I bet she'd have been great in bed.

I remember seeing Dippy Daves's name on the organisising comittee of Saints Aid and thinking oh dear.

Is that DBP on the far left?

I was in favour of the community charge because there's houses in Leicester full of adults and this charge made them all cough up.

The governemt raise money through issueing bonds (we call them gilts) and these are essentially IOU's that govt pays back with interest. Insurance firms and pension funds buy the largest chunk, but China is reportedly the largest overseas buyer. We don't publish who the overseas buyers are, but the US govt do and in their case it's China so i'd believe the reports.

Jollys played some great tunes in the mid 90's, was a real pill heads club. Loved it.

What a legend. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/185615/MEPs-jeer-Nigel-Farage-for-ridiculing-Belgium

You can't beat german cars for build quality. I drive an Audi and it's built like a tank. If you're gonna wrap your car round an tree i'd rather be in my car than a dagenham dustbin or any other tinny contraption.

I started this thread a while back and no-body seems to care about the fact that most of the world are effectively subjects of the Chinese Empire. Beijing and the Commies are the ones who keep lending the money to us (the west) and I tell you what unless we sort ourselves out and not only clear the deficit, but the debt aswell, we will one day be slaves. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?21773-China

Dunno if it's even there any more, and when I did go can't say I ever saw anyone dancing on tables, but then again the F&F was like you say a Friday night pub so i'd have been well gone and not noticed anyway.

Spot on post, but what makes the situation worse is who is buying the bulk of the government gilts. Can anyone guess who this might be?

The exact same thing happened in the 20's with the Wall Street crash. Nothing will change because humanities course is pre ordained due to the concupiscence caused by the original sin of Adam.

No, and I won't ever report a post.

"Let China sleep for when she awakes, she will shake the world" Napoleon Bonaparte. If only we'd heeded the advice.

That's the one, i'd love to read her/his posts again.

And what about : On my thread about how nice it was see Mrs T back at number 10?

When you and others talk about how good it will be when Mrs T dies it annoys me because I think she was national hero and one of the greatest Prime Ministers we've ever had, but that's alright though because it's your view.

I wasn't aware of the figure, but that is a huge %age and it illustrates why the banking sector cannot be scared off. If and when we re-build a manufacturing base they maybe we can be more firm, but atm they have the whip hand over us and away from the fantasy Island of of those calling for huge taxes and penalties for bankers we simply can't afford to rock the boat.

Can't you do this via PM?

99.99%?

What name did the ginger bloke that pretended he was a laydee use? It was funny as **** when he/she/it lost it.

And what drove Labour to carry out a scorched earth policy by rushing through high capital projects (such as new school builds) in it's dieing days given that the chief secretary to the treasury stated "There is no money left"? Could it be that Labour cared nothing about the crippling debts these measues inflicted on an already crippled nation, but decided it'd help their re-election chances in 5 years by doing as much damage as possible now?

TLS, as a history teacher tell us all why the Wall Street Crash happened.

Sorry, I can't make head nor tail of this.

Yes it is disgraceful, but you've got to look at the bigger picture, are we better off treading carefully and keeping London as the financial capital of the world and creaming off tax revenue year after year, or are we better off getting tough and scaring them off? With you it's all about getting even and revenge, but use your common sense for once and understand we need to keep London as a financial capital because if it ceases to be so we'll be even deeper in the ****.
