Monday, 10 November 2008

I'm not happy today for three reasons. One, it's Monday and two, it's raining. As if they weren't reason enough, I find out this morning that those killjoys over at Whitehall want to ban happy hour. BAN happy hour? In a country this miserable?! Mr Brown, I kid you not, this is not t...

Thursday, 09 October 2008
Yesterday I felt like I spent time in two parallel universes. In the first one, I was in the office reading about the Bank of England's radical moves to try and halt the economy's slide into a total meltdown, whilst pondering (for about the millionth time) my own financial future.
