How to lose £11,000 without even noticing
I’ve just lost a little over £11,000. Or, to be strictly accurate, I’ve
just discovered that I’ve lost a little over £11,000. The loss actually
accumulated over the past year or so but I’ve been too busy with other
things to realise that what used to be the British building society
sector has being going to hell in a handcart. To be honest, I probably
wouldn’t even have noticed now if it wasn’t for the fact that HBOS’s
attempt to dig itself out of a financial hole by issuing a load of new
shares hadn’t drawn my attention to it...

Right, so every mistake was yours ("took my eye off the ball" etc.)
None of it was actually your money. (apart form redundancy in the '80's,
but as you flippantly say: "we were all being made redundant then")
Your main criticism is that others made more than you. Stop crying. You're the one to blame.

I've lost money on shares but the _only_ person I blame is myself.

Maybe you & all the whingers out there should take a look in the mirror to see the real reason you f&*ked up.

"more interested in football" - what the hell do you expect?
