another member says he thinks it costs around $8000 for the service and that Kuzi guy just says "you're in the ball park"

no no, it's MLIA. FML is for those moments where you find out the poster is actually the stock broker who profitted from the economic downturn and recession which you have lost money in.

Simply finding out someone is balling does not qualify as FML.

unit 08-20-2009 08:13 PM

^i profited from the recession :)

not quite. I wouldn't be surprised if the CGT didn't have a full power steering system. many cars on the market have "power-assisted" steering.
