A moment

I sincerely hope this ongoing trend of jeans and khakis having slim tapered ankles soon comes to an end. There's nothing worse than having 18” calves atop sturdy foundation-like ankles, walking down the road looking like a whale in pantaloons.

Now, it's time to fulminate over russia, venuzula, ukraine, south africa, usa, canada, britain, france...

All-Shehebees!

"Yes, we strike another body blow to the nonsense parading itself as democracy and freedom. From here on in we, the All-she-he-bees, ban all of that mixed shaking and passing on of sweat or bodily dna, between everyone everywhere which is of a physical nature. Indeed this strike is to the foundations of individualism, dictating that all procreation be carried out by turkey basters and a no-nonsense test-tube.

Naturally some of us have to be exempt from such conscription’s, as that is the will of the host on high.

However in the meantime:

• No handshaking!
• No looking in the same direction of anyone else for the purposes of sex! 
• No eating in the same room! 
• Actually, no living in the same town as anyone else, for the purposes of anything!

This pronouncement is the will of the most high - as divined by our balmy teacher.”

Expert economist

Most economists never saw the 2007 crash and subsequent recession driving straight at them.

Most economists never saw uk unemployment reaching 7.1% by the start of 2014.

Indeed, when it comes to predictions economists track records are worse than attempting to win anything on a lottery.

In light of this please pick the activity you believe those using the label economists, are actually good for:

1. The position of court jester.
2. Filling hot air balloons.
3. Been used in boiler rooms during the depths of a severe winter, or
4. Chasing around the village square with very heavy sticks?

Happy New...

What? It can't be 2050 already - i'm still in semi-hibernation mode!
