"City bosses in London have been insisting on paying back the enormous bonuses they were paid only a couple of months ago..."
Nice thought george, now that really would create HPC.

"Ben Bernanke sought to reassure the market on Wednesday that the global slide was not a sign of deeper concerns, following remarks by his predecessor Alan Greenspan about the possibility of a recession."
Poor old Ben! Greenspan really isn't making his life easy!

I got that line from newsbiscuit.com - a spoof news website. The article from the Beeb is actually fairly accurate, and since the article was published, the market has dipped another 50 points

HAHA. I like the sentiment george. Nice one.
I can just see them with the wads of cash "no really, I insist, please take it back, just let me keep my job because my loyalty is to you alone, CEO".
No, no. They have the best to come. Those finance companies have revolving doors in the lobby for a reason - so they can boot people at as quick as they bring them in.
