Makes me wonder which planet you are currently living on!!! Certainly haven't been to the Supermarket lately have you!!

What are you blithering on about?

I went to a supermarket last night. Nothing to see here, move along.
Perhaps everyone is a little paranoid where you reside?


If the country does turn to mass anarchy then we'll see the people capable of looking after themselves surviving and those who need to have their hand held through every decision and are unable to fend for themselves falling by the way side.

If that starts happening then I'll quite happily get a shotgun, baracade myself, friends and family inside a castle and shoot people trying to get in.
You'd be advised to do the same.
It just wont come to that.

Yet another 'pot calling the kettle black' post from !!!!!!, the King of Hypocracy. I'll remind you when you're going on about how you 'saw it all coming' and how the evil BTLers and dopey FTBers didn't listen to you. You prat. :rotfl:

I have always found !!!!!! posts enlightening and interesting whether I agree with them or not. Not sure what you think you have brought to this board?

Yep - you sound like a well sorted, well adjusted person with your life in order all right. :rolleyes2

Certainly not the sort of person who needs to jump on the internet and hurl venemous personal abuse at an anonymous stranger about who you know absolutely sweet FA. No sirree

You really need to get this 'king of the forum' competition that seems to be your at the root of your obsession with slagging me off, out of your head.

Do you feel that you should be liked and respected by everyone and that anyone who is vocal (and I am pretty opinionated and make loads of posts) is somehow a threat to your rightful place on the throne? How very sad, I'd hate to be going through life with the level of neediness which you display where you are reduced to hurling this sort of spiteful claptrap on an internet forum against your perceived 'rival'.


This post speaks volumes about you. Calm down, go back and read it again.

Another in-depth self analysis !!!!!!. You really do know your issues. At this rate you'll be rid of your neurosis within the next decade. The last self-assessment you did yesterday:

It was a pathetic and transparent attempt to troll. Now having been called on it you put on the wounded, teary eyed act to portray yourself as the poor misunderstood good guy. :rolleyes:

Fits the bill completely. You have a go at me for a general remark I made in a post, I have a go ack at you and then you do your usual 'teary eyed act to portray yourself.......

Absolute classic !!!!!!. :rotfl: King of the Forums!!

Financial crisis: Alistair Darling's guarantee to Icesave savers

The Government has stepped in to ease British savers’ fears over the meltdown of the Icelandic banking system by guaranteeing the deposits of customers of Icesave.

Last Updated: 10:00AM BST 08 Oct 2008

Gordon Brown confirmed that the Government was taking legal action against the Icelandic authorities to get back the deposits of British savers in Icelandic banks. He said he would "stand by these investors".
Speaking on BBC Radio earlier, Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, said he was making a commitment that about 300,000 Britons would be given special protection following the nationalisation yesterday of Landsbanki, the parent company of Icesave.
The Chancellor’s guarantee means that savers will not lose out even if they have more than £50,000 in an Icesave account. Last week, the Government increased its guarantee to savers from £35,000 to £50,000.

Guys. I have asked that we don`t lash out at each other on this thread. Look, all of us are potentially going to feel pain with what is happening. I had hoped that the way the thread was evolving we might be here for a bit of mutual support not the same old mud slinging carp from the same people that goes on over countless threads. I enjoy reading some of WTFs posts as I do DDs but now is not the time to say`` I told you so``. I am going to honestly lay out my table and my fears.

We have a few years to retirement. Mortgage free in a modest home. My wife has a low paid but secure job and I am self employed, contracted to one company for many years. They have some work for me but nowhere the amount as say 3 years ago.

We have savings but a far greater amount invested in pensions. Thankfully we have bucked the trend and we have adopted a fairly frugal life but are happy with that. Both of us have turned our back on the gross materialistic ways of many we know. Right now we are seeing family/friends getting into deep do do.

Angry, yes. Wether we like it or not we ALL we be affected by the last 20 to 30 years. A society that has been driven by greed and fear. I look back with deep respect and admiration to my parents generation, those who had it really tough but one thing stands out, that generation in the main were decent hard working folk. Their main concern was for security.

I admit that I have been a property bear and have been one since the start of the decade. It doesn`t seem right to me that people have been allowed to get rich on the back of others based on some speculative idea that houses always go up. I get so angry when I hear landlords telling me that their BTls are their pensions. Well what about their tenants pensions.?

I am angry that having tried to do ``the right thing`` it could turn into a futile exercise.

!!!!!!,DD and everyone who posts here. The best of luck whoever you are in these uncertain times.

back to the OP:

I can't admit to being angry, only apprehensive.

on the negative side: I've got £17k in KE and they're not answering the phone.

on the positive:

my job is pretty safe,

xmas should return to being a more restrained and civilized affair, in the absence of excess,

a retreat to sanity in the HP market,

an opportunity for some to examine their priorities in life.

******************************

but there will be (IMO) few areas of life that won't be touched by what is about to unfold.

I extend (genuine) sympathy to those who are about to be hit full-on by the downturn that - on the face of it - is going to be worse than 81 and 92.

good luck to everyone. I'll see you in the aldi/netto queues.

ING have taken over the KE savings business, according to Sky (mind you, they broke that story yesterday about the 'US plane' )
