No time for pharmacies at the moment. Working on an industrial estate, only half an hour for lunch, places are closed on the way to/from work and I am working towards my MoT (Mon) and checking insurance/getting a tax disc, so that'll take up Saturday morning.0 -
Um, which tonic are you talking about?“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Didn't watch it. Am bored with badly presented, poorly researched economic programs on TV. Am betting it did the entire "CDO is spawn of satan" "Greedy bankers wrecked the economy" blather.
Personally I think there should be more s e x and violence on TV, these sensible programs just get on my wick.
Indeed, although rather than sex and violence I'm watching David Starkey with a glass of wine and some chocolate. Good times.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
You are a f@cking moron. My post above was tongue in cheek.
Tw@.
Wookie - you have more buttons than my laptop.

I thought you'd have had enough of sex and violence reading these forums?

One can never have enough sex and violence, bluey, whereas one can have enough crash pr0n TV.
Frankly, I think the presence of all this crash pr0n TV is a very obvious contrarian indicator, suggesting the recession is going to end sooner than you'd think... I suspect that, and the fact that the IMF and co have priced in financial armegeddon means the recovery could begin next quarter.
It's like those prictures of share prices going towards the sky before a market crash: fate dictates when the media agrees on something, the trend is at an end.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

One day we'll look back on all this and laugh... one day this will all be a documentary, with full details exposed... 10-20 years' time probably. That'll be interesting to watch.0

I watched. But I can't believe buy-to-let never got a mention , a truly shocking oversight

Yeah I can't wait till I'm an old man boring my grandchildren:

While GDP is valued in pounds (?). An official recession can end quite quickly, so long as sterling doesn't recover.
I agree, I think much of the bad news is priced into shares.
Oh and on the sex and violence too - i love the BBCs natural world programmes.Favourite hobbies: Watersports. Relaxing in Coffee Shop. Investing in stocks.
