What have you cutback on since Stephen's unwelcome arrival?

pandamoanium

Me?

Well aside from the glaringly obvious coke and hookers habit I've also cancelled Sky, got rid of the landline and switched to a cheaper ISP.

Your turn!

admiralofthefleet

who?

IvyTheTerrible

You've obviously cut back on calling things by their proper name.

clothes

And general wreckless spending

I'm off out tonight though woohoo

In yer face Stephen!

Puddleduck

Recession threads.

Funnily enough the recession is more of a celtic tiger for me.. It's brilliant

TwoShedsJackson

Nothing.

Rented Mule

Ireland.

Bailed out August 7th.

I no longer burn fifty Euro notes in front of sniveling, beggar children - opting instead to incinerate more modest denominations such as twenties and tens.

FearDark

**** off with recession threads.

CCCP^

Who the **** is Stephen? Is it suddenly cool and hip to refer to the recession as Stephen? ffs...

minidazzler

I had to cut back on my Coke and Hookers habit, that sucks.,

Nothing really. I've never been good at the whole "work" thing, so I'm pretty much in the same place as I was before, financially.


I have taken more interest in FAS courses though since Stephen. They seem to have gotten more started up and running, so I'd feel silly to not take advantage and try and figure out what I do and don't want to do.

You must be a liquidator

K-Ren

I don't think the recession's affected me too much, I just made the mistake of going to univeristy, and now I'm broke.

Fizman

I have to be honest and state that I have cut back on sweet fcuk all!!!

I was out two nights last week, 3 the week before that, 3 the week before that, 2 the week before that, and the week before that consisted of 6 nights out in Crete.

Spending sh1t loads online on all different bits.

Just moved into a savage, brand new apartment.

The economy need reckless bast&rds like myself to be honest.

Edit: I'm also going out tonight and tomorrow night. And no, they won't be 'quiet' ones.

Go hard or go home folks! Thats the rule!

Jet Black

I've stopped buying the dom.
Have to drink the working class sh!t, moet.
Also i only can afford one new merc this year.
Had to buy a smaller private jet. Had to sell the 32 seater and buy a 16 seater.
Its hard but i'll have to suffer through:-(

I've found that cutting down on botteled water saved me alot of money.

But I found an alternative
I think its called NAMBian or something..
It's basically just african childrens tears in a bottle shaped like a Fleshlight.
Tastes great and it's cheaper than Deep Riverock

The guy who sells it is a bit weird tho, I still dont get wht he wears an eye patch

Suddenly? You're not spending enough time on Boards!


I'm having a great recession, it has to be said. So far I've been pretty much untouched by it. I'm sure I'll be raped by the next budget, but until then life goes on as normal.

Elliemental

I was living in utter penury during the `boom` years, and oddly enough, only started to really get on my feet when the recession was beginning. I was worried sick at first, I thought i`d get the sack and be back to square one again pretty quick, but the opposite has happened. I`m by no means rich, but for the first time i`m able to afford extras and still get by from one month to the next. It seems my job is pretty safe too, for at least the next two years.

orourkeda

I've given up trying to get work

Not this again!

I think that got started about 3,336 recession threads ago, before the dawn of time.

Dont you just hate threads where everyone seems to be yappin in code?

Am I the only one who missed the introduction of this?

Jesus Wept

Because that's his name.

Overheal

I missed this too: I thought he was Kilroy?

Voltex

Bloody Boards secret code...always feel left out....

Jet Black

Someone thought it was cool and now everyone who does not refer to its as Stephen is mocked and stoned.

AnonoBoy

There was a vote.

We all voted Nigel the first time around but apparently that was wrong so we kept having the vote until we got it right.

Don't you get the super secret memos?

Jesus Wept

As the rescession is easing off, it's permissible to refer to it as 'Stevie' and as things improve 'Steve', 'Steo' and eventually 'Ste'.

Because people are idiots.

"Well, loike mammy met daddy during Steve and loike, I was bouurne during Stevie and loike met Fiachra at the beginning of Steve. We loike, dated for aaaages, all through Steo and now loike, we're getting married in Howth in Ste.

Thankfully Stephen is well, loike over, coz loike, I'm just soooo tired of being a frugalista & these Uggh boots are loike, well old."

Anyone who refers to the recession as Stephen, should be banned -- not from Boards, but from the country.

Jet Black

So what are we calling Stephen now?
