Come on people, you know you want to From the front page of the BBC right now:

I get the feeling that the "bad times" are never actually going to arrive. We've been told the recession was "just around the corner" for about a year now. What's happened is the housing bubble has deflated a bit. People may have to do without that second iPod per year, and stay with their current mobile contract and phoen for 6 months longer than before.

Anti-Doom!
