Face Palmer User ID: 17098341 Germany 06/01/2012 06:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He's a fear monger but he has the best news collection "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

We've just tried it out on our terminal and it leads to nothing but a blank screen and a message claiming: "Access to this security is restricted by its supplier". It's always best to be prepared, don't you think? |
