We live to fight another day. AIG, having threatened to swallow the entire banking system in a systemic vortex collapse has been duly rescued at the last minute by the United States Socialist Republic.
Everyone is still a bit nervous and jumpy, but there were fewer vacant stares of dread around. In fact the blue-tooth headsetters were in a positively frivolous mood. As one wandered past I heard a snippet of conversation that went something like "So, ven you say es ist guaranteed, do you mean actually guaranteed or possibly guaranteed...?" Someone was clearly promising to do something for someone else, which meant something was happening. An encouraging sign.
As the mood has lightened a touch, I feel happy in posting this wondrous link sent to me today (thanks Motty Jr!). The two chaps in the background are clearly spot monkeys... ;-)
