      Great, all those unemployed bankers should have no trouble securing a role in the service industry.

          Is this what they mean by a Bear market?
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            It's OK for 7000 highly paid city type jobs to go as I've heard that Asda are looking to open a few more stores down there - that should take care of a large chunk of them.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              Get 'em out in fields picking me cabbages. Lazy fookers.

              Hopefully most of them are up to their eyeballs in mortgage debt.

                  How about sasguru? I heard the circus is looking for a new clown.
                  I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                    Northern Rock to axe a third of staff

                    Mr Sandler's scheme to cut up to 2,500 of the Newcastle-based lender's 6,000 staff will be highly sensitive politically, as the job losses will come in key Labour constituencies in the North East. Unions have already voiced their concerns, demanding a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies.
