Apparently, some posters are not happy with some of the language being used here.

So please all play nicely.

I dunno – just as you'd expect the politicians that run our nation to behave.

You can't be castrated and be a complete pr/ck at the same time.
HTH

But, you can.

I'm not sure which type of language Mintball is alluding to, so all I'll say is check what castration actually means.

Start a thread , we can let ' Muggers ' on it

To clarify: play nicely.

I'm sure that you can all work out how to do that.

So today the pound is down , but the ftse's are up , anybody want to explain to us mere mortals if that's good , bad or just normal ?

The pound is down for 2 reasons. Firstly the BofE said that because the economy was now looking grim post-Brexit, they'd probably lower interest rates in the short-term. The value of a currency is directly related to domestic interest rates, so the pound fell. Also, he apparently hinted at further QE. That's not as straightforward as printing money, but there's a basic element of truth to that. Again, increase the supply of money, and the currency generally falls. You can see how closely the drop off a cliff today coincided with Carney's speech.

As for the FTSE, as per yesterday's posts, it's short-term volatility driven by nothing more than duelling algos.

Having one's taddies removed, which parts are essential to the complete pr/ck as was designed by the sky pixie.
Unless I am mistaken.
It was meant in levity ... just to lighten the gloom on here a bit.
It failed.

So good , bad or normal ?

Of topic I know, but can I ask if the return of some old posters and the apparent 'going for a lie down' of a certain tyrant is an attempt to rescue the sin bin?

Because ... it's working.
lol

Coincidence I suppose.
