Is this the worst recession ever?

LarrytheLantern · 30-09-2010 09:34PM #1

No!

This puff of a recession is over-hyped, over-reported and more than a tad over-indulged.

The 80s was a proper recession, not like this namby-pamby little recession. I hear young folk are complaining 'cos they haven't got enough room in their Mammies house, or their broadband is a bit slow.

In the 80s you ate your kids and were happy to have kids to eat.

I don't see many kids going around in dungarees and wellies today like I did for years

The main thing making this recession "worse" IS the reporting, constant BULLSH!T on that show with vincent "zombie" brown, the news, prime time, basically any outlet where people can moan about stuff. If we all shut up about it, it wouldn't be half as bad!

People are building up to that, and impregnating anything with a pulse to get the future main courses sorted.

The real recession will be starting on Dec 6th, and will last at least 10 years, tank you FF.:mad:

LarrytheLantern · 30-09-2010 09:49PM

at least now somebody might start recording some proper music again.

you know the angst-ridden, a couple of electric guitars & some drums sort of stuff.

Christ maybe even Punk might make a comeback!:eek:

Completely agree with you, watching Prime Time is condensed depression.

Yes the prices of houses should half when most workers people leave the country and no bank can give a mortgage.

About 2 fooking years too late IMO. This countries economic policy is like a cancer patient spending a fortune on alternative treatments and quackery in the blind hope that they could avoid a major operation to remove the tumour. The government has stuck its head in the sand and allowed the rot to spread and now there's little hope since the tumour has gone too deep. We should have taken our medicine years ago instead we got pipe dreams and corner turning till we became so lost we have little hope of finding our own way out of the maze.

No. Definately not yet.

Why on dec 6th?

Don't thinks it bad at all!
The majority if the country is still working and everyone is still eating.

It's over hyped because of the over priced houses and dodgy banks.

If u keep the banking **** up separate from the fact that this recession was coming anyway, it doesn't seem that bad!
And it's being going for 2 years now people!

omahaid · 30-09-2010 10:09PM

Are we in a recession or a depression? Or were we in a depression?

Dudess · 30-09-2010 10:10PM

Lol at the username of the person who thanked the OP. :pac:

Apples and oranges to compare this recession to the one in the 80s IMO - back then there wasn't anything like the debt there is now.

The press is riding the arse off it though, to be fair.

Turtyturd · 30-09-2010 10:11PM

Of course not, sure we just turned the corner according to Dumb and Dumber running the country. I'm going to the bank tomorrow to see how much of a mortgage I can get on my dole wage.

starlit · 30-09-2010 10:15PM

Yes, yes indeed it is the worst recession ever! Worse than the 80's recession believe me. I do believe that this recession we are currently in is said to get worse not better!:(

Wall st crashed....fcuk me thats the first I've heard of it, was anyone hurt.

LarrytheLantern · 30-09-2010 10:21PM

the 80s was a man's recession i believe.
this recession has a much more effeminate look 'n feel about it.

i mean Brian O'Farrell would never have worn that blouse Miriam had on.

I am struggling to put food on the table atm, no hype, harsh reality, and i am experiencing it getting worse by the month.

hmmm · 30-09-2010 10:22PM

Back in the 80s we didn't know what semiskimmed frappamochachocowackachinos were and we'd have assumed a ciabatta was a small dog. Now we know what those things are and can't afford them anymore.
