1) Bank of Scotland is OWNED by Halifax Building society (ENGLISH OWNED)
2) what about you all STEALING and selling OUR North Sea oil & Gas and keeping 90% of the revenue in England. for that alone we gave you Blair, brown and Reid heheh seems fair dont ya think?

sorry to go off topic a little , but if there is one word I hate the english using it is the word 'Jock' , I suppose you go around calling Asian people 'pakis' ?? No ? then stop calling us Scots 'Jock' ! Just shows up your ignorance

Ever notice how the English have a derogatory term for all the other home countries

Scottish = Jock
Irish = Paddy/Mick
Welsh = Taff/Di

but don't have one for theirselves ........ may I suggest c***s !!

While we're on the subject I'm not very fond of being called a Yank either.

Actually, I never hear anyone call a Welsh person a taff or a di. The most common name I hear is (forgive me, please) sheep sh***er.

Techincally the Bank of Scotland merged with Halifax, thus creating HBOS. The Bank of Scotland is still very much Scottish, with the HBOS Group's headquarters still in Edinburgh.

That said I bank with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Nice! I personally refer to Scottish folk as Scots! Don't half get fed up of the hostility expressed by the Welsh and the Scots on some forums.. especially around football time! Do I need to remind you all of 1966?! (and that, by the way, was an intentional joke.. as I know that its continual references to that which make your blood boil.. that and a few other things to which i'm sympathetic)

So, Bliar, Reid and Brown all jocks basically have slit our wrists and nealry bled us dry, now their freakin bank is doing it.

Nothing to do with them being Scottish.. they're just labour scumbags, robbing from the hard working folks who actually get out of bed and go to work for a living, so that they can give it back to the dossers and doleites. Bring on a Conservative government I say!

It was a sarcastic comment Bobby.

Calling people Paki is quite interesting as it means 'cool' in urdu.

I doubt my great Indian grandmother would like me to call her a paki, as that would be insulting, dare I associate her with pakistanis.

Now get off your big bucked tooth high horse and drink your milk.

Calm down and quit your racism. You need to seriously sort yourself out as you are a disgrace to the human race.

Actually there is a deragatory term for the english.
We call them brits, or brittish

Quit being a Porridge Wog cragdoo. Every place in the world has slang for one another, and it's even more ignorant to catch strong feelings from mere words.

He wasn't being racist.

You really must've fallen from the barn and hit on the head hard as a little kid if you want that. Those bloody moneygrubbing Tory pigs will slit your wrists and bleed you dry even far worse - say hello to a 21% Vat (at least), among other things. They'll keep all the money to themselves, so important services like the Health Services will go down the drain.

Just look at Germany, where the Conservatives just increased the German Vat from 16% to 19%, the Health Services are reformed to death, and the education budget has been drastically cut so universities had to greatly increase the fees for the students, just to name the most critical points.

If you really want to flush the UK down the toilet, then a Tory government would be certainly the best way to do it.

Politics in the US follows along the same lines with the following being the ultimate truth:

Democrats = Tax and Spend financing. You might get something back from the government, but the extra taxation pretty much drains you dry. They believe up front in big government, and at least are not lying to you about it.

Republicans = Borrow and Spend financing. Claim to cut taxes and stand for smaller government, but borrow large amounts of money, sending the national debt into orbit so that future generations will be bled dry while you expand the government's size for your own pet projects. If you are in a porkbarrel project, the yellow stuff might trickle down and you might get something back from the government, however; if you're Halliburton, the gravy train just goes on forever.

Politicians and goverments exist to expand and consume all future available resources so that the present is stagnated into giving them as much power as they can extract.

chill out dude.

everyone knows the english are ponces. just look at what ireland did to them in the rugby today. totally smashed to pieces

shouldn't this be jokes and funny stuff?

muahahah nice.. :D

Steven Parker, it's LOANS, not LOAN'S. What you wrote denotes a possessive case, not plurality, which should have been the case.

Uh-oh.. who called the grammar police?

Nobody; it was the syntax and punctuation police on this one.

Oh, the irony!

Actually, it is a grammatical mistake :)

Also, Chicane-UK probably never went to school and therefore has issues with the authority, i.e. 'da gramma poleeece'. I will rest my case.

Very very nice.

rofl. Nice one.

It's probably got them more signups today...

For all canadians that know the commercial "Hands in my pocket hands in my pocket ......."

Reminds me of one of the Outrageous Lie of the Year awards from the Liar's Club:

It was so cold one winter that I actually saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets!!

Who would ever believe that one? :nuts:

I like the new Capital One commercials... "Ma'am, it looks like you have bankers."

Man, the first "Hands in my pocket" commercial had me LMAO each time I saw it. The others that followed got a bit old.

hahaha nice find!

LOL

Hahaa :nuts:

slow day for the news, eh?

nice. :P

SOLD.....where do I sign up.....:P

looks like someone made it up cos if u look carefully you can see distortions all around the image

Always have to be the one to denounce it eh?

They're called JPEG compression artifacts. It comes from taking a screenshot and saving it as a JPEG, some quality is lost.

The background is a solid colour, so if you wanted to, you could easily modify it without a trace.

Theres the car and down on the page you can find out about Bank of Scotlands loan, but its not the same text. :sleeping:

lol here at Cadillac we work with banks often and this is great

hack or ****ed off employee?

also i dont think this is near worthy of putting on Neowin's front page...

joke are jokes but its photoshopped or fixed ....

im mean HELLO!!!! MC FLY!!!!!

priceless! :P

Sounds just like the sort of thing that HBOS would do lol

How is this frontpage news?

Stuff like this belongs in the forums, not here.

Well, believe it or not, the staff do have a sense of humour tucked away :D

Personally, i find stuff like this funny, and i think it should be here - and in the end, its their front page, so they can put what they like on it

Sounds like a deal just for that "electric rake".

the Subaru P1 is a beautiful car
i own 3 of them

Not luckier than me, I own 3 porsches GT2...

Sounds just like Bank of America

This def does not belong on the front page, but major props for finding something funny.

At least they're honest about it

What the hell is this doing on the front page? A complete waste of time IMO.

I believe it's calles

A: Friday
B: humour

Well I wouldn't complain about the intrestrate, you should try paying of a loan in Iceland the intrestrate is about 7% and then you have to add the inflation rate 7% a year which adds to the capital of the loan so the rate is more than 14% per year. I would be happy to have a loan with 7% with out connection to inflation. Well that is the price you have to pay for living on a small island.

It must be a joke :P

and i always got told honesty is the best policy.......

Funny post that should be in the [jokes] section.

I like there new honest approach... I wonder how many people have signed up now ?

rofl

umm wtf does this have to do with technology???

hahahaha.. electric rake
