I've admitted it before on here that my spelling can be a bit suspect as a result of being dyslexic, that's why I get my docs proof read, however it was Mailric touting for work as a BA using broken English.

And as a BA I have spent too much time correcting the PM's documentation.
This is a forum not a Functional Specification.
PS - I have not bothered to correct the grammer.

It's a matter of habit with the txtsp34king crowd and as a result I won't work with them especially a BA where language is totally critical.
I canned a BA from a project once because his docs were peppered with the errors, I don't have the time or money to waste as a PM dealing with inept and unprofessional Business Analysts.

I suppose that one of the advantages of being a nuclear power, is that when the loan sharks come round to figuratively break your legs for non-payment, you can blast them into radioactive atoms. So they don't have quite the leverage.

If our decendents pick up the bill that's ok, I never liked the little barstewards anyway, just as long as time travelling intergalactic aliens don't come round my door threatening to break my legs if I don't find my part of the readies by Saturday.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThe Govt borrows by issuing bonds which investors purchase, which is the latter "lending to the Government". But they buy these to be paid interest for X years where X can be one of several values depending on when the bonds "mature", at which point the bonds are repaid. The interest and this repayment is the "future generations groaning under debt" bit.
I think that's roughly right, although it may be that repayments are sufficient to cover the principal over the lifetime of the bond as well as the interest, analogous to a repayment mortgage rather than an interest-only mortgage.
As I'm always saying, and people are probably sick of hearing it by now, the silver-lining to increasing Government debt is that sooner or later it correspondingly narrows their scope for blowing money on non-essential and intrusive projects, because only so much tax can be levied without the economy imploding.
In fact it's staggering that most of these expensive projects, like the olympics, and ID cards, and National Health backbone, haven't been ruthlessly thrown overboard already.
