Please, can everyone shut the hell up before it's all too late?
Considering that my financial situation before the 'crunch' consisted of me making (very small amounts of) money on an hourly wage, getting said money and then immediatly spending that money on clothes and alcohol, the credit crunch shouldn't really affect me at all.
I don't own any properties, I'm young enough to still live with my parents and not be judged for it by society and the only shares I've ever owned have been won in games of Monopoly.

And yet, it has.

By boring me to bloody tears.

Forget the fear of losing all you own and of dying poor and alone on the streets of some post apocalyptic wasteland, one hand out begging passersby for a loan- before that ever happens you will have become so sick of hearing about the credit crunch you will have died of boredom after being unable to stomach yet another newspaper piece using every synonem available for 'pretty shit' to describe the situation, followed by fruitless searching through the t.v. channels to find a show that hasn't managed to somehow, however weakly, link its plot to the crisis after which you flip desperatly through pages of magazines only to find a slightly incorrect summary of what the newspapers have already reported but with a much lower quality in writing and then when at last you think you know where you can escape all this overwhelming tedium you log onto the internet only to find that bloody b3ta is now rabbiting on about it too!

Aaaaaaaaaaaagh. *dies*.

(is also sorry to anyone who is actually properly affected by an actually pretty shit situation)

That is a full stop.

Do not be afraid.

It looks
more like a kitten with fluttery eyelashes doing a coy smile.

So there.

Ahh touché
Actually, I was only jealous.
I am, in fact, quite impressed with your ability to create a sentence of such length and girth without straying too far from the laws of language.

As I remember it...
Everyone used to just... trail off... like this...

I think they thought it made them look... deep and really... emotional
