Osborne on a conference call with Michael Burke this morning – Burke declines, as too busy with those TASCy Promissory Notes – but promises to send one of his High Infants graduates. HRH delighted and sends a warm note of appreciation to Patricia the Irish Sovereign_in_exile.
A further enhancement for the benefit of the 9 year old would be the new Delta One lego which is an empty box retailing at CHF 2 bn which facilitates the buying and selling of synthetic lego that doesn’t actually exist. So it’s like his 5 year old sister playing pretend.
where is the arrow from the F1 driver to the bondholders????

Members of the French National Assembly and Senate listened attentively last week to a briefing from their president. As he does every Tuesday, Nicolas Sarkozy had invited leading representatives from within his governing party to breakfast at the Élysée Palace. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the weekly routine.

But then, Sarkozy formulated his thoughts in a way that baffled his audience: “I spent the night with Germany.”
