Mar 18th, 2016 - 07:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the British market aint to bad,
the papers say that Europe is on the brink.
India is growing, and china is stable ,
perhaps the future will be brighter,
esp. after 23rd June.
who knows.
I prefer my safe haven to Luci's safe haven. At least my government will help me out if I fall on hard times and I don't have to worry about a potential populist head of state interfering in the markets.

Mar 19th, 2016 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let me explain that link for you.
They are NOT real people: it's a cartoon full of cartoon characters.
Nothing to do with Australia, it's a yank cartoon.
Glad to have been of help.

“Australia? Most people I know wouldn't consider it civilisation.”
Mar 20th, 2016 - 03:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0That is a reflection on the calibre of people that Luci surrounds himself with.
Quite telling of her and their intelligence level.
Simple people never let facts get in the way of their reality..... Luci is just an American version of Brasileiro and Nostrils.
Don't forget the Simpsons.
Mar 20th, 2016 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Simpsons?
Mar 20th, 2016 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh was that the link? I didn't look. But just like Brasileiro - vacuous posts and worthless YouTube links. Who still looks at his links?
Yeah, exactly!
We can all see why you never did a Masters now, Luci. The Simpsons.... still shades of white trash even at your age Luci..... priceless.
Are you going to pay taxes being an illegal coffeemaker in Canada or just take a job from someone who really needs it.
Mar 21st, 2016 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Who knows?
Mar 21st, 2016 - 04:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not in Canada yet. And international students can work legally so unsure why you assume I will only need to work illegally.
Isn't there an age limit to what is considered a student?
Mar 21st, 2016 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a ridiculous concept.
Mar 21st, 2016 - 08:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As if you become to old to learn!
Is that how you see yourself at 50 Luci? Too old to learn anything? Trapped by the choices you made when young?
You're farcical Luci. What a beige, linear existence you endure.
Yes, there is an age limit. It is self-imposed on oneself when you consider you are incapable of changing and learning.
Too old to learn isn't quite the same as a perpetual student who is too afraid or too dumb to ever make it into a professional job.
Mar 22nd, 2016 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0How would you know?
Mar 22nd, 2016 - 12:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've been at uni for just over 3 years. How is that “perpetual”? If I'm “perpetual” then I could only be 21 years old about now..... doesn't seem to gel with your other claims on my age.
Just because you are stupid enough to let all your personal information on the internet doesn't mean I am. You have no idea what I've done before Uni. It eats you up because your only insults are pure guess work.
You graduated from a nothing university with a nothing degree in the 80s so you could stage and sell houses. Way to go! If that is what is considered success, then congratulations. You're now old and still working. Another 15 years and you can retire with all that money you made.
As I said, what a beige, linear existence you endure.
What exciting things have you got planned for the next decade? I know, how about you stage and sell some houses. Me, I'll get my degree. And a Masters.... something you were incapable of achieving in the past 30 years. I'll travel and live and study overseas.... each year you'll squeeze a couple of weeks of holidays in with some superficial travel to places like Budapest (woopdedo went there in my early 20s).
You fell for it. You fell for this idea that earning money was the secret to success. Money is just a tool... like you. You've spent your whole adult life earning and saving and spending money.
What's at the end of your “professional job”? Retirement. Same as the guy that sweeps the streets.
You reckon you cracked the secret to happiness and success and yet you're a hamster on a wheel running your pudgy arse off because you saw all the other hamsters doing the same thing.
You're not even too old to learn.... you're too old to change.
Such great wisdom from a wishful coffeemaker.
Mar 22nd, 2016 - 12:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least in your own head.
About the standard of comeback expected.
Mar 23rd, 2016 - 09:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0You must be the only person on here who gets younger each year.
Mar 23rd, 2016 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No accomplishments at 21 makes it sounds reasonable except you're really closer to 30.
Too bad time doesn't reverse for you.
By US standards you've aged out of being called a “student”.
We call those people losers.
I haven't claimed an age. It is you that keeps guessing, not me that keeps claiming. Unlike you, I'm anonymous. I know how to use the Internet wisely.
Mar 24th, 2016 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0So now I'm not a perpetual student? I'm now a loser? Interesting what you consider a loser.
I don't think you are a loser. Just old and boring. You just followed the path. The one time you deviated by moving to Argentina it wentarse up and you scurried back to safe and boring middle Americ.
College then work then retire. That's it.
Guess that's the path that 'winners' take and not “losers”.
You're nothing special. You just followed the same path as tens of millions of Americans without questioning or considering other options.
And now you've got to 50 and you can finally marry and...... well work until you retire I guess. Maybe travel a bit before the lifestyle choices and genetics kick in to prevent it........ YAWN!!!!!! Oh, wow, I think I nodded off there for a minute.
That winning life you lead...... riveting. So many twists and turns and deviations and surprises on that beige, linear path.
If you're winning then thank god I'm not.
