So, if I have this right, you believe a contract negotiated in pounds 10 years ago would be worth more today. For as I see it, 10 years ago, living in Australia, he would have A$1200 a day in his pocket, and today A$700 in his pocket had he negotiated in sterling, as he suggested.

Go through every post in the conversation. Pull them together and try to see where you are going wrong.

Fooks sake. You make AussieLoser look like Einstein. You just don't get it do you? There's a kind of mental illness you have.

First time in my life, I have heard someone say A$1200 is less than A$700. But hey, we're all human.

All ears.

Please explain what is wrong in saying if you were paid in aussie dollars 10 years ago, that this amount is worth more in pounds today, than then.

2002 A$3:1 - $1200 worth £400
2012 A$1.7:1 A$1200 worth £700

or

2002 A$3:1 - £400 worth A$1200
2012 A$1.7:1 £400 worth A$700

See if you can work it out for yourself. Try explaining it in more detail and that may help.

He said, paraphrasing, I am smart, for my contract is in sterling, and I convert it to Aussie dollars. I pointed out that thats not clever, as a better one, would be to contract in aussie dollars and convert that to pounds, considering that the pound has been devaluing against the dollar. Thus, if you are paid in aussie dollar, your rate 10 years ago, would be worth more today, in pounds.

An example I used, was if you earned A$1200 a day 10 years ago, it would be worth £400 a day. However, if you earned A$1200 a day today, it would be worth £700 a day.

However, if you earned £400 a day, it would be worth A$1200 a day 10 years ago, but only A$700 today.

Thus, the best contract to negotiate 10 years ago would be in Aussie dollars, not in pounds.

But again, you are too dumb to realise it.

He even admitted he fooked up.

But carry on Greg, I kind of like the way you light up the stupidity ranks.

[Old Hack]

I don't think I could have imagined the level of idiocy combined with lack of self-awareness I showed.

I don't think we'll ever see his like again when it comes to idiocy combined with lack of self-awareness.

Just for the audience, explain fully how you were correct about the currencies.
