Well it wasn't me.
Well, if we're all going to quote Shaggy lyrics:
"Soft and coddle hug me up like a quit
I'm a lyrical lover no take me for no filth
With my sexual physique Jah know me well built
Oh me oh my well well can't you tell
I'm just like a turtle crawling out of my shell
Gal you captivate my body put me under a spell
With your cus cus perfume I love your sweet smell
You are the only young girl that can ring my bell
And I can take rejection so you tell me go to hell
I'm Mr. Boombastic say me fantastic touch me in my back she says I'm Mr
Ro...oooo...mantic"
I have a feeling this may not be the right area of lyrics for the typical doomer on here who will probably think Shaggy is the long-haired chap from Scooby Doo.0 -

Edit....I take that back I just remembered that in fact I Am to blame....those darn BTLs

I'm not to blame.
No debt. Been scared of debt for years in case one day I cannot repay it. Hated house price rises as no one could afford houses and I didn't care about my increases - I thought them ludicrous.
We also were allowed to borrow 90k (and that was on sensible multiples) when we bought here but made 75k our maximum and stuck to it.0 -

You are Gordon's worst nightmare!!
Go out and do us all a favour and drown yourself in debt! Think of your country!
Seems that the ones in power think the only way out of this is to drown us all in more debt.0 -

Like, with jobs on the brink, I could raise any if I wanted too!
Once the banks have resources I'll be out of a job or taxed into oblivion.0 -
I would guess the only people NOT to blame for this crisis are the worlds absolute poor and babies.0
