Remembering Mahatma Ghandi With Bread
IT’S close to Mahatma Gandhi’s 139th birthday. Im Amritsa, the boys are playing at reincarnation; although some may not be as they claim.
And in the UK:
IT was Gandhi who said, ‘There are people in the world so hungry that God cannot appear to them expect in the form of bread.’ That is unlikely to apply to Robert Schofield, boss of the UK’s biggest food manufacturer, Premier Foods” – The Grocer
To remember in our prayers…

That has to be a contender for longest stretch of all time.
What next, Jesus on the wine industry?

Mahatma coat!

Thank you, Desperate Dan!
Having spent most of the day watching the economy implode an abominable pun is just what I needed…

chenier, you’re welcome. I’m back near the LHC and a drop of 27 degrees in temperature so I will let you know if my female friend from Zimbabwe approaches (euphemism).
Dollar/Euro looks increasingly good. Mr Trichet from the ESB seems to be screwing up as usual.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Boing, boing!
It reminds me of a bit in Mama Mia, which is also a cheerful thought…

Sorry, sounded OK but that should have been ECB not ESB .European Central Bank.

Be fair, DD; at least he hasn’t cheerfully announced that, whilst
“We are living through the type of wrenching financial crisis that comes along only once in a century”
the economy will recover
“sooner rather than later”
Greenspan has.
It’s enough to make you hurl yourself into the jaws of the Large Hadron Collider…

I’ll stay with Alan G.
Heavy on the US dollar, steady on the Swiss franc, light on the Euro, clear of the pound.
My current spread feels pretty good but my legs really ache…

Which is more than can be said for your Libid(o)…

If the guys at the London Interbank Bid Rate really had an informed opinion of the current situation they wouldn’t have a libido problem either.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:18 pm
It’s not the guys who do the calculations who have a problem; it’s the banks who give them the numbers who have the problems…
And, of course, all the people who have funding tied to LIBOR…

Not only are their models not appropriate, but also they have no way of validating the information that they are given.
I am reminded of something that I was taught a very long time ago:
Statistics are something that you either look up or you make up.

Try Donald MacKenzie’s article on LIBOR in the London Review of Books last week:

I’d be interested to know why you think the bank’s models are inappropriate when it comes to answering the question of what they think their bank could borrow at from other banks…

Eonia and Sonia sound like a couple of goer’s
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Chernier - that would take me about 5 and half years to read and understand that article
FSBF pigeon would know it already!
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 pm
FSBF pigeon probably wrote it!
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
If only!
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Saul,
Eonia and Sonia cerainly have their attractions, but not for me. My Libid(o) doesn’t work that way…
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Lone,
I really wouldn’t worry about it. Don’t forget the High End Girlfriend Index (HELGI) is probably a better indicator of just how bad things can get than LIBOR, or indeed, Libid(o); as the guy who invented it said:
“The last overhead to go is a really high-end girlfriend. If you’re a short, ugly 40-year-old guy and you’re throwing over a high-quality girlfriend, you’re desperate.”
You are in a far nicer place than that…
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I most certainly am! You have a wonderful way with words.
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Thank you, Lone!
