Gotta love those American Banks... the pillar of a glorious economy. They selflessly decide to help out the poor and destitute by offering mortgages to them. How generous is that? So all of a sudden enterprising fellows and fellowettes spring up as brokers, and they sign up the poor and destitute for mortgages. What do you mean you don't have a job? That's ok, we'll just put down that you DO have a job, and we'll put that you earn... let's say... $20,000 per year. Lying? No... it's not lying if the banks don't care!!! So these poor and these destitute people get a house... wonder of wonders. They have a payment they can just about afford if they sell a kidney per month, and everyone is happy. Only what's this? When an unexpected expense arises (I dunno, maybe they needed to go to hospital for a $200 band-aid), a lot of the poor and destitute can't afford their mortgage payment. Foreclosures, repossessions... not a lot of happiness out there. So the banks think to themselves, dang nabbit, we are losing money. Then someone has the bright idea... the fixed term rates on the mortgages are just about to end. Why don't we just jack up the payment? GENIUS!!!! Only... oh dear. Now there aren't enough kidney's to go round, and nobody can afford to pay their mortgage payments. Foreclosures, repossessions... and the banks lose even more... dumb fucks!!!! So what is the knock on effect? Well... American banks are also busy around the world, but lets concentrate on a little nation getting buggered by a dour Scots bastard. We'll call it the UK. So the American banks are losing shed loads of money, so they jack up mortgage payments on the UK market. And wouldn't you know it, it has the exact same effect. So now American banks are suffering, and it's hitting the UK market like an anvil between the eyes. What's the result? Lets call it a "Credit Crunch". Economies start to suffer... consumers lose faith in the credit market, even the ones that can still afford a roof over their heads. Nobody buys cars anymore... which means redundancies in the motor finance and credit management industry... which means I might be out of a job... all because American banks are fucking morons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oversimplification? Of course. But then that is what a rant usually is... Edited by Acadius, May 16 2008, 04:54 PM.

Dicks who think its right to ridicule your personal life. My boyfriend posts on the same forum as I do, and by accident someone who I don't trust too much found out we're dating. He's not coming straight out and saying we're dating, but he's making gentle points towards it, which is pissing me off royally considering I told him explicitly neither of us wanted it mentioning on the board. What the fuck makes him think he's got the right to pull that shit?! |

You know it's no different than gossiping about celebs, athletes, and public figures, right? Take that into consideration the next time you fee llike saying something about what a public figure does on his/her own time. Just in general, not an attack on you personally. |

I really hate when a band sells out, and a few people say things like "Their maturing if you do not like it then do not listen to it" when probably they do not know much about the bands history anyway. I mean come on read the UrbanDictionary.com of "sell out"
So see there is a difference between selling out, and creating songs for your fanbase. Those people who say the band is maturing when a band/rapper changes their sound for the younger audience and not the loyal audience i call those type of people arrogant and closed minded. I really hope people open their minds because seriously i am tired of reading that on Itunes Reviews and other places. Edited by wwefan300, Jul 4 2008, 08:26 AM.

What is it with this invasion of mediocrity? It seems to be happening everywhere. From the upper reaches of government, to the lower echelons of serfdom, the mediocre are taking over. The uniform of humanity will soon no doubt be beige and pastels. Everywhere the unworthy are rocketing to ever new heights. I’m bloody sure this never used to be the case, or at least not to the extent it is now. We used to have the admittedly boozy brilliance of Churchill… now we have the dour Scottish bastard. If we look further back, men like Disraeli and Gladstone (oops, there go the American posters) were undeniably brilliant! Even Thatcher was far from mediocre, even if she was as mad as a sack of rabbits. It looks very much like the Tories will be back in power come the next election, and you can’t get much more mediocre then David “flopsy” Cameron. Just look at the States (and they are back), Dubya is the very pinnacle of mediocre. Of course he’s an all too easy target, mind you, there is a reason for that. Look at the television for a moment… ok you need to turn it on first… do I have to tell you lot everything? Guaranteed you’ll see mediocre presenters picked for their unoffensive blandness, or perhaps former reality TV stars, or worse… the scum of the earth on one of the several thousand “problem shows”… aka lets all discuss our problems in public in the misguided belief that it is more then just entertainment for those devoid of a single brain cell. So where else has this invasion occurred? Where hasn’t it!!!!! Somewhere in an office (not THE office of course) on the busiest junction in Slough (yes I know, but it still isn’t THAT office… what I’d give for a manager of that calibre), the invasion has reached epic proportions. I’ve had some bad managers in my time… who amongst us has not? But at the very least they sodding well knew what they were talking about to some extent. They may have been dire man-managers, but they knew the job. Not in this office in Slough however. Now all you need to progress is to be chummy with the department head, who fills the roles with her clones. Decent man-managers? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha… gimme a hell no! Mediocrity has taken over, and it wears power suits, and utters buzz words, and basically treats the lower orders with the disdain we deserve. And you thought Invasion of the Body Snatchers was scary? No need for Rowdy Roddy’s magic shades though… mediocrity is easy to spot… it has Manager in the job title. So beware my posting chums, beware of the dangers that lie outside your bedroom walls. If your find yourself wearing matching shirt / tie combos, while trying to out-loud laugh* your colleagues, and going on about your heavy meeting schedule… then it is too late. You have been taken by mediocrity. Me… I’m grabbing the canned goods, the bottle water, and I’m taking the family to the hills to wait this one out. * incidentally, what is with the loud laugh that managers do? Our director has two laughs… one is a big booming laugh that attempts to batter all other manager’s laughter into submission (only used in the presence of other manager types of the same or higher levels)… and the other is a girly squeaky laugh when he’s actually amused. I’m going to start a booming loud laugh every time a manager speaks and see how long it takes me to get promoted. Mediocrity here I come!!! |

My best friend's boyfriend's ex. She's a money grabbing skank. She's bled the joint account that her and Mark had set up dry, leaving £70, so now that my mate is setting up her new house, he can't afford to help her out with anything, because the ex is a gold digger. Some ass reversed into her car with a trailer thursday, she's had to pay the premium, and Mark can't afford to buy her a Wii for the pair of them to cheer her up because the ex has taken all the money. Cow, I'm going to firebomb her house. |

Hand, Foot and Mouth is dang annoying... and work won't even let me in the office, as I'm still contagious. Dark cloud, silver lining. |
