BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

rofl!you think it's communist. that's quite cute.
china is the most capitalist motherlicking place going. they have a false economy which is entirely controlled by their govt (and not related to the gold standard, or so ive heard - that could be bollocks, but they seem to be remarkably unphased by the "financial crisis" which "the rest of the world" is experiencing but not them).
in short they call it "socialism with chinese characteristics" (not shitting you either) which boils down to "capitalism but we can't say that because it's not politically correct". there are SEZs (special economic zones) in places like shanghai and shenzhen with "more autonomy" which really means "capitalist infrastructure" because they've seen how capitalism works (hongkong, macau, taiwan, rest of world) better than communism anyway.
communism in theory was / is quite good. in practice it is bollocks and fell apart in china before it could ever really start, perpetuated long beyond its use by the shithead they insist on putting on the vast majority of their coins (i refer of course to mao). anyway, long story short, china is not communist :)
