Most societies are said to be three meals away from anarchy.

They should get over to the OS board and find out how to turn those potato peelings into a tasty and nutritional meal for a family of 4.

Don't take SN too seriously.

He has been predicting Armageddon for sometime now. I recall Dithering Dad posting that if you listened to SN, you would end up living in your cellar waiting for the zombie debt collectors, and eating rats and dog-meat!

On a serious note, the Torygraph has an intersting article on the economic woes to come.

The situation as I anticipate it:
1. Recession seems inevitable.
2. Inflation running at 4%+ for many years to come.
3. As a result of 2. interest rates will have to rise longer term.
4. As a result of 3, property maket will fall further and longer than originally expected. Future rises, if any, are likely not to be significantly above inflation.

However, according to your own signature, the Second Law of Economics states you are likely to be wrong..... :rotfl:

mh, if people keep posting on how they bought 1245 flats off-plan but "of course" they can't get the £135,250,955.52 now these are completed because they didn't sell as someone promised - oh and all that with contracts in a language you don't know :mad:

well this board will soon makes me want to shout as much as the DFW ....


Eekk just remembered my google horoscope:

Yet your brain could move so fast that you blurt out something controversial before you even get a chance to edit your reaction. Reprisal may be swift as someone makes you feel uncomfortable for overstepping your place. Don't try to rationalize your actions. Just apologize for any social faux pas and move on.

so, sorry, and I move on

And things are moving along as expected. We've had the first of the rolling blackout. Weve now got detention witout trial. Petrol shortages. Food Rationing. increasing Unemployment. Increasing reposessions. The governor of the BoE saying that the"standard of living is going to drop significantly".

What? Do you need a slide rule to work it out?

DD,

I guess you will be resorting to rats, once you have eaten your family?;););) (just kidding if anyone is in doubt!)

Phew, good job you put the disclaimer in. Though many of the "Offended of MSE land" types will have missed it in their rush to pen a missive to their MP's. They tend only to read the bits that are most likely to offend them.

Somebody wants to turn Jamie Oliver's tongue into a nutritional meal for the whole family - he is giving me the right hump with all his "tweekle" lispings (wait for the disgruntled lisper to complain)

Why should I have to feed the family for a fiver? It's very clever marketing on Sainsburys' part to condition you to buy the old cr4p that they normally can't give away, and to also condition you that a fiver is reasonable for a plate of what looks like school dinner plate scrapings.

I try to avoid the DFW board as much as possible, although when I do go on there I do try to be a bit more fluffy, as people posting there are generally in a vulnerable state.
However, it does really get my blood boiling when I read for the zillionth time "oh, but I can't cancel my top-level Sky package, I don't work and its my only entertainment." Grrr..
