If you haven't heard the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy radio series the narrator (the book) always had bleepy noises in the background, that's what i want playing.

That's the voice in my head when i read the astounding facts and thoughts of this blog, as this reality is sure stranger than fiction.
G may not be a born comedian but he was sure spoon fed wit and wore clown pants nappies as a baby – HONK HONK.

As for the yanks, that's a bit like asking a christian to read the koran, different beliefs. You have to highlight the recent lawsuits etc that cast doubt over the system, that maybe there are flaws which are pointed out in the book. That only a fool would presume they know the truth without looking at other opinions in what is the worst finacial crisis in a century.
It's not as if everything is great and the book says different.
And all the cool kids are reading it, yanks fall for that one all the time.

That they keep coming back is, I flatter myself, a sign that, they know I'm not talking rubbish (if I was a nutter they wouldn't waste their time), and that I must have made it on to some sort of long-list of people and places whose opinions are thought worth keeping tabs on.

OR each bank, unbeknownst to them, harbours at least one renegade.

Wow! that's a fantastic feather in your cap. There's enough stuff written about the financial crisis to keep an army of bank employees occupied every day. Yet they read you.

I'd presume that they think you're worth reading, possibly as an antidote to the bollocks coming from their own corporate spin doctors. Who knows?

Thank you for offering to mention the book to people. That is the number one prior=ity for us now. So thanks.

My tack to those constitutionally unlikely to agree with a word of it, is to say, "But might it not be wise to know what sort of very different opinions are being formed and gaining traction? If you don't what other ideas are lodging in people's minds,how can you counter them? And of course, there is always the slim chance you might find something in there that makes sense, even if you don't like the sense it makes.

I presume this is why various large banks from are amoung my regular readers.

Good to hear about the book. I'm going to try promoting it to a couple of American friends who provide debt consultancy. These are insanely positive guys regarding the future of the financial system. I believe this to be down to a toxic mix of American Dream and Knowledgism.
I don't like watching sad, real-life films, and I suspect that these guys won't read your book for similar reasons – the reality is just too much.
Any suggestions to how I approach these toughest of customers?

24K, I'm not sure how you can let Prodigy fade in to the background whilst reading a book; however, surely 'I've Been Caught Stealing' or 'World's On Fire' would set the scene. For a really sombre setting you could try Massive Attack's 'Prayer for England'.

I gotta hook up some bleepy noises on the keyboard to improv as i read.

If you mix the name of your book with The Prodigy album Music for the Jilted Generation, you get Music for the Debted Generation.

I do like Songs of the Great Repression or,

Music of the Great Repression though.

I forgot what you were talking about now, let's scroll up.

I wish i was a banker, i love drinking bolly

If Japan had a failed auction it would be lights out. But they won't because the BoJ would step in and buy. But if the news got out that it would have been a fail but for the BoJ…
