Plus there's always the joy of StTottering Day which for many of us has become one the most important and enjoyable occasions of the modern football era, even overtaking Cup Final day in our affections.

That may be true John - but it has bugger all to do with any predictions by economist about the post-referendum economy! None said "There will be an economic boom followed by a crash". Personally I think their useless predictions have potentially fired an unsustainable boom (see increase in lending and falling Savings Ratio) as Carney cut interest rates and did more QE post referendum as things were going to fall of a cliff.....apparently. Not covered themselves in glory the dismal scientists.

So. This morning. Service Sector PMI smashes expectations and out performs all 16 economists polled by Reuters (any of our resident economist on that per chance?) - this joins Manufacturing & Construction Indexes published earlier this week. Guess what? Above forecasts. FTSE at highest levels ever this week. "Ah but inflation" i hear the sages call - currently 1.2% compared to Eurozone 1.1% - the reality is that rather than 'brexit' as the pessimists keep banging on about it's MAINLY the appreciation in the $ as a result of interest rates rises teir that has pushed the ? lower. The ? is on a parity of where it was vs the Euro in 2013. Even the Guardian published this morning an article on why has the economy performed above post-referendum (note: not Brexit) expectations - hint because most economist were (and are) subject to Cognitive Bias on this...

Tonight's game - I hope they both lose :)

Yup - perhaps the most significant reason behind Brexit is the failure of Cameron's pre-referendum negotiations with the EU led by? erm, let me think

Fuck me guys - it is self-idnulegeunt pseuds corner on here with you two. You really are confusing speaking an over complicated flowery academic language with knowledge and insight. Ironically there's a whole sociology on coded language (read it) .....a lot of hot air. You are both not suggesting much confidence in your ideas/hypothesis if you can't or are not willing to express them in a more accessible language - it's translatable but tedious as is. Have you no confidence in the merits of your arguments to express them clearly rather than in academic bullshit?

Happy Christmas......

You too Rah & everyone else

Fair enough Otta, you did

3rd quarter GDP (post referendum) upgraded to 0.6* *"BUT WE'VE NOT LEFT YET"

Smearing from lefties shocker...I was just pointing out it's not 'new' in response to Jenny, the left has been doing it for years. Leave out the apologist crap, it's (smearing) what so called liberals always revert to when the inconsistencies in their sanctimonious tone is pointed out. I'll reiterate, i think Farage is an nasty divisive idiot - i think the same thing of McDonnell despite his 'reinvention'. Give up with your righteousness please left wing people - it's not justified by the facts in most cases.

How about: "?[i would like to] go back to the 1980s and assassinate Thatcher." From the shadow Chancellor - a man who incidentally lionized and championed the IRA who nearly did assassinate her and her democratically elected cabinet - say...... ...and there's tons of similar, mainly from the sanctimonious, hypocritical left who are just as unpleasant in many cases - a continued dialogue of "Tory Scum" is part of this you know......

BFS is a shoe in I reckon!

Pardew gone!

..and Farage? surprise you? New? Just a bit of a disconnect in my view....

"Social Media" rah....throughout! Read slower :)

You haven't become desesntitised to Farage's comments yet? His home spun idiocy is pretty common. I have Deja Vu BTW Otta I'm sure I'm having this conversation on two places at once :) Did you take the same stance on say all the comments when Thatcher died out of interest? Much of left wing social media is a putrid place too

Odious he is - but his remarks seems to have caused more outrage in 'liberal' social media than 12 deaths at a Christmas market, which tells me something.....

If budget isn't an issue then on average Housing Stock is better & bigger in Herne Hill than East Dulwich - Brixton's a bit tourist trendy whereas Peckham's propa hipster innit
