In The News

By Mark on Tuesday 9 September 2008 at 13:00

According to various puzzled-sounding news reports, some estate agents are currently only selling one house a week. I'm having trouble figuring out why anyone is surprised at this, let alone our country's 'financial experts'.

Now obviously I'm not qualified in this field, but I think I have come up with a formula to model the trend:

House Prices Astronomically Expensive
+ Everyone Totally Skint
= No-One Buying Houses

Maybe I should become an economist.

House Prices Astronomically Expensive + Everyone Totally Skint = No-one buying houses = reduction in interest rates = Inflation = Everyone who are not on housing ladder even more skint = pressure on economy = increased unemployment = increase in wealth gap = class war = revolution.

Alternatively...

House Prices Astronomically Expensive + the wrong women = me living with fackin' northern monkey.

Shit, you're much better at this than me - you've used way more equals signs. I've sent your resume on to the Today Programme.

The Today programme also airs on a Saturday morning....might have to pre-record that one.

“So, Minishter - in your opinion, would this be the right time to 'accelerate the drinking'?”

“What do you mean, 'no'?”

“Oh, just choose a fucking tune you massive c**t.”

Seriously: Most. Listeners. Ever.

It's good to see that Connected Life hasn't degenerated into the normal mindless slaging match that seems to affect most blogs these days!

Ahem. Sorry.

I basically gave up assuming people would comment on the actual topic a long time ago. These days I just cling to the vain hope that one day the number of comments posted by real people will overtake the number apparently posted by fictional/dead characters.
