Will this day be known as HairyArsed Thursday?

The Thursday before Whit Monday?

It's going into my diary as an annual reminder as we speak. I mean as I speak. Type.

Curious how the IMF commented favourably the other day about the UK. I wonder what strings the Government had to pull for that. Or maybe the IMF are just trying to talk up the economy so they don't have to fork out so much when the time comes to rescue it.

Don't believe the spin the BBC gives on the report. It was not very good.

Edit: IMF Report
