Yang the History Man 8:16pm on 17 Aug 2009 Tiger had two incredible stats. The 14 for 14 that was ended yesterday and the fact that he has never come from behind on the last day to win a major. This stat also seems an incredibly significant part of his story.
England player ratings 10:21pm on 08 May 2009 Your ratings in fact go from 5 to 8 not 0 to 10. If we say your ratings go from 3.5 to 8.5 and then double them we get...

Strauss 7
Cook 5
Bopara 9
Peitersen 5
Collingwood 3
Prior 7
Bresnan 5
Broad 7
Swann 9
Anderson 6
Onions 9

which seems more accurate to me (though peitersen would get 3, bresnan 4 and cook 6 in my ratings).
Why tax the rich? 11:53am on 24 Apr 2009 A massive 12.5 billion pounds spent on a VAT cut last Autumn. Positive effect on our economy...?
Gilts and guilt 3:45pm on 25 Mar 2009 This comment is awaiting moderation. Explain.
Bonus buck stops with Brown 01:13am on 06 Feb 2009 you can't imagine any other industry where this would even be a question or matter of discussion.
KP makes headlines again 03:13am on 05 Feb 2009 Pietersen got himself out going for 3 figures and Cook got himself out going for 2 figures...
First Septic Bank (revisited) 2:31pm on 16 Jan 2009 It's incredible the power some contributors think Robert and other journalists have. If he was only to say, "Everything's fine" it would be. What else could he do with just a few positive words? Create peace in the Middle East? Resolve the economic situation in Zimbabwe? Reverse gravity?

No - like objects fall to Earth because of gravity - debts have to be repaid. We will collectively be repaying them for some time to come. Information is power in these difficult times and I come here to understand more. Robert does a good job of explaining. Hopefully that will enable me (and us educated readers) to avoid the worst of this crisis. And have some money left so that we can be the leaders of the next upturn when it happens.
Citi and manic Monday 07:30am on 24 Nov 2008 Can I be the first of your disgusted readers to complain about this blog. Once again you’re only looking at the negative Robert. Irrespective of the fact that most countries, banks and many citizens have lived beyond their means for ages – why do you need to tell us? We could have gone on like this for years. You’ve completely ruined our party and this whole crisis is completely your fault.
