    As the joke goes - There are 2 types of economists. Those that can’t predict global economic trends and those that don’t know they can’t predict global economic trends.

    Saw a bloke from Deloitte being interviewed on SKY this a.m., waffling on & on & on ad infinitum. I'm lookin' at this bloke & thinking I bet in 6 months time all your bollocks won't mean a thing & you will feel embarrassed amongst your peers because the world would have changed & you are alarming the population for nought, but dribble away mate.
