Man in a Shed: Psychologists killed my hamster

Psychologists killed my hamster

Never mind Ozzy Osbourne as a threat to small rodents, or Freddie Star, its the psychologists you need to watch out for.

It appears that the psychoanalysis community have been dispatching hamsters. I mean just look at this - clearly someone has murdered and skinned a hamster ( mind you saying so might get me sectioned under the metal health act - now you know why its advisable to blog under a pseudonym).

These are of course the famous/infamous ink blots that are supposed to allow you to say something key but unguarded about yourself.

However I have a sneaking feeling its all a bit silly....

Anyway the physco mob is up in arms about the revealing of their magian's code by Wikipedia - which also strike me as a little silly. ( Are they not able to create more ink blots ? )

Thud.

PS If I have just revealed myself to be a complete nutter ( perhaps not a medical term ) then please let me carry on in blissful ignorance of the fact.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.

Inflation is taxation without legislation .. Milton Friedman
