I have been credit crunched!

I don't have enough money for the plural to be relevant.

Depends: Are stones sold on quantity or weight?

Boulder him?

Bollocks. I must type more slowly if I wish to be pedantic.

Just seen this thread.

Last week i bought the most expensive shoes of my life. 760quids worth to be precise.
I went to use my hsbc debit card to buy some trainers and the card was refused. This being 2 days after payday i had no idea why it had happened.

Got home to find a letter on my doormat telling me that HSBC have decided to close my credit card with them. No notice whats so ever. They saw i had money in my current account and transferred 760 between the two.

This extremely screwed me up. Unable to pay rent on both the house and the workshop. HSBC didn't give a shit. They pretty must said htfu and get on with things.

Sooo yeh. HSBC aren't really my most favourite of organisations.

Fuck HSBC, bunch of cunts.

£760 shoes? smallbrownbike (imelda).

I'm finding sympathy a little scarce here TBH.

er, I think he's saying that as a result of trying to buy trainers he discovered money had left his account to the tune of £700 odd, not that the shoes cost that. And what's Imelda Staunton got to do with it anyway.

Perhaps James X could explain that one.

Probably something like:

"Are poolicy is two..."

It's sometimes so hard to decipher the syntax innit?

Do you think he thinks he's called James Y?

James X anagram Sex jam.
No wonder the economy's gone to hell in a handcart...

mmm, fruity.

Did someone call?

hypersensitive hearing innit?

the shoes should have cost 30quid... it was while paying fr this that i realised i had no money.

I really really hope that HSBC don't do that to me, "world of hurt" springs to mind...

pah who needs shoes let them were cake

I think his quote was fine - a play on 'let them eat cake' - the real problem was that he went and James X'd the spelling of 'wear'.

Is it juts me or has this thred lost it direction ?

Go on, help yourself, they are for you.

James X, the white man's Malcolm X.

COkckling bollcks

yes tynan i was basically being too clever for the narcoleptic one, but not you, you, you, you....

To be fair to James X he did take the abuse with more self-effacement than some of the recent victims of newbie-bashing.

What kind of fresh bullshit is this? "Meaning we were making a slight profit"? When did HSBC publish its last set of interim results (when profits were reported)? Not 'the other day', but back in August. The share price went up because of market sentiment, not because of profits you were 'passing on' to shareholders. If you work for HSBC you should do them a favour and keep your mouth shut, because you have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

This is brilliant. +Rep
