I’m having trouble reconciling a couple of contradictory sights I’ve been seeing.
The first thing I’ve been seeing a lot of is the news going on about how we’re all skint and worried.
The second thing is mobbed pubs.

I think you must be a bit slow.
People have less money so they want to drown their sorrows.
People have less money so can’t go on holiday, buy a new TV, etc… so instead of big purchases they spend small amounts in the pub.
You should think stuff threw more.
Aye
Pubs are always filled with the poor, it’s where people go to down their sorrows. Mobbed bars, now that’s a different story.
Aye, I’ve got a lot of my money in the icelandic bank and that’s fucked now. Another point. I was listening to the Alphabeat song ‘Boyfriend’ and see when the burd says ‘oh yeah’ it reminds me of the kind of ‘oh yeah’ that you hear in an American porno when they are getting boabied.
Here have a listen

Even if you didn’t think it before you will from now on.
Btw, for the record. I would bang that but a wee part of me would feel like I was tampering with Link from Zelda.
people drink to forget
because you drink anymore you forgot to remember that people forget
And what the hell do you mean by that?
I can’t enjoy a drink ‘cos I’m skint?
It’s never stopped wee blond lassies… you know… the “buy me a drink and I’ll lt you talk to me but yer no allowed to touch me ‘cos that would make me a whore” types.
Or it’s never stopped the wee skinny guys in gay bars doin the same as the wee blondies.
I’m now depending on the kindness of strangers is what I’m saying…
Limmy, see when yer up at the bar… get us a pint.
I’ll let you touch my nutsack
There was a report on the news last night saying that repairs of shoes have went through the roof because people – struggling under the present financial crisis – would rather not buy new footwear. Maybe they’re just trying tae save some money so they can go doon the boozers and get even mair fucked up. Hunner quid oan a new pair a’winter boots? Fuck that. Keep yer cash. Get a gram a ching in ye and batter intae toon for some £3.50 a pint action. The pubs’ll be full of cunts with big segs in their worn oot designer sannies, sliding aw over the place wi sparks flyin everywhere.
Only people with money are the ones who are skint, the ones who were skint in the first place cant get anymore skint than they already are, but they r skint cause they spend all their money in pubs, so the skint are fine. See makes perfect sense!
Sorry Limmy, we all can’t calm our woes with an Asda chocolate pud.
p.s. how’d you get the little picture things beside your name ? I don’t want to fade into anonymity will all these new people.
Yeah credit crunch my arse – that’s nothing. My parents are off to New York next year so they opened a credit card online last night with BT, 5 minutes later they’ve been approved a £5400 limit. ‘Oh, debt is a bad thing, so here’s hunners ae money to help you through it!’
Well Im skint and I dont care, do you want to know why?
I just got my halloween costume sorted: http://www.joke.co.uk/showPart_largeDD.asp?part=30352
So I’ll be jumpstyling it galore, like a gaylord of the dancefloor in the Garage on the 31st
“All aboard Captain Cockin’s Crabs Infested Vessel!”
Pub = Sactuary simple as. Who’s up for a pint!!
Al is a wanker and May is a rich wee whoore.
TJ Hooker – Hee,hee,hee. ‘Oh bayyyybeeee, yeah, yeah, yeah – you’re SOOOOO HAAAARRRDDDD, fuck me in the ass, yeah, yeah YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!’
American porn is pish – the guys all have mullets and the burds look like they’re moulded out of plastic. Euro-porn is the way to go – it has that authentic quality.
BTW – Not really on topic but there was a bit in the paper that said that some prison guy did a study of young offenders and 43% admitted to drinking Buckie just before committing their crime. 43%!!!!
The whole financial system is an absolute disgrace. The people who bought the “toxic debt” of the Americans should be prosecuted and jailed. It’s as simple as that. They gambled with their own customers money and lost.
Look at Nick Leeson. He gambled on futures and took a whole bank down. Isn’t this the same situation albeit by a different enterprise!?
The other day it was revealed AIG spent $400,000 on a junket last week in the wake of congress passing the $700billion bail out. This is going to go on and on as no matter how well the US and UK governments say the financial sector will be regulated some folk will milk it for what they can get.
It’s a bloody disgrace that banks are being bailed out by taxpayers when they are the ones who give us loans at high rates which when you think about it is our money in the first place (i.e depositors)
I’ve got a new idea. Let’s start a brand new bank. Everybody on here get together and stick a few quid in and start Limmy Bank PLC. We’ll have a clean slate (with no money borrowed off the government) and it won’t be long until punters start taking loans out through us. The bad news is that this is Scotland and I dare say the risk of default could be high. The good news is we we can just sell the debt to the other banks and we’ll be minted.
I’m skint. Made redundant 3 weeks ago.
Brian – would it be frowned upon to use a post on your blog to ask your contributors to let me know if they hear of any Health & Safety positions within the Glasgow-Edinburgh ‘corridor’?
Thought so.
Ah well.
recession my tits. i’m less skint now than ive ever been.
roon yees.
Exactly what Dave said. Exactly. (Apart from the Limmy bank bit). Get cunts jailed. Taxpayer’s money meant for schools, hospitals etc is getting spunked oan bailing oot these already ridiculously rich pricks.
I have nowhere to grow vegetables and I’m very, very angry.
Oh Oh Listen it’s one of them cosiranseries their hidin sumat….AHHH YESS so whats going on behind the scenes……Prince Philip has done a lady of the black em minority???!!!!
E.T. is on crack??!!
Pasta/pizza hut is taken over by the MI5!!???
that sounded arrogant as fuck.
i didnt mean ‘roon yees’. that was a sign off line.
Mobbed pubs during week day = bone idle lazy bastards
(not including those honest wans that have a sleekit day aff or ur retired)
HELP REQUIRED…VICTOR MORRIS
A while ago a limmy blog which mentioned Victor Morris (the guy who tools up the neds) attracted a comment from someone called “Ingy”. He mentioned that he had pulled a prank with Victor morris over the phone. If you still have this conversation Ingy, can you forward it to me at the email address below, I would love to hear it!! Also if anyone else has had similar experience then forward it to me. My email address is: stevencharr@btinternet.com…….Cheers
Here is the comment:
Biground…
When im next on msn ill forward you a cracking funny prank call we made to victor morris! With a suprisingly scarey outcome!
Goes along the lines of a us phoning them up and asking if they sell knifes that would be suitable to take out the bawbags that are hanging about the close…me n the missus have had enough!
Me: “Will a 7 inch blade do the job then?”
Victor morris: “yeh a 7 should do it”
More to the call than just tha but there answer was particulary frightening.
3 minute call but you will appreciate this one! Ill try get it on MP3 somehow
Cheers
Ingy
Out of all the times ive been skint, ive always had enough for a nite out and a right good booze up, during the student days bills would get blanked and booze would be bought its simple maths pay bill or get smashed on booze, mmmmmmm hard choice that one
Minted Stereo, I agree, my Limmy bank idea was a load of shite. But you get my point..!?
If everybody takes a fuckin good look at what is going on out there we should march on Westminster and tells these bastard (and investors themselves) MPs to stick their bail out clause up their arse.
To re-iterate my point, why the fuck is nobody actually raising a civil case or whatever against the big shots responsible for this catastrophy? Is there some kind of red tape involved!? Nobody has actually said “right, lets prosecute these cunts for royally fucking the financial system over with their quest for the easy buck?”
What I want to know is how the fuck we can’t just get the referendum vote now, tell England and Northern Ireland to beat it and claim the oil up north that is ours. If we invest the money from that into our own economy well be like “excuse me, what the fuck is a credit crunch again?”. All the sheep out there that talk a good game (about independance) and don’t do anything about it should be ashamed of themselves. That oil is ours! Ours a tell ye!
Dave, the government borrows money from the Bank Of England (which is a cartel of private banks), the same banks that are in trouble now. I agree that people who responsible should be charged if they broke rules, but this isn’t a few bad apples. I’m sure it will be painted like that in the future as with Leeson taking all the brunt – his superiors should have had decengt oversight.
This is a problem caused by the fundamental system of money in IMF countries. We have moved away from the gold standard toward paper money – which means there is nothing or value other than your obligation to pay the money back. That’s why the clamour to give out mortgages to people with bad credit backfired when people started saying they couldn’t pay it. If enough people say “fuck it” to paying back their mortages, the whole thing collapses and that is what has happened. Its not a total collapse at the moment though.
There is a guy running for president that only heard of when I was in America. He is called Ron Paul and he wants to change the fundamentals of the US economy to the gold standard and avoid the system of paper money. Obviously that would make him an enemy of every bank and corporation, which is why he never gets on TV. His slogan is: “google Ron Paul”.

True true! I had a discussion today with my former boss in the financial area about the economical marked nowdays…. We were disagreeing in everything !
So the sheep speaks out – here too in pubs & places about the independance of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Mikey G, can you not read? It’s Mays’ parents that are going to New York – not her. And even if she was going to the Big Apple, hardly reason for you to assume she’s a “rich wee whoore”, now is it? Perhaps it’s their only ever holiday that they’ve been saving up for for years? Or perhaps they’ve worked hard to earn their money and are jetting off in order to celebrate?
Learn some conversational skills. And how to spell.
*braces self for angry tirade of misspelt abuse*
I take it loads of people will have seen this already but it’s worth a swatch.

Yaas cheers Lou! Thought I was gonna have to step in and verbally bitch slap him myself
Are you joking Del Ron Paul!!!!
He is a republican/libetarian/populist= Right Wing Arsehole.I would rather have George Bush than him seriously mate Ron Paul is liked mostly by the crazy gun toting American types.
His view on the economy is all about total Deregulation and less government control.Naw mate Ron Paul get tae fuck.
Jobbo, you know fuck all about Ron Paul. Its obvious.
Aye thats right Delboy do your homework son.Ron Paul for fucksake how long were you in America 2 weeks and can I ask you were you stayed Alabama or some other Progressive state.
Dave, he wants a return to the Gold Standard, that’s about as big a regulation as you can get. I wasn’t advocating everything he stands for, but making the point he’s not getting the media coverage as big banks would be less powerful if his ideas were adopted. I’ve got a US work visa, worked there, been on holiday there, been all over except the West Coast – even been to the Redneck Riviera.
Ok Del maybe this is the one point I would agree with Ron Paul but he caters to the Lunatic Right way too much.Then again I live in the Peoples Republic of Seattle where the rest of America thinks we are goddamn heathens and Communists.
Jobbo, your a good man. I’m wondering when the world will adopt anarcho-syndicalism (check it out).
