Damn - I may have to buy slightly less expensive champagne.

This is unacceptable.

Those poor wee fat cats ....

Those fuukkers should be paying back previous years' bonuses. This is not a problem that's just happened. It's a result of years of recklessness, which I add was encouraged by governments near and far.

I think most of them have spent it having a bloody good time.

But I spent mine. I don't have it any more.

And all you have to how for it is an Aygo, a Peckham bedsit and an old maths text book.

How will they afford the upkeep on their mansions? those poor souls....

hardly matters to the tax man though....I reckon theyre paid in a tax haven account somewhere.

Good luck to them. If they are well-earned bonuses then the companies must be making a profit, and that is good for the economy.

If bonuses are paid and companies are failing, then let the companies go bust.
