Re Financial Advisers - Take a read of this, from Greg Smith who is resigning today as a Goldman Sachs executive director and head of the firm's United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Basically a bloody well paid Financial Adviser.

Amen to that.
Kix, we aren't all cowboys you know.
Some of us do care and practice proper holistic financial planning, rather than flogging unsuitable savings plans. But can we get back to slagging off celebrities as that's more fun?

Re: Room 101
"Make the client the focal point of your business again. Without clients you will not make money. In fact, you will not exist. Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm. And get the culture right again, so people want to work here for the right reasons. People who care only about making money will not sustain this firm - or the trust of its clients - for very much longer"
Amen to that.

Re: Room 101
Not the George Orwell book, but the current TV show.
Let's try and get some conversation going. I will pick a category each day and you lot have to pick your suggestion to be consigned to history, with an explanation. Got it?
Today's category is 'A celebrity'
My choice is Lulu. I absolutely loathe the short, shouty, ginger Scottish dwarf who hasn't had a decent record since 1974 (ignoring when she shagged half of take That) yet still releases albums on a regular basis. I want to know who on earth buys them. She has clearly had so much plastic surgery it's a wonder she can still 'sing'.
Even typing that about the vile harridan makes me feel a bit stabby.
Anyway, your choice plus explanation please, in the category of 'a celebrity'.

Re: Room 101
Anyone from Big Brother and other reallity tv shows that are famous for 5 minutes and think they are the bees knees (never really understood that saying- why are the bees knees so good?). Anyway all crappy z listers and anyone that is famous for pretty much nothing- the Hiltons, Kardashians, all of that shit. The world was a better place before we had reality tv!
Also Jordan, Jodie Marsh, anyother silicon enhanced bore.
Basically anyone that regularly gets featured in heat magazine.
Can I also include heat magazine and other gossip mags- its kind of celeb related- I absolutely hate them, I used to enjoy going into whsmith- now its rows and rows of gossip mags that have created a national obsession with nobodies- once upon a time people were famous for actually doing something. And seeing that I am adding gossip magazines I'm going to include reality tv shows as well. all of them , even the jungle one-although the apprentice can stay.
erm what else- ooo can I put in celeb clothing ranges. Ranges that are 'designed' by a celebrity - right of course they are, bin them please Meow! Actually all Celebrity endorsements, unless they make nice really creative commercials like the Baz Luhrman Chanel one with Nicole Kidman and the Dior one with Charlize Theron - they can stay-( and anything with Ryan reynolds in it is ok too) everything else- such as because your worth it can go please.
Oh and the nolan woman from loose women- she winds me up, actually all the women from loose women.
Who else... Vanessa Paradis- so then Jonny Depp would be mine
and Hugh Jackmans wife for the same reason.
I think thats it.
actually I'm sure it isn't I shall come back with more once I've thought about it.
