RPC, Sadly it's fine.

All, Apologies for the senseless post. I was trying to convey my frustration at the BBC2 medley of excellent television clips, which leads ones to be disappointed when one searches for the full versions on iPlayer and finds them unavailable. Yes, i was a few White Russians deep.

I watched this is BBC2. I could have been anywhere, but I was there for them. Four in a row. Tease, on iPlayer? ?? Not even once.

I once interrupted Cameron mid story to ask the group he was talking to for a light. Even though i am in fact taller than him the look i received made me feel materially shorter.

Ms B, They are on their bikes inside the station?

Jenny, You could have a search on UK Polling report which tracks all the polls. The Tory lead has recently expanded to the high end of the historical range. In terms of those specific points you are interested in there may have been a recent post addressing this.

James, Stopping by to thank you for all the efforts you put in.

5 guys coming to LL is the silver lining.

Curmudgeon, Have they at least turned the damm rack round to face the right way? Also, it sounds like they haven't added another rack? Which was sorely needed.

Y, Carbonara for dinner on the 6th then.

Interesting that they are refurbing the gym when the weights area had only just had work on it before the transfer of management. Although admittedly it was difficult to see what improvements had been made that time.

Jacks, Cash.

Remodel, Good job they gave us that fourth significant figure. Do you believe the BoE sets the price of gilts with their monthly rate decision?

Rendel, The daily politics has amongst the least clues on this matter of anyone who chooses to comment on it. This is the same organisation who for decades on a week-daily basis have slavishly quoted the index level of the FTSE and the change on the day in index points as though that were meaningful information. Imagine doing something utterly useless for decades and never questioning why you are doing it. I would not be informed by an organisation suffering from such an illness. rendelharris Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > There are some pretty good fixed rate deals for > the government available at the moment Henry: > according to The Daily Politics they can currently > borrow at 1.08% for ten years and at less than 2% > for thirty.

I would prefer to see them tackle the persistent loiterers who congregate in the area drinking high strength larger and seemingly only able to communicate in swear. Also one of the "shops" on the other side constantly noise pollutes, one can't even make out what the ludicrous sounding lyrics are, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were vulgar and similarly influencing any passing impressionable youngsters in an undesirable manner.

Rendel, Not that I think infrastructure investment at the moment is a poor idea, but it's specious of these economists you reference to point to current low rates in isolation and claim the debt funding will be low cost. The government doesn't get a fixed rate mortgage, rather it has to pay a yield on new issuance to rollover the current enourmous stock of debt. So the costs of long term debt will be passed on to future taxpayers when rates rise. Even the yield on debt traded in the secondary market (which doesn't directly impact the governments interest expense on the debt in question) gets charged to corporates including banks via their cost of capital. That means it also gets charged to you and I, and all else equal more debt means a higher cost of debt in terms of the both rate and obviously the bill. rendelharris Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > ????

Otta, Could be 3/10 or could be elite. Too early to conclude, we must await the next move.

Poor trolling, 3/10.

Pretty sure it's been on TV no?

Lordship, 1. Surprised at only 3% on feed, with the sterling weakness we've had doesn't that imply a decrease in underlying $ prices? 2. So c?100bn of spending is on non-food, this is booze and eating out? or what else? Surely this will be the first pool from which the ?14bn additional spending on food can be funded, implying the impact on other areas of retail sales may not be too severe... what was the '08 experience here? 3. With all this price inflation expected, we will surely we see the MPC to stick to the letter of their mandate and enter an aggressive hiking cycle?! 4. Most importantly, how much do you expect the price of a bacon sandwich to increase?

Alex, Instantly contact GBOR for longest example of saying computer says no. Shoe in.

AM, Evolution.

Rook, What has the capital account surplus / deficit been the past couple of years? In the discusion of risk areas you summarised did the FPC provide estimates as to what level of capital account flows they expected, or an estimate of what level would be required for a stable GBP? your view?

Rah, Do you believe that with respect to the current crop of Tory politicians (+ some number of their predecessor generations), archetypal conservative values, or both?

Yes, the melted cheese should be Brie.
