Wee Wild West suggests I may have had a change of heart about bank bonuses, given that I previously supported Obama’s (WWW’s favourite President) attempt to curb such bonuses. The answer is not really. I am as against unmerited bonuses as anybody else - and particularly the outrageous level paid by Goldman Sachs - and if the US led the way in a global initiative I am all for that. My point is that the UK should not act unilaterally and drive out the banking hot shots we need to kick start the economy.
Whether we like it or not the world is not fair and no amount of Government tinkering will make it so. We have created a meritocracy where everybody has an opportunity. After that it is up to us as individuals. To soak the rich (ie those who have had the wit to make it in this world) and pass the money to the hoards on benefit assistance is a recipe for disaster. Those in genuine need we should help, but Urban Eric? - I rest my case.
As you wish; over here the goal was to kick everyone out of everything; tax everyone for making over a hundred thousand, so those with a few dollars left will not even be able to visit Urban Eric or Ol Fart because they’ll be broke….before that happens, there will be a movement to Costa Rica; Cayman or Spain (can’t go to Mexico–can’t control the druggies) to live in the fashion we’ve become accustom to….packing our bags now as a matter of fact…we’ll wait until November and see what happens when we can attach more politicians with call girls, hookers, and STD transmitters…who knows we may even sight a transvestite or two along the way….me, it’s that Penelope that has my curiosity ‘up’…..

Good to see that some bloggers wives like Mrs Urban Eric and Mrs Elf n Safety are good sports and up for the nudie shots in your magazine Oldboy. Sorry but no go from Mrs Damon. She’s in a bit of a mood today. Come to think of it she’s been in a bit of a mood since we came back from honeymoon 26 years ago. Its impossible to please women isn’t? Like yesterday being Valentines I tried to do the right thing and went to a lot of trouble to get a table at 8 o’clock in the best place in town. When I told her she says ” But I don’t really like snooker”. Impossible.

I say old bean you know I’m not one to go all bleeding hearts just because a few pensioners and shareholders lose their assets.But things could get a bit hot at Readers. Seems your IT stuff they introduced on my recommendation has caused a bit of a downturn. Much like our arrangement at Northern Rock and Madoff Assoc.Lets keep our heads down , it may all blow over. You know I like our little arrangement but I may need to review my cut as the risk/reward ratio seems a bit wrong if you get my drift. Perhaps also you could brush up on the old computer stuff——-go to night school or borrow a couple of books or something.
