I consider myself to be liberal and left-wing (much more so than the pretend left wingers of the lib dems and labour party, I'm more anarcho-socialist, though I wouldn't mind a benign dictatorship if it was done my way lol). Anyway, I'd like to see these animals tortured to death. It's on video for ******** sake! There needs to be justice, b o ll ocks to what some beard stroking **** thinks is the "civilised" thing to do. Is it civilised to let these people sit in a cell bored for 3 or 4 years and then go back out on the street doing whatever they want to do? Or is it civilised to give the victim some justice? For stuff like this, I put myself in the shoes of the victim or the victim's family. How would I feel if that happened to my mum or my girlfriend? They need torturing and that judge needs to be raped and have some acid poured on him, then see if he thinks 6 years is enough.

Why are all the **** s in charge Scottish? I am f u c k i n fed up of being dictated to (and this is basically a f u c k i n g dictatorship nowadays) by a bunch of jock **** s. Not that the Tory boy toffs are any better. you'll have to excuse me, I'm skint and work a low paid job that I don't like, with a boss who's a ****. Gotta be up for that s h i t in a few hours. I'm taking my f u c k i n g pittance out of the bank and keeping it in a tin in my room. Anyone who wants to try and nick it is welcome to have a go, gives me an excuse to wrap the butt of my snooker cue round their head. I'll invest my money on betfair. I'd like to set that **** Brown on fire and put him out with a shovel. Signed; HPC's token chav with half a brain*. *matter of opinion

But wait! He has an Engineering Degree! On HPC, these people are Gods and it'd be much better if they ran things......oh, ok. Media Studies for Chairman of The Board, anyone?

I was one of the posters who flagged it going through that support level. Whilst I don't trade using TA at all, I think it's worth noting when a currency passes through significant lows. And that's all support and resistance are really, significant lows and highs.

Support broken, now 1.3632 as i type. Plummeting right now. Quite worrying to be honest.

Karl Denninger's take on Quantitative Easing: http://market-ticker.org/archives/698-Quan...asing-FAIL.html

Denninger talked about this on his ticker the other day. http://market-ticker.org/archives/699-The-...re-On-Fire.html and ticker forum views on it here: http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=76371

You don't need a gym, unless you've got space constraints, live in a flat or something. I've got a power rack in my garage. Couple of oly bars and a couple of hundred kg of oly weights (yeah, I'm not that strong, too f**king lazy with my lifting). Adjustable bench aswell, all together prob cost me about a grand (I didn't buy it all at once though, i started off buying the bar and some plates). If I wasn't into weights and just wanted to do some endurance/cardio type training (I don't!) then I'd just buy a rower. Can get a decent one that folds away for a couple of hundred quid. Like a previous poster said, if a gym hasn't got a squat rack (or better, a power rack) then it's not really any good for lifting weights, therefore not any good. Unless it's a boxers gym that is, but I'm too soft for getting punched in the face regularly.

Life isn't fair (and I don't mean that in the patronising cliche way). I wouldn't take the risks that the guy in your example is (ie risk of going to prison). However, he is doing what he has to do for the life he wants. You are on this earth one time, it seems the choice is play the game or be a a drone and get f**ked. Nobody cares about you, this is sadly how society is. You take what you can for you and yours or get left with nothing. This is far from the world I want to live in, but it is the reality. Spivs "working" as politicians are constantly looking out for themselves; for the working class, scamming benefits is more practical than working 4 jobs, because nobody gives you a medal for doing the right thing. It's a shit world, mostly.

If there is one industry that is to be nationalised, please let it be the buses!! I despise First, ******ing loathe them. Why? Extortionate prices. Public transport all needs to be nationalised and made non-profit.

My parents are currently renting a place, their landlord is a business (if this makes any difference) a local building firm. They (my parents) are about to put a new front door on the house. My mum said to me "we'll have to give them a key" meaning give the landlord a key, as they apparently have one at the moment. Is this right? Can a landlord demand a key to the property? I don't think that it is right and I'll be sure to look for some legal confirmation, but I thought I'd ask here first as some of you good people will probably already know the answer.

I'm 24. My memory of the early 90's recession was of my parents losing their house (they had a little business too, when that went, so did the house). We ended up in a council house and that's where I grew up. We didn't stay in the first place they put us though. I remember, this place was a real shit hole. Felt like it was falling down, with a toilet like the one in trainspotting. My mum was trying to fix the place up, crying her eyes out. My dad went down the council and made an almighty ******ing scene, they got us into a better house the same day. And my dad's no snob, when he was a little kid, he lived in a house with an outside toilet! My parents were young and naive and didn't really have any guidance from their elders (who aren't the brightest sparks). Looking back though, I really admire how they brought up me and my brother (bad English I know) because, even though they never had a penny, we never felt poor or like we were missing out. Another weird thing is that even though I was only 6 or 7 years old, I remember being acutely aware that my parents didn't have much money. So when it came to birthdays etc, I would never ask for all that much and I'd tell my little brother off if he did. "Aww" lol. Apologies for this badly written ramble, I'm a bit hungover.

This is probably too simplistic, but the more debate about the latest government moves, the better. (And I'm more than happy to be corrected). The government is now (apparently) lender of 45% of the mortgages in the UK. If house prices continue to drop, defaults rise and the economy worsens, where does this leave the government's latest bailout? It's my view that lending cannot return to how it was (yeah, no shit Sherlock) despite the government rhetoric to the contrary. The underlying problems (ie, too much going out and not enough comming in) are still there for people in this country. Nothing much has changed from what I can see, except that banks due to fail have been propped up by an injection of money. The bad debt/dodgy MBS investments are still on the books of various banks, it's just that the government own some shares now. Well, so what? Is the bad debt/MBS sh1te now good? No, it's still all cr*p. Are many people still unaffordably indebted? Yes. Will they default? Yes. The only difference that I can see is that it is now the government (taxpayer) that will eat the cost as things continue to sour. If this is so, then surely the government have f**ked themselves (and us) further because there will be even less public money to stimulate the economy via the usual Keynesian methods. Surely just a matter of time before the stock market realises that nothing has really changed?

It's ok; it was only Injin Dollars. I have a few million of them myself.

I think auction prices are up. More private buyers imo, paying above 'value' prices.

What in God's name are you blathering on about? I can go to your neighbours house, try to break in, murder him and take his stuff. To defend himself, the neighbour can call the police and they will come and arrest me. "Emperically" this is a fact. Try it for yourself. Even better, there are laws and consequences for breaking them. The threat of arrest and imprisonment is enough of a defence for your neighbour against most people. There are those who might try to claim ownership of his things (this is theft). These people end up arrested and imprisoned. I'm sure you will come back with some unclear nonsense as to why you are right and 99% of society is wrong and deluded. Being delusional is tiring work, so I shall have to retire from the debate for now. Goodnight all.

Your next door neighbour's defence is the police and the law. Defence has evolved in civilised society. Hence why "states" form in the first place. You answer all of your own questions.

It implies nothing, except what it says. Land belongs to those who can defend it. "Facts" to confirm this can be drawn from human history (all of it). Means of defence have changed, the principal has not. Witness "territory" in the natural world for even more confirmation. Rules, regulations etc etc, that's just modern day, "civilised" defence -- which as you often point out, leads to men with guns at the very end of the line. Still, the statement stands true. *edited a bit for terrible spelling/typing, etc --im tired!

There is a very simple phrase, perfectly logical, that should be the beginning and end of all "Injin's World" debates: Land belongs to those who can defend it.

So hypothetically, if you had to keep your savings with just 1 institution, which would it be? Seems like the popular opinion here is either Nationwide or HSBC, but which is the best? (I know you can use both, but I'd still like opinions on which is indeed the safest place).

Any chance you can get him to start posting on here, VMR?

Thinly veiled "I am rich enough to have had a cleaner and you aren't" thread, imo.

Yeah, King Street would be it (I forgot that King Street spans across there aswell as down to The Waterfront). That seems like a lot of money; they were far from finished when I was there but I remember them being on the small side. Cheers for the info, Matt.

Anyone know how much the flats in the "Anglia Television" redevelopment went for? The first lot of them, I worked as a labourer for the kitchen fitters (that was ******ing hard work, moving washing machines, worktops etc up a couple of flights of stairs all day lol). That would have been about 2 years ago now (I've been away from Norwich for a year but I'm going back soon). Just curious if anyone knows what happened to these flats (Old Anglia TV building at the top of Prince of Wales Road, although the entrance to it would be the road round the back, that I can't remember the name of).

http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/taf.htm Under the Term Auction Facility (TAF), the Federal Reserve will auction term funds to depository institutions. All depository institutions that are eligible to borrow under the primary credit program will be eligible to participate in TAF auctions. All advances must be fully collateralized. Each TAF auction will be for a fixed amount, with the rate determined by the auction process (subject to a minimum bid rate). Bids will be submitted by phone through local Reserve Banks. First question, what are the loans collateralized with? Now, my main questions. Since the first loans, the amounts have been ever increasing. (source the above link) 17th dec - $20billion (28 days) 20th dec - $20billion (35 days) 14th jan 08 - $30billion (28 days) 28th jan 08 - $30billion (28 days) 11th feb - 30billion (28 days) 25th feb - 30billion (28 days) 10 mar - 50billion (28 days) 24 mar - 50 billion (28 days) 7 apr - 50 bilion (28 days) 21 apr - 50 billion (28 days) 5 may - 75billion (28 days) 19 may- 75billion (28 days) 2 june - 75billion (28 days) Why are the amounts ever increasing? Are banks merely borrowing more and more to cover interest from previous loans? What's the main purpose of them borrowing this money in the first place, is it to stay afloat? According to the article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtm...9/cndebt129.xml there are now concerns that the Fed itself may be exhausting its $800bn (£399bn) stock of assets. It has swapped almost $300bn of 10-year Treasuries for questionable mortgage debt, and provided Term Auction Credit of $130bn. So they 'only' have $800b assets to lend? Take $300b from that (10 year treasuries) and put in it's place, mortgage securities of "questionable" value. How are these ever increasing auction loans going to be funded and if they can't be, what are the consequences? Further to the previous question, is this the reason for the "accounting changes" reported in the FT. (I read this in another thread here)? Whereby, banks may have to take the $5000B of "assets" back on to their balance sheets? Help a retard (me) out coz my head is going to explode.
