    It's going to get messy...

    Anyone at Lehmans here care to shed some light on what the situation's like there?
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

    Looks like the USA is about to buy itself another cheap bank.

    (cheap as in price, not value)

      I'm not in Lehman's, but I'll tell you one thing; a mate of mine from College works there now.

      In the mid 80's, had to take his 'O'-level maths THREE times, and still failed. A distant relative of mine, who was 16 during matey's final attempt at numeracy, caught him COUNTING ON HIS FINGERS in class. And this guy (matey), to this day, doesn't have a facetious or sarcastic bone in his body. On his Facebook profile he proclaims - with all sincerity - "Lehman's really look after me".

      YOU do the maths.

          It's a shame that Gordon Brown appears to count on his fingers also !!

            I should add, I only hung around with him because he had the damnedest ability to rope in the sexiest babes in College, and I was drowning in my own testosterone, I thought it best to endure his .

            That was the 80's - today he's lost his looks and is shacked up with a single mother with 3 kids, one from her previous marriage.

            I certainly feel sorry for him today, that's for sure...

                The biggest question is how much money does Lehmans owe to British banks ?

                  Everything linked globally these days - exposure to other regions important too.

                    Biggest losers are the Lehman's share holders their shares were around $50 now around $3.

                    I am shocked that the US Ferderal reserve haven't bailed them out.
