Nearing the end - a rant.

Look, I know things are a bit grim on the world economic front, but the headline in the Daily Telegraph the other day which said:

For all the talk, we're no nearer the end of this economic crisis

can't actually be true.

Can it.

Right. Glad that's sorted out.

So. All together, now: Always look on the bright side...

Word To Use Today: crisis.  This is a Latin word which means decision. Before that it was borrowed from the Greek krinein, which means to decide.

Ironic, really, given the circumstances.
