Oh well, to take our minds off it... ISIHAC is on R7 at 19:30 tonight. I shall pour a glass of something alcoholic and chuckle.

I prefer twiddling the little twisty things myself these days but each to their own. ;D

But here's the thing: I've spent ten years saving for a deposit on a flat. Every year I've earned more than the year before. But every year the flat spun further out of my reach, as Labour presided over one of the most destructive asset bubbles in history. Being more prudent than it now transpires anyone in the Government has ever been, I didn't falsify my earnings to get a mortgage that I couldn't service on an overpriced, peanut-sized property I couldn't afford. I just kept paying the rent, hoping that the inevitable crash would hurry up.
