It's been a while...
The buzz word sweeping around the UK since March last year has been "Credit Crunch",a phrase coined by the media to soften the blow to the Nation that we honestly are, in the shit. And now almost ten months later, the decision makers (if you will), have decide that now we are officially in a recession.
I think this was pretty obvious to those with active minds, or just simply in employment, that we've been in a recession long before it was announced, and hopefully prepared for it. I mean how long does it honestly take a group of government bankers, (replace the b with a w for hilarious result) who spend all day counting money, to come to the realisation that there isn't as much money as there was a while ago.
The widely accepted term for a recession is two quarters of negative growth, so that's what six months at the most, so why did it take the fat-cats an extra four months to decide this.

Bye, bye Bush...
As I was watching Obama's inauguration, I came to the realisation that there is one man who has provided America with so much hilarity, comfort and entertained so many American households for the last eight years.
The aformentioned man, who now resides in Texas, will be truly missed by Americans, and the rest of the world. The same man should seriously consider, in my opinion, a career in comedy writing, because his comedy is far greater that any other politition on the planet.
I am talking, of course, about former-president George W Bush Jnr.
You will be sorely missed.

Doom and more doom?
On my old blog, I posted a blog with my views on the economy and it seems I was right for once (gasps of shock!), and I was right again when I posted my blog heckling the licence fee.
Given the current economic down-turn, I do feel that far too much money is being wasted on such needless institutions such as the licence fee and the health and safety executives (I literally stopped breathing for a second there.) I think it's useless that the money we as tax payers, continuously give to the government, is then wasted on these pointless existences!
This is a very rare occasion but I am inclined to agree with Luke (http://anorganisedmess.blogspot.com/) with his very accurate foreshadowing of 2009, because unless the fat cats currently occupying Downing Street realise that they themselves have to sort this one out, then we are going to struggle to live this year.
Gone are the days when we went out and impulse bought a 55 inch, HD ready, Free view installed television with a built-in cinema system because it only cost £1,500. Now you see people impulse buying toasters for £2.50 because it was part of yet another closing down sale - truly showing how badly we as a nation are suffering.
It's time for a change!
Talking of change, a historic event is to take place later today with the inauguration of Barack Obama. He seems like a cool man and has an array of 'Celebrity' supporters so there is no real reason for him to go wrong. But then he does have the inherent disadvantage of being a Politician, and we all know how honest they are...
"Yes we Can!"
