    Look, I'm not saying the article is wrong.

    Have you not yet understood that anything in the Gruaniad is pitched at people who are from an ethnic minority, multi-sexual, who have signed up to be a Monbiot AGW disciple?

    Lets all promote our green credentials and ensure we wipe our !!!!!! with this piffle.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    in your opinion was it obvious that it was going to happen right then and there that month? or that it was going to come some time soon?


    It was obvious to anyone, with half a brain.

    The US bubble had been unwinding since 2006 so it had been 'obvious' for some time but imo the trigger was Aug 2007 when it changed from being 'obviously coming soon' to 'hello its today!"

    Obvious is when you're approaching a the level crossing, the lights starts flashing, the barriers come down & you can see/hear it. Obvious is NOT when you have been smashed into several different pieces by the train.....
