  1. 'Grexit' is a fucking horrible portmanteau you callous financial savages. The corridors of power need a cleansing fire, that's for sure.
  2. @girlymousey if IBEC want it, it's because business wants it. They all seek a return to the ruthless shangri-la of the Victorian age.
  3. (Growth will save us)
  4. Charmingly naiive stuff on the #euref from IBEC's Danny McCoy in the Times today. What a colossus of reason and insight.
  5. @chris__baldwin I know, right? (I was too scared to correct him.)
  6. RT @chris__baldwin: @Alotron What an idiot! It's not a calculator, it's an abacus. Feh!
  7. When I say 'me' I mean everyone within twenty feet
  8. A homeless dude on the quays tried to tell me today that Stonehenge is a giant calculator
  9. Re: #facebook, I should add that I've already hidden the worst offenders. *Everyone's* going nuts. It has a wild fin-de-Siecle feel to it
  10. As someone said, there's a big difference between picking up 3 points here and there, and being expected to do it every week. #LFC
  11. Roberto Martinez is biting off more than he can chew, I think.. Brendan Rodgers had the right idea. #Liverpool #lfc
  12. @Pen_Bird I DON'T KNOW :(
  13. @truthdogg It feels new... It sorta made sense for a while, but now I just can't figure any of it out. It feels a bit *crazy* in there...
  14. My facebook timeline is now just a bewildering stream of pop-culture half-references and dubious self-aggrandizing status updates. Scared.
  15. RT @Dustpiggies: Read my stupid comic? Please RT dustpiggies.com
  16. Agreed is good
  17. Executive, summery
  18. I'd like to go outside for a lunchtime walk but that huge ball fire in the sky scares the shit outta me.
  19. Double Rambo
  20. Somewhere over the Rambo
