Sunday Indo Tribute to Nik Leeson today

**geezer** · 28/12/2008, 9:14 PM

did anyone see the piece on sunday indo today about the pyramid schemer in the states who lost 50billion. The guy that wrote the piece seemed a bit perplexed that our beloved united are still alive while banks, solicitors and builders are gone whallop. What he doestn seem to realise is that utd have probably the most experience in boom and bust cycles of anyone in the world. In fact we are probaly world leaders in this sphere having regular 4 year repeats over the last 30 years kinda like the olympians of this kind of crises that everyone is caught up in...

Is 'Nick' really that hard to spell....?

Do Galway United really have world-leading experience in boom and bust ?

And why is the milka cow so lilac-y ?

Seems there must be something in the water over Galway-way that impacts rudimentary literacy...

The fact that half the forum had no clue what you were trying to say should perhaps make you think about the purpose of 'written language.'

The Nick Leeson article in the Independent gave him undeserved credit.
See easy.

Cue the inevitable. Does anyone understand what Cheifo is on about remarks.
