    I vote 2010. This will be a severe recession but not a depression.

      Get a shotgun licence. Learn to shoot.

      Get a boat, learn to sail. Provision your boat for 5+ years. Find an island in the middle of nowhere - somewhere in the Falklands would be good - and stay there until you've created your own little society.

      If the world goes to tulip, a lot of people are going to die.

        Juxtapose these apocolypse scenarios with the tales of limitless wealth from BTL et al being posted just a few years ago.

        There is something about human psyche that can't deal with steady, it has to be one extreem or the other. Fear/Greed, Panic/Ephoria, I wonder why this is?
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          You mean BTL heroes like Judith and Fergus?

          Oh Dear ™

          Fergus Wilson predicts that prices will double every seven years and says the typical property he owns - a £200,000 two- to three-bed starter home - will cost £400,000 by 2013, £800,000 by 2020 and £1.6m by 2027.
