I thought everyone would be commenting this... or are we just staring in at the numbers and their potential meaning?

it's actually -8.8%... going lower on globex

I say, a reduction of 8% is nothing. It dropped ~20% on 19 October 1987.Luckily my film royalties increased by 75% that year, so I was laughing, what?

so funny you almost paid your TV licence, what ?

I say, I think you must be overpaying your TV licence if you pay out as much as I got from my royalties. I think you should complain to the BBC, what?

this is a cryptic clue. The answer is INIQUITOUS. breakdown of the clue is One = I Northern Ireland = NI City = QUITO American = US and it means base.
