Hey I've been busy pal was going to save it for the 100,000, but feel we may not make it.
Ages now, since Icesave went,
In North Atlantic sank.
Anxious savers asked for help,
Icelandic answers stank!
Our Darling to the rescue.
Would pay us all instead.
The compo system started,
Loretta was the head.
The first time, this had happened,
Were sure that they could cope.
Us Money Saving Experts,
Just sat around in hope.
Three hundred thousand waiting,
All praying for their dough.
How would our funds be paid out?
But no one seemed to know.
A random system fairest,
So Ms Minghella said.
IT system burnt out!
Just hand picked straws instead.
But Emails now the problem.
Yet more Loretta blues.
Number ones, came in a flash.
We strained for number twos.
Then Clicking Finger Syndrome,
So very quickly spread.
Too frequent inbox checking.
Got most who use this thread.
As more and more got paid out,
The worse it seemed to get.
All huddled round our laptops.
By ‘eck we used to fret.
Three months of mental torture,
Has let us scarred inside.
Each time I see Katona,
I run away and hide.
A bank account at Icesave,
Like marriage, such a shame,
In and Outs get fewer
Lose interest just the same.In memory of Chris Hyde #8670 -
:rotfl: :rotfl: :T :T Excellent, particularly the last 4 lines!!! also liked "straining for no 2's"!
A point of accuracy (yawn), Iceland did finally cough up the first 18k !!0
