What did you do in 2020, when everything shut for COVID?

What did you do in 2008, when the arse fell out of the housing market?

What did you do in 2000, when the dotcom bubble popped?

Chances are the answer was "just shuffle on as normal, carry on living paycheck to paycheck, possibly get a new job if you work for somebody badly affected". Odds are your pension pot will recover by the time you need it.

What do rich people do? They gamble. Watch The Big Short. You could try that, but chances are you'll lose money. "The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent", as the old saying goes.

Appeal to their vanity. Start saying how brave the astronauts are and make them celebrities. Give them all the credit. Don't mention the funders at all.

Next ones go up with a billionaire on board for sure.

That's all very well for Spain who are fairly close to the equator, but us northerners would like to see some daylight in winter.

At least two billionaires keep firing rockets into space as a hobby. It's only a matter of time.

I often think we should let in anybody who wants to work, as long as they take one of ours that don't...

You used to have to do that to buy indie games on the Xbox 360. And the points would expire if you didn't use them in time.

I'm holding out for an Airwolf or Street Hawk.

That Eurotrash nudity was always such a gamble. Always a toss-up between actually attractive women, and a 73 year-old Danish naturist with tits like windsocks. Or Lolo bloody Ferrari and her horrendous stretched beachballs.

The weirdest thing about David is he looks CGI. When I saw him in Discovery I thought he'd died and they'd had to digitally model him for a scene.
