bankrupt, living in bedroom with his parents.

Should happen to all bankers really.

You're too soft on them. Castration is the best way to prevent them reproducing.
