    Is that your reaction to anyone who hasn't done as nicely out of the crisis as you have? Nice.

    Waaaaay too many assumptions there for someone who only joined this morning
    Why not expand on "Speak for yourself sucker !!!!" so as to make it sound a little less smart?

    I gave a view on what I have seen. How does seeing what's going on make me or anyone else a sucker.

    I'm sure with 3,000+ posts to your name, many of them must have been very insightful and pleasant. So how about replying with one like that now?

    Obsessed with reality TV? I'm afraid that's not that kind of argument you would expect to see in a Michelin starred establishment. Time to vote Nearlynew OFF.

    Inflation is theft and debt is not wealth.

    So what is deflation, philanthropy :eek:

    Why not expand on "Speak for yourself sucker !!!!"

    I will if you list ALL the usernames under which you have posted on this Forum.

    They don't have to be in chronological order if you can't quite remember ;)

    Whilst I completely see where IM & purch are coming from

    Are you sure ?

    I wasn't making a point at all.

    I was just taking the p*ss out of the self important tw*t who went to the trouble of inventing a brand spanking new user name in order to post this piece of cut and paste twaddle.

    If the dumb*ss wants to claim he's been "duped" then so be it, but those with an IQ in double figures probably wouldn't have been.

    P.S. I havn't been anywhere near the "City" for 13 years, but I can report that it is pretty mild and sunny as I sit here looking over the Rive Exe and Dunkery.

    Interesting that you call it twaddle, but you don't give any counter argument to say why you think it's twaddle. But at the same time you say that you haven't been "duped" by what's happened - clever you - which infers that you accept the observations. You call me 'sucker' 'dumb' and more in reply. Nice going. I must have hit a raw nerve.

    And as long as we have a debt-based money system,

    Gahhhhhhh. Not another thread about the shadowy conspiracy behind fractional reserve banking...
