    Bonds for me. Mostly FRN's. Was that Citicorp?, as it was? Or the old Sollies, which is now part of Citibank

    I got offered a job by CSFB in London when I returned, but was offered a better deal elsewhere.

    I found working for the septics fairly simple. If you were making money, you were "a great guy" and could do pretty much whatever you wanted to. if not, you were a schmuck and you were dead. Harsh, but at least you knew what the rules were.

    PESKIE's the kind of straight-man who thinks he's the funny one. He's all three of The Three Stooges rolled into one, but with all the humour taken out, so all that you are left with is someone who continually twats himself, over and over again, but without a script and with no laughter track.

    All I can say is that you obviously don't need to take an IQ test to be a Lawyer <laugh>

    and that makes you Ernie Wise, someone who thinks he is clever, funny, and of course very important.

    when in fact you are a short arsed nobody that everyone wishes had died rather than Eric

  9. Er... Actually, it would make me Eric, but who the hell is talking about Eric and Little Ern?

    I'm talking about clowns. To my Achille Zavatta, PESKIE is a Ronald MacDonald, only not a very good one and far, far camper.

    if you two are a double act than you are little Ern and Piskie is Eric

  11. But we've already established the fact that we're not a double-act. Yes, we are both clowns, but there is pathos in my act; I engage my audience on both an emotional and an intellectual level. PESKIE doesn't even have an act. I play the clown, he is a clown. As I said in an earlier post, he is The Three Stooges rolled into one, but without a script and without humour, so all that is left is someone continually poking himself in the eye for no purpose, whatsoever.

    If ever we did team up to perform a double-act, I'd effectively use PESKIE as a twatting machine, and I'd probably hit him with everything I had in my comedic arsenal (planks of wood, hammers, anvils, cannonballs, etc), and admist the laughter, I would force my audience to contemplate the meaning of their lives. PESKIE, on the other hand. would, after the show had finished, retire backstage, bruised and confused, wondering what the **** just happened.

    and he would just use the punch line "53 years 8 months 30 days 17 hours 46 minutes since they last won the league"

    Spurs have kept is all laughing for over half a century now !

    are Spurs a big club ... er no, Spurs a big joke.. yes.

    HIAG if you are aged under 53 you have NEVER even seen your team win the title, and if you are older than 53 you will NEVER ever see them win it again.

    so enjoy your triumph of being above us until St Totteringham Day

  13. Hm.

    St Totteringham Day is getting later and later in the season, isn't it!

    Who knows, perhaps there won't be a St Totteringham Day, at all, this season? Perhaps we'll see the birth of St Arsehole's Day - the day when, mathematically, it is impossible for Arsenal to finish higher than us. We all know that it will happen, one day.

    I have seen Spurs win it and I hope to see them win it again one day. Having said that, the way the game is going nowadays with clubs effectively owned by oil States, multi-billionaire Russian Mafia crooks, etc, it seems unlikely.

    Unfortunately, for you, I think the same applies to Arsenal. As things are currently, I can't see them ever winning it again either.

    very true,
     
    #155
  16. Neither Spurs nor Arsenal will win the Prem or any major Euro honours, not unless we go the same way as Chavs and £ity and sell our souls to tax dodgers and crooks. However, I am greatly looking forward to the day when we regularly keep Arsenal out of the top 4, and celebrate St Arsehole's Day every season.

    you didn't answer if you are older or younger than 53

  18. Another win in the bag and we move, yet again, above Arsenal. Shame QPR bottled it against United, as I can see us powering above them, into 3rd, very shortly.

    An anorexic midget on acid has more chance of "powering into 3rd" than the Yids. Settle down son.

  20. When Poch shifts the mighty Spurs juggernaut through its gears, there is little to stop that awesome beast.

    (I'm going to write that line in my blog).
