BBC's Gloom and Doom

World economic growth is set to fall to just 0.5% this year, its lowest rate since World War II, warns the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF projects the UK, which recently entered recession, will see its economy shrink by 2.8% next year, the worst contraction among advanced nations.

In another gloomy view of the UK economy, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said Britain would be saddled with government debt for more than 20 years.

But what do they know, eh? The UK is uniquely well placed to ride out this global problem. First Citizen Gordon told us so himself.

Well the UK's balloon was inflated more than any other so it stands to reason that it will make the loudest pop.

Like I said before… stop worrying about things you can’t affect, it’s bad for your health.

Yes, I was wondering what the definition of that was. It obviously doesn't include Iceland, because they're more f***ed than we are, aren't they?

Does that mean England's out of the six nations then
Ireland might be in with a chance

Good advice ginger. They're wrong what they say about you.

I think Ireland will beat England. They’ll pick a quick flanker to target Cipriani, who’ll kick the ball straight into his hands.

sidestep the great oaf, get behind the gain line and spread the ball wide to Delon Armitage who'll score in the corner.

Fly halves can't sidestep these days since the rules that forced flankers to stay bound. They're all fairies, scared of 16 stone lumps moving at 20mph.
