I think you will find it *did* fail to safe. (To suggest otherwise implies you do not understand what failsafe means!).
Good god! It's difficult to make out if this is ignorance, a poor attempt at satire or simply trolling.
You appear to be suggesting that fun hobbies which don't make money are a 'failure' rather than a success. Not everything is judged by how much money it makes. Have you ever wondered why kids climb trees?
> whose failing businesses they bankroll Don't confuse a hobby business with a failing business. Plenty of people with independent means run loss making businesses for fun and/or support wives/children doing just that.
> Employees were invited to invest their retirement savings in a mutual fund that contained only WorldCom stock. Investing in your own employer is an idiotic risk..... If the company goes titsup, then you lose your job…
£50 to a spat out smartie says you've never ridden a motorbike in your life, let alone in city traffic.
It's hardly complicated! OP is simply describing what is common throughout government in the UK. This is known as the Revolving Door. Private Eye magazine wrote a special report on it some years back as, frankly, it is…
We used to advocate governments turning off the internet on Friday nights and redirecting all WWW traffic to a test-card that says "Go to the pub".
Stupidly dangerous and (in my country) illegal. Please retract your comment and don't encourage such stupidity. EDIT: Since this is being misinterpreted... Earplugs that deaden sound are fine and encouraged on a…
Have you tried simply telling people you don't want to talk? "Sorry mate, I'm reading" is hardly difficult.

Pretty damn good; not least because each store (aside from the smallest) has their own on-site butcher and fishmonger. Not to mention a decent deli.
> most mould is caused by buildings. An honourable mention to fitting Cavity Wall Insulation, heavily sold and encouraged by UK government energy saving schemes thorough the 1990's and 2000's. Except by stuffing the…

The UK is different old boy.
Yup.... And the downside is loads of reasonably successful decent small shops in the UK now have to close after 12-24 months when the rents get jacked-up from sensible to astronomical levels. None of them become…
At some point, you don't need to stand on the scales for it to be obvious you are a fat bastard. Ditto, it's obvious to all that commercial property has lost a huge amount of value. I suggest that like the…
You're not wrong. There is a particular irony about Rolex, as historically they made good quality tool watches, aimed at divers, pilots, scientists etc. These were affordable, akin to a photographer buying a good…
