So it's Budget day

[ShadeofViolet]

If you were the Chancellor, what would be in your budget?

to me as well.

God every time i see Gordon Brown i just think of this

not seen that before.

Is this our Budget Afternoon Thread?

I really must get some work done

Budget being referred to on Twitter as "Darling's Wake" - by the right wingers, obviously.

Intrigued that Cameron is doing the budget response instead of Osborne.

Brown is looking rather handsome today, non?

mp - you can't do work this afternoon

Ewe - I hadn't twigged that. It is intriguing.

mp - have you lost your glasses?

ok....
testing time blah blah, should we throw our country to the dogs or throw it to the dogs.

(just noticed clever change of thread title)

Are our responses being monitored?......

yes they are being monitored by Sam Cam, who is texting our responses back to her hubby while being sick in a bucket

BBC is crashing like British Airways shares over here

I am going to have to rely on Guardian Blog

Now that would be multitasking

are you attempting to watch it online then?

Given up watching online

I might have to dig out some sort of wireless

checking Twitter where the rules seem to be: Retweet anything Eddie Izzard says

hmm

What's Gordon smiling at, is DC blowing him kisses?

I would type what Darling is saying but I keep zoning out!

I wish he would stop wobbling on about what a fab job he thinks he has done and just give us an honest run down.

oh right, I forgot, its politics.

Yes I keep getting distracted by work

crap

DD just woke up... Darling competing with Mr Tumble here!

forgoodnesssake Darling, what is this, a budget or an election speech?
Get on with it.

Retirement reform, I like.

missed that bit! was wondering what Mr Tumble looked like!

did anyone know about the doubling of stamp duty for property over £1mill before?
