That puts is as Codswallop vs Blinkered Partisan.

Didn't they get beat the other night in the Champions League?

WillBlack

Had to Google "Champions League". Something to do with the Union of European "Football" Associations, UEFA.

Do I get you right; Britain is in a record recession because it is a member of a soccer association?

iamthecreaturefromuranus

You have no idea what the Champions League is..
You have no idea how British humour works..
Yet you are an expert on the British economy of the 1980's to the present day...

How does that work then?

WillBlack

While you were downing dregs, foaming at the mouth and barracking for girlie soccer players, I remained sober, cool and detached. The British are funny, haha. Was not aware that it was neccessary to be an expert on the British economy to see and put into words the obvious.

Satisfactory?

iamthecreaturefromuranus

For sober, cool and detached... read boring, dull and alone.

Are you trying to claim the the British have no sense of humour???... I mean I'm humouring you at this very minute, so that's at least one example.

As for your ability to sum up decades of the economy of the UK in a single sentence... well I prostrate myself at the very altar of your economic brilliance. I assume you must be running The Fed, or at the very least The Babygro bank... or whatever its called.

WillBlack

Took you long enough.

Now, perhaps you might care to provide some light humourous entertainment by offering your explanation for high interest rates in the late 1980s and early 1990s?

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Nope, no matter how hard I think about it I can't come up with a light humourous way of explaining interest rates.... so you win.

Seriously though... why do you post here? What do you feel you have in common with the other posters?.

WillBlack

Some of my best laughs have been on the way home from the bank - so far.

If I felt I had too much in common with other posters, I would not post here - there would be no point.

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Fair enough I suppose... but stuff does seem to go sailing over your head at times due to that lack of common ground.

WillBlack

Soccer in particular and sport in general has never interested me and will not save Britain's bacon.

Britain has been the perpetrator and victim of monetary positive feedforward instability leading to increasing "oscillations" in volumes and velocity of money. This last one will not break the country but will harm it.

iamthecreaturefromuranus

You must be a bundle of laughs down the pub....

WillBlack

Only go for meals when on the road, never found the alchies witty enough to hold my attention.
