Tellytubbies yes - Night Garden thing - would have to be on acid I think for it to make sense.

Yes, but the soothing tones of Derek Jacobi announcing "here comes the Ninky Nonk" reassure us that all is fine.

This isn't doom. Nothing like it.

The real doom will start when Mother Nature gets hacked off with mankind for breeding like rabbits and generally screweing up the planet, and does something about it - probably through the medium of a rather nasty and virulent virus.

Then you can start complaining about doom.

Yes SARS was a bit scary a few years ago.

Yep. Bank may start printing money to reverse 'deep' downturn

Hopefully if it gets any worse old Merv will introduce negative interest rates so I'll finally get something back.

Saw a story today - 15 year old chav and 17 year old chav partner, expecting triplets, on benefits.

Pah! Molly-coddled people have no comprehension of what proper doom is. Just wait until doomy things start happening to them.
