Fuck me
this QoTW is hardly a barrel of laughs.

I appreciate that b3ta can't do smut, filth or poo topics every week, but I come to this site for a ***break*** from the cruel outside world.

Getting back on topic though - you might think now, all you smug so-and-sos, that "it's not affecting me at the moment, in fact my mortgage has gone down and all is good" as if in some way this means that you will be immune to the effects of the world crisis.

In actual fact, the crisis hasn't even begun.

I'd advise you to enjoy these moments of financial complacency, because the debt situation we are all in - i.e. the money that our governments owe - is unprecedented. This is not like previous recessions, trust me.

For one thing, the economies of the world are completely intertwined. This was not the case last time round. For another, all the "family silver" sold off to get us out of the last recession has gone now. So the only other option for us is to have a war, the bigger the better. Good news, eh ? Interest rates can't go down any more - banks can only be propped up so much. Nothing is working, and basically we're out of options.

If anyone listened to what the new Pres said this week, it was basically: we're fucked. Get used to it.

So, everyone, enjoy, but if you think that the crisis somehow won't affect you, and your final salary pension etc etc, dream on.

I hope to God I'm wrong; who knows, I could be, but these are times without precedent. I see us coming out of this by 2012 *at the earliest*.

So more sex, filth and stupidity tales please because God knows we're going to need to laugh...
