The Royal Bank of Scotland has reported its fourth year of losses since the bank's bailout in 2008.

The bank posted an attributable loss of £2bn in 2011, up from a loss of £1.1bn in 2010.

In reaction to the annual results, Chancellor George Osborne said RBS is "cleaning up the mess after the biggest bank bailout in history".

Last month chief executive Stephen Hester turned down his bonus of nearly £1m following political pressure.

On a pre-tax basis, last year's loss was £766m compared with £399m in 2010.

Last year, the company's share price fell 48% and now stands at under 30 pence. Shares gained 4.8% on Thursday.

Despite that performance, the bank paid out £785m in bonuses to staff in total last year.

It's Fox news, what do you expect?

So many things wrong with the newsreader, and then the three other guys were basically parodies.

Nope.

Cycling is dangerous - These are all videos that have appeared from people on my YouTube sub list during the past 3 weeks. Ouch!

sheridanm962 · #**860** 02-24-2012, 03:30 PM

That's why I ride my bike on the footpath, fuck what anyone else says.

MA · #**861** 02-25-2012, 05:04 AM

you subbed people that upload cyclist videos? really? fuck me.

DarkHoodness · #**862** 02-25-2012, 05:23 AM

I like being alive.

Unfortunately I don't have a car, public transport sucks and is too far away from where I live to be of use to me for short distances, and so I have to cycle if I want to get anywhere fast. There is no decent cycling infrastructure, so I have to ride on the roads and dodge the cars. I resent doing that because people around here can't drive (It's Essex, people are very fucking stupid here) and I have had countless near-misses - So I learn about what to avoid while out on the roads from where I can. And I've learned a lot from these people on YouTube.

It's serious business, yo! (But I think I talked enough about this already, earlier)

They've finally put wings in the plastic kit.

That is all.

Don't suppose you've heard of the Replygirls on YouTube.
The Yogscast have made a message about it.

Wings of Fire · #**865** 02-25-2012, 06:30 AM

The moral of that story, as far as I can tell, is that being naked is just better.

Or maybe it's allegory for unprotected sex, who knows.

A retarded kid who thinks he is now super sayain.

I liked one of those comments: "His virginity level is OVER 9000!!!"
