  1. so Lehmans is paying its London bankers high bonuses now from NY, to avoid being stung by the tax. And they say morality has returned...
  2. @njharrison I've been catching snowflakes on my tongue. So I should have been at work, I don't care!
  3. Been trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue. Did not realise that a string of white van/taxi drivers were watching. So what? Snow: IMMD
  4. Just had lunch cancelled on me. What is happening with the financial services industry? No bonuses, no brisket? Ehu!
  5. Are banks socially useful or morally bankrupt? Banks are intrinsic to the woof of society - but some of them are warped.
  6. Sees a lot of talk about best practice, not enough action to combat poor practice in financial services.
  7. @AdamRiddell If you drink enough, using rainwater, you could help to reduce the impact of flooding
  8. Is annoyed at financial clients who critique the writing prowess of the long-time journalists and professional writers I've commissioned.
  9. @ajbruce Nah, the Wicker Man was very weird. All that naked singing. Very disturbing.
  10. So gold prices rise again, and still the streets of Streatham are awash with Elizabeth Duke. Why can't the government forcibly melt it down?
  11. Is anyone else worried when the Bank of England declares "There is a boom time coming" with regard to money supply? Wheelbarrow, anyone?
  12. <adopting Stewie Griffin voice>Now what's happening at Barclays, eh? Bit of cheeky restructuring? Copying HSBC? Cost efficiencies? Hm?
  13. I recall that some stories I broke for Investment Adviser came as a result of dreams the night before. And they all came true, too.
  14. so Insight is being flogged again, this time to BNY Mellon. Lloyds must be in trouble - wonder if this is a Bischoff move to cut costs?
  15. Wondering why Bischoff is going to head Lloyds? No offence, but why keep wheeling out the oldies? Why not use a trade body head like Knight?
  16. Berkshire Hathaway is big investor in IDQ - and opening up new stores across China! Warren Buffet with a Brownie Batter Blizzard? I'll buy!
  17. It will be bad if the Tories do scrap the FSA! I hope they don't. It's a political hot potato but there is need for a regulator. A good one.
  18. So the big bonuses are back just in time it seems - if government gets its way this will be the last time people can get big bonuses.
  19. Is annoyed that Foundry Creative Media STILL has not paid her for work done in JANUARY this year!!!
  20. M&A activity may be slow to emerge from the gloom, but the resurrection of Woolworths online might be a true green shoot????
