Some help to shut a manc up....

Bafflement is something i associate with people of your age, as it goes.

I think it's fairly normal, so dont worry.

What's the point of you reading and contributing to this thread, Neil?


What's the point of life?

That's deep, maaaaan.

[Reece]

Oh, I didn't see there was a second page with loads more replies.

[Craig_H]

When you break it down, it comes to that in the end.

There's very little 'real' point in most things we do, other than to pass time, cure boredom and suchlike.

[Red_Polo]

I think most of us find more meaning in some things than others though.

What Neil's getting at is...your whole, like, perspective on things is outta whack, man.

[dizzycat]

As to original question. Two word answer on front of shirts.

Standard Chartered.

What is my 'whole, like, perspective on things' ?

This should be fun...

A debt of £500 mill is not manageable, she needs to wise up and realise just how much debt that is!Floating on the HK bors for £1.7 bill, this will never happen. The figures are pure fantasy, it will not happen, there is just too much debt. This lass along with all the other prawn sarnie eaters, live in cloud ****ing cuckoo land.

[Craig_H]

Yeah but she reads about a potential HK floatation and 'cos its in the paper, innit?', she believes it.

[Gingawaria]

The Mancs in work are similarly deluded, they seem to think they've got about 100mil to spend. When I ask where from they just stare blankly.

It is the same "Pie in the sky" ****e as H & G were spinning. How did that end

Tell her to blow it up her arse

The £100 mill is a £100 mill of increased debt. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Craig_H]

All she can say in answer to the question is "we're profitable, we'll spend from our profits" - completely ignoring the fact that their figures for 2009 showed a £21m profit - only because they took £80m for Ronaldo. And their 2009 figures show an annual loss of over £100m.

She seems to think that's suddenly going to swing by £200m or so, to show a profit of about £100m to pay their debt costs and spend big in the market. She just sticks to that word 'profits' even though there have been none to speak of for a couple of years.

That's what i also said to her - i told her, maybe they can borrow more in order to spend in the market - but that'll just mean more debt, which is fine by me. At the end of the day, the debt WILL have to be paid off and until it is, it WILL cost ****loads annually to service.

She just keeps bleating about 'profits' - even though their annual accounts dont show any

[ashey]

I have the same **** with Mancs in my office. I just laugh at them & say "we'll see mate, we'll see!"
However, when it all goes tits up for them, and / or when we win the league, I'm gonna give 'em both ****in' barrels!!!!
