LOL.

I laughed early yesterday morning when the "expert" financial pundits said, "Oh no, the Fed won't bring in rate cuts early. That would signal a panic."


Isn't it also amusing how the so called highly paid, hugely bonused, financial experts in the worlds big banks have all screwed up big time to the tune of billions being written of as bad debt and billions being wiped of the stock markets. I reckon the average housewife would do a better job.

I read a story in one of the freebies given out at the train station this morning regarding the young woman murdered in Croydon and the trial of her alleged killer. He is claiming that he had sex with her dead body but didn't kill her. I don't know which is the more heinous crime, and why he would think that one is less despicable than the other. It makes your skin crawl.

With so much 'informed' opinion in the press coming from briefings in hotels or armchair pundits *ahem, wouldn't know about that* it's good to see good journalism can still get into the mainstream.


It's long at 11 pages but worth the effort

    • How many Premier League football stadiums are there in London?  40,000 people plus coming into residential areas every week. 
    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel.  This forum is anything but positive.  I was being a little mischievous.  Yes loud DIY projects and builders working out of hours does get my goat.  But not enough to start a thread of proper rant.
    • Why aren't the barricades and stages coming down?
    • Can people try and be positive, it's a City, you're always bound to get noise. Try talking and getting on with neighbours, it makes life so much easier helping each other out, chatting, talking, laughing, crying and having fun together.
