    Are you the Minster for Finance?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I didn't know we had a Minister for Finance - is that a new thing?

    Ten pens strapped together is a good move in avoiding writer's cramp.

    Just make up your own meaning for it.

    So when you write IOCEC youre actually thinking I Only Carry Extralarge Condoms.

    Yes, im that bored.

    I hated the term "celtic tiger", prayed for it to go away, and it did, I was left penniless but happy. But then the pricks got a new catchphrase "credit crunch".

    Bring back the tiger, all is forgiven! I prefer to cringe with a fat wallet.

    and Readjustment, hate when i hear that. You readjust your trousers, the whole country bending over and taking it in the ass for the next few years isn't a readjustment, its sodomy.

    The country is going through a phase of sodomy (that sounds right)

    "going forward" is there a more annoying phrase that has come out of this "current economic climate"? I heard my binman use that phrase this morning!

    Yay I love when you can put two buzz phrases together that don't make real sense and use them in conversation to see the confusion.

    "Sorry George I couldn't get you the usual extra salt with your Big Mac meal. You understand in the current economic, climate change."
