Champagne is traditional, if you can open the windows.

Champagne ? That sounds a little arrogant, if you don't mind me saying. Sounds a little out of touch with how a lot of people are feeling right now.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

BOR, I think it depends entirely on the champagne. Certainly to throw a decent Cristal vintage or even a mediocre Bollinger would be wasted on you and your friends, but your bog standard Moet or Veuve Clicquot is good for little else.

Perhaps a Laurent-Perrier Rose? A reasonable enough drink, but there's enough of it about to chuck over the protesters without worrying about running out

Colour copier busy this year?












on a semi-serious note, I don't think that might be as 'funny' as in previous years...

I'd think that's pretty much a given?

There is a bit going on out the front of Liverpool street but all the "fun" is up by RBS and ABN Amro. I've taken a few pics but forgot to bring in the USB cable to upload them to my PC.

Come the revolution anyone in a suit with smooth hands will be forced to explain what they do for money and why.

Well quite. Nothing like a good "Year Zero" bring-your-own-garden-implement-to-help-purge-the-bourgeoisie party, eh BOR? I wonder if he has a policy on the intelligentsia as well...

I have gone blue in the face trying to explain to well-meaning but ignorant acquaintances that only a tiny fraction of "city workers" receive enormous bonuses and so forth. The bulk of people working here are just doing a day-job like most other employed folk in the country.

Yeah, let's kick the bankers, anyone in a suit. Hang on, that sounds familiar.

"Thousands were killed for wearing spectacles, which marked them out as intellectuals. Knowing a foreign language became a death sentence; babies and the elderly were murdered because they were useless for work" “Sometimes it took just one blow, sometimes two,” he told The Times. “After I clubbed them someone else would slit their throats. But every time I clubbed someone to death I would think, tomorrow, this might be me kneeling here, with one of the other guards killing me.”

Why do you believe that?

As far as I know there hasn't been before.

Shame they aren't directing their ire at the people who are actually responsible.

Who's that then?

Certainly isn't me.

How about every individual who has bought a house in the last few years and thereby fueled the asset bubble that has just burst?

Yes, quite.

All those who have 'got me rights innit' shuffling credit around to buy their plasma screens. But that's the fault of Tarquin at Lloyds of course.

I bought my house about 8 years ago and have about £300 worth of debt.

Still not me is it?

So, when was the last time the Government borrowed loads of money to give huge bonusses to bankers working for failed companies?
