I think the loudness was satisfactory, but in my honest opinion it could well have been slower.

The theory is pretty universal when you're not arguing the merits of the system.

The problem is that someone in your position can take certain facts for granted and not use them in a discussion, but someone ELSE might find those facts pertinent if they knew about them. Bias is inevitable in that it dictates what data you present and what you leave out.

Will the current situation raise/lower/unalter my frequency of getting laid? Also, will women tend to be more kinky in bed during these times?

I honestly don't know the details of investing in the UK, but to address Mang's question I think that the EU as a whole has been following the same financial principles of the U.S. but at least they have the luxury of being a bit "behind the curve" so if the people in charge of your monetary policy are smart, they make quick changes when our economy started tanking, but I doubt they did and I would guess you guys will be in the same shape we are with bailouts and rising unemployment in several months. I am not of the mindset of the U.S. is the end all and be all of the world, at all, but to be truthful our own economy is complicated enough so I have not devoted any time to reading up on what is happening in your part of the world. Sound financial advise that will work anywhere though, including for you, would be to not buy shit you can't afford, live within your means and save money for a rainy day.

Funny you should ask...

One sex toys website actually reported an increase of sales. They attribute this to the fact that couples have less money to go out, so many are opting instead to find entertainment in the house (read: "in bed"), and sex toys are a relatively cheap way to spice things up.

Some people actually think an increase in births is possible in the near future.
