    Morning Milan!

    I'm contemplating travelling round Europe in the Range Rover for a few months while all this tulip settles down.

    How are you?

      What happened to house prices in 1929? The nation demands to know...

        Winston,

        all fine thanks, Benes invoicing and fiance became Mr and Mrs Benes invoicing two weeks ago :-)

        I hope one day, I am in a sufficient financial position to have the kind of worries you have...

          If Milan spent 7 quid on something, it must mean that it is incredibly good.

          Obviously he won't share his knowledge here unless you give him a refund of his costs.
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            Milan,

            Your first statement precludes the second from ever happening!

              Don't worry Milan - the demand for potatoes is forecast to rise. Just make sure you keep your Passat to move them around Europe.
              Hard Brexit now!

                I would forget about 1929.

                As Greenspan said 'We are entering a new disturbing economic reality.'

                You ain't seen nothing yet.

                    Hows about this one then pop-pickers ?

                    The lights went out
                    (the last fuse blew)

                    The clocks all stopped
                    (it can't be true)

                    The program's wrong
                    (what can we do?)

                    The printout's blocked
                    (it relied on you)

                    The turbine cracked up
                    The buildings froze up
                    The system choked up
                    What can we do?

                    Please remember to mention me
                    In tapes you leave behind

                    We stood still
                    We all stood still
                    Still stood still
                    We're standing still

                    The screen shut down
                    (there's no reply)
                    The lifts all fall
                    (a siren cries)
                    And the radar fades
                    (a pilot sighs)
                    As the countdowns stall
                    (the readout lies)

                    The turbines cracked up
                    The buildings froze up
                    The system choked up
                    What can we do?

                    Please remember to mention me
                    In tapes you leave behind

                    We stood still
                    We all stood still
                    Still stood still
                    We're standing still

                    The black box failed
                    (the codes got crossed)
                    And the jails decayed
                    (the keys got lost)
                    Everyone kissed
                    (we breathe exhaust)
                    In the new arcade
                    (of the holocaust)

                    The turbine cracked up
                    The buildings froze up
                    The system choked up
                    What can we do?

                    Plese remember to mention me
                    In tapes you might leave behind

                    We stood still
                    We all stood still
                    Still stood still
                    We're standing still

                      and another one!



                      I’ve been looking for a way out
                      Of this crazy situation now--
                      The world in crisis; seems like paradise
                      Was lost and won’t be found
                      And all of life is endangered
                      And on the verge of breaking down.

                      I wake up all fear and dread-locked
                      By all the things I cannot talk about.
                      We built our house of cards on ignorance,
                      A landfill of deceit. The walls are hollow
                      And we listen, worry what they will secrete.

                      Woe woe woe woe is we.

                      We all know they’ve got it fixed
                      In politico-economics.
                      We’re junking bonds; we’re dropping
                      Bombs we’ve made by guzzling gasoline.
                      Public confidence is shaken
                      Like the apple from the tree.

                      Namu Amida Butsu, gomen.
                      Forgive me for my trespasses.
                      I do my best to exist east of Eden,
                      West of garbagetown, over-accumulated
                      Karma. Armageddon, full meltdown.

                      Woe woe woe woe is me.

                      I’ve been looking for a way out
                      Of this crazy situation now--
                      Our world in crisis; seems like paradise
                      Was lost and won’t be found
                      And both our lives are endangered
                      And on the verge of breaking down.

                      Woe woe woe woe is we.

                      Then the garden gates swing wide,
                      And we enter paradise.
                      We are angels; we are good.
                      We open our wings; we’ve understood
                      How time and change are fine,
                      They’re the way. They’re the way
                      Just call me Matron - Too many handbags
