I'm trying to find a good way to exploit Yahoo Chat. It seems to be full of Indians trying to scam westerners, which is fair enough, but I'm trying to find a good way to exploit them for my own gains.

Anyway, here is the transcript:

I've filed an abuse report with Yahoo, but am not sure what they'll do.

Moving onto other things, I just lost a $20+2 SNG at Pacific. Doh. I went all in with 2 pair (KQo) on a AKQ bord. What a muppet. My opponent had JTo.

The financial news over the past few days has been dominated by Northern Rock's fall from grace. I'm not sure what to think about all the old pensioners queing up outside the banks.

Part of me thinks that they're being a bit stupid; following the crowd and fueling the hysteria. Their money is probably safe, and I believe that the government will bail them out if the shit hits the fan, as if the public loses faith in cash deposits with major banks, then the country's economy would fall apart.

However, another part of me understands why they may be doing it. If they have a sizeable amount of cash at NR, whether or not they're fueling the hysteria, they'd want to look after number one and get their cash out quick. Why would an individual choose to risk their assets, when the only beneficiary is a bank that's probably bummed them with excessive fees over the year?

I guess this is one of those game theory situations. It's better for the whole population if they don't panic. But it's better for an individual if they choose to panic.

Anyway, I have a bit of personal cash in a cash ISA at Northern Rock, but am not too fussed. I was thinking of withdrawing the cash a couple of weeks ago, in order to clear my mortgage, but then noticed that I need to wait until November if I want my interest payment. How annoying.

Another annoying thing in the news was Menzies Campbell's attack on higher earners. Apparently they've had too good a time under Labour, and he wants to target them with higher taxes. I'm obviously against this, as I aim to become a higher earner, and dislike the implication that high earners are undeserving people who've just got lucky. Also, the guys who really scam the tax system, such as IT contractors, are always going to have tax scams going. So it's the PAYE muppets like my badself - who already taxes - who'll get done over by this. In the next election, I therefore cannot vote Labour or Lib Dems, and my choices are narrowing. Maybe I'll just pop another lung and stay in hospital for a few days.
