Brace Yourself!

Andy Murray has continued a long tradition, maintained by footballers and tennis players, of almost but not quite almost winning something somewhere. In the true tradition of British sporting failures he almost but not quite managed to but some foreign guy at a sport that I take no interest in at all.
The next great advance will come when I can name the sport he has failed in, or tell him apart from any other lanky scotsman.

After IBM, Microsoft and Apple tried and failed to corner the market in everything electronic, now Google are having a go. Not only are they promoting email, operating systems and browsers, now they are tracking behaviour on the internewt to sauch an extent that after I recently searched for Garden Sheds, every second intenet ad I have been faced with has been a garden shed.
How long befor the police are using similar technology to analyse our behaviour and shadow our thoughts 1984 style?

I just registered as a a private limited company, and my whole life and associated excpenses is, in part at least, tax deductible.
I can’t help thinking that this is exactly the sort of accounting fiction that can change liabilities without any change in lives that has got us all in the trouble we are in.

One day maybe the whole human race will be tired of trying to drag the Earth along like a dead weight, trying to keep ourselves from killing everything with ignorance and greed. Will we say one day, it was a good life, and give up watching everything die while we have a last drink at sunset?

It is possible now that all the major British banks may be sued for trillions over the LIBOR scandal, pushing them all into bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will probably happen sooner than this however because people will start withdrawing money from banks as soon as panic sets in and people turn to peer to peer lending, now an unknown quantity, which the banks will have no defence against.
The US and UK banks are the safest western banks. If they are pushed overthere may be no way that the Eurozone can pull or be pulled out of the mess they have created.
Looks set to be bad times for the next ten or twenty years.

They have never worked. Might be how I tell em.
1. Don’t mess me around darlin. Just take off your clothes and give me your money.
2. Whem I orgasm darlin, parallel lines pulse and cross. How is it for you?
If they work for you buy m a beer.

I get spam messengers from spammers offering to get my money back from Narclays for the money the have cheated out of me over the LIBOR scandal?
Or this week, the misselling of loan and overdraft low interest rate swap deals?

I imagine that everyone is after Barclays now. Everyone with a mortgage or a loan has a case against them because they fixed the LIBOR rate. Must be several tens of millions of people, including me. They could be tied up in the courts for years, with customers closing accounts and fellow bankers putting them at the bottom of the list to do business with.
Whenever I ring their customer survices now I will give them some crap over this.

Right in time for the Olympics, a cable car has opened across the Thames.

I cant help thinking this is just so that city bankers have a scenic route to work – a publicly funded perk for the millionaire gamblers who have gambled and lost all our money in the ether.

The labour leader says foreigners are not equal British citizens and should take second place in the queue for jobs. He obviously ignores that he is the son of a refugee and now has one of the top jobs in the country. £50 to anyone who brings his balls on a plate. Special appeal to his wife.
