This week: The global economy

Written by The Zeitghost

SORRY to spoil your St. Patrick’s Day hangover, but I’ve got some sobering news: we are in the middle of a global recession. Markets are collapsing, currencies are weakening, the value of oil and gold is skyrocketing, and the cost of a packet of Johnnie Onion Rings has broken the 50 cent barrier for the first time. The world economy is receding at an alarming rate; soon enough we will be lucky to have two pennies to rub together, and we will have to return to a system of bartering. I, for example, will offer my skills as a wordsmith and compose achingly tender poems and billet doux in exchange for getting my soffit and guttering cleaned.
