Cash in your mattress time...

don't worry; it's a voluntary code. Like Enron had.

precisely. you have to keep those do-gooder regulatory cunts off your backs.

I hate to imagine what their logo is

that needs to be a t-shirt. or a sticker to put on minicabs that pass too close.

...or a sticky t-shirt.
what's actually going to come of all this? I'm kind of hoping the world will slip into a post apocalyptic style mad max land.

I was kind of surp'ised today, or the weekend, I can't remember which, to read that "America" had agreed to bail out the world, at a cost of $700bn. "Fair play", I hazarded. Now that isn't happening I do wonder where our world is going; I wonder where we will all be in a year's time, without the mighty guiding force that is the US. And I figure I don't really have a clue, and I don't really have a say: I realise I am one of the dictated-to, the told-how. Am I really going to see the difference - to feel the difference? I worked for Wachovia last year - is it fucked? Am I fucked more or less than the head honchos of the London operation - fiscally? relatively? Well yes I suppose I am - but I always was.

Fear not, ye who have little. And that's most of us, I reckon.

Adjus'ment is where it's at.

I just don't know. I ain't got obligations, which is a luxury at times like this....

well I've got enough cash to last till next month, and I can light a fire with some sticks...

I believe that...

this has been coming for quite a while... i don't know why, but i'm hardly alarmed or frightened. it's the shifting of the tides... i expect london may pick up the financial mantle which would be good news for all of you guys. or maybe it will all blow over ? (doubtful). and then there's china as well..

@ kattt: Love the optimistic tone, but in the times that izzacomin' if you can't pluck and gut your own one-legged pidgeon, you is fucked... And that's the truth...
edit: Forgot to mention the catching and killing the little fucker bit...

We all need to start growing our own vegetables/screaming/drinking heavily.

very likely, in fact you are probably already feeling the difference.

I worked for Wachovia last year - is it fucked?

I think Citigroup swallowed them up today (don't quote me on that) - so they should expect the usual culling of jobs, share prices will be massively down (might even be a minimal/£1 payout per share kind of set up) so people will loose a ton of money etc etc.

I'm reckon I am good for at least 2 and a half months, then if things don't pick up I am buying a gun and a pair of those trousers Rambo has with the little pockets where you can keep matches and coins.

It's all about Trafalgar Square these days, there are a few plots left if you are quick on your feet.

Your cash money is no good now... Only the strong and those with guns and few principles will survive...

Where are you getting yours from ?

I reckon it's down to who has the strongest stomach, expect to be eating rat this time next year.

what is the mortgage rate fixed to/at? (delete as applicable)

50:14

There will be an HHSB army tho'... Fuelled by Jerk roasted, uni-dextered pidgeons... Some of us will roam at night on our mighty stealth HHSBs... It's the fixed-rate, as oppsosed to, fixed-gear Arrocalypse...

^ the people that find themselves in a different situation tomorrow / next week will only have adjustments to make. It's all about adjustments. Psychological adjustments are the ones to crack.

Locked and loaded... I'm Maverick, RPM can be Goose (unless he wants to be Maverick, which is fine by me)...

Bollocks, if you hav'nt noticed some fairly radical adjustments in your weekly food and fuel bills in the last couple of months the you're living in a different world to me.
Capitalism stinks, and as I've said before feudalism stank more. To assume that there is no better economic system is to assume that there is no future for humanity.

ha ha! second or third time you've cracked me up loads today teenslain..

sorry batty, I haven't. I've been broke for ages.

ps sorry - the context was those who have been working for outfits such as Wachovia.

Yeah, I'm on fire baby... Just like my eyes...

There are no good times for musicians, never ever.

You are probably already paying more for your food, you will be paying more for transport (bus/tube) and heating/cooking/electricity etc etc.

You will look back romantically at the bad old days next year when you tuck into your plate of gravel and worm eggs.

@ pajamas; You still eat and drink. Otherwise you would have wasted away and died.
You're food and drink costs you more today than it did this time last year. You are either hungrier or poorer than you were.
