    Not in the market at the moment – it’s a bit silly out there so I’m taking the opportunity to concentrate on the next phase of my business development.

    Yeah, very glad I didn't bet on more doom as I suggested yesterday evening. Madness (and not the musical variety!).

    In fairness to Bush (my god, what am I saying? ), he did give the taxpayer a nice "bonus" to try and get the economy going. Anyone see Gordy with his hand in his pocket??

    No no, instead we get free nursery places for 2 year olds. Brilliant.

    It's ok, Gordon Brown is 'monitoring the situation very closely'.

    Still, I've seen worse.

    Bloomberg are saying that the amount wiped off shares was about 50% larger than the size of the bail-out package.
