    Classic, thanks Gen.

    Anyone can make a mistake though.

    I rented Inglourious B*st*rds from the dvd shop last week, expecting it to be a tense and compelling thriller about the highest levels of chicanery amongst the Western World's banking elite.

    It turns out to be yet another stupid war film!

    So disappointed..

    Thanks Gen, lifts a gloomy morning here.

    Interesting how another organisation with a TLA

    Conspires with terrorists, works with drug dealers/revenues, arms dealers and money laundering but is done for the greater good.

    It seems to me that fines are replacing taxation. The authorities can't pin down tax loopholes so pursue wrong doing instead.

    I find it pretty disgusting that regulators will allow executives to buy their way out of gaol with shareholders' money.

    Why should I buy my CEO's freedom from my pension fund? Let him rot while I enjoy my yacht, not the other way round.

    Or that you can potentially get a criminal conviction for putting you feet on a seat in Mersey Rail train yet walk free from a multi billion statutory regulation breach.
