right..i cant personally vouch for this one but, it has rung a bell with me from the floor many moons ago...

langans brasserie opposite the ritz, christopher reeve was dining there as were a few city boys being a bit loud but not offensive nor intruding into reeeves' nite out to dinner.

anyway, post dinner, christopher reeve is relaxing in his chair over his brandy when he looks out the window to see the three city boys carrying their mate above their head in superman pose...................

a tad off topic as it's a bank floor story rather than a futures floor one, but the guy who was my chief dealer a couple of years ago related to me the story of how, as a trainee years ago somewhere (think may have been citi but not 100% sure), he saw another trainee being asked by his then boss to go out and get him his lunch. Guy hands the kid a fifty and yells "f@*k off now and get me some lunch. Oh, and get something for yourself while you're at it!"

.....

.....

wait for it.....

Kid comes back with a tuna sarnie and a leather jacket!

Boom Boom

i remember a young french chap coming to work on the floor as a runner towards the end....(must have been due to an eu directive or something)

he was quite a dapper young man and obviously had a bigger interest in fashion and his hair-do than the floor. gelled hair, bleached & spiky, luminous shirts etc - very david beckham.

he was so quiffed that i think some traders mistook him for a chick - or a sheer nonce. you decide.

his employment record at liffe went like this.....

day 1:
arrived to work with hair done to the max, best clobber etc. a bit over friendly trying to make new buddies in his new career. looking quite feminine, he attracted the attention of some traders who started to blow kisses, and get his attention with various 'yooo-hooo's ' etc.

he was a little embarrassed, but hey, hes so sharp looking, they are obviously admiring his sense of fashion in that ironic british way right?

day 2:
arrived back at work. a little more dressed down today, but still very 'cute'.
the kisses and attention continued. he manages to attract even more attention and now the surrounding pits are starting to notice of the nkotb. boy o boy! more kisses and other signs of affection.

he started to get a bit frustrated. whats wrong? dont these brits understand fashion?


day 3:
still it continues. he is now visibly upset.

by early afternoon he snaps. he starts to cry!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! proof he is a big girl after all.

day 4:
there was no day 4. he never came back.






lol - hes probably reading this!!! hahahaha YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE PUFFTER BOY!!
