Has 'Cailin' changed professions then?

We know you like to have your hand up that particular sockpuppet.

When Churchill is not looking.

Must have been convincing, they all fell for the nun outfit.

As BrilloPad?

That's odd - I don't recall a Russian-accented Peter Bowles lookalike at either of the two I've attended.

All of them.

How many cuk meets have you attended?

All of them.

[BrilloPad]

So are you committing yourself to attend that crowning party when it happens or you will chicken out as usual?

OK I guess you've picked a date that will never happen because you want to avoid to avoid the humiliation of the dunce's crown. Perfectly understandable.

Indeed. I hereby propose that date to be the night out when SKA generates over £1 mln in turnover, I will even be so kind as to pay for the drinks (moderate)...

Perhaps there should be some kind of ceremony where we can present him with his dunce's crown?

You've given all this a lot of thought atw, why don't you just go down the pub instead?

Could you really subject the regulars at his local to him?

I'm sure there are going to be lots of new rules. But they'll just find loopholes or other schemes.

There are already plenty of rules - that isn't the issue. The issue is that the banks are no longer being regulated, and in the UK that is thanks to our "saviour", Gordon Brown. And he STILL doesn't get it, so I see no prospect of that changing to the degree it needs to any time soon.

The other big issue is that the USA clearly can't be trusted to have such a dominant role in the world financial markets. How that gets fixed is anyone's guess...

WW3 anyone?
