    These years of hardship are dragging on & on, I thought in 2008 it would be all over in 2 or 3 years but there are no signs of a recovery.
    The thought of austerity budgets for the next 3 years is really depressing, I'd love to be cryogenically frozen until this whole thing blows over.

    If this were possible, what year would I be setting my dial for to be woken up ?.

    We should cryogenically freeze Brian Cowen and wake him every 5 years to give him a good kicking. That way future generations will be able to take their anger out too.

    That's a bit goofy but oh boy oh boy oh boy would it be nice!

    I can't decide on what year I'd wanna wake up though - aw, phooey!

    Set it for tomorrow.

    Maybe then you'll wake up on the right side of the cryogenic freezer.

    I can see this decade being like the 1930s. This century's Great Depression so another 8 or so years yet :cool:

    Insert Demolition Man quote here.

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

    You'd have to go the whole Futurama hog and set it for 1000 years. I honestly think if given this opportunity I'd go for it.

    but the austerity would cut funding for your cryogenic freezing... you'd be thawed out next budget

    Might drop me in the great depression of 2051, apparently the fiscal treaty didn't work.

    With maths skills like yours no wonder Irish people are so bad with money.

    Ah, forgot to carry the one, it's alright, I'm an engineer, sure what would I need maths for anyway.
