    No... thank you... just knowing that you are there, that you exist, as I say, makes me realise just how lucky I am. Bet you have lots of 'friends'. Will you be heading out tonite.... a few 'sherberts' perhaps, life and soul, surrounded by loadsapeople. F**k me... I'm now finding myself wishing I WAS YOU. Swap places ?

    No Joe, home to the wife tonight Joe. Just me and herself. Can you speak Spanish Joe, that would be the problem with the whole Kafka-esque proposal here. Not sure you'd get to far over here without the old lingo Joe. I'll consider your proposal carefully though Joe.

    Yours, still on those tenterhooks waiting for that evidence Joe.

    Your constant ............. speaks louder than any real evidence ever could.

    Aw.... that's nice... another one....

    You must live naked in a hole in the ground and type this in on a pc made out of wood, spider webs and lightning....

    What am I on about you ask? well theres no way any of us can pass a day of life in the west, without breaking the truly walter mitty code of yours that you want us all to live by.

    whether is cheap clothes from bangladesh or an iphone from a crappy factory in the arseh0le end of china, we in the west live on others hardships, it may not be ideal and to some it is unpalatable, but for the VAST majority of us we have way too many little silly personal issues to struggle through day by day (firstworldproblems) to give a f*ck... the only way around this is to become a nation of hermits and live off the land!!!

    So in essence, youre off your rocker my friend. You simply cannot blame the ordinary folks who've worked for a massive corporation, some for many years, for the secret (to those workers at the time) failings and misappropriations of a minority at the top. Thats like executing every German at the end of ww2 because Hitler ruled them.

    Theres a tree, you should go hug it.

    Ah Joe, now we're on the playground Joe. You're better than that Joe. Don't tell me you're sinking down to that level Joe.

    Una cerveza Jose...una

    The wife says hello Joe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 280 ✭✭AnOrdinaryJoe


    Still waiting for evidence or some sort of credible argument that no ordinary person i.e. an 'ordinary' bank employee/official engaged in any sort of activity which was connected to the ripping off of another or several ordinary person(s), and that all of that sort of thing was simply carried out by and restricted to the fat cat manipulators at the very top.

    Perhaps you could help me with this I am pie...... what..... you can't...... why not ?

    That's a helluva surprise......

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,652 ✭✭✭I am pie


    Tis a bit late for you to be talking about points Joe, a bit late in the day Joe.

    Careful with that thing on the plane Joe. Check down the back of the sofa when you get in, see if you find any of that evidence in there Joe.

    Adios Joe, back to the real world Joe. Join us some time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭RossFixxxed


    Yeah I gotta bail, the trolling was fun for a bit Joe but now you've run out of steam. There's no evidence, the burden of proof is on you and the replies aren't funny anymore. It was fun while it lasted.

    F**k sake Iam..... how could I find something that doesn't exist.... are you mad or something ?

    I really do have to run otherwise one lucky person will actually be unlucky if the adjacent aeroplane seat is empty.

    So very quickly..... An admission from AnOrdinaryJoe: no ordinary man or woman has ever been ripped off or a victim of any sharp practice by any bank employee/official who was not a highly senior executive i.e.CEO, Chairman or the like.

    And any commissions made to any bank employee/official who was not a highly senior executive i.e.CEO, Chairman or the like, relating to any rip off or sharp practice were actually just bonus payments for being a nice person.

    There...... happy ?

    Aw.... there's Old 'RBS didn't do Libor fraud' and Grey again.... the man....or woman, with no credible retort or argument. I like you too, I'd like you even more Old and Grey if you would come back with a credible and meaningful response to your highly inaccurate 'RBS don't do Libor fraud' comment.

    I just peed a little! :) Have a safe flight ya mad thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 280 ✭✭AnOrdinaryJoe


    Well perhaps Joe you might get your facts correct first, for instance regarding your opening post RBS are NOT the bank that was found to be behind the LIBOR scandal, that was Barclays and UBS both of which were hit by huge fines.

    AnOrdinaryJoe arrived home safely and has noted that you old 'liker' Old and Grey still hasn't posted evidence or whatever to disprove the fact that RBS engaged in Libor fraud and therefore to prove your assertion that they didn't was factual and accurate.

    C'mon Old and Grey..... supporting evidence please...... integrity and all that being to admit if (when) you get something wrong.

    And I am pie...... why haven't you asked Old and Grey for evidence to support his incorrect assertion re the above when you continually ask for evidence that some bank officials/employees who were not senior execs ala CEO, Chairman and the like, ripped off fellow ordinary people when clearly this was the case i.e. fraudulent PPI mis-selling and commissions and bonuses paid to the advisors/sellers who were not the CEO's, Chairmen Super Crooks and the like ?

    Just asking ?

    Oh ! Never tried that..... is it nice ? I see you're not out of bulls**t and you aren't man or woman enough to refer to your wholly inaccurate post about Ulster Bank parent RBS and maybe correct your statement. Some people might have believed what Old and Grey when you stated that RBS hadn't engaged in Libor fraud, when if fact they were one of the largest fraudsters. Why were you adamant that they hadn't and disingenuously posted so ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭Nemeses


    Yo joe,

    I've forgotten what your original point was...


    Would you mind refreshing my memory again?

    Why is it that some assume that all ordinary bank employees have zero to do with what their employers got up do.

    Obviously it is the fat cats at the top who benefit the most and who in fact set the corporate tone.

    But don't tell me that all ordinary bank employees or officials did not know that some of the stuff they were asked to do and complied with by doing were wrong.

    Just because they were 'ordinary' people did not in my opinion make it acceptable or give them the right to engage in or be complicit to any activity which ripped off or had any negative impact on fellow citizens.

    Personally speaking, whilst acknowledging that ordinary people who were also bank employees/officials have the same sort of commitments and responsibilities as most other ordinary people i.e. mortgage, rent, utilities, food, etc, as an ordinary person myself I'd rather have the money I earn available to pay my bills etc that for it to be spilt between corrupt bank employers (who no doubt took / take the lion's share) and 'ordinary person' bank employees via commissions, or even via normal wages, for the latter to pay their bills.

    Doesn't take away who the real villains are, namely the fact cats at the top, but as I said before, and continue to say .... the scumbags couldn't have done it all on their own,.

    Just because someone has bills to bay, the same bills as most people, doesn't give anyone the right to be complicit to the ripping off of fellow ordinary people.

    Not sorry if that offends some.
