Cold Tea Again is four years old, no wonder it's cold

Four years ago today I started typing in some mid-life crisis event and decided to call it a blog. Jumping on blogger's free and easy platform I began this typing quest that has seen several incarnations, domains and names. They are all collected here now, thanks again to beta.blogger's features.

I may eventually get around to sorting out the sidebar and having a little play with the design, but not at the moment. Now is the time to finally sit down and have a nice warm cup of tea, before rolling into year five.

Bad debt rescue plan extended

After helping the rich executives out of their financial hole, rumour has it that the Bad Debt solution plan may be extended. In a move to keep the capitalist system running the US Treasury has been in discussion to find a solution.

This has already bolstered financial markets around the world, with stocks and shares recovering some of their recent loses. With this news that the financial institutions may get help with dealing with bad debt, effectively sweeping it under the carpet, it has been mooted that it may be extended.

Nations around the world that are crippled with bad debt in such a way that they are unable to feed their own people, are hoping for the extention to reach them. It could be though, that this help will never get that far, as shares in most developing countries don't rate too high in the major trading centres of the world.

How to make friday special with Jonny B

I've mentioned this blog a few times but there was a lovely turn of phrase in Jonny B's blog today. So wonderful that i thought I'd share it with you. I hope you all have a great weekend.

I retreat a couple of paces. It is very odd and unsettling seeing him with clothes pegs in his hand. It is like inadvertantly witnessing Brian Cant with a whore.
