    Keep calm and carry on

    WTF is all this about? I know it was first used in WWII but why now?

    I first spotted it on poster at client site, then a bus shelter, now I've seen it on a British Gas advert and the Stereophonics album cover.

    Are we being subliminally prepared for something very bad? I mean even worse than the now.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Err, becuase the UK is but a few months from a debt downgrade, quickly followed by a boycott of gilts, followed by default and bankruptcy.

            But, don't worry, keep calm and carry on (voting Labour).
