    I can't believe we'll be out of this anytime soon. We seem to be trapped in with the euro mess and nobody really seems to want to resolve this one way or the other... (ie it's dead, lets move on!)

    Been a bad day for you and your chums, and I understand that.

    Don't be like that Graham. I had to pull you up for putting words in my mouth earlier and Renoman's just had to do the same thing.

    You've been caught red handed playing forumonics - take the shame and move on.

    Do you agree with the ITEM club then? Or would even you need a higher strentgh prescription for your tintacles?

    Just say "I agree with the ITEM club even after todays figures". If you don't, then what is your problem?

    All I have said is "oh well, onwards and upwards", in that it's extremely unlikely this will happen. Do you disagree? if not, what do you have a problem with?

    He's still at it with the whole 'do you agree with the ITEM club then' nonsense. Building arguments from thin air. He just can't stop himself.

    So you don't agree, and won't stand behind their prediction?

    I really fail to see your problem in what I said in that case. I won't be giving you the attention you so crave from hereonin on this thread :)

    Forumonics dear Graham. You were so delighted at today's GDP figures that you couldn't wait to have a dig at Hamish - that's all there is to it. Whether I agree with the item club or not doesn't change the transparent game you were playing.

    As per my other posts on this thread I don't think a GDP forecast of 0% for 2012 or 1.6% for 2013 is the most outlandish thing I've heard. It'll be there or thereabouts.

    So presumably Graham is 100% confident that the forecast in the OP is wrong? Why else would you make all this song and dance 6 months before the event?

    (Unless you misread the OP and didn't want to look like a simpleton)

    Well the ITEM club are now expecting the UK economy to grow a full 1% for the last 6 months of 2012.

    Can you honestly see that happening?

    Have they released something else today then? That doesn't sound likely but I wouldn't make a fool of myself by declaring it couldn't possibly happen.
