Re: Sunday after Christmas Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

Following your failure to spend money frivolously, if the British economy collapses followed by a downturn in the EU causing meltdown in the US rippling through and starting a global financial meltdown initiating regional resources wars escalating to nuclear bomb exchanges between Pakistan, India, and China ....

WE'LL KNOW WHO TO BLAME!

Probably better blame me then too. Ive been sat inside avoiding the shops too.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Fair enough.

When it comes time for the Lay the Blame Trials you can be a co-defendant with Sassafras.

I bought a tank full of petrol today. Does that count as a significant economic contribution, do you think?

One measly tank of ... petrol? (That's gas, right? :-)

Nope. Sorry. Doesn't hack it on the face of it.

Now if you're going to use that fuel to motor needlessly to the Outer Hebrides to grab a pack of cigarettes THAT would count!
