    Or 'Shenvy' as it's known in the trade.

    You most certainly are. :D

    Don't need any more than I have, rather just do as I please, I have a massive house, nice car, and all the material stuff I need, don't have to get up when I don't want to, don't have to work if I don't want to, go on holiday for as long as I wish, and can buy anything I want, in cash.

    As for these alledged hot shots that are on multi-million pound packages, look at the state of the companies they run, they're all in the Sh*t. Barclay's lost 20 odd % in one day, how much is that useless ToZZ pot on, must be a real genious in charge their. HBOS, RBS, Merylll Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Leman Bros, etc etc etc

    As for KPMG and the like, these high roller firms on mega bucks, maybe if they'd done their FFing job when they audited these companies properly highlighting that they had to much risk, had tons of toxic debt, that still these auditors don't know where the hell it is and how much, then they wouldn't be all in such Sh*t. To an extent that it bringing down the whole country.

    How come these companies have suddenly gone to the wall in such a short space of time. It is the auditors responsibility to protect shareholders & investors and show thet the accounts present a true and fair reflection. They must have been asleep when they audited all the banks and not noticed a bit of EXPOSURE.

    oh the irony :T
    what is the plural of moose?

    One thing people who appear on Kirsty Stanford and Phil Madoff's show do have in common is a frightening level of negative equity.

    I don't remember writing this.

    However, I think it's a decent pun and am a little bit miffed that it's only been thanked once (and that was by NDG and she would thank your burps if you could put them down in to prose).

    'Shenvy'? For people envious of sheds? Like 'envy', but with the 'sh' from the word 'shed'? Geddit? No? Anyone? Someone? Is this microphone working? Hello?

    Well, its a timely revisit of your shenvy word, because we're hoping to build a new chicken house at the weekend and I'm looking at plans with shenvy right now. I'd kind of like a thatched roof oversized dove cot type design, obviously scaled up for chickens. What we'll end up with is a box with a roof, I guess.;)

    Don't spend too much of your time looking at other people's grand and impressive houses for their poultry. You'll just end up getting 'henvious'.
