Valentines was a bit of a let down as usual really. It's a bit like "singles awareness day" and "put-your-arguments-aside-for-a-painfully-forced-dinner day" depending on your marital status. And you always regret whichever status happens to be yours because it either highlights the fact you seem to have been devoid of the oppositen sex for years (January does rather drag on) or your bank balance receives a coronary. So maybe the latter explains Lloyds latest action.....
Following Bank leaders saying "sorry" (wahey, we all appreciate that, makes the fact I'm jobless soooo much better etc) Lord Myners who is apparently important when it comes to all things banking has said that offering 100% mortgages was........"foolish". Wow, revelation much? Because the ever increasing number of reposessions wouldn't suggest that now would it. 'Deeds not words' is quite frankly a dead principle it seems. So, I have an idea! It's crazy right? I'm gonna make a lil list of all the good things that have happened lately when it comes to the apocalypse/recession.
1) US inflation has picked up of late! Go yanks!
2) The recession is hitting the rich. Lols at 9021-0uch.
3) Commentators are finally making useful predictions and it's not all negative.
4) You can always lol at the melodrama
Migrating away from the end-of-the-world cos really that's no fun. The US have this unique thing where each president and their team has their own speacial sort of Lingo. Special Relationship, as you know, was my most hated from the Bush regime, but the latest Obama/Biden/Clinton offering is giving some serious competition. The word in question? Dialogue. It seems the U.S. wishes to form a 'dialogue' with every freaking country they've ever had a disagreement with. Why can't they just use relationship/discussion/debate or whatever else has been used regularly and by every other country in the last century?! I think, though, that the influence of my days as a Drama student may be coming through, however dead and gone they are, as I know that a dialogue is any form of conversational technique and so this just seems a bit general a little bit "peace for everyone" and all that. Just saying.
On a final note: I like this find-a-billionaire shiz!
