Everything is terrible!
Except... I have a house with a cheap mortgage, a job that fore-fills me creatively, a fiancé that loves me and 2 cats.

Muaha! HA!
"Feral cats ``the size of dogs’’ have been terrorising Moorooka residents for more than a year, with one resident and her dog mauled just last week."

That's what you get for having dogs the size of rats.

Fore-fills?
Like some sort of pre-emptive topping up?

same here
although my missus also thinks the cat would try to kill said dog. On balance I think she's right.

See, people with cats have 66% more happiness than those whose partners won't let them have a dog.
Science!

That happiness is an illusion induced by the Toxoplasma Gondii Parasite, that your cat implanted to control you ~_~

in the words of harry hill theres only way to sort this out...
my metaphorical dog must fight your real cat...

and since my dog is hypothetical... its a rottweiler, pit bull Alsatian cross.

Why's it cross? You been interfering with it sexually?

But we all know that in about 2 weeks
the ONS will go "Oooops! We got our sums wrong again! When we said that the economy had contracted what we actually meant was it had expanded".

to be fair
this number is the preliminary number based on only about 40% of the total data required and they've been pretty clear about it too.

Economic stats like this are always adjusted later, and it tends to be adjusted upwards since getting the estimate wrong the other way round would be a *bad thing*.
( JeremyBeadlesHands is nacho friend, Thu 26 Apr 2012, 10:41, Reply)

I agree.
I just wish that with something that has so much impact on how people perceive the economic situation they could wait until they had better numbers.

I know they are quite clear about how the numbers are calculated but our wonderful media usually tags that on at the end of their articles screaming "Recession! Double Dip!".
