I think I am a little bit in love with Feargal Sharkey

@HeatherMJ @Geri He's got a good heart

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

@ccferrie @HeatherMJ He's got a perfect cousin, too

@Geri

I couldn't name any of his music, but...

He's absolutely right about this whole thing.

@Walrus @Geri

No Teenage Kicks found.

@Black_Flag @Geri

Just had a look. Embarassing! Of course, The Undertones' best song, only I didn't know it was them. Mrs Walrus knew that...

@Geri I think you mean England

@Geri Makes perfect sense. And easy to do.

‘The bond markets’ are not some rabid monolith. They always run diversified risked portfolios that absorb losses and bad luck, and still make good returns on the successful bits.
Frankly, they wouldn’t be at all surprised if the water sector became a bad debt, they’ve already priced it in, and are probably wondering why Reeves doesn’t just get in with it.
Govt are allowing themselves to be spooked by a boogeyman that doesn’t really exist.
