The markets are a disaster

The people involved in financial markets around the world seem to be the most stressed out, panicky, trigger-happy bunch of people on the planet. That's just wonderful. Banks are toppling like dominoes, the markets are plunging, and nobody is able to control it because everyone's just panicking. Stop it! For everyone's sake, get a bloody grip!

In other news, I did a lot of ironing this evening. This is a twice-yearly event, and I'll be able to wear flat clothes for a couple of weeks until I go back to my usual 'it'll only get wrinkled on the train anyway' way of approaching the world.
