there is no price rigging, dont know where you got that idea, but dont go there again.!!!

[quote]Traders on the other hand have to live with the fact that their actions on any one day will have 'screwed' someone, somewhere. . [/quote] Traders are "bulls" and "bears' so there is a fair balance, on a particular day one wins one loses, it is of course possible for both to win, but thats another story. When people wish to invest in a risky businesss, they do so for potentially enormous gain, sometimes it doesnt happen...... funnily enough, the 2nd half of last year was probably the best most have ever had! traders and investors...

Like that.. But from a position of envy an understandable viewpoint.. But from another point of view, a desire to be successful in life is surely a good thing? Rather than settle for what the majority have to accept ! I cannot quantify any parasitic link though!!

ok... why greedy? why parasitic? :)

[quote user="Bugsy"][quote user="tj"].... Today for example the pound is falling because of the possibility of a hung parliament at the upcoming election. .[/quote] Enough reason surely to doubt the bloody sanity of the stupid dealers and their even stupider money markets. Destroying lives, Companies and even Countries without a second thought. I can't be alone in thinking its time for a world-wide ban of the whole concept of making money by buying and selling money. . [/quote] You need to understand, as frustrating as it maybe...these people are NOT stupid, and are the ones responsible for the UK,s boom years, this is a glitch in the system, and they are the ones who wil put it right. I should add the blame lies wholly on government, be it UK , US or elsewhere. But in efforts to provide a free and unregulated marketplace they messed up bigtime. You should be calling for the scalps of the regulatory authorities........

Its not just GDP that influences currency values, unemployment CPI ( inflation or deflation) HPI (housing). BOE interest rate and future exit from quantative easing program. Things are bad in UK and will probably get worse before better. The Budget deficit has a great impact on the value of the pound, to reduce the deficit, public spending cuts are needed, this intentionally causes more unemployment, not good, get the picture..... Today for example the pound is falling because of the possibility of a hung parliament at the upcoming election. The euro appears strong against the pound, but the reality is its the weak pound pushing up the euro, there is a difference, it hit 91.1 pence earlier right now just over 90.025 pence.....it is also oversold against the dollar so should rebound which will push it higher against the pound.. Expect the euro to soar when a Greek deal is done...... Thursday and friday will be US unemployment claims figures and unemployment rate..these both move currency values,if they are worse than expected then the dollar will drop which will for example push the euro higher against the pound unless there is some positive counter news from the UK. As for RBS, get over it !!! to be successful and to protect taxpayers investment they need to pay industry levels of bonuses otherwise they will lose the very people they need to turn things around, RBS group made 8.3 billion last year so they can afford it...

hi Livebox phone connection takes upto 72 hours to activate.

[quote user="Théière"] It arrived hidden in an email IT IS A SERIOUS THREAT! [/quote] Thats why you should always download just the email "headers" which detail sender subject and size, and choose the mail you want,before actually downloading the mail, and deleting the rest on the server. and never have "check email every ? mins" switched on

[quote user="buelligan"] [quote user="tj"]BNP, unfortunately, with all the bad press a rather unpopular party with many, that is not to say there is anything wrong with a Nationalist party. So are you trying to say its not among the reasons why some people would like to get out of UK, or a reason why many already have, ? i have met and spoken with many expats over the last 10 years since I left and unfortunately it is factor. As an immigrant myself, as you point out, I think its rather a long stretch to compare my migration to that of the typical immigrant to UK.[/quote] I'm sorry tj, I afraid I can't see how that answers the question - unless you mean that the British Army should be fighting the BNP?  And, until you make it clear just who you think the "enemy" is, I don't see how anyone can discuss the matter with any clarity. [/quote] Not sure if you are being deliberately naive ? My reference to the army was purely to show the irony of the situation, And the enemy, your words not mine, are those who would arrive to our country and proceed to dismantle our heritage, by means of political correctness and an utterly ridiculous immigraton policy, not forgetting those who arrive illegally of course.

"Fight" doesnt just mean with weapons and maybe it was the wrong analogy to make,,,,

Change over centuries may well be a positive thing. Forced change over a few decades has proved the opposite.

Your not wrong, As much as it pains me to say so, our native country is no more, and until such time as the powers that be address the situation it will continue its decline. As british citizens we are on regular basis stripped of another part of our heritage and culture in the name of PC etc , only it appears we as native citizens have no right to same considerations. Global village, Multicultural society, all sound great, until you try and put it into practice ,,,,,, Tragic to see the destruction of a once proud and patriotic nation.

Hi Our native country is under ever increasing occupation, this does not have to mean a military force! And is one reason why many have left and many more would like to!

makes me laugh, UK & US continue sending thousands of troops to the middle east, to fight battles they cannot win.... They should send them to UK and start to fight for the return of our own country..... a damn disgrace.....

anything and everything you do in an internet cafe is/or can be visible to the operator. I certainly would not be entering any credit card details, I dont even like having to log in to check email on the rare occassion it is neccessary. Internet cafes are not safe places to be inputting passwords or bank details.

Just tell them you have broken your glasses and you will be in tomorrow.

I dont really know how to ask this question, but came up with 2 options. Are they just crap? or Is anyone unhappy with the quality of dentistry here. You can answer one or both, which ever suits..

I have been taking 4000mg of Codeine and Paracetamol, and 1600mg of Ibuprofen everyday for the last few weeks. The only side effect is an occasional drowsiness.

[quote user="Iceni"]John has just bought me 2 packets of 8 tablets each. I was just about to take 2  when I realised that they were 1 g and not 500 gms. The two boxes taken as 2 every 4 hours could well have been fatal. [/quote] I guess you answered your own question! You really should read the label before you take any medication !!! JFYI they are sold in packets of 8 for a very good reason? it is less than required for an overdose.

And when he asks you to pay?

isnt registration for AE closed / 31st March I understand?

Strange isnt it? laws against discrimination against minority groups is supposed to protect their interests... Since on this planet white caucasians only account for 1 billion I think we are in a minority,,,,,,,,,but you know the rules against discrimination and racism only apply if its PC. While wre on the subject, a muslim has just been given the job in charge of religious programming at the BBC,,,,the end of the world is nigh!!!!!!

They account for the last 3 months income.
