Companies going down….. and PARTY !!! PART 2
Yesterday I already did a post about managers from insurance company AIG who had a nice “conference” after the 85 billon bail out…… cost; 440.000 USD….
Well; as you all know – we in Europe…… are a bit better in organizing parties….
>from Telegraaf.nl & Telegraaf2
British government put billions of euros into the Barclay bank…… and the managers…… went to a big mansion in Italy….. reason; they needed a break….
Cost; 750.000 euro….. (but hey…. 300 people… ONLY…..2.500 euro per person…). And while doing “business in Paris” – they are booking rooms for 2.200 euro per night…..
Oooh and by the way; my insurance company (Fortis Insurances Belgium) is giving a nice party in Monaco tonight; invites only….. 50 people….. cost 150.000 euro…..
But hey…… we organized that party before we had the crisis…. DUH….
Wish I had such a crisis……..
They are dancing on a volcano…
More than 20 years ago a Dutch band called “De Dijk” had a nice song about it, for the Dutch readers (my apologies to non-Dutch readers!) here the lyrics. Lyrics that really apply to these times:
‘je moet je het schompes werken
en je doet het maar waarvoor?
het kan elk moment gebeurd zijn
maar ze gaan nog even door
nog dichter bij de afgrond
nog dichter op het vuur
en het wordt alleen maar
erger met het uur
bommen voor de vrede
leugens om het geld
en wij moeten betalen
ook al had je niks besteld
waar halen ze de lef
en de gore moed vandaan
lief, trek iets moois aan
want we gaan
dansen dansen dansen
dansen
op de vulkaan’
…I am invited….see yah
