    The great depression

    Depression looming? or will the Fed pull it off

    Another bit of doom

    The number of articles appearing with the words "the great depression" are increasing.

    So what's going to happen?

    The good news is that'll I'll be able to buy a villa in Florida for £25.

    The bad news is that'll it'll be 3 times what my 4 bed house in Winchester will be worth
    ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

      what's the difference between a depression and a recession?
      IIRC a recession is two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP. So is a depression just an prolonged recession, or are there other characteristics?

        I think a depression is in your head and a recession is on your head.

        HTH.

          I thought this thread was about the fella suing M & S for slipping on a grape. He lost

          Or about the bloke suing the bookies for his losses. He lost that too

          But then, this fella is probably depressed too...

          Older and ...well, just older!!

            I always enjoy Snaw's witty and incisive comments.

                In fact I'm so impressed with Snaws wit that I copy and save it and repeat it at parties. The reactions are quite hilarious ranging from a punch on the nose to being chased out of the room by an "empathetic trannie" waving a handbag.

                  Do you use the words 'Doom' and 'Depression' a lot at these parties or do you save those for your padded cell?
