Always Look On The Bright Side...

I was listening to Sanjeev Bhaskar on Desert Island Discs, and he chose Monty Python signing "Look On the Bright Side of Life", which made me smile.

And then I read in yesterday's Guardian that whilst in the last year the value of my shares in MegaBank have lost over 80% of their value (and, in the last week, lost more than half of their value!), and the UK stockmarket lost 41%, the Iraqi stockmarket is up 40% in the last month. Indeed, the chart in the Grauniad shows only the Iraqi stockmarket increasing in value.

And this too made me smile!

Incidentally, the upmarket version of Desert Island Discs, Private Passions, is on just now, featuring Nick Clegg.

Say what you like about Tracey Emin – she knows how to give catchy titles to her work. Such as

”You Forgot To Kiss My Soul” )

Just in...

BBC radio news has just announced that Fred Goodwin will resign from RBS tomorrow.

I have no idea whether this is good news or not.
