Reasons to be cheerful
1. Stockbrokers in visible pain:

2. Far-right scumbucket turned into a bloody nonsense by high-speed car crash. "He was our Diana, our Prince of SS-praising foreigner-hating vitriol and generally being a cunt," said one teary onlooker masturbating over a photograph of a dying African baby.
3. An estate agent near me - one of those ones with a flashy fridge full of smoothies, staffed entirely by hairgelled-up 11-year-old pricks with Windsor knots on their footballers' ties and branded fucking cars - is closing down.
So you see, it's not all doom and gloom, is it?

Untill just over two years ago myself and Mrs Akela lived in a flat partly behind and partly above an estate agent. The estate agent told our mutual land lord that he wanted to take over the whole building or he would walk.
We promptly got our two months notice from the land lord.
Then, and this is the best bit, the arsehole of an estate agent informed us that he would be retaining a flat in the building, but about half the size of the old one. Which he would rent back to us for £200 more per month than we were already paying. And of course we could find somewhere else to live for the 3 months it would take to renovate the building.
And then he claimed to be doing us a favour.
So I will join you in the pointing and laughing!

And the 42 day thing has been kicked into touch too. We should have credit crunches more often.
