Beerconomics
The rising costs caused by credit frenzied individuals leading to hyper inflation and the declining income the subsequent and totally unavoidable (que scary muzac) CREDIT CRUNCH has brought required drastic action. So, I packed up my family and moved to China.

Now we are living in Shanghai, where its polluted and grimy atmosphere blankets everything in a layer of toxic dust and not one bastard speaks anything like the Queens English and every person who owns a car has no fucking idea how to drive it and behaves like a right cunt on the road while every square inch of footpath is taken up by a stream of clapped out push bikes thicker than a 10 pint piss and the food contains fucking great hunks of unspecified animal guts but, we can by cartons (ie Box, Slab, Case, 12 X 750 ml bottles or 24 X 375 ml cans) of Beer for 3 quid (USD 4.00, EUR 3.50, AUD 6.00, ZWB 159, 813, 720) which makes surviving this depression easy.

Alcohol the cause of and answer to, all of life’s problems.*
