2008-03-14 07455, 2008
yllona
i'm thinking it's time for a custom fitted pair of ear-plugs
2008-03-14 07410, 2008

i don't think customs are worth it personally
2008-03-14 07410, 2008

is it a drug dealer who sells hard drugs?
2008-03-14 07421, 2008

that's my guess
2008-03-14 07431, 2008

I thought it was just someone who constantly gave out bad news xD

well, dealer in in scroobius pip and the streets terms is always a drug dealer.

"have you been there before? cause I swear you look familiar, I stand there scratching my head to make my thoughts clearer, and you look at me... like I'm a bad news dealer."

aCiD2: Tosca is one of the most famous operas ever written
2008-03-14 07413, 2008

Ah, maybe that explains why their other album is called "Opera"
ojnkpjg: thanks for pointing out the collision-prone freedb id issue. That must be why I'm getting multiple matches. I think I may be getting MB data (not freedb data) after all, but more than one MB release.

i believe that any bank taking deposits from the public in the US is FDIC insured by necessity
2008-03-14 07410, 2008
brick_ijigg
i.e. that's the reward for qualifying under the federal regulations of what makes a bank
2008-03-14 07412, 2008
ruaok
brick_ijigg: that was my thought too
2008-03-14 07434, 2008
brick_ijigg
i'm not sure if HSBC is in the business in this country though!
FDIC provides insurance on your savings, thus it *is* about the little guy.
2008-03-14 07430, 2008
ruaok
and I don't think that I would ever benefit from that.
2008-03-14 07405, 2008
yllona
that was the point of the S & L crisis in the late 80s. people put money in non-insured banks
2008-03-14 07459, 2008

I know, what its supposed to do.

yllona: HSBC is quite full service in the US - Buffalo is very much an HSBC city
2008-03-14 07420, 2008

thus I would never get help from the gubmint

ruaok: if you place money in an FDIC insured banks, and that bank fails the FDIC guarantees your savings. end of story. that's the primary purpose of the FDIC
2008-03-14 07441, 2008
ruaok
BrianFreud: they seem to be headquartered there (for the us)
2008-03-14 07449, 2008
BrianFreud
I think you're right
2008-03-14 07402, 2008

that presumes you trust the US gubmint to do its job.
2008-03-14 07408, 2008

which it clearly is NOT doing.
