SKA news?

Is that the one with Kay Burley? Every time I go onto that channel she's just sat there diddling herself, with a news ticker across the bottom of the screen saying "SKA news imminent".


[Before I get accused of being rude, "diddling" is a term often used by women when they twiddle their thumbs. Honest. Just ask any woman if she diddles herself when she's bored. More than you think will admit it in a number of ways. Usually by blushing.]

And his stella comment was amusing as well.

This debt "payoff" is probably due to repos. I think if we look at credit cards stats will be different - people are probably shifting to higher interest debt.

AtW is spot on.

Oooooh cheerful times!!!

Merry Xmas to all!!



Can you lot not talk about anything remotely upbeat?!

This is upbeat. Relentlessly borrowing money you can't afford to buy stuff you don't need was mindless. The end of that is good news.

Surely this is good news in the long term; people are paying off their debts. At this rate, Britain could pay off it's debt mountain within the next 200 years!

the net result is bad for the pound and the economy

Maybe we should just have this conclusion stamped on the end of every single news item that's published till around April 2013 or so. It's bound to apply to most of them I expect.

I think it'll be a triple (or more) whammy: retailers go bust, shop staff no longer have money to spend, then the triple: the companies that rent the shops out no longer able to maintain their mortgage payments, and fold, next: the banks that lent the money to these companies also fold.

Oooooh cheerful times!!!

Merry Xmas to all!!

the effort of climbing from the hole created will be harder the bigger the hole the government gets us into.

...and being a Dalek you don't like climbing do you?
