OK, I admit I was wrong

julieq

After months of trying to put a brave face on the certain doom that is facing us, I have at last to admit defeat as the evidence of impending global collapse mounts. If only I had listened to those voices crying in the wilderness!

We are, indeed, all doomed. As if that unholy cocktail of hyperinflation, falling savings rates, global warming, swine flu, rampant deflation, rising mortgage rates, ARM option timebombs, international terrorism and unpasteurised cheese were not enough, I just read this

I don't think anyone needs me to explain what this means to the UK economy. Half the workforce will essentially be completely removed from productive work for months to come Waves of misguided optimism will predominate, only to be dashed by the INEVITABLE collapse

It is, in short, the worst news imaginable at this most difficult of times

The eternal optimist. One match and the Ashes is won.

Two years ago January. I was sitting in the SCG in Australia when they hit England for six in a 50 over game. Literally. Gilchrist hitting Anderson for 21 in one over, including 3 consecutive 6 sixes. The stick we took was awesome. Pieterson, Flintoff not in the same class as that Australian team.

Think we'll struggle if Flintoff is unfit or doesn't bowl as well.

You do take this very seriously, don't you Graham?

It's what we call in my parts HUMOUR. Yes, there's a satirical point in that there are implicit contradictions in a lot of the worst case scenarios that are trotted out regularly, and almost any news story is brought out to confirm how badly things are going, but essentially it was light relief.

And we need a bit of light relief, given the risks we run of dying imminently of worst cases.

I don't care if we win the Ashes or not, I just want to get some sense out of my OH during the next 3 months

My favourite so far has to be the 'We're going to end up like Zimbabwe/Argentina/Weimar Republic' rants when QE was announced.

The 70% drops in house prices look ever more unlikely as the months pass, too.

Keep at it Julie! Don't give up the sensible posts.
