      Truly glad to hear it, though I was just joking about your willingness to hire on for 2 beers and a bolt. Have you narrowed it down by country or are you still open to anywhere?

        So do I. First it became a 10 pin bowling alley. Then a Kwik Save. Next a carpet warehouse. Now it's a Wetherspoon's.

          I think I didn't start soon enough. Some of the replies I've received are like: "we've received an unusual number of submissions for the position...". So, uh, yeeeeaaaah...150,000+ finance sector unemployed = not good. Guess I'm not the only one with my idea. I'm pretty much open to anywhere (within reason). The U.S. is out - too difficult to get a work permit, etc... I'm open to anywhere Europe and Asia basically. Luxembourg could be interesting.

            Yeowks! Although if General Ford & Chrysler, inc go belly up, we'll have 3 mil hit the unemployments roles in one feel swoop. That'll take Michigan down and out, which'll lower the boom of the other 49, I suspect. At that point work permits will become non-existant, I'm afraid.

              That is the way of Empires! I would take back Kenya and Rhodesia. Incidentally, did you know that Ethiopia is the only African country never to have been colonised?

              Why do you call it Rhodesia rather than Zimbabwe?

                We never had Pakistan, it was never part of the Empire! We had the area when it was part of India, but after it went independant, it was merely Commonwealth, not Empire. India can have it back if they like!

                    I guess we can say that the LIBOR is fixed, but it doesn't seem to have encouraged anyone to start offering credit again. Pretty soon, it won't matter because the US government will have put so much new fiat in circulation that it'll be worth more as toilet paper.
