It's ok with me, whatever, but I still don't understand why you liken this board to 'watching monkeys in a zoo'.

If the people who post on this board went over to the DFW board or any other and posted something as offensive as this you would then have reason to critisise. As it is what they do with their own time is their business.

I am glad it gives you a laugh though.....it's good to be able to laugh especially in the face of adversity....and many people who post here have had plenty of adversity, me included. A x

You didnt ask why i likened them to monkeys in a zoo you asked why i felt sorry for them.

Most people have had plenty of adversity it is called life.

Some people on here would do well to go out and get one.

WTF?_2

I'd rather be financially sensible, have some money in the bank and get described by you on MSE as 'a monkey in a zoo' than be in a large amount of debt going into a severe recession where I could well lose my job (thanks to the loony lending and irresponsible borrowing of others).....

... but each to their own :rolleyes:

I’ve always respected Robert Peston; don’t know why, but his straight foreword, realistic, financial commentary on the BBC, has always got my attention.
Whereas, normally I take TV with a pinch of salt.

He's a good, dry journalist but the leaks of the HBOS takeover he reported (hours ahead of the regulatory news service announcement) were irresponsible; three wildly different prices were quoted in the course of a day and the information could only have come from government sources; a banker revealing that would have been in straight to jail territory. Created a false market in the shares.

Then why did MM think it was their concern to abuse someone on dfw who is trying to get thier !!!!!! in order.

I was merely defending someone who was being attacked for no good reason.

What are you doing?

I dont even like them.

I only buy them to throw to poor monkeys like you.
