This is a question The Credit Crunch

Did you score a bargain in Woolworths?
Meet someone nice in the queue to withdraw your 10p from Northern Rock?
Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?

How has the credit crunch affected you?

It's slowly ruining my life....
...honestly.

Am I suffering from financial distress? Nope.

Am I in negative equity? Nope.

Did my life savings go down the pan with Northern Rock or which ever back went bust this week? Nope.

Am I reluctant to spend my money? Nope.

Am I saddened by the loss, and to an extent, imminent loss of some almost institutional high street names? Not on your Nelly!

So, why is ruining my life?

Well, you see, if I keep hearing...

"current financial climate"
"global economy"
"Alistair Darling"
"financial downturn"

.....or any other media-honed, skull numbing buzz-words, I'm fairly sure I'm going to start going postal and shooting up every local and national news centre in the country! Arrrrrgghhhh!

It'll ruin my life because, between you and me, I don't like prison.

I miss watching the news when it was about floods, war and murderers. At least the general newsy banter was more varied and every cunt who has a TV didn't feel they needed to have their "I watched the news once" non-opinions on the matter.

Gah.

Agreed.
You said what I meant to, but more better written than mine.

That pretty much sums up my situation too
:D

Well
You get a click for saving me the effort of writing pretty much the same thing word-for-word.
