So we have had " Black Friday" and "Super Saturday" not to mention "Bloody Sunday" and then there was "Manic Monday" ,however I'm going to call this "Tuppence ha'penny Tuesday"
Just to explain to anyone under the age of 40 that's the old British currency!so anyhow we got a big meeting of finance ministers in Europe were the Irish finance minister Brian Lenihan has intimated that they may come to an arrangement to cover one hundred thousand pounds across the board
Though this is probably just a rumour as the Irish are covering all savings in their banks, the Irish minister said that he was prepared to cover tree hundred and tirty tree tousand tree hundred and tirty tree pence.
Apparently the Belgian minister is "sitting on the fence" nothing new there then? The German minister is doing his best to confuse everyone by explaining that his views are actually the reverse of his statement and reporters should study german language,especially since the minister from the Netherlands was indeed talking "Double Dutch"
So that brings us to the silver haired British minister who has a passing resemblence to a character from "Paddington Bear" The cartoonist ran out of grecian 2000 just after dying his eyebrows jet black.
As we can see below Mr Darling adopting his financial "I want all your money and I'm going to invest it until it's all gone " look!
Alistair "Darling" is about as convincing as a not guilty pledge from OJ Simpson..I think the word "Dithering" comes to mind.The old quotes from Gordon Brown of "Prudence" and "Boom or Bust" are but history! Well I hear that Captain Darling is going to cure the current financial woes .His latest ploy is to capitalise all the banks and make them pay you out in "OLD MONEY"
That should average out to "TUPPENCE HA'PENNY" Ok ,I'm not saying I dislike Banks, Bank officials or City Boys but but there is an old saying in Northern Ireland it goes like this:
"What goes around comes around"
"Hell slap it up them!"
