Ben, your sig should also include the WBC & WBA belts for Super Middleweight and the Ring Magazine 'belts' for Super Middleweight and Light Heavy Weight.

Calzaghe should also have the PfP status too after Floyd 'retired', as he's way better than Pac man.

but Joe punches out of his elbow!!

he's done well for himself though.

WTF?_2

Could you please paste a link to this data?

The report points out that in 2001, UK customer lending was comparable to customer deposits.
But by the first half of 2008 the surplus of lending over deposits - "the customer funding gap" - was £700bn.
The report said banks should strengthen their finances by increasing customer deposits, holding more assets that are easy to sell and reducing reliance on wholesale money markets.
Last week Bank governor Mervyn King said the British banking system had been closer to collapse earlier this month than at any time since the start of World War I.

1000 punches per 12 round fight and granite chin - how can he be beaten?

I'd love for hinm to continue and beat Joe Louis' record for defences, but I guess it's hard to live in a gym when you're in your late 30's and a multi-millionaire.

Thanks !!!!!!.

Seems crazy that the government didn't have laws/regulations in place that ensured a bank could not lend out more than it had in deposits.

I would have agreed with you until he said on Newsnight a couple of months back the BOE should only drop the rate 0.25% if at all.

Talk about not learning from past mistakes!

Do you not think that the guy might of had savers and the currency in mind?

IMHO, I don't think IR rates should be dropping at all! The inflation figures are fudged - house prices ARE NOT included - and I suspect that inflation is more in the teens and has been for a long time!

I know you have a vested interest but these rate cuts are damaging savings and the currency. We have sod all to export so we won't be exporting our way out of this mess which is what happened when Ken Clarke's gang was in power!

the number of punches thrown is his biggest asset - he should retire now at the top.
no-one else to fight.

Or at least a sensible multiple/proportion, like solvency rates for Insurance companies...

So little recognition for so much achievement.

Like what?, Brown/Darling can barely add up/take away.

I completely disagree. Brown has done a very good job of taking away.
