#2009faillist A List Of This Year's Worst Mistakes and Failures

[AB Editor]

Dear All,

I think we know how these games go now! I wish to hear our entries for the #2009faillist

This could range from the obvious to the absurd. Who or what, in your eyes, has failed in 2009?

Politicians are of course up for a vote in this one, as are musicians, artists, objects or trends.

For example:

#2009faillist

RBS
MP's pretending to have already been "told off,"
My efforts to win the lottery

Offering reasons why might add a little bit of debate to the proceedings!

Fire away with your #2009faillist

All the best,

Spare Ed

I would say the banks have failed us most in 2009.

They give the impressions of being these huge, powerful, rich, well run organizations, paying out millions to some of their staff in bonuses.

But then as soon as there is a financial wobble they run to the goverments of the world asking for massive financial support, and know they are so important they will get it.

And within months of getting bailed out they are again paying millions in bonuses to some of their staff.

Parasites.

Certain individuals on this site have failed to stifle my views, or in some cases to get me banned from this site.

But now may I take this opportunity and be the first to wish each and everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. :-)

But at least you've been educated into responding occasionally to the answers to the questions you ask, AOG - so that's some small measure of success.

If you're still there Old Git, I'm interested in knowing why people have tried to ban you? I quite agreed with your view on the Lad killed by dog thread.

Hear hear.

[AB Editor]

This has turned quite festive.

Merry Christmas All!

Obama's plans for peace in the Middle East seem to have vanished without trace.
Israel continues to build hundreds of houses on Arab land and nobody but the Palestinians seems to care.

[Seadragon]

Likewise with the Christmas and New Year Greetings to you Old Git, Ed and all others. Had a quick read of your above posts Old Git if you are still there - I can't see what's wrong with your views, you make some good and interesting points in respect of your topics above. However it's Friday, got to go.

Katie Price aka Jordan, her marriage failed and she also failed to win back the public affection on her stint on I'm a Celeb. Westlife for failing to sing an original song again after being away for a year. Every mp who failed to get his/her expenses right.

Well thank you so much for your greetings and sentiments.

No I do understand why some get very upset over my posts, I say it how it is with little regard for PC etc.providing it is legal that is all that matters.

But obviously I tread on some toes, which they don't like too much, plus the fact that I dare to read the Daily Mail.

[Quinlad]

Personally, I love your posts. I mean that.
