Why do I have this feeling that you might relegate him into 4th before too long!

Nah whenever I get close he comes out of hiding. And as his life is so sad he has more time to post his crap.

Yes it was the only achievement in his life so far. How could you be so cruel?

Did I actually upset Atw by getting 2nd place? Well some good came from all these hours of posting then.......

Yes yes, have you finally concluded defeat on SKA?
FFS your one remaining ambition in life has also been taken away - you're not even the 2nd highest poster anymore

For SKA to be any good?

SKA is already a big success, it's just thickos like you don't get it yet

[sasguru]

I am just waiting for formal completion of one long running thing ...

Of course not - SKA is doing brilliantly now, I am just waiting for formal completion of one long running thing to announce Very Big SKA News - this time not placeholder, hopefully I'll be able to do that before that meet up in London - I might attend (though I won't be offering "have a drink on me" to barmen there).

It's never everyone, however the City as "financial entity" is now tarnished considerably.



Banks should do simple things and charge for them reasonable fee: sending money around, taking deposits for safe keeping and investing them into something liquid and safe (gilts).

Companies that put money into derivatives, CDTs, etc should have a BIG sign "CASINO" put on them and never be able to take deposits or have liabilities more than they have cash deposited in a proper bank.

So everyone in the city is ripping people off?

Would you like to close down the city (and therefore banks) and go back to barter or something?

...- it's 100% something that I did not do.

.

Ah good. Another item to add to the huge list of things you haven't done.

[BrilloPad]

I don't acknowledge anything - there is no point since the gravity of offence committed in the City is so huge: all that was needed for me to point out is that I am in no way involved in ripping people off and ****ing up their life savings only to enrich myself - it's 100% something that I did not do.

Just resisting the greed and avoiding taking part in this scam is the achievement in itself.

Well I'm glad your post implies you agree with "non-achievements of unemployed, mediocre Russian programmers living in bedsits in Brum". The first step is acknowledge your failings. Then you can fix them.

Perhaps not much, but the critical difference here is that I don't **** up other people - I didn't take their pensions etc and lost whem gambling while paying myself ridiculous bonuses.

I suppose this "subtle" difference is a bit too hard to comprehend for a City worker like you

I only ever have pot noodles and have never bothered another living soul (Human anyway).

What about the non-achievements of unemployed, mediocre Russian programmers living in bedsits in Brum?
