Like it. I'm going for 'bankers', 'bonuses' and 'tickle'.

Extra points for anyone who spots a tickle!

And the credit crunch will be portrayed as the problem rather than the cure that it is.


The boom was the problem, the bust is the solution.

Loving that soundbite, I feel a T Shirt print coming on.


Deff applies to moi. The boom was a right pain in the Butt for us and our business. This downturn is throwing up opportunity day by day at the moment.

Yes, 'the bust is the solution' to be printed across the bust, naturally.

Shall we have a cleaver style bingo card ?

I'll start with "credit crunch" and "downturn"

Tick them off as you watch.

Can I have points for them not mentioning 'Debt Junkie' and 'Gold'.

Debt Junkie is such a great adj but very non PC and not very viewer friendly...and BBC is trying so to be more viewer friendly due to licence fee issues.
The more it tries, the less likely it is to succeed.

I'm getting quite a reputation for soundbites


I might start copyrighting them.

Shhh CT.....Otherwise everyone is going to do it.

It's not that hard you see...it just sounds it...all this designing business.

Actually, the desiging bit is easy peasy...it's the execution that is the tricky bit....cos all the factories at home are gone.

Any arguments couched in common denominator dumbed down language so simple a goldfish could understand it.

And yet strangely, still not simple enough for Graham Devon........;)

I'm feeding people and can't watch it. sounds interesting though.

You should have given them what I just had.

Completely new trial of something ... some Rosemary bread, but I made it in the frying pan (hardly any oil, so not deep frying here, but using it like a griddle) ... BEST bread EVER! Really. Like OMG, it took me 10 minutes from start to finish to make ... and it was gorgeous.

1 cup of flour - I only had bread flour so used that
1¼ teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of sugar (I only had caster sugar so that went in)
¼ teaspoon of salt
Big splash of dried Rosemary

Just chucked that all in a bowl (no weighing out) added water cautiously and mixed it to a dough. Heated the pan up. Split it into 2 (could have easily split it into 4 individual ones) and patted it down to about the thickness of a fishcake... once pan was hot (NOT smoking, just hot), turned the pan down and chucked one in, jiggled it about until I was sure it wouldn't be sticking, then once it was brown on one side, I flipped it.

Ended up flipping it 4 times to get the colour I wanted, all on a medium heat.

Took 1st one out and wrapped it up, chucked 2nd one in...

Total of about 10 minutes from start to finish and I had two big Rosemary breads .... then I tasted them, to see ... O ... M .... G.

Definitely converted to pan breads.
