    Anyone from SS interested in putting their hat in the ring ??

    - Qualifications : PhD in "not understanding basic economics"

    - Personal Attributes : Lying, thievery and other general sociopathic traits

    - Please send your application to "Her Maj", explaining how you intend keeping "the Company" profitable, as well as keeping those pesky plebs in their place.

    My only possible qualification for this job was once being able to quickly fill up the punch bowl at uni with cheap plonk. Unfortunately, the punch bowl now requires expensive cocktails under the current economic / monetary climate, so I will probably be overlooked in the final interviews due to inexperience in "high octane punch bowl filling".

    Third that.

    I'd also second Yippe (who seems to be have been away for the past week). His spelling's only a bit better than spanner's so we may have to help write his application but he'd do a much better job than the monkey the UK will probably end up with.

    ... great idea !!

    In fact we can do everyone a favour, and give the BOE a special fractional deal (i.e. 1 for 10) at 0% interest ... let us also include the rest of the "dream team" ... gillard, shorten, conroy, hockey, abbott, joyce, etc.

    That way the BOE will have a full compliment of hawks, doves and cuckoos for their monetary setting committee.

    ^ pretty funny comments :)

    Unless you were a power hungry sociopath, who would really want this job?

    Not Mervin I bet. No one wants to go down in history as 'the worst ever'.

    Put that goldman o'neill guy in there, so he can be with his mates.
