The same place...no wonder the Romans built a wall to keep them all in
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

Firstly the Romans built their wall as The Scots/ Celts were the only people in Europe that the Roman Empire could not conquer.......

Secondly Si you really must accept that fact that your nation really is ruled over by the Scots :lol:

Also glad to see the Obama is proud to admit his Scottish Heritage, he has traced his family roots back to 13th Century Scots.........

What a nation eh, ok am now off to get ready to see Sigur Ros tonight .......

A fact he conveniently kept quiet. America is not ready for a Scottish president.

My president

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

It's my understanding you can take away his life, but you can't take away his freedom. Or that's what I heard, anyway.


Mmm. Takeaway haggis. It's what's for dinner.

Lotto numbers in Chicago day after election: 666 and 7779?!?
Pick 3 and 4 numbers. 666 is the number of the antichrist. 777 is the number of God and 9 is the number of judgment!!!

I thought you were a pinko commie liberal.

Now you're talking about the end days?

“Twenty-five billion dollars is obviously going to help the folks who are struggling more than Chase,” he began. “What we do think it will help us do is perhaps be a little bit more active on the acquisition side or opportunistic side for some banks who are still struggling. And I would not assume that we are done on the acquisition side just because of the Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns mergers. I think there are going to be some great opportunities for us to grow in this environment, and I think we have an opportunity to use that $25 billion in that way and obviously depending on whether recession turns into depression or what happens in the future, you know, we have that as a backstop.”

Read that answer as many times as you want — you are not going to find a single word in there about making loans to help the American economy. On the contrary: at another point in the conference call, the same executive (who I’m not naming because he didn’t know I would be listening in) explained that “loan dollars are down significantly.” He added, “We would think that loan volume will continue to go down as we continue to tighten credit to fully reflect the high cost of pricing on the loan side.” In other words JPMorgan has no intention of turning on the lending spigot.
