View Full Version : Wall Street Crashes Again

Someone wake up the Colonel (I hope he's OK - or did I miss a fight?).

Seems they are getting used to these.

It seems everyone THERE went to sleep thinking maybe the election made it all go away.

And it's official again, it's a recession.

From the NYT ...


Dow Plunges 680 Points as Recession Is Declared
DOW
S & P 500
NASDAQ

Published: December 1, 2008

The evidence of a recession has been widespread for months: slower production, stagnant wages and hundreds of thousands of lost jobs.

Report by the National Bureau of Economic Research

But the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economic Research, charged with making the call for the history books, waited until now to make it official — and the announcement came on a day when the American stock market fell nearly 9 percent in a single session.

I don't think it's the Colonel that needs waking up Arnold if this news has come as a surprise to you. By the way, in regard to the the bald headed old cunt, he is overseas on business and hasn't posted for a while. However, you may want to check out his blog, which he has posted in and updated. Seems like the LOS is finally going to be shot of him. No doubt there will be parties in the street when the day comes for him to leave for his new Asian home.

I doubt that his move will make any difference to him continuing to annoy the fuck out of some of our members here, of which I do not include myself. To be honest with you, I have missed the old bastard, not a fucking lot mind you, but I have missed him. Don't you be going letting him know that Arnold now, will you? http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk216/ThaiRakThai/wink_smile.gif


Cheers,

George, I miss him too......in a strange sort of way (sorta like I miss that boil on my ass I used to have). I do hope the bald, old, cunt, dons a yellow sari and slips his sorry ass back through Suvarnabhumi one of these days. Cause, ya know, the Colonel really loves me....

Seems like the LOS is finally going to be shot of him.He seems to think Thailand is in some sort of end-game. The party's over and he's beating a strategic retreat. I had already decided to put my plans for setting up a Pattaya base on hold. It looks like the old bastard was right again if he's as advanced in his plans as his Blog suggests.

What is it with the pair of us Bob, actually admitting, not in a PM but in an open post on the forum, that we actually miss him. Mmmmmmm http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk216/ThaiRakThai/502_scratching_chin.gif Do you think Bob that as a result of this, we should both seek help?


I had already decided to put my plans for setting up a Pattaya base on hold.

First of all today, I read news that Hommie is leaving Thailand and now, not believing it possible, I am feeling even more ecstatic with the news that you have provided me with above Curios. What an absolutely fabulous day today is turning out to be and, it just keeps getting better and better. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk216/ThaiRakThai/big-grin.gif

The day is so good, I can feel a song coming on. OK guys, let's take it from the top.

Zip-a-dee-do-dah
Zippadee-ay,
Curios is not coming to Pattaya
and Hommies going away.
Plenty of sunshine is coming my way
All my prayers have been answered
in every way.

Mr. Bluebird`s on my shoulder,
It`s the truth,
this news is factual,
Everything is gonna be satisfactual.

Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da,
Zippadee-ay,
Wonderful feeling,
What a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine is coming my way
Things can't get much better
Hip Hip Hip Hooray.


Cheers,


George.

Not a chance, George (or at least that's what the little man on my shoulder just told me).

needs waking up Arnold if this news has come as a surprise to you. By the way

No new news to me. But I can think of 250 million plus 70 million I wish would wake up.

The old fart left because after all this time, he finally found out I was yanking his chain for the past year. I would have left too if some one of my so called intelligence level had bested the old fart.

if he's as advanced in his plans as his Blog suggests.

Don't EVER click that link to his blog. You've been warned.

He'd have us believing he was writing for the Economist or a prime-time American cartoon, if he could. But he's not. He's wiped out and applying for a job and doesn't want to feel like he needs to put down where he's been, for the moment, at least, until the rejections come mid-January.

Who cares?
