Harriet Harman on Sir Fred Goodwin

MrFonzerelli

Having Harriet Harman on top of you is too harsh a punishment...even for Fred the Shred!

She is full of hot air. That's the next bubble to burst.

I'm going to say that your signature, which tells us all that you have hundreds of thousands of pounds with celebrating smiley faces with hats and streamers, is really annoying.

I can't see sigs, have them switched off. But just the thought of someone having money AND smileys is too much.

Ah, so it's just an envy thing. Now I understand. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yup Dave, it's envy.

Honestly, you don't think it's slightly odd having a signature that proudly shows you have £300,000 in savings? Would you go round at parties tapping people on the shoulder and say, "not sure if we've met, but can I just make you aware that I have £300,000 in the bank?".

I'm with John Prescott on this one.

Withhold the pension and let HIM sue.

That would be the great thing about being Fred Goodwin. They'd already know. So not bragging, just beaming.

They appear to hae done it on the back of a fag packet.

Yep. Although with the pictures of damaged lungs, etc. there is even less room for calculation that when Harold Wilson did it.

In case you hadn't noticed oh 'cleaver' one, the MSE site is about saving money. If you'd just open your eyes, you'd see plenty of posters in these forums with sigs that keep fellow posters updated with their savings or debts.

I happen to be proud and happy that my prudency throughout life has resulted in a positive balance to see me through my retirement. If that bothers you ... tough!

Perhaps if a few more had followed my example, the country wouldn't be in the awful mess it is in now.

i have no problem with it, although i would be careful labour dont try and inflict a 'windfall' tax on it.
