    I heard Vince Cable on Radio 4 this morning who echoed the opinion that a good bit of trampolining, equestrian and modern pentathlon will sort out the complex global economic issues we're seeing at the moment.
    He's lost my vote and he was supposed to be some sort of economic gnu.

    Still sounds a better plan than making money up though, which seem's Labour's idea.

    BTW, I may start a campaign for all news agencies to be forced to rename 'quantitive easing' with the phrase 'making money up'. I think it would get more attention from the everyman on the street.

    Newsreader: "Gordon Brown was asked today about his plans to get us out of this economic mess. He replied that he is putting in a global stimulus plan with the main idea to just make up some money".

    Even little old me can understand that.
