la crise, the recession - whatever

blimey - so much doom and gloom in the papers, on the telly, on the radio. Depression is probably a better word as it seems to describe the general mood settling across the world. What a load of miseryguts the bloody politicians and medimongers are. Let's rock the boat I say. The only way to fight this flippin' recession is to get out there and do stuff - ignore the bad vibes coming over the airwaves and carry on living as best you can. After all, petrol is now cheaper at the pump, and if the general slowdown continues, think how much better it will be for the environment as factories stop pumping out so much toxic waste. Maybe there is an upside after all, and maybe, just maybe, we will all learn to temper the raging consumerism that has overaken our lives.
